1707rif. SB-21560Leiden, Pierre Vander, 1707. Vollständiges Werk in 8 Bänden (Band V aus zwei Teilen bestehend). Etwas spätere braune Ganzlederbände mit goldgeprägten Rückentiteln auf rotem und schwarzem Rückenschild, reicher goldgeprägter Ornamentik und Kopffarbschnitt; Seiten- und Fußschnitt mit rötlicher Marmorierung. Die Bände wurden, augenscheinlich im früheren 19. Jahrhundert, umfassend restauriert und erhielten dabei neue Buchrücken. Diese Arbeit wurde excellent ausgeführt - die Naht zwischen Buchrücken und Deckelbezügen ist kaum zu sehen - und hat unter anderem den Vorteil, daß die Gelenke der Bände jetzt stabil und belastbar sind. Oeuvre complète 8 tomes (le tome V se compose de deux parties). Un peu plus tard, des volumes en cuir marron complet avec des titres de dos en relief doré sur une étiquette de dos rouge et noire, une riche ornementation en relief en or et une coupe de couleur de tête; côté et pied coupés avec marbrures rougeâtres. Les volumes ont été largement restaurés, apparemment au début du XIXe siècle, et ont reçu de nouveaux dos dans le processus. Ce travail a été réalisé avec brio - la couture entre le dos du livre et la couverture est à peine visible - et a l'avantage, entre autres, que les joints des volumes sont maintenant stables et résistants. Titelfortsetzung: .où sont exactement décrites les Antiquitez, les Provinces, les Villes, les Bourgs, les Montagnes, les Rivières, les Ports de Mer, les Bains, les Forteresses, Abbayes, Eglises, Académies, Collèges, Bibliothèques, Palais, les principales Maisons de Campagne & autres Edifices des Familles Illustres, avec leurs Armoiries, &c. La Religion, les mours des habitans, leurs jeux, leurs divertissemens, & généralement tout ce qu'il y a de plus considérable à remarquer. Ebenso umfangreiche wie thematisch breit gefächerte Beschreibung Großbritanniens und Irlands um 1700, die alle wesentlichen Aspekte einer Landeskunde einschließt, so unter anderem die geographische Beschaffenheit, die Beschreibung der Städte und Seehäfen, das Kultur- und Hochschulleben, den Einfluß der führenden Adelsfamilien sowie die Alltagssitten und religiösen Gebräuche der Bevölkerung, ferner die Beschreibung der wichtigsten Burgen, Schlösser und Kirchen. Das Werk umfaßt mehr als 1.500 Textseiten und enthält 251 (!) doppelseitige Kupferstich-Ansichten (außerhalb der Paginierung), darunter 9 Frontispizes (v. 10, Frontispiz des ersten Teils des Bandes V fehlend), 2 mehrfach ausfaltbare Kostümtafeln und mehrere Landkarten und Stadtpläne.

18551st edition. Later cloth, 4to. English with occasional Hebrew. The Jewish Chronicle, Founded in 1841, it is the oldest continuously published Jewish newspaper in the world. It was initially under the editorship of D. Meldola and M. Angel. On Oct 18, 1844, to the editorship of Joseph Mitchell, it took the title of "The Jewish Chronicle (New Series) and Working Man's Friend"; it appeared only fortnightly till July 9, 1847, when it became a weekly; from Aug. 18, 1854, it was edited by M. H. Bresslau, who changed the title to "The Jewish Chronicle and Hebrew Observer. " From Jan. 12, 1855, A. Benisch assumed the editorship, which he retained till April 2, 1869, when Michael Henry took charge of the paper until his death (JE, 1905) . Includes numerous ads and announcements from the period, indicating deaths, weddings, and celebrations of all kinds.

1852Third edition. Carefully revised, corrected, and improved. Original board with paper label on front, as issued, 8vo, 83 pages ; 22 cm. In English with Hebrew. Singerman 1263. Goldman (183), notes, Joshua Seixas, the son of Gershom Mendes Seixas (the minister of New York's Shearith Israel congregation), was born in New York in 1802. Little is known about his life. He taught in Shearith Israel's Hebrew school in the mid-1820s and he established the congregation's first choir. Seixas moved to Charlestown, MA, in the early 1830s and gave lessons in Hebrew. Among his pupils were Harvard students. Seixas began referring to himself as James while in Charlestown and it is assumed that he converted to Unitarian Christianity while there. Seixas then settled in Hudson, OH. He offered private Hebrew classes to students at Oberlin College, and later at Western Reserve University...He also taught groups of Mormons- the center of the movement at the time was in Kirtland, OH- and among his students were Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism, and Orson Hyde, another early leader of the movement. Seixas left Ohio in 1836 and he was living in Staten Island, NY, by 1838. It is not clear what his relationship to the Jewish community was in his later years. His death in 1874 is not mentioned in Shearith Israel's records, but the death of his wife is. (The two lived apart after retuning to New York.) Also, a few of his many children remained within the community; others did not. Seixas was in regular contact with Christian Hebraists throughout his life. He corresponded with Moses Stuart on personal and scholarly matters and he proofread the grammars published by Stuart and George Bush. Seixas himself authored grammars for Hebrew, Aramaic, Syriac and Arabic .An expanded second edition (119 pp.) was published in 1834 UA #590]; a third revised and corrected edition (83 pp.) was published in 1852 UA #1263]. Seixas's grammar was reviewed favorably in its time (Goldman, 'Joshua/James Seixas," 72), though Chomsky later criticized it (Chomsky [1958], 133-4). For detailed analysis of Seixas' relationship with the founders of the Mormon church, see Rick Grunder's 2015 essay "A Teacher for the Temple: The Infectious Exuberance of Joshua Seixas" (www.rickgrunder.com/seixas.pdf). Interesting assortment of period ownership inscriptions including Jackson Coffing; A.J. Sem, NY City Nov 21st 1853; and Geo Wilson Lemert (?), From his sister Josephine, Antioch Apr. 24th 1869.

