Description:
XII, 192 pp.Rare second edition of "the first general (as distinguished from hospital) 'pharmacopoeia' compiled by an American" (Cowen), first published at Paris in 1798. The first part of the book is a classification of diseases, and is taken word for word from the influential 1769 nosology by the Scottish physician William Cullen. The second part is a pharmacopoeia, divided into materia medica and composite medicines. The introduction notes that it is based on the author's notes made at the University of Edinburgh, the London pharmacopoeia and Joseph Townsend's The physicians' vade mecum (1794) (p. x). Between the two parts can be found a list translating the Latin names of the chemical preparations, "which not all readers will view as sufficiently legitimate" (p. 77) into the modern English and French nomenclature.William Tazewell (d. 1832) was an American physician who had studied in Edinburgh and in 1797-1800 was secretary to Elbridge Gerry in Paris. After returning to the United States, Tazewell…

Description:
A complete list of contents is available upon request.Wagenaar's highly influential and expertly illustrated history of the Low Countries, complete in 21 beautifully bound volumes with the arms of the city of Amersfoort on each board. Wagenaar wrote the first complete overview of the entire history of the Low Countries, from "the earliest times" up to 1751, two years after the first printing of the first volume appeared. His aim was to provide the general Dutch public with an impartial and objective general history of their "fatherland" to promote active and morally correct citizenship. It remained a leading work on Dutch national history to the end of the 19th century.The present set was bound by the so-called parrot bindery in Utrecht, perhaps initially ca. 1758, since volumes 1-18 (1752-1758) are uniform but volumes 19-21 (1758-1759) form a minor variant. It may have been commissioned by the Latin School in Amersfoort as a prize to award to a student. Volumes 1-4 appear in the rarer second edition…

Description:
We have not succeeded in identifying the artist of these beautiful drawings. We know no other drawing that is clearly from the same hand. Two artists are mentioned as possible candidates, Govert Flinck (Cleves 1615-1660 Amsterdam) and Gerbrand van den Eeckhout (1621 - Amsterdam - 1674). The present drawings are probably made around the middle of the 17th century in Holland. The composition is similar to some papers in florilegia, such as Theodor de Bry (1611/1612 to 1641 and later), but they never show so many species and the flowers on a sheet. This study could be a sketch for a painting, not necessarily a floral still life, possibly a landscape. In fine condition.l Cf. Bernt, Die niederländischen Maler und Zeichner des 17. Jahrhunderts, vol. 4, nr. 209 (München 1979); Schatborn, 'Een toeschrijving aan Govert Flinck', in: Bulletin van het Rijksmuseum 22 nr. 2/3 (1974), pp. 111-121.

Description:
[1], 104 engraved ll.Rare complete set of Stradanus's magnificent series of 104 large hunting prints, including falconry, fishing and even bee-keeping, engraved in the years 1578 to ca. 1596 by Philips Galle and others associated with him. It includes scenes of catching birds of prey and of hunting with them, not only hawks or falcons, but also owls. The other hunting prints show the hunting of elephants, various wild cats, wild boars, bears, crocodiles and other big game, apes (putting on boots!), smaller animals such as rabbits, badgers and porcupines, but also unicorns, fauns (playing pan-pipes!), giant snakes, dragons, sea monsters and other mythical creatures. Some scenes are certainly disturbing for anyone who cares about animals: one shows a live elephant with its trunk cut off. The Belgian Johannes Stradanus "was employed by Duke Cosimo de' Medici in Florence, who commissioned him to make a number of designs for tapestries representing fowling, fishing and hunting scenes, for the adornment of…

Description:
8 pp.First and only edition of a 1672 political pamphlet in the form of a spin-off from Henry Neville's very popular 1668 story of a voyage to the imaginary utopian/dystopian Isle of Pines. The present story is written as a conversation between three militia men on watch discussing the turbulent politics of 1672. One tells of his (fictitious) voyage and several years residence on a (fictitious) utopian island called Mallanbruino in the South Pacific. He says it is one degree south of the Isle of Pines. On Mallanbruino, the industrious people were oppressed by an emperor but rose up and defeated him with help from a prince, who also replaced the evil regents. They note the remarkable similarities to events in the Dutch Republic. The island then set up a new and fairer democratic representative political system, bringing peace and happiness to the island. The three men conclude that the Dutch Republic should introduce such a system.Some spots and a small restoration to the extremities of the title-page,…

Description:
[8], 174, [2] pp.First and only edition of the Dutch translation, after the second English edition of 1792, of a detailed account of the anatomy of the eye, the use of spectacles and the improvement of vision by their use. The first edition of Adams's work had appeared in 1787 under the title An essay on vision, briefly explaining the fabric of the eye. George Adams (1750-1795), a famous London optician, served King George III as a mathematical instrument maker. He earned a worldwide reputation as a maker of spectacles and microscope lenses and wrote many elementary scientific works, which gave regular and systematic instruction in the most important branches of natural science with all its modern improvements.The translator Henricus Aeneae (1743-1810) was a teacher of maths and physics in Amsterdam and Pieter Nieuwland was one of his pupils. He was especially interested in optics, perspective and construction of optical instruments.Wrappers somewhat worn, especially on the spine. Otherwise in good…

