        Sketches in the Crimea.

      Dickinson Bros New Bond Street London 1856 - Landscape 8vo. (19.5 x 27.7 cm). Lithographed title, 13 tinted lithographed plates; light soiling and spotting, small marginal repairs. Publisher's brown cloth, gilt lettering to upper cover, a bit rubbed, more towards extremities. Very rare album comprising views of Sebastopol, Balaklava, Kadikoi, the Tchenaya river and others. The album also includes a view of the interior of a wooden hut, which in the spring of 1855 began to replace tents, as these had proved inadequate against the elements during the previous winter. The plates were lithographed after drawings by Captain Charles Augustus Drake Halford (1831-1907), who served in the 5th Dragoon Guards during the Crimean War. Roger Fenton took a number of photographs of Captain Halford that can today be found in the collections of the Library of Congress and the Royal Collection. The work was published by Dickinson Brothers (active 1852 - 1908), a leading London printing and publishing firm. In the same year they issued another series of views of the Crimean War in the same format, after drawings by Sir Henry James Warre (1819 - 1898). Both titles are very rare, Halford's even more so: We could trace no records of this title at auction in the past 35 years. Copies were found only in the collections of the Brown University library, Ohio University and the British Library. There were none in the Library of Congress, Yale University Library or Harvard University Library. Not in Abbey. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

Remains a very good copy indeed. First edition of this remarkable compilation of reports on the Persian Gulf, submitted to the Government of Bombay between 1818 and 1854. Intended as a reference work for British officers, this book was on publication the most extensive account of the region then available, and remains an indispensable source for the history, peoples and topography of Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and, in particular, what are now the United Arab Emirates: "Anyone working on the nineteenth-century history of Eastern Arabia and the Gulf comes across frequent references to it  It served as a basic source for Lorimer in his Gazetteer of the Persian Gulf, Oman and Central Arabia. It contains, however, a great deal more information that Lorimer omitted, presumably for reasons of space. [For example,] the history of Abu Dhabi which Lorimer dealt with in just over four pages here receives thirty-four" (Robin Bidwell in his introduction to the 1985 reprint). The papers, 22 in total, were written during a formative period in Gulf history. In the beginning of the 19th century, ships belonging to the Qawasim tribe, the modern rulers of Sharjah, began to disrupt British communications with India. When a British ship was captured in 1818 less than 70 miles from Bombay an expedition was launched, leading to the seizure of Ra's al-Khaymah and other Qawasim strongholds. In 1830 the British and the shaykhs of the modern-day UAE concluded a "General Treaty of Peace", though the British realised that they would have to maintain a permanent presence in the region, and that "to act as policemen both topographical and background knowledge have always been required: the papers printed in [Thomas's] volume were designed to provide this for the men on the spot and for their masters in Bombay" (ibid.) Many of the reports stem from the first hydrographical survey of the Persian Gulf, conducted by the Bombay Marine between 1819 and 1829. These include the 100-page "Memoir Descriptive of the Navigation of the Gulf of Persia; with Brief Notices of the  People Inhabiting its Shores and Islands" by Captain George Barnes Brucks, commander of the survey, together with several in-depth surveys by other officers including a description of Kuwait Harbour and Failaka Island. The most prolific contributor is Arnold Burrowes Kemball (1820-1908), an officer in the Bombay Artillery who was appointed assistant political resident in the Persian Gulf in 1842, and remained in the region until his retirement in 1878. His reports include "Memoranda on the Resources, Localities, and Relations of the Tribes inhabiting the Arabian Shores of the Persian Gulf" (pp. 91-120) and a remarkable 125-page "Chronological Table of Events" (pp. 121-246), which comprises detailed historical timelines, from the early 18th century to the author's own day, for all the region's main powers, namely, the Qawasim; the Bani 'Utbah (the tribal federation including the modern-day ruling families of Kuwait and Bahrain); the Bani Ya's federation (whose most prominent family, Al Nahyan, are the modern rulers of Abu Dhabi); the Al Falasi (ancestors of Dubai's ruling Al Maktoum dynasty); the Sultans of Muscat; and the Wahhabis. Kemball's piece is expanded by individual "Historical Sketches" for each of these groups, with additional accounts of the tribes of 'Ajman and Umm al-Quwain, two smaller emirates of the UAE. Several of these are by Francis Warden, Chief Secretary, Bombay, with continuations by Kemball and other military officers. Containing as it does information of the greatest political and strategic importance, this book was intended for highly limited and selective distribution. Robin Bidwell remarked: "Although the print run is not known, it must have been very small or much of it must have been lost. In the seventeen years that I have been responsible for the library of the Middle East Centre at Cambridge, I have never known a copy offered for sale despite an assiduous watch on antiquarian booksellers and their catalogues". We can trace just one complete copy at auction, the Burrell copy; Copac locates eight copies (Aberdeen, British Library, Exeter, King's College, London Library, LSE, Oxford and SOAS; OCLC adds the Danish National Library, Georgetown, Hamburg, Minnesota, and Princeton. Of all these, only six definitely identify the presence of the large map. A full list of contents is available on request.

