réf. 125591London Association of Scientific Workers July 1952. . 29-page mimeographed document string bound 25 x 20 cm; short pencilled note to leaf M.4 a little spotting primarily to the early and late leaves some creasing upper leaves torn through one of the punch holes very good condition. A rare mimeographed report on the effects of nuclear weapons produced by the Association of Scientific Workers a British trade union for members 'who have to speak write about or in any way concern themselves with the subject'. According to the introduction the union aimed to publish three volumes on nuclear issues the first on scientific and industrial concerns the second on military uses and the third on international control of weapons and substances but 'to date only vol. II is completed'. The contents provide detailed information about the different types of weapons their composition uses and effects and mitigation and civil defence strategies. Included are thermonuclear devices less than a year after the first example was detonated in Operation Greenhouse and what are now known as 'dirty bombs' weapons that are not fissile but can spread radioactive substances. It is likely that the Australian nuclear physicist and Manhattan project veteran Eric Burhop 1911-1980 was involved in the production of this document. Burhop was born and educated in Australia and completed his graduate training at Cambridge. After the war he 'took a teaching position at University College London. Since his days at Cambridge his politics had been somewhat radical. Burhop was also one of the many Manhattan Project veterans who became troubled by the proliferation of increasingly powerful nuclear weapons. He became the Chairman of the Atomic Science Committee of the Association of Scientific Workers in an effort to speak out in favor of global disarmament after the war' Atomic Heritage Foundation biography.

Contemporary half calf over marbled boards; VII 3 III 1 94 2 IV 79 5 III 1 22 pp. including numerous folding leaves containing charts and tables pagination of copies in Russian libraries usually given as 224 pp. which corresponds to our copy. Pictorial bookplate with illegible pencil name to front pastedown last part of the name: Rostovtsev; traces of old paper cover to corners of pastedowns and flyleaves; old Soviet bookstore stamp to rear pastedown; spine somewhat worn and discolored with fraying to lower spine; internally about very good save the occasional foxing. The introductory excerpt taken from an official protocol suggests that this volume of bylaws was issued in response to significantly changes at the printing shop of the Imperial Academy of Sciences which was originally founded in 1729. An increasingly complex infrastructure faster presses and greater demand required careful training of new employees and greater standardization of processes. By 1841 the Academy was able to print books and periodicals in 120 languages while also issuing various internal bulletins and publications. The year 1841 also saw the transformation of the Russian Academy into the Imperial Academy of Sciences further necessitating greater codification. The first section contains the printing shop's statutes describing its tasks main tools and methods duties of employees rules for keeping accounts dispensing materials security measures the processing of printing orders and proper storage of type among many others. Supplements include charts with information such as a personnel directory ranks and dresscode for workers as well as detailed prices for typesetting and printing orders. This is followed by a separate section of bylaws for the Foundry itself followed by charts containing information such as the required number of type characters for Russian French and German sorted by letter number and weight. Further included are various blank forms for use in keeping accounts personnel records tracking orders and creating reports. A fine-grained glimpse into the workings of an important Russian publisher and foundry in the first half of the nineteenth century as well as a window into bureaucratic and administrative habits at the time. Among the works published by the printing house of the Academy were such milestones in Russian scholarship as Mikhail Lomonosov's "Rossiiskaia grammatika" 1755 Aleksandr Sumarokov's "Trudoliubivaia pchela" the "Sankt-Peterburgskie vedomosti" and various dictionaries and scientific journals. Specimens of available typefaces were published several times in the second half of the nineteenth century such as in 1765 1870 and 1874. Adariukov also lists a specimen issued in 1841 consisting of 43 pp. He refers to all typography-related publications by the Academy as being of the greatest rarity. No copies traced at past auctions either in the West or in Russia. As of September 2025 no copies located via KVK OCLC. unknown

Paris: Par La Compagnie des Libraires 1733-1734. Part I: 231pp.; Part II: 294pp.; Part III: 215pp. 97 engraved folding plates depicting animals and skeletal diagrams. Engraved portrait frontispiece of Claude Perrault in first volume. Contemporary French calf spines gilt edges red; some occasional browning; repairs to joints some rubbing. Unidentified armorial bookplate to front pastedown beneath monogrammed bookplate D.P. with chipmunk and two mice. A later reduced format edition of Perraults Memoires of 1671-1676 Perraults study of this nature was first published in 1669 with the results of investigations of five animals and later expanded with studies of over forty animals. Prior to 1670 most descriptions of animals paid little attention to their internal structure and there were very few images in natural history encyclopedias that depicted skeletons or muscles. That changed with the establishment of the Académie des Sciences in Paris in 1666 by Jean-Baptiste Colbert with the approval of King Louis XIV. The Academy functioned with neither statutes nor regulations until 1699. At that time the Academy used the term mathématique to encompass the fields that are now called astronomy mathematics and physics and the term physique to encompass the fields that are now called anatomy botany zoology and chemistry. In January 1699 Louis reorganized the Academy giving it first regulations. The effect was to give the King more control over their activities in exchange for becoming an official institution under his protection with the new name Académie Royale des Sciences. One of the original academicians the physician Claude Perrault organized regular sessions at which participants could dissect deceased animals from Louis XIVs royal menagerie and record all they observed. Lions chameleons bears gazelles wolves ostriches crocodiles monkeys eagles tigers porcupines and salamanders among some were all laid open by the academics scalpels. These superb folding plates record in great detail the pioneering work at the Academy. These three volumes in three parts focus on the transformative and foundational years of the French Royal Academy of Sciences and Claude Perraults efforts which had made comparative anatomy a vital tool for the classifying naturalist.
