1988réf. 105790Canberra: Department of Aboriginal Affairs. 1988. Large colour folding map 79 x 88 cm in original printed illustrated wraps. Some wear to edges clean very good condition. "Over 92 million hectares or about 12 per cent of the land area of Australia is held by or on behalf of Aborigines. More than two-thirds of this land is freehold the remainder being reserve leasehold or mission land. The map shows all areas of 10 hectares or more - over 4000 parcels of land - and classifies them by size and type of tenure. Also shown are the 415 centres inhabited by 50 or more Aboriginal people." 2nd Edition. Department of Aboriginal Affairs paperback

1844réf. 55840Hartford CT: Belknap and Hamersley 1844. 8vo. 160; 112 pp. Numerous woodcut engraved diagrams figures. Contemporary full speckled calf speckled fore-edges tan & gilt morocco spine label minor shelfwear slight rubbing occasional light foxing still an excellent copy. Third edition revised & expanded of this popular American treatise on surveying published originally in 1804 would continue to be updated and revised for over half a century. An edition of Abel Flint’s work was one of the two consulted by Abraham Lincoln while he studied to become a surveyor as it emphasized higher math including logarithms plane geometry and trigonometry.

réf. 2805Manuscript 4to. 23.5 x 17.5 cm 2 ff. pencil sketch of arms Marlborough and blank 196 ff. and with 27 drawn folding plates many of which are colored. Bound in contemporary French calf spine gilt in six decorative compartments with title on letterpiece. Excellent with all plates drawn and many some colored in a very professional hand. Very attractive early 18th-century French illustrated manuscript of practical geometry in seven books including individual sections on longimetry planimetry and stereometry—the fundamentals of precision surveying and draftsmanship. The manuscript closely follows but is not identical to Jacques Ozanam's Géométrie Pratique du sr Boulenger Paris 1684 which itself was a revision of La Géométrie pratique Paris 1640 by the mathematician Jean Boulenger. Though the work was reprinted well into the 18th C the present volume seems to follow Ozanam's 1693 edition most closely. Ozanam's book however lacks the drawn and colored figures of the present volume many of which are quite elaborate. The facade of Notre Dame is shown in an exercise for calculating the height of a wall and a segment on proportion features detailed miniature maps of the Brittany coastline identifying towns such as St. Malo and Mont St. Michel. The manuscript exemplifies the early 18th C approach to applied trigonometry—a field that by the mid-17th C was starting to resemble an exact science. Book II defines the common functions sine cosine secant etc.; Book V treats longimetric puzzles such as determining the height of a mountain or a spire or measuring the length of bodies of water; the final two books treat planimetry and stereometry including applied trigonometry—calculating the volumes of real bodies i.e. barrels pipes etc. Those sections of the manuscript that do not appear in Géométrie Pratique—mainly a tract on logarithms and a discussion of surveying instruments—also fall within Ozanam's oeuvre as he published a monograph on compasses in 1673 and a book of logarithmic tables and trigonometric functions in 1685. Jacques Ozanam 1640-1717 was best known for his Récréations mathematiques Paris 1694 which "may be regarded as the forerunner of modern books on mathematical recreations." In addition to Boulenger's work he also revised that of Adriaan Vlacq 1600-1667 and the Jesuit mathematician Claude-François Milliet Dechalles. DSB.10 pp.263-265. [France, early 18th century]. books

1816réf. 5914Washington DC: William Davis 1816. First Edition. Contemporary half leather. Very good; backstrip powdering; overall toning. Chancery folio I - 8 pp. 2 folding charts; II Indians - 2 3 - 128 pp. 5 folding charts; III Hassler - 4 5 - 10 2 pp. 3 folding charts. The original report by Hassler of his 'buying' trip to Europe in 1811. Hassler was commissioned by Jefferson to undertake the first coast survey. To this end Congress appropriated $50000 for the purchase of instruments. Hassler travelled to Europe but arrived during the wars and was delayed for years. Upon his return this report was issued by the Treasury Dept. that detailed his expenditures for scientific instruments and books as well as chronometers. All the devices makers cost specifications etc. are listed in the report offered here. Hassler's account is bound up with two other Treasury Dept. reports of the same year - separately issued - that provide information on the expenses of the Indian Department and general and particular information on trade with the Indian nations.
