1656Acquaforte, 1656 circa, con coloritura coeva dei contorni, in buone condizioni.Esemplare del secondo stato di due, con l’imprint di Jacques Lagniet e la data del 1661.La mappa proviene dal rarissimo foglio intitolato “L’Europe par P. Du Val Geographe du Roy”, dal quale è stato ritagliato all’epoca - come anche certificato dalle antiche iscrizioni a inchiostro su alcune delle mappe - venendo applicato su un supporto di carta contemporanea, a formare un piccolo atlante in-sedicesimo oblungo.Non abbiamo trovato bibliografia su questo foglio d’Europa, pertanto ci riferiamo alla scarsa letteratura sui fogli che rappresentano gli altri continenti.Secondo Philip Burden (che descrive la carta dell’America), lo scopo di questa rara curiosità cartografica di Pierre Duval non è noto. Fa parte di un insieme di quattro tavole raffiguranti i continenti. Può essere datato, per motivi cartografici, all’incirca nel 1656. Burden descrive un solo esemplare di primo stato e due prove con l’indirizzo di Lagniet.La mappa dell'Asia è stata recentemente descritta da Jason Hubbard, che elenca un solo esemplare di primo stato e 5 di secondo (cfr. Japoniae Insulae, The Mapping of Japan, p. 201).Richard Betz descrive 3 stati del foglio dell’Africa: senza la data, con l’imprint di Jacques Lagniet e la data del 1661, e con tracce di cancellazione sui suoi indirizzi (cfr Betz, The Mapping of Africa, pp. 294, 295). Elenca un solo esemplare di primo stato, tre copie di quello stampato da Lagniet e tre del foglio con l’indirizzo abraso. Di un secondo stato del foglio del continente europeo, siamo stati di censire solo l’esemplare conservato presso la Bibliotheque National de France, unica istituzione che vanta nella propria raccolta tutti e quattro i fogli dei continenti di Pierre Duval e Jacques Lagniet. Etching, circa 1656, with contemporary outline colour, good condition.Example of the second state, with the imprint of Jacques Lagniet and the date 1661.The map comes from the very rare sheet entitled “L’Europe Par le Sieur Du Val Geographe Ord. du Roy”, from which it was cut at the time and laid down on contemporary laid paper support, to form a small atlas, as certified by the ancient ink inscriptions on some of the maps.We have not found bibliography on this sheet of Europe, we therefore refer to the scarce literature on the sheets representing the other continents.According with Philip Burden “The purpose of this rare curiosity by Pierre Duval is not known. It forms part of a set of the four known continents. It can be dated to apporximately 1656 […] The second state bears the additional imprint of Jacques Lagniet and the date 1661” (cf. Burden, The Mapping of North America, pp. 417-418, n. 322). The map of Asia is recently described by Jason Hubbard: “This miniature map of Japan is on a sheet of maps of Asia. Besides the map of the Asian continent there are 17 detailed maps including Turkey, the Holy Land, Georgia and Arabia. […] This map was issued as a loose sheet of Asia maps; similar maps are known for Africa, America and Europe” (cf. Japoniae Insulae, The Mapping of Japan, p. 201).Richard Betz describes 3 states of the broadsheet of Africa: without the date, with the imprint of Jacques Lagniet and the date 1661, and with traces of erasure on his addres (cf. Betz, The Mapping of Africa, pp. 294, 295). According Hubbard the third state of the map of Asia is only an assumption.Of a second state of the broadsheet of Europe, we are able to find only the example at the Bibliotheque National de France. cf. J. Hubbard, Japoniae Insulae. The Mapping of Japan, pp. 199-201, n. 28; cf. Burden, The Mapping of America, n. 322, II/II; cf. Pastoureau (1984) p. 136; cf. Betz, The Mapping of Africa, pp. 294, 295, n. 85.

First edition, 12mo (160 x 95 mm), iv, [5]-154, [2]pp., cont. calf, a little rubbed, joints starting, red morocco spine lettering piece. John Gough (1720?1791) arithmetician, born and educated at Kendal, Westmorland. After several years spent as a teacher in Pickwick in Wiltshire, he arrived in Ireland in 1750 to take charge of the school at Cork established by his only brother, James Gough (1712?1780). In 1752 he accepted the mastership of the prestigious Friends' school at Dublin, which he held until 1774, and after moved to a similar appointment at Lisburn. He was the author of the Rise and Progress of the People called Quakers, as well as numerous school text books. The verso of the title carries and advert for the "Boarding School at Prospect Hill, near Lisburn." Including a chapter with "Several short stories relative to the Treatment of the Indians in America and the Slave Trade." ESTC locates just the British Library and Trinity College copies; The National Library of Ireland also hold a copy.

Only the first part, which included evidence of his opposition to the new Bank of England, was published. In 1702 he issued "New Essays on Trade", and the anonymous book "A Discourse Concerning Ireland and the Different Interests Thereof" (1698), relating to the woollen issue, has also been ascribed to him. He died at some point between March 1704 and February 1705. Kress, 2335; Goldsmith, 3857; Hanson, 130.

