In addition the author advocates raising livestock for manure to fertilize dry and sterile lands. In order to facilitate his plan he calls for the establishment of a national bureau of agriculture that would be responsible for record-keeping distributing produce throughout the country in times of famine and regional crises regulating foreign trade in agricultural products and maintaining fair prices.

1899ref. 842461899. Boston: Little Brown & Co. 1899. Boston: Little Brown & Co. 1899. Final Edition Revised Enlarged and Annotated Greenleaf Simon 1783-1853. Wigmore John Henry. Edward Avery Harriman Editors. A Treatise on the Law of Evidence Sixteenth edition. Boston: Little Brown and Company 1899. 3 volumes. Octavo 6" x 9". Publisher's tan buckram with red and black gilt lettering pieces. Light wear owner's signature on front pastedown of the first volume "Elias B. Hartle/ Hagerstown Md." stamps foot of spines and front free endpapers internally clean. A very good set. $750. Sixteenth and final edition revised enlarged and annotated and historically significant because it represents the transition from Greenleaf's seminal work which was the standard for American evidence law for half a century to the new era of evidence scholarship dominated by its editor John Henry Wigmore. Wigmore who would become one of the most influential legal scholars in American history edited the first volume of this edition just before publishing his own monumental work A Treatise on the Anglo-American System of Evidence in Trials at Common Law which began publication in 1904. Edward Avery Harriman edited volumes 2 and 3 of the edition further contributing to its status as a thoroughly revised and updated version of Greenleaf's work at the turn of the century. The 1899 edition marks a pivotal moment in the history of American legal literature on evidence where the established authority passed the torch to the scholar who would define the field for the next generation. The former owner of this set Elias B. Hartle graduated from law school in 1897 and was a prominent attorney in Hagerstown MD and established the firm of Hartle & Wolfinger.

Dedicated to Leonhard Euler 1707-1783. Modern half brown morocco marbled boards morocco corners raised bands gilt-stamped spine with ornaments and title within compartments original 18th century marbled endleaves preserved. Title page signed by J. G. Kohler; bookplate of Ing. Dr. Edmund Neusser. Lovely copy. First edition. Klugel based his writings on that of Leonhard Euler 1707-1783 to whom the book is dedicated dedicated and his famous work on optics. In his parts VII and VIII he deals with the telescope and especially the microscope. / Euler's own work on the theory of the achromatic microscope was written as early as 1762 and 1771 when he dealt with the subject more fully. In 1774 Euler's pupil and friend Nicolas Fuss wrote a little book on how to construct an achromatic microscope. Klugel translated that work in 1778 and then followed that with this more thorough treatment being his Analytische Dioptrik also 1778. Due to the crudeness of design of the objective made in 1791by Francois Beeldsnyder 1755-1808 a colonel in the Amsterdam cavalry Mayall asserts and others uphold this view that he feels the discussion of the dates of origin or this instrument are at best unclear. – Mayall.
