(mm. 348x216), importante legatura in mz. pelle settecentesca, dorso a cordoni (restaurato) con decorazioni e titolo oro, piatti in pelle di scrofa finemente decorata a secco su assi di legno smussate lungo i lati.

Il volume, di pp. (32), 1130, (2, bianche), (72, di Indice ed Errata), con marca tipografica al frontespizio, è ornato da pregevoli testatine, grandi iniziali figurate e finalini, inc. su legno; testo in latino, con i titoli dei vari capitoli anche in greco. Dedicata a Enrico III, re della Gallia e di Polonia, in questa importante opera “eiusdem Desiderij Iacotij Vandoperani Commentariorum ad idem opus, libri tredecim, tribus sectionibus distincti. In quibus symptomatum omnium, quae in aegris apparent, causa, vires & significationes demonstrantur". E’ una edizione che riveste un’importanza notevole nella storia della medicina e “tient un des premiers rangs parmi tous les commentaires qui ont été faits sur Hippocrate” (così Dictionnaire historique de la médecine ancienne et moderne”, III, p. 243); per la prima volta infatti è corredata del commento di Jacques Houllier, capofila dei cosiddetti “ippocratici parigini”, e curata da Didier Jacot, anch’egli medico. "Edizione originale". Cfr. Biographie Medicale,V, p. 295: "Cette édition a le mérite d'une savante critique du texte et elle est accompagnée d'excellentes remarques. C'est un ouvrage fort important" - Choix de Olschki,VII, p. 3027: "Jacques Houllier d'Estampes (latinizzato Hollerius), (mort 1562), celèbre medecin francais; importantes sont ses études sur les auteurs anciens de médecine". Ippocrate, grande medico greco (Coo 460 ca. a.C. - Larissa 377 ca. a.C.), pose le basi della medicina scientifica. Svolse la maggior parte della sua attività a Coo, dove già esisteva una scuola medica che ebbe da lui grandissima fama. Le opere e l’insegnamento suo portarono al superamento della medicina sacerdotale e magica e all’avvento di una scienza medica fondata sull’osservazione e sul ragionamento”. Cfr. Diz.

"Des maladies mentales" is the first modern text-book on psychiatry” - Wellcome,II, p. 531. Testo con fiorit. e lievi uniformi arross., tavole fresche e ben conservate.

"Prima edizione" dell’importante catalogo riguardante la celebre biblioteca del Cardinale Giuseppe Renato Imperiali (1651-1736). “Patrizio bibliofilo, nei primi anni del Settecento aveva acquisito un ruolo di primo piano nel mondo romano proprio grazie alla sua biblioteca, raccolta nel giro di pochi anni ma rapidamente affermatisi tra le maggiori a Roma. Nel 1711 quando il suo bibliotecario, Giusto Fontanini ne pubblicò il catalogo, la biblioteca Imperiali comprendeva più di 15.000 volumi con una prevalenza di testi di diritto, filosofia e letteratura, ordinati alfabeticamente per autore (nalla prima parte) e per argomento (nella seconda). La biblioteca comprendeva anche importanti opere di gastronomia in una sezione dedicata a "De Re Culinaria".

Cfr.

Cfr. Cicognara,634 che cita l'ediz. francese: "Opera assai ben concepita ed eseguita, con vastità di cognizioni in ognuno dei rami relativi all'Architettura.. è forse la più ampia che abbracci tutte le utili pratiche per l'arte edificatoria" - Brunet,IV,1373: "La première édition de cet ouvrage capital a été publiée à Paris de 1802 à 1817". Il VI volume (mm. 302x202), con legat. diversa, porta il titolo: "Opere", con note e giunte importantissime, Mantova, Fratelli Negretti, 1840, pp. 251.