[8], VIII, 126, [2 blank] pp.Second issue of the first edition of a rare manual on shipbuilding by Leendert van Zwijndregt, a member of a family of three generations of shipwrights working for the Rotterdam admiralty. It was written as a defence of the Dutch tradition of shipbuilding against the upcoming tendency to look to the French and English traditions. Added at the end is a short treatise on the construction of Dutch merchant ships by C. de Ruiter. Van Bruggen points out that Van Zwijndregt was one of the earliest to propose the new method of calculating a warship's length on the basis of the width of and space between the portholes (Maritime geschiedenis der Nederlanden, p. 45).Extremities slightly browned and some spots to the first and last few leaves, but otherwise in very good condition and wholly untrimmed, leaving all deckles intact.l Bruzelius, p. 50; STCN (9 copies); cf.

[4], 72 pp.First edition of a thorough text book on perspective, teaching in a clear and succinct way the basic theories as well as all possible practical use of the art of perspective in art, architecture, the theatre, etc. by Hendrik van Houten (fl. 1705). The manual is richly illustrated, giving numerous examples of perspective drawings for different purposes, for example the drawing of plane figures and the drawing of three-dimensional objects, but including hanging objects and objects that are or aren't parallel to the baseline. He also gives instructions on the best way to draw shadows created by sun- or candlelight. Van Houten also explains how to make a perspective drawing a gallery or something similar that is only viewed from below. He also gives very practical explanations of how to draw very specific objects, such as spiral stairs, mantelpieces and cross vaults. The book was intended for architects, draughtsmen and artists.

92 pp.Third edition of GoereeÂ’s revision of Ter BruggeÂ’s popular treatise on painting and colouring with watercolours. Most of the book is based on the treatise by the otherwise unknown Geerard ter Brugge or Gerard ter Brugghen (described as a an outstanding master of the colouristÂ’s sart) sometimes thought to be a pseudonym for Marcus Gheeraerts the elder or younger), originally published as Verlichtery kunst-boeck in 1616, which went through further editions in 1634 and 1667. The Middelburg publisher Willem Goeree revised and expanded Ter BruggeÂ’s treatise and published it under Ter BruggeÂ’s name in 1668, further revising it for his second edition, still under Ter BruggeÂ’s name in 1670 and again for the present third published by Van den Dalen in 1697. Goeree also integrated most of the contents into his own Het nieuw toneel der konsten (first edition 1679), published under the pseudonym Simon Witgeest.With the bookplate of antiquarian bookseller Simon Emmering (1914-1999) on the paste-down.…

[24], 203, [5] pp.Second and last issue of the rare first and only edition of a heraldic game for young noblemen to learn the heraldry, genealogy, geography and history of the main European kingdoms, duchies, counties, electorates and other states. This was considered very important, since many of these young men were to one day take part in political and governmental activities. The game is to be played with a pack of ordinary playing cards and a map of the world spread over the playing table. Each player takes a turn by randomly drawing a card and describing the genealogy, heraldry, geography and history of the region that the book associates with that card. One of the players serves as arbiter and when a player fails to give a correct and sufficient description, he must pay a fine. The book itself provides the information for describing the heraldry, genealogy, geography and history of the regions it associates with the cards. The preface presents not only the rules of the game, but also several…

Description:
A large engraved map of what is now North Holland, showing its situation largely as it was in 1575, but with some revisions made in 1608. It is the most detailed map to show this region before the major drainage projects that began early in the seventeenth century. At a scale of about 1:82,000, it covers all but the northernmost tip of North Holland, from De Zijp in the North to Leiden and Utrecht in the south, including Haarlem, Amsterdam and Edam. It shows not only canals, inland seas, cities and towns (most represented by their churches, though other buildings or fortifications are sometimes depicted), dozens of boats and ships in the water, dunes and other topographic features, but also roads and paths, not included in Van DeventerÂ’s 1542 map or the other major early maps. A compass appears in the sea (magnetic north above, with true north slightly to the left), and a small cartouche at the foot has a pair of compasses whose span indicates one mile.

Description:
[8] ll.Very rare complete and uncut copy of an expertly engraved pattern book for decorated firearms by the German engraver Petrus Schenk I (1660-1711), after the French designer of gun fittings and ornamental engraver Claude Simonin (ca. 1635-1721).During the seventeenth century, France had superseded Germany as the leading producer of both technically innovative and highly decorative firearms. King Louis XIII of France, who reigned from 1610 to 1643, was an avid collector of firearms and a patron of French gunsmiths. Official patronage continued to flourish throughout the reign of Louis XIV (reigned 1643-1715). In the course of the 17th-century, the art, culture and style of the French court gained popularity and spread to foreign courts.
