1681réf. 3309Amsterdam 1681. 4to. Hieronymus Sweerts Modern half green morocco marbled paper sides red morocco spine label lettered in gold with gold decorations in 5 compartments. With a finely engraved allegorical frontispiece a full-page engraved portrait of Hendrik Casimier of Nassau and 24 finely engraved plates with flowering plants in the Herba and 8 finely engraved plates with various aloës in the Aloidarium. Further with several woodcut decorated initials and tailpieces. 2 works in 1 volume. 28 231 1 blank; 33 19 pp. Rare first edition of a scholarly work on British herbs including those used to prevent or treat scurvy along with a treatise on various species of the American aloë. Although the Aloidarium title-page is dated 1680 Sweerts must have planned from the beginning to include it in the more extensive Herba and completed it after most of the Herba was finished since its imprint gives nothing but the year and the index to both works begins on the verso of the last page of text in the Aloidarium. Abraham Munting 1626-1683 was born in Groningen in the northeastern part of the Netherlands. He was a physician and an internationally renowned botanist an academic professor and director of the Hortus Botanicus at Groningen. The work is beautifully illustrated with flowering plants sometimes in pots. Also interesting as a botanical Americanum.Foot margin of frontispiece repaired minor water stains plates slightly browned but still in good condition.l Bibl. Med.

1887réf. 4021887. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION FIRST BRITISH PRINTING of a work haled both as the greatest failed experiment of all time AND as 'one of the greatest achievements in physics of all time' Lightman 130. 'What Michelson and Morley did. was undermine a longstanding belief in something called the luminiferous ether; a stable invisible weightless frictionless. medium that was thought to permeate the universe. Conceived by Descartes embraced by Newton and venerated by nearly everyone ever since the ether held a position of absolute centrality in nineteenth-century physics as a way of explaining how light traveled across the emptiness of space Bryson 117. Prevailing theories held that ether formed an absolute reference with respect to which the rest of the universe was stationary and that ether was a medium for the propagation of light as water waves must have a medium to move across: water. Given the speed of light designing an experiment to detect the presence of ether and its drift or hypothetical motion relative to earth was challenging. To do so Michelson designed an interferometer -- essentially a massive stone block with mirrors and crisscrossing light beams -- capable of measuring the velocity of light with great precision. The device enabled Michelson and Morley to measure the speed of light in different directions enabling them in theory to measure the speed or drift of the ether relative to Earth thus establishing its existence. Michelson and Morley expected to see their light beams shifted by the swift motion of the earth in space thus giving measure to different speeds of light in each direction but "none was observed showing that the earth's motion did not affect the light's speed" Dibner 161. "The failure of this experiment was a serious blow to classical scientific theories because it cast doubts on the existence of the universal ether which had been a basic principle of for example the Newtonian theories of the universe" PMM 401. The result discredited the ether theories "and opened the door to "new standards of reference of time and space from geometry and cosmometry" ultimately leading to Einstein's 1905 proposal that the speed of light is a universal constant" Dibner; Lightman 130. The history of science records the 1887 ether-drift experiment of Albert Michelson and Edward Morley as the turning point at which the energetic "ether of space" was discarded by mainstream physics thereafter replaced with the postulate of "empty space." Michelson and Morley's work sounded the death knell of classical physics' beautifully simple belief in the idea of ether. CONDITION & DETAILS: London: Taylor & Francis. 8.5 x 5.5 inches; 213 x 138mm. Complete. viii 524 9 plates. Michelson & Morley paper: pp. 449-463. Ex-libris bearing a discreet stamp on the title page.

This is an exceptionally well-preserved copy of a work that was specially compiled printed and bound to honor the memory of both the author and the subject. Prominent Minneapolis attorney businessman and philanthropist Thomas Lowry 1843-1909 grew up in Illinois and Lincoln had assisted his father with several legal matters when he was practicing law. Young Lowry attended all of the Lincoln-Douglas debates and became a devoted admirer of the man who would go on to preserve the Union. After a successful career that included establishing the street car system in Minneapolis Lowry contracted tuberculosis and spent the last four years of his life as an invalid. With excess time on his hands he began writing down his memories of Lincoln in a "fragmentary manner" as Mrs. Lowry explains in the preface. After her husband's death Beatrice Goodrich Lowry 1854-1915 compiled these memories and some Lincoln letters in her husband's effects into the present volume which she had printed and bound to distribute to her husband's friends. Edmund Brooks a Minneapolis bookseller who specialized in fine bindings helped her to arrange for printing by the esteemed Chiswick Press and binding by the one of the most eminent English workshops of the day Sangorski & Sutcliffe. Francis Sangorski and George Sutcliffe met as boys attending Douglas Cockerell's bookbinding classes at the L. C. C. Central School. Cockerell was so impressed by their skill that he hired Sutcliffe as a finisher and Sangorski as a forwarder. In 1901 Francis and George went into business for themselves and before long they had become two of the most renowned English binders of the 20th century. Preserved over the years in its clamshell box our binding looks virtually the same as it did the day it left the bindery.

Tessereau assembled a collection of precious documents for the historian on the officers of the chancellery their functions and prerogatives on the various chancelleries in the kingdom. It is more a compilation and publication of documents than a historian's work but the work is no less important. Chez Pierre Emery hardcover