1773ref. 4806Paris: Didot 1773. First Edition. Full contemporary calf. Very good bright; small early ownership stamp on title inoffensive. Large 4to xx 1 - 348 pp. 24 engraved folding plates. This work is a translation loosely based upon a report issued by the School of Mines in Freiburg in 1769. According to Monnet's statements in the introduction the book offered here is modelled on the Freiburg report and only includes material that he was able to confirm by visiting the sites mentioned. The book covers exploration for minerals development ventilation drainage there is a short note in the text concerning the use of a steam engine in Belgium to pump out water and the concentration of ores. Monnet eventually became France's first inspector of mines and appears to have been adept at maintaining his position through the tumultuous political changes in the country during the late 18th century. He was also identified as being a gifted chemist Macquer but did not leave his mark in that field. The associated field of mineralogy is where his presence was most recognized. He published widely and for a time was in the business of supplying collections of mineral samples accompanied by a printed catalogue the cost of these cabinet collections was 150 livres. A superb mining treatise beautifully illustrated with 24 engravings of machinery and plans that represent the latest in mining technology of the period.

1944From the personal library of prominent optical lens designer Professor Charles Gorrie Wynne, FRS, who had this large work bound into two black buckram volumes in 1953, per bookbinder's receipt laid-in. Bookplates affixed by Dr. Wynne's family inside each front board further evince this provenance. [3], 6 (errata), xvii, 213 + 188, iii, 38 (supp. 1), 7 (appendix I), 6 (appendix II), 22 (supp. 2), 8 (supp. 3), 9 (supp. 4) pp. "These notes cover a course in Optics given at Brown University in the summer of 1944." - from Acknowledgement. Supplementary note on Electron Optics provided by Mr. Blank. Three supplementary notes provided by Dr. Herzberger. "The author's idea of treating geometrical optics as a special limiting case of wave optics has never before been carried out in so much detail. His treatment of diffraction optics is an important step forward. Highly recommended as a source of valuable information. Herzberger's first supplement is probably the best succinct presentation of electronic optics so far published in any language." - Bull. Amer. Math. Soc., Vol 51, #11. Bindings intact. Light exterior wear. Glossy buckram finish has faded unevenly resulting in a moderately mottled finish. Bit of ink writing atop front free endpaper of each volume.

1913ref. 56323Detroit & New York: The American Light and Traction Company May 1913. 4to. 9.5 x 11 in. 140 pp unpaginated. With 55 linen-backed silver gelatin photographs sized 8 x 10 in. nearly all w/ identifying text w/in negative at lower fore-edge many w/ dittoed labels on versos photographer’s marks on versos and nearly all mounted on linen hinges at gutter margins; 1 cyanotype chart. Contemporary black cloth post-binder brass screw posts at gutter margin rear cover repaired wear & bumping to corners occasional fraying & wear to fore-edges of text leaves still a VG copy w/ nearly all photos having bright strong contrast. First edition of this exceedingly scarce product photo album touting the industries and products produced and powered by the American Light & Traction Co. utility consortium providing an essential visual survey of United States power use and applications prior to World War I. The striking photographs depict the often gritty working conditions the presence of women in some industries such as the chocolate dipping factory and the myriad of industrial processes in the opening decades of the 20th Century. These industries and machines powered by the AL&T Co. include asphalt melting ovens annealing furnaces barrel drying beer production commercial bakeries smelting of brass and aluminum candy furnaces china the testing of Lozier automobile engines and the operation of Nash and International Harvester gas engines. Of particular interest are the expansive sections on converting commercial kitchens in Milwaukee WI hotels and restaurants to run on gas ice machines in Cleveland rivet heating factories in Milwaukee and the massive tire and wheel factories in Milwaukee & Detroit. Founded originally in 1900 for consolidating many small utilities and power suppliers such as Detroit City Gas Co. Milwaukee Gas Light Co. Southern Light and Traction Co. Muskegon Traction & Lighting Co. and others the company quickly expanded gaining control over 40 gas producing plants electric light and streetcar companies as well as manufacturing plants. McMillin 1844-1922 was an Ohio financier and banker who controlled the company until his death which subsequently came under fire as a monopoly utility from such strident critics as Gifford Pinchot and in 1935 was broken up by the enactment of the Public Utility Holding Act eventually emerging as Michigan Consolidated Gas and eventually merged with DTE Energy. Benham 1883-1964 worked as a photographer before World War I with his own studio before becoming an inspector with the Lincoln Auto Co. and then reestablishing his commercial photography studio until his death. He is perhaps best rememebered for his photo taken in 1901 of Henry Ford’s only automobile race against Alexander Winton in 1901.
