Prechtl, Joh[ann] Jos[eph].MareMagnum

Anleitung zur zweckmäßigsten Einrichtung der Apparate zur Beleuchtung mit Steinkohlen-Gas. Vienna, Carl Gerold, 1817.

Large 8vo. XIV, 138 pp. With 2 folding lithographed plates. Contemporary marbled boards with giltstamped label to spine. First edition of the first German monograph on gas lighting; preceded only by Lampadius's translation of Accum's "Practical Treatise on Gaslight". J. J. Prechtl (1778-1854) initiated the foundation of the Vienna Polytechnical Institute in 1815, the first educational institute of its kind in the German-speaking countries, and served as its first director. The institute became a decisive force in the industrialization of Austria. In the autumn of 1815, Prechtl and the engineering professor Johann Arzberger developed a lighting apparatus based on coal gas, thus becoming a pioneer of continental gas lighting. He introduced the system at his Polytechnical Institute in 1817. - The plates are lithographed by the trained engraver Ignaz Kühn, later to become director of the Vienna Lithographic Institute (cf. Schwarz, 43); in 1817, when Senefelder left Vienna, he became Friedrich Kunike's principal assistant (cf. Thieme/B. XXII, 58). He took his life in 1822. - One corner slightly bumped; otherwise a good, clean copy. Poggendorff II, 519. Feldhaus 357. Ferchl 423. Engelmann (Bibl. mech.-tech.) 291. Not in Winkler.

Froriep, Robert.MareMagnum

De funiculi umbilicalis defectu, commentatio academica. Berlin, Trowitzsch & Sohn, 1832.

8vo. 42 pp., final blank. With a lithographic plate. Contemporary wrappers. Very rare study of the defects of the umbilical cord, with a plate (showing embryos) lithographed after the author's own drawings. With this habilitation, Froriep (1804-61) gained a Professorship of Medicine in Berlin, but he had to forsake this career in 1845 when his father, himself once a great surgeon and obstetrician, fell ill and Robert had to take over the publishing house "Landes-Industrie-Comptoir" which Ludwig Friedrich v. Froriep - the son-in-law of and successor to the famous publisher Bertuch - had headed. A correspondent with Goethe, Robert Froriep also taught anatomic drawing at the Academy of Fine Arts. "Obgleich er in den von ihm besonders cultivirten Wissenschaften, der beschreibenden und pathologischen Anatomie, keine hervorragenden Entdeckungen gemacht hat, hat er durch seine zahlreichen Unternehmungen [...] die Wissenschaft wesentlich gefördert und namentlich zur Popularisierung von kostspieligen ausländischen Abbildungswerken, die ohne ihn daselbst nur wenig bekannt geworden wären, wesentlich beigetragen" (Hirsch II, 455). - Slight waterstaining near end (mainly affecting the plate's lower margin). Only three copies in the U.S. (Johns Hopkins-Welch Med. Library; Coll. of Physicians of PA; CRL Chicago). Hirsch II, 454. OCLC 258086847. Not in Kayser, Engelmann, Wellcome or Waller.

Seltene Ausgabe dieser Heidelberger mathematischen Abhandlung, erstmals im selben Jahr zu Heidelberg gedruckt und noch seltener als die Erstausgabe. - Der mährische Astronom Mayer (1719-83) trat 1745 ins Mannheimer Jesuitennoviziat ein. Er lehrte seit 1752 die Mathematik und Physik zu Heidelberg, wo er "a series of mathematical and physical works" (DSB) veröffentlichte. "Il entreprit un voyage scientifique à Paris, visita l'Allemagne avec Cassini, et, à la demande de Catherine, se rendit à Petersbourg pour observer le passage de Vénus. [...] Mayer était membre des sociétés savantes de Manheim, Munich, Londres, Philadelphie, Bologne et Göttingen" (de Backer/S.). "In 1762 the elector palatine, Karl Theodor, who was very interested in the arts and sciences, constructed an astronomical observatory for Mayer at Schwetzingen, his summer residence. In 1772-1774 a second and larger observatory was erected at Mannheim, then the capital of the electoral Palatinate. This observatory was well equipped for the time, with instruments from the best British workshops [...] Appointed court astronomer, Mayer was relieved of his duties as a theologian (the Jesuit order was dissolved by Pope Clement XIV in 1773, which made such a step easier)" (DSB IX, 231). - Einband mit unbedeutenden Wurmspuren, sonst sehr schönes Exemplar aus der Sárospataker Bibliothek des Kavalleriegenerals Ludwig Joseph Prinz zu Windischgrätz (1830-1904) mit seinem gest. heraldischen Exlibris am vorderen Innendeckel.
