        Notae in Pomponium Melam. M[anu]s[cri]ptum hollandicum a[nn]i 1709.

      [Netherlands, 1709].. Folio (212 x 325 mm). Latin ms. on paper, with Greek interspersions. 32-37 lines. 207 numbered pages, interleaved. Contemporary marbled half calf with giltstamped labels to gilt spine.. Commentary on Pomponius Mela's famous cosmography. "De chorographia" (also "De situ orbis") is considered the oldest Latin geographical work. The date and location of the manuscript's origin, not found in the text, are taken from the spine labels as quoted above, and are confirmed by the paleographical evidence (clearly a Northern continental hand of the late 17th or early 18th century). The ms. contains no corrections and thus is probably the fair copy from a rough draft. Although numerous similar commentaries were in print at the time (among them several by eminent Dutch scholars such as Isaac Vossius and Jacobus Gronovius), the text of the present notes does not agree with any known printed counterpart and would seem to constitute a unique, purely private enterprise - probably that of a Latin teacher, as Mela's text was popular at Latin schools throughout the early modern period. - Binding slightly rubbed; corners bumped. Paper evenly browned throughout. A well-preserved and well-legible late Baroque classical scholar's manuscript.

      Trajecti Ad Rhenum: apud Guilielmum vande Water, cic ic ccix [1709]. First Edition thus. Vellum. Fine. First Burmann Edition, complete in two volumes. 4to: [38],136,157-164,145-688; [4],368,[116]pp (pagination irregular, as with all copies of this edition, but text continuous and complete), with superb engravings, including one of gladiators. Full vellum, edges stained red, title page printed in red and black. Binding secure (small repair to spine base) and vellum milky white; pages clean, fresh and bright; engravings in deep, rich impressions. All in all, a very handsome copy. Dibdin, V. II, pp. 117-118. & & & One of the gems of Western literature in a landmark edition. The Satyricon is a Roman work of fiction, blending poetry and prose, that was widely read in the first centuries of the Common Era. The complete, original text no longer survives, but portions were preserved in monastic libraries and reconstructed after the Middle Ages&#151;this first Burmann edition is considered a pinnacle of Latin scholarship, "one of the best edited [such that] it is almost impossible to read Petronius in any other edition (Harwood, quoted in Dibdin)." The Satyricon&#39;s purported author, Petronius (Gaius Petronius Arbiter, ca. 27&#150;&#150;66), was a courtier during the reign of Nero, and the novel&#39;s surviving portions detail the misadventures of the narrator, Encolpius, a former gladiator, and his handsome lover, a 16-year-old boy named Giton. Pieter Burmann the elder (1688-1741) was a Dutch classical scholar renowned for his editions of classical authors. In this edition, he demonstrated that supplementary material added to the text in 1693 by François Nodot was in fact a forgery. His edition also contains detailed commentaries by Nicolas Heins and Guilielmus Goes, making it two books in one&#151;the first, the original Latin text, with extensive notes at the base of each page; the second, entitled "Jani Dousae praecidanea, D. Josephi Antonii Gonsalii de Salas, commenta, dissertationes et praefationes et indices," with its own title page, the scholarship of Heins and Goes.

Interior pages are age-toned and contain much uniform foxing. The plates are printed on better quality paper and are generally clean and bright. This is not an edition of Apuleius&#146;s famous &#147;Metamorphosis&#148; but an original work by the English critic, dramatist and satirist Charles Gildon, following the general outline of Apuleius. The name, Carlo Monte Socio, which appears on the title page, is a pseudonym. Gildon satirizes the libertine behavior and excesses of his day. The protagonist in this version of the tale is changed into a Bolognese lapdog instead of an ass. [See J.

        An Essay Towards a New Theory of Vision. The Second Edition

      Dublin: Printed by Aaron Rhames, for Jeremy Pepyat 1709 [i.e., 1710] Second edition of Berkeley's first major work, significantly revised. "The whole text (B1-Ccb) has been reset and changes have been made; the chief of these are modifications in sections VII and XII...and the addition of a long passage to section LXXIII...Berkeley also added an Appendix [pp. 191-8] intended to answer the objections of Dr. William King, Archbishop of Dublin. Berkeley told Percival in a letter dated 1 March 1709/10 that the first edition of the book was not released for publication until this second edition was ready, the publisher fearing he had not printed enough copies of the first..." (Keynes 2). Contemporary paneled calf. Joints cracked, but cords sound, binding extremities rubbed, intermittent old dampstaining at foremargin. Octavo. With the final blank. Diagrams in text. Contemporary armorial bookplate of the Castle Menzies Library, bookplate of Edward Neville da Costa Andrade (1887-1971), the English physicist and Fellow of the Royal Society. A good copy with an interesting provenance. The subject of A New Theory of Vision is announced by the author in his first sentence: 'My Design is to shew the manner, wherein we perceive by Sight the Distance, Magnitude, and Situation of Objects. Also to consider the Difference there is betwixt the Ideas of Sight and Touch, and whether there be any Idea common to both Senses.' The treatise laid the foundation for Berkeley's doctrine of immaterialism, though this word was not used" (Keynes, Bibliography of George Berkeley, p. 3).

