1841ref. 24093Northampton County: Kleckner Rolf und Williams 1841. Second Printing. Full contemporary leather with a mounted label. Good; binding somewhat "skinned" on the front board; joints wearing. 12mo 839 1 - blank pp. 38 inserted woodblock plates. A massive compendium in three parts devoted to the horse its ailments and cures. The text according to the title appears to contain remedies that have been added by Winter. There is a question as to the number of plates. Tucher #2201 states 39 but OCLC lists anywhere between 16 and 41. The book has the appearance of being carelessly made up; the plates were separately printed on inferior paper and are generic rather than directly relevant to the text there are a number of repeats. They apparently were added to enhance the appeal of the book at the point of sale and therefore do not form part of the collation. Unusual but aimed at profit not information. Scarce. Absent from American Imprints. Kleckner, Rolf und Williams hardcover books

First edition Bigmore and Wyman p.228. Minor soiling to the text block else a fine copy. In this volume Fournier sets out to prove that Gutenberg was not the inventor of the printing press by examining the history of printing. He believes that the technology Gutenberg made popular existed long before the German printer's work. "Peter Simon Fournier a French engraver and letter-founder was born at Paris 1712 and died 1768. He studied under Colson painter of the Academy of Saint Luc and devoted himself first to the art of wood-engraving; he afterwards as an engraver on steel rendered himself famous in all countries. In some of his works he seeks to prove that Gutenberg is not the inventor of printing and maintains that long before Gutenberg engraving on wood had been employed for printing images and inscriptions; that during his residence in Strasburg Gutenberg attempted the application of this art to the printing of books and that on his return to Mayence he first printed the Donatus and the Catholicon of Johannes de Janua with engraved and solid blocks. Fournier's ingenious theories were ably refuted by Baron Heinecken in his "Idée Générale d'une Collection complette d'Estamples" Leipsic: 1771" Bigmore & Wyman p 229. J. Barbou unknown books
1826ref. 253Halle: Journal für Chemie und Physik 1826. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Good. FIRST EDITION of the experimental proof of Ohm's law "the fundamental law of electric circuits" Dibner 63. Ohm "made a study of the laws of galvanic currents and while investigating the relative conductivity of metals finally discovered the relation known as 'Ohm's law' which underlies all electrical theory and measurement. The experimental proof of this law was first published in a paper in Schweigger's Journal fur Chemie und Physik vol. xlvi. 1826 under the title of Bestimmung des Gesetzes nach welchem Metalle die Contactelektricität leiten" Peck and Colby The New International Encyclopedia. "The following year Ohm published a book entitled Die Galvanische Kette mathematisch bearbeitet Berlin 1827. It contained a theoretic deduction of Ohm's law and became far more widely known than his article of 1826 giving the experimental deduction. In fact his experimental paper was so little known that the impression long prevailed and still exists that he based his law on theory and never established it empirically. This misapprehension accounts perhaps for the unfavourable reception of Ohm's conclusions" Cajori A History of Physics. In: Journal für Chemie und Physik. Hrsg. v. J. S. C. Schweigger u. W.

2022ref. 2352204London: Everyman Chess / Gloucester Publishers 2022. First Edition. Trade Paperback. Fine. 6x0x9. An exceptional copy. Binding tight and square pages clean bright and unmarked. 2022 Trade Paperback. 336 pp. The Black Lion is a thoroughly modern counterattacking system that is a nightmare to face. This wild and aggressive line attempts to take away White's initiative from a very early stage and is guaranteed to throw your opponents off balance. The Black Lion is essentially a contemporary and aggressive interpretation of the Philidor Defence 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 d6. The Black Lion starts with a slightly different move order 1 e4 d6 2 d4 Nf6 3 Nc3 and now the lion family splits into two different animals: the risky lion 3.Nbd7 or the tame lion 3.e5. Both treatments are thoroughly investigated in this book. Simon Williams the Ginger GM is the ideal guide to explain how to whip up an extremely dangerous attack using either treatment. Williams is well known for his swashbuckling attacking play and the Black Lion suits his style perfectly. His commentary and annotations are always instructive and entertaining.