At the end a short and easy method "d'extraire les vertus et facultez des medicaments purgatifs et de separer les formes des metaux et mineraux (to extract the virtues and facilitate purgative drugs and to separate the forms of metals and minerals). The author, Johannes Jacob Wecker was a Swiss physician and philosopher. He worked as a doctor from 1566 and wrote a number of works about medicine, some of which were in both French and Latin. Doubtless fleeing accusations of sorcery, Wecker moved to Basel after having published Les Secrets de Wecker. For a number of years, he worked as a professor of logic at the local university. He published Antidotarum generale, a work about alchemy. His work is known for the elaborate bibliography on chemistry-alchemy. He also reported the first known case of diphallia.

"Cet exercice auquel se livra Diderot sur un original anglais fut davantage une paraphrase qu'une traduction. C'est un travail fort important pour saisir l'évolution de sa pensée. Il s'agissait de 'An Inquiry concerning Virtue and Merit de Lord Shaftesbury' (...). Il y avait quelque danger à présenter au public français, un ouvrage qui affirmait aussi franchement l'existence d'une morale naturelle, indépendant des sanctions d'une religion ou d'une Eglise données" (Wilson, ‘Diderot’, p. 44). Sur cet ouvrage capital "pour saisir l'évolution de la pensée de Diderot", cf. A. Wilson, p. 43 sq. et Venturi, 'La jeunesse de Diderot', passim. (Adams, PY1. Cohen, 306.

With the woodcut English royal arms on the title-page. 8 pp. Extremely rare pamphlet with the text - in French - of the Anglo-Dutch defensive alliance of 3 March 1678. In May 1672 French forces had invaded the Dutch Republic and initially seemed to have achieved an overwhelming victory the so-called Rampjaar 1672. England supported France in what became the Second Anglo-Dutch maritime war 1672-1674. By late July 1672 however the Dutch position had stabilized thanks to the new Stadholder Willem III. Concern about French gains led to the August 1673 Treaty of the Hague between the Republic Brandenburg-Prussia the Emperor Leopold and King Charles II of Spain; in early 1674 England and the Dutch made peace in the Treaty of Westminster. In November 1677 Willem III married his cousin Mary niece of King Charles II of England. In the meantime peace talks had begun in 1676 in Nijmegen resulting in an Anglo-Dutch defensive alliance concluded on the 3rd of March 1678 almost a half year before the treaty was signed in August. But English troops arrived in significant numbers only in late May allowing King Louis XIV to improve his negotiating position by capturing Ghent on the same day the alliance was concluded on 3 March.Untrimmed and with bolts unopened.

1683Original Wraps. 8vo. [6], 37, [1] pages. 20 cm. First edition. Full title: The Protestant resolution of faith: being an answer to three questions: I. How far we must depend on the authority of the church for the true sense of Scripture? II. Whether a visible succession from Christ to this day makes a church, which has this succession an infallible interpreter of Scripture, and whether no church, which has not this succession, can teach the true sense of Scripture? III. Whether the Church of England can make out such a visible succession? . The protestant resolution of faith (1683) , maintained that since the age of the apostles the church has had no infallible guide but the scriptures. William Sherlock (c. 1641 June 1707) was a Church of England clergyman and religious controversialist. Sherlock was a leader among the brilliant group of London divines including Thomas Tenison, William Clagett, and Simon Patrick who carried on the literary defense of the Church of England against Catholicism from late in the reign of Charles II into that of James II. Sherlock's 'Protestant Resolution of Faith', first published in 1683, was republished in 1685, 1686, and 1687, at the height of the struggle under James. Subjects: Faith - Early works to 1800.

"À la faveur d'un quatrième séjour à Londres (mai-août 1839), Flora Tristan actualisa la vaste enquête sur l'Angleterre industrielle. Elle montrait l'Angleterre comme le laboratoire de la civilisation qui ne tarderait pas à gagner l'Europe; elle mettait en garde contre un modèle de développement où l'homme était sacrifié à la tyrannie du profit. Les 'Promenades dans Londres' approfondissaient sa vocation d'enquêtrice sociale" (S. Michaud, in Maitron cd-rom). Du point de vue de la composition et du style, certainement le meilleur des livres de Flora Tristan, où elle donne toute la mesure de son intelligence, de sa sensibilité et de sa lucidité politique. La parution de l'ouvrage en mai 1840 coïncida avec une crise économique majeure, une grève quasi-générale des corporations parisiennes et une structuration de l'organisation ouvrière à un niveau jamais encore atteint. "Les Promenades" obtinrent, dans ce contexte, un accueil élogieux de la presse républicaine et socialiste et un important retentissement populaire. "Au fond, à scruter de près les 'Promenades dans Londres', on peut dire que trois livres s'y trouvent superposés : une enquête de science sociale, une didactique révolutionnaire, un Evangile romantique" (François Bedarida). (J. Puech, 'Vie et oeuvre de F. Tristan', p. 489, n° 9. Maitron, Cd-rom). Quelques rousseurs éparses. Très bon exemplaire, très bien établi dans une reliure de maître.