        AN ENGLISH-SAXON HOMILY ON THE BIRTH-DAY OF ST. GREGORY: ANCIENTLY USED IN THE ENGLISH- SAXON CHURCH. GIVING AN ACCOUNT OF THE CONVERSION OF THE ENGLISH FROM PAGANISM TO CHRISTIANITY. TRANSLATED INTO MODERN ENGLISH, WITH NOTES, &C

      London: Printed by W. Bowyer, 1709.. [10],lx (with misnumbering as per ESTC),[2],44,[4],11,[3],49,[7]pp. Octavo. Extracted from nonce pamphlet volume. Engraved frontis (here bound before Appendix) and engraved vignettes by S. Gribelin. Some foxing, first and last two leaves exhibit some dust soiling and smudging, old tidemark early and late, and scattered elsewhere, early ink ownership initials in lower fore- corner of title; just a sound copy of an interesting and important book. First edition of the second separate (but first substantial) publication by Elstob, a highly significant figure in the development of 18th century Anglo-Saxon studies, and future author of RUDIMENTS OF GRAMMER FOR THE ENGLISH-SAXON, FIRST GIVEN IN ENGLISH (1715). Elstob was as well prominent among feminists of the era, and counted Mary Astell among her circle of friends. The final leaves print a substantial list of subscribers, along with errata. This edition "is a lavishly produced book equipped with copious text-critical and explanatory notes, with a modern English translation facing the Old English text on each page and a lengthy introduction and appendix dealing inter alia with the role and enduring importance of Gregory in the English church. The historiated initial of the modern English translation of Ælfric&#39;s text contains Elizabeth Elstob&#39;s portrait engraved by Simon Gribelin ... Elizabeth Elstob&#39;s scholarly &#156;uvre is on a par with the best work produced in Anglo- Saxon studies at the beginning of the eighteenth century. Moreover, her concept of writing her Old English grammar in English, and of providing her editions with a critical apparatus, introductions, and translations&#151;all in English&#151;at a time when scholarly publications in the field were almost invariably written throughout in Latin, clearly pointed to the future" - DNB. The location of over one hundred copies by ESTC might be taken as demonstrative of the esteem in which Elstob&#39;s text has been held. ESTC T86163. LOWNDES III:734-5. BRUNET II:966.

[22], 426, [31] p. : 20 cm (8vo) Fully bound in contemporary calf-skin leather. 5 raised bands. 6 compartments. Upside-down spine label on lowest compartment. Gilt embossed borders and decorative flourishes on boards. Tight binding and solid boards. Minor shelf wear. Rubbing to boards. Light scuffing to spine. Slight cracking to rear board. Personal library bookplate inside front board. Otherwise, clean, unmarked pages with minor wrinkling, discoloration. Although one of the most eccentric physicians of his time, John Floyer published a number of works which depict a sensitivity for pure scientific research. As a result of his research on the matter, he became an ardent advocate for hydrotherapy as a means to curing and treating ailments. His lengthy treatise, Psychrolousia, or the History of Cold Bathing, published in 1701-02, is one of many books on the subject that served to support his basic thesis of the benefit of hot and cold baths. He advocated the therapy not only on purely scientific grounds, but he appealed to such irreproachable experts from antiquity as Hippocrates, Celsus, Caelius Aurelianus, and Galen, as well as to contemporary physiologists and English intellectuals. A scarce, well-preserved volume in very good condition.

What is known is that after the death of her parents she came under the care of her cousin, the Tory lawyer, John Manley, who would later bigamously marry Delarivier and have a son with her. In 1694, under the protection of Barbara Villiers separated from her husband and it was after this that her writing career really begins. Her &#39;Secret Memoirs...&#39;, a satirical attack on the Whig government and grandees, would lead to her arrest for seditious libel. Her defence was essentially to insist that the work was fiction and that those who felt personally offended must prove that it was their stories she told and in the absence of anyone willing to offer such proof, she was discharged. The success of her &#39;Secret Memoirs...&#39; inspired her to write the continuation &#39;Memoirs of Europe...&#39; but after 1711 she concentrated on political journalism, writing a number of political pamphlets and editing a number of editions of Jonathan Swift&#39;s &#39;Examiner&#39;. In his &#39;Journal to Stella&#39; Swift describes Manley as having &#145;very generous principles for one of her sort; and a great deal of sense and invention; she is about forty, very homely, and very fat&#146;. Throughout the 19th and for much of the 20th centuries Manley was regarded as a scandalous female author undeserving of fame or of even being read. More recently her reputation has been transformed with wider appreciation of her work by students of early 18th century literature and with the recognition of Manley as a proto-feminist author. , 8vo 8" - 9" tall .

        The Spleen, A Pindarique Ode. By a Lady. Together with A Prospect of Death: A Pindarique Essay.

