The Captain signed them also. Write to my wife and have her send the eleven dollars down to Menasha before the 20th of September.

1650réf. 37850Paris: Pierre Rocolet 1650. 4to. 9 1/4 x 7 inches. 6 340 6pp. Engraved printer's device on title-page engraved head-piece and initial on the dedication leaf 26 engraved illustrations including one full-page. Contemporary mottled calf expertly rebacked to style spine gilt with raised bands red morocco lettering piece Rare first edition of an important work of optics and the musical nature of the refraction of color. La Chambre a protégé of Cardinal de Richelieu served as physician to Chancellor Seguier and Louis XIII and entered the Academie Royale in 1666. The present work was instrumental in the development of French mathematician Pierre de Fermat's eponymous principle as well as the experiments by Newton which led to his publication of Opticks in 1704. Following Aristotle in deriving a link between the color spectrum and musical theory La Chambre theorized all colors being encompasses within white light and arranged colors over two octaves with the seven colors of Aristotle at successive fourths fifths and octaves. Thus arranged symmetrically the "scale" could be read in either direction both up and down with white as the highest or lowest notes. La Chambre hoped to establish a universal theory of color and musical harmony; i.e. if a musical interval was dissonant the colors it represented would similarly clash. In Newton's Opticks this parallel between the color spectrum and a musical scale was further refined. A second edition of this work would be published in 1662.

First edition a descriptive account of two teenagers with super-human powers. The first a Provençal shepherd boy possessed the ability to detect subterranean waters.

1665réf. 19485Paris: Jacques d’Allin 1665. Contemporary mottled calf spine and label gilt edges sprinkled red. Ownership inscriptions on the title and verso one dated 1674. Bookplate of “Pitfirrane.” In very good condition. Second edition of this pioneering work in neuropsychology. The author attempts to explain the guiding principles of human behavior and argues that life processes are responses to linking images that are innate to the organism. The text describes cognition in all living things including plants natural instinct and the functions of the soul. Cureau de la Chambre’s assertion that even inanimate vegetation has the faculties of thought and soul is unique; he claims that “everything which is living knows and all that which knows is living.” He goes on to classify cognition as either the “vegetative faculty” or the “natural faculty” the former being the body’s passive and innate mode the latter purposeful behavior resulting from intelligence. He acknowledges the Divine role in both: God designs organisms to function effectively without active intelligence but also gives free will to some. Marin Cureau de la Chambre 1594-1669 was a French physician. He served as royal physician to Louis XIII and Louis XIV and wrote numerous books on human and animal passions light digestion and occult practice. Peter Bayle called him “one of the most illustrious 17th century followers of Aristotle. Despite his groundbreaking work in the field of psychology he was basically forgotten to the history of medicine.

1777réf. 10110London: F. Vivares in great Newport Street 1777. Colour-printed mixed method engraving. Printed on laid paper. In excellent condition with the exception of being trimmed within the platemark. Small tear in lower left corner and another small tear on bottom margin. Image size: 10 9/16 x 8 1/4 inches. A lovely impression of this famous print by Louis-Marin Bonnet one of the most celebrated masters of French colour-printing. The son of a Parisian stocking manufacturer Louis-Marin Bonnet 1736-1793 trained with the engravers Louis-Claude LeGrand and Jean-Charles François the latter the inventor of the chalk-manner technique of printmaking. Throughout his career Bonnet developed Francois's printing technique producing some of the most beautiful prints of the period. Bonnet's chalk-manner prints became immensely popular with collectors seeking images that imitated the subtle effects of drawing but he also experimented with various forms of colour printing as seen in this charming print of a young lady playing the guitar. During the late 1770s and 1780s Bonnet's success as a color printmaker was unrivaled and hence he counted among his patrons the wealthiest Parisian collectors of the time. This spectacular print exemplifies the single plate colour printing technique developed in England but quickly adopted by French engravers. The effect is achieved by inking a single plate with several different colours by using a rag stump this process is known as a la poupée. These English colour prints became very popular in Paris and threatened to affect the market for French prints. In an effort to capitalize on this vogue for English prints a few clever French engravers printed their own colour prints with London addresses. This charming image is just such a print; Bonnet published it with F. Vivares's address in London although it was probably published in Paris. He also uses a different variation on his name and lists himself as L. Marin instead of Louis-Marin Bonnet. This is not only an exquisite image from one of the most renowned French engravers but a fascinating glimpse at the practices of the print market in France.
