ref. 005683Paris, Babuty, 1726. In-12, XIV-[8]-176-5p & 6 planches dépliantes. Edition originale et unique de ce petit ouvrage intéressant malgré une hypothèse bizarre (dixit Jérôme de La Lande, Traité du flux et du reflux de la mer, 1781), qu'Alexandre a emprunté à Jean-Baptiste Baliani : la Terre tournerait autour de la Lune en un mois. La Lande considère cette hypothèse frivole, comme d'autres, et il ne faut donc pas y prêter attention. Néanmoins, monsieur de Mairan a pris la peine de la réfuter. Toutefois, cet ouvrage a un réel intérêt scientifique puisque malgré l'hypothèse frivole, l'ouvrage obtint un prix de l'Académie de Bordeaux. L'ouvrage contient 6 planches dépliantes dont 2 ont des parties mobiles liées par un petit fil et une troisième planche est en deux parties. L'ouvrage est complet de toutes ses planches et parties mobiles. Alexandre (1653-1734) est aussi l'auteur d'un ouvrage estimé sur l'horlogerie. Reliure pleine basane de l'époque, dos à nerfs orné, pièce de titre maroquin. Epidermures, manques aux coiffes, pièce de titre moderne, gardes renouvelées, papier uniformément jauni avec petite mouillure marginale. Ouvrage rare, complet.

A locally printed manual for the Barbados House of Assembly with the ownership inscription of William Brandford Griffith then both a member of the Assembly and the island's auditor-general.

The rules numbered through 271 and accompanied by an extensive alphabetical index set out the conduct of the Assembly's public business. The index includes procedures for issuing election writs and returning the names of elected members to the governor and council together with the course to be followed when writs had not been executed.

A broadside announcing the candidates for the United States House of Representatives a list which includes Noah Webster. Webster received 212 votes in the preliminary election in May enough to get him a spot on the ballot but lost in the general election in a generally difficult time for Federalist politicians. Webster experienced a religious conversion during this period after being a not particularly devout Congregationalist earlier in his life and embraced the church completely perhaps due to the death of his infant son in 1806. Webster would run again for U.S. Representative in 1810 1812 and 1816 losing each time and eventually abandoned politics his last office held being in the Connecticut House of Representatives ending in 1807 shortly before his first campaign for national office. We find no record of this broadside in OCLC or other ephemera relating to Webster's political career in Connecticut in the trade. The collected acts from this session were published in octavo format but we find no other record of this broadside printing. Hudson and Goodwin unknown