      1709  Octavo A8. 16 pp. This copy is bound in full parchment over boards, with marbled paper paste downs.?The physical disability and psychological perturbations of melancholy were well known to one of the foremost women poets of the eighteenth century, Anne Finch, Countess of Winchilsea. As a victim of the malady, her description of its effects were firsthand and specific, with none of the generalities born of vague knowledge [...] Lady Winchilsea begins her best-known poem on the subject, ?The Spleen? (1701), by describing the malady as ?Proteus to abus?d Mankind.? No one can find the cause of the affliction, she writes, nor can one ?fix thee to remain in one continued Shape.? By speaking of melancholy in these terms, Lady Winchilsea is echoing the sentiments of contemporary physicians who frequently compared the disease to Proteus, the shape-changing god of the sea, because its manifestations were always changing, continuously shifting from one part of the body to another, while constantly mimicking other diseases. Underlying its various forms, however, was the notion expounded by the Countess and contemporary physicians alike that melancholy was a mixed malady of body and mind, causing the sufferer physical pain and the psychological disorders of anxiety, grief, and fear without cause.? (Melancholy in Anne Finch and Elizabeth Carter, by John F. Sena) ??Spleen? is for Finch both triumph and failure. It is only once the spleen has affected the speaker that she describes her poetry as fallen, decayed failure. But, at the same time, the spleen allows her to assert that she does not wish to be a genteel woman artist, one who makes safe, insipid domestic arts or uncritically draws the monarch?s ?undistinguish?d Face.? ?The Spleen? returns to the overlap of political religious, and emotional failure in its closing lines with a description of Richard Lower, a physician to Charles II who supported the Whigs in the Popish Plot, sinking beneath the weight of the spleen.? (English Women?s Poetry, 1649-1714, by Carol Barash)Foxon F141; ESTC 006421564.

        Miscellanea. Hoc est I. Dissertatio de Barometris, & Thermometris, II. Machinae Aritmeticae, eiusque usus Descriptio, III. De Sectionibus Conicis Parallelorum in Horologiis Solaribus Tractatus

      Finely engraved vignette on title & 9 folding engraved plates. 4 p.l., 56 pp. 4to, cont. vellum over boards (a few minor defects to binding). Venice: A. Pavinus, 1709. First edition of Poleni&#39;s first book; it is today a scarce work on the market. It includes dissertations on barometers, thermometers, and conical sections in sundials, as well as an illustrated treatise describing his arithmetical calculating machine. Poleni invented his "pin-wheel" calculating machine after reading about those of Pascal (1645) and Leibniz (1671). He built it out of wood, but destroyed it when he heard that Brauer, a Viennese machine-maker, had presented another calculating machine to the Emperor. This book is therefore the only record of his invention and its illustrations were the basis of IBM (Italia)&#39;s reconstruction of it. "The &#39;pin-wheel&#39; was embodied in a calculating machine which was devised, and constructed in hard wood, by the Italian nobleman, G. Poleni (see his Miscellanea, Venice, 1709). The pin-wheel is a toothed wheel, the number of whose teeth can be varied at will; a simple movement causes 1,2,3...and up to 9 teeth to project; these interact with an equal number of teeth on the cog-wheel controlling the dial whenever the pin-wheel is turned through a complete revolution, and the pointer is moved forward by an equal number of places. Poleni&#39;s mechanism for carrying numbers was somewhat akin to Pascal&#39;s sautoir, but it was operated by suspended weights instead of by springs."­Wolf, II, p. 656. Pin-wheels have the advantage over stepped reckoners of occupying less space. They were employed in the nineteenth century by Thomas, and by the Russian inventor W.T.

      Printed for J. Woodward and J. Morphew 1709 - FIRST EDITION, mostly rather browned, pp. [xvi], 174 [i.e.176], 145-304, 8vo, fairly recent half calf, minuscule inscription on verso of title &#145;W.S. Ogden, 1885&#146;, sound The &#145;golden spies&#146; are coins endowed with speech in this collection of tales anticipating The Adventures of a Guinea, and very much in the same picaresque, humorous, amorous and scandalous vein. Gildon (1665-1724) &#145;spent five years at the English College in Douai, but did not enter the Roman priesthood as his family had intended. He returned to England, aged nineteen, and two years later went to London, where he spent or was tricked by lawyers out of the greatest part of his paternal estate . Financial need forced Gildon to become a versatile professional writer, producing translations, biographies, essays, plays, verse, fictional letters, tales, and criticism as required. His earliest identifiable work was a flattering History of the Athenian Society (1692), commissioned by John Dunton. Dunton continued to employ Gildon, and in 1705 wrote that he: "is well acquainted with the Languages, and writes with a peculiar Briskness, which the common Hacks can't boast of, in Regard, they want the Life and Spirit, and the same Liberty, and Extent of Genius." Gildon maintained a standard well above the common hacks for some thirty years of copious and varied output. He was received into the company of John Dryden, William Wycherley, and Aphra Behn&#146; (ODNB). (McBurney 44; ESTC T71295)