Prima edizione di questa importante monografia dedicata all'economia, politica ed agricoltura opera del celebre scrittore, saggista e studioso originario di Bradfield Combust, Arthur Young (1741-1820). L'opera qui presentata, celebre per i suoi numerosi dati statistici sulla vita inglese, irlandese e francese della metà dell'ottocento, è così suddivisa:I. Voyages au sud de l'Angleterre et au pays de Galles, le Voyage à Shopshire, le voyage dans les comtés de Kent et d'Essex ; II et III. Le voyage dans le nord de l'Angleterre ; IV à VI. Le Voyage à l'est de l'Angleterre ; VII-VIII. Le Voyage en Irlande ; IX-X. Lettres d'un Fermier ; XI. Le Guide du Fermier ; XII-XIII. Expériences d'agriculture ; XIV à XVI. Annales d'Agriculture ; XVII. Voyage en France (la partie qui concerne l'agriculture) ; XVIII. Arithmétique politique. Arthur era il secondo figlio del rettore di Bradfield, nel Suffolk. Dopo avere studiato alla scuola di Lavenham, il giovane Arthur entrò nel 1758 in una azienda mercantile a Lynn, ma senza che ciò destasse in lui interesse nel commercio. All'età di diciassette anni, pubblicò un opuscolo sulla guerra in America del Nord e, nel 1761, trasferitosi a Londra, iniziò a collaborare con un periodico, intitolato Il Museo Universale. Arthur Young scrisse quattro romanzi e le Riflessioni sulla situazione attuale nel paese ed all'estero, uscito nel 1759. Dopo la morte del padre, avvenuta lo stesso anno, fu incaricato di curare le proprietà di famiglia a Bradfield, ma la proprietà era piccola e gravata dai debiti. Tra il 1763 e il 1766, si dedicò alla conduzione agricola di questa proprietà. Nel 1765 sposò la signorina Allen, ma l'unione non fu felice. Nel 1767, assunse la direzione di un podere nell'Essex, in cui si impegnò in vari esperimenti, descrivendone i risultati in un corso di agricoltura sperimentale (1770). Benché gli esperimenti di Young siano stati, generalmente, infruttuosi, egli poté acquisire una conoscenza solida dell'agricoltura. L'attività come scrittore di Young è legata soprattutto alle relazioni dei suoi viaggi-inchiesta. Aveva cominciato una serie di viaggi attraverso l'Inghilterra ed il Galles ed ha scritto un resoconto delle sue osservazioni in libri che sono apparsi dal 1768 al 1770: un Viaggio di sei settimane attraverso le contee del sud dell'Inghilterra e del Galles; un Viaggio di sei mesi con il nord dell'Inghilterra ed un Viaggio di un coltivatore nell'est dell'Inghilterra. In questi libri sono contenute le uniche informazioni esistenti riguardanti l'affitto, i prodotti agricoli dell'Inghilterra effettuata sulla base di un esame reale. Sono stati accolti in molto favorevole, e sono stati tradotti in molte lingue già entro 1792. In tutto, Young ha prodotto 25 libri ed opuscoli sull'agricoltura e 15 libri su economia politica, oltre a molti articoli. Era famoso per le opinioni che ha espresso, come apprendista agricolo, l'economista politico e l'osservatore sociale. Nel 1768 ha pubblicato le Lettere del coltivatore alla gente dell'Inghilterra, nel 1771 il Calendario del coltivatore, che ha avuto molte riedizioni e nel 1774 la sua Aritmetica politica, che è stata tradotta in molte lingue. Ha fatto un giro dell'Irlanda nel 1776, pubblicando il suo Viaggio in Irlanda nel 1780. Nel 1784 ha cominciato la pubblicazione degli Annali dell'agricoltura, che è stata continuata per 45 volumi: tra i contributori c'era anche il re George III,che scriveva con lo pseudonimo di Ralph Robinson. Il primo viaggio di Young in Francia ha avuto luogo nel 1787. Viaggiando dappertutto quel paese alla vigilia e all'inizio della rivoluzione francese, ha descritto lo stato della gente ed il comportamento in quella congiuntura critica. Il viaggio in Francia è stato descritto in due volumi nel 1792. Al suo ritorno in patria è stato nominato segretario del Ministero dell'agricoltura 1793, appena formato sotto la presidenza di sir John Sinclair. In questa funzione ha dato il maggior contributo alla raccolta e alla preparazione delle indagini agricole delle contee inglesi. La sua vista, tuttavia, si indebolì e nel 1811 ha avuto una operazione per la cataratta, che si dimostrò infruttuosa. Alla sua morte, ha lasciato un'autobiografia rimasta manoscritto, che è stata poi pubblicata nel 1898 dalla sig.na M. Betham-Edwards ed è la fonte principale per la sua vita. Inoltre ha lasciato i materiali per un importante lavoro sugli elementi e sulla pratica dell'agricoltura. Esemplare completo ed ancora a fogli chiusi.

The Carlines were a well-known family of artists: George Carline 1855-1920 was a successful painter of landscapes and portraits while his son Richard Carline 1896-1980 was likewise a landscape artist - particularly known for his views from the air as a war artist during WWI - as well as his work as a convener and organiser across the art world. John Ireland c. 1742–1808 biographer. The son of a farmer he trained as a watchmaker and later established himself as a dealer in prints and writer for newspapers becoming a fixture in London literary and artistic circles and a friend of artists including Thomas Gainsborough and John Hamilton Mortimer: the frontis of vol. I is engraved after Mortimer's portrait of Ireland. Ireland was an inveterate collector and preserver of prints and drawings and it was this instinct that made him the ideal presenter of Hogarth's engravings in Hogarth Illustrated which presents Hogarth's plates - the rights to which had been transferred from Mary Lewis executrix of Hogarth's widow's will to the publisher Boydell - together with Ireland's commentary. Ireland notes in his preface that 'every plate has been carefully cleaned -and the rolling-presses now in use being on an improved principle the paper superior and the art of printing better understood impressions are more clearly and accurately taken off than they have been at any preceding period' p. cxv. Ireland's attention to detail extends to the colour of paper used - as a note in vol. III specifies 'As this print to heighten the burlesque was almost invariably impressed on blue paper I have stamped the annexed copy on the same colour' p. 18. Ireland's Supplement to Hogarth Illustrated vol. III an account of the artist 'based on Hogarth's manuscripts and autobiographical notes' ODNB was for many years the standard biography.
