1836réf. 77889New York: D. Appleton & Co 1836. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. The philosopher and literary author Isaac Taylor 1787–1865 published this book anonymously in 1836. The work is a development of two earlier works: Saturday Evening 1832 and Natural History of Enthusiasm 1829 all three attempts to provide a philosophy to deal with the major problems and spiritual questions of the day. The popularity of Physical Theory led to Taylor relinquishing his previous anonymity. The work is a religious and philosophically speculative exploration of the possible paths of knowledge to information regarding the future existence of human beings. Taylor believed that knowledge of the human physical constitution could be used to conjecture information about the modes of human eternal life and eternity's scheme of moral duties. The work was very popular among contemporaries and offers today an important insight into Victorian intellectual life" Cambridge University Press. Small octavo: 278 pp. In the publisher's dark brown vertical fine-ribbed cloth binding with a ribbon-embossed floral paisley pattern blind-stamped concentric ruled frame and a gilt-stamped ornamental compartment with titling. Period pencil inscription and signature to the front endpaper with some light foxing along the edges. Minor bumping to the corners and tips; else very good or better. Provenance: from the Publishers' Bookbindings collection of Ellen K. Morris and Edward S. Levin. D. Appleton & Co hardcover

1955réf. 47136Japan: n.p. 1955. Very good plus overall. Chronological and beautifully unified photo album detailing the construction and interior design of the now-lost Soviet embassy in Tokyo. Built during the tenure of Alexander Antonovich Troyanovsky as head of mission in Japan the new embassy was designed to be earthquake-resistant its concrete foundation set on a site on Mamiana Hill in the center of Tokyo. This album offers a look at the technicalities of building a new concrete structure during a period in Japanese history when heavy machinery was sometimes operated by men wearing hanten coats and pith helmets. The 24 larger format photos show interior 16 and exterior 7 views of the building as it was near or at completion as well as an architectural model of the embassy. The smaller format photos that introduce the album depict the earlier stages of construction including laying the foundation building the main structure and laying roof tiles. The clean lines and open spaces of the new embassy combine pre-Stalinist Soviet architecture with Art Deco and Japanese architectural leitmotifs reminiscent of and likely influenced by the Japanese work of Frank Lloyd Wright. Isaac Chertok 1889-1964 chief builder and architect for the embassy is visible in several photographs supervising and observing construction. Chertok had worked as chief builder for the Ministry of Trade in Moscow before joining the embassy staff in Tokyo in the late 1920s. When a visiting Soviet official warned him that he was to be arrested and sent to Gulag as a Japanese spy should he return home to the Soviet Union he fled to Palestine and subsequently emigrated to the United States. Also present here is a smaller album of and other assorted personal documents from Chertok's time in Japan as well as his later life. Chertok's Soviet Embassy was largely destroyed during American air raids the spring of 1945 a remaining portion was demolished after the Japanese surrender. An important record of a lost architectural landmark the building's ambitious ultramodern design reflecting the political optimism of the early years of the Soviet and Showa eras. 2.5'' x 2.25'' to 8.5'' x 11'' loose photographs and portfolios; 6.25'' x 8'' one album; 11'' x 13'' another album.

Contemporary mottled calf raised bands gilt-stamped spines maroon & green spine labels; occasional browning. Ownership signature "Nolland avocat"auvcat. An excellent set. Very good . Second Jesuit edition emended and corrected based on the text of the third London edition of the Principia. This version is valued for its excellent annotations and copious commentary which is nearly the same length as the Principia itself. It contains Newton's Dedication to the Royal Society; Prefaces to the first second and third editions and Roger Cotes's Preface. In addition the Jesuits' edition of the Principia is prized for the inclusion of the important treatises on the theory of the tides: Daniel Bernoulli's Traite sur le Flux et Reflux de la Mer Colin MacLaurin's De Causa Physica Fluxus et Refluxus Maris and Leonardo Euler's Inquisitio Physica in causam Fluxus ac Refluxus Maris. These three works gained the prize given by the Royal Academy of Sciences in 1724 for resolving tidal problems relating to the theory of gravity. They represent the most significant discovery concerning tidal mechanics between the publication of the Principia and the discoveries of Laplace. REFERENCES: Babson 31; Gray 14; Wallis 14.