Erste Ausgabe. - "Johann Nepomuk Fuchs (1774 - 1856) . . hat auf dem Gebiet der Mineralchemie eine führende Rolle gespielt. Er sprach 1815 als erster aus, daß sowohl in Mineralien als auch in künstlich hergestellten chemischen Verbindungen gewisse Bestandteile einander vertreten können, ohne daß ihre Kristallform sich merklich verändert. Seit 1821 studierte er die Entstehung der Porzellanerde und versuchte auch mit Erfolg Silikate zu synthetisieren. Hierbei beobachtete er unter anderem den Basenaustausch der Zeolithe und kam zu einer seiner bekanntesten Entdeckungen, der Herstellung von `Wasserglas`, das er nach dem Münchner Theaterbrand (1823) als Feuerschutzmittel und später auch als Malgrundlage (Verfahren der &#132;Stereochromie" 1855) technisch anwandte. Schließlich konnte er ein wissenschaftliches Verfahren zur Erzeugung von `hydraulischem Mörtel` (Zement) ausarbeiten. Beobachtungen an der Kieselsäure und ihren Verbindungen führten ihn zur Aufstellung des Begriffes `Amorphismus`, wodurch er die Forschung auf das Gebiet der späteren Kolloidchemie lenkte. Fuchs bereicherte die Chemie durch neue analytische und präparative Arbeitsmethoden, die zum Teil noch heute in Gebrauch sind" (NDB V, 680). - Vorderer Buchinnendeckel mit hs. Notiz.

        Back to Methusela. Engravings by John Farleigh.

      19 cm x 28 cm. LVI, 260 pages. Original Hardcover with illustrated dustjacket in protective slip-case. Excellent condition limited edition with only very minor signs of external wear. George Bernard Shaw (26 July 1856 2 November 1950), known at his insistence simply as Bernard Shaw, was an Irish playwright, critic and polemicist whose influence on Western theatre, culture and politics extended from the 1880s to his death and beyond. He wrote more than sixty plays, including major works such as Man and Superman (1902), Pygmalion (1912) and Saint Joan (1923). With a range incorporating both contemporary satire and historical allegory, Shaw became the leading dramatist of his generation, and in 1925 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Back to Methuselah (A Metabiological Pentateuch) by George Bernard Shaw consists of a preface (An Infidel Half Century) and a series of five plays: In the Beginning: B.C. 4004 (In the Garden of Eden), The Gospel of the Brothers Barnabas: Present Day, The Thing Happens: A.D. 2170, Tragedy of an Elderly Gentleman: A.D. 3000, and As Far as Thought Can Reach: A.D. 31,920. All were written during 191820, published simultaneously by Constable (London) and Brentano's (New York) in 1921, and first performed in the United States in 1922 by the New York Theatre Guild at the old Garrick Theatre, New York.

        Rue Napoleon, Algiers.

      - Biskra., ca. 1856, Original photograph, albumen print, 25,4 x 19,9 cm. Damaged spot at right upper corner, upper corners cut off. - Photograph from his journey to Algérie 1856-1858 Félix Jacques Antoine Moulin (1802 -1875). - A "specialist in académies" was how Félix Jacques Moulin listed himself in city business directories when he opened a photographic studio in Paris in 1851. Académies, or artists' studies, was the polite term for nude studies, which frequently bordered on the pornographic; that same year Moulin was arrested for the possession and sale of "obscene objects." He was sentenced to a month in prison and fined but was not deterred. He continued to sell académies to artists and other interested consumers. Moulin also purchased the rights from Roger Fenton's publisher to sell Fenton's Crimean War photographs. In 1856 Moulin traveled to Algeria, where he made city views and studies of the country's inhabitants. KEYWORDS:algeria/algiers/photo

        Monuments Antiques à Orange: Arc de Triomphe et Théatre

      1856. Publiés sous les Auspices de S. E. M. le Ministre d'Etat. VI, 89 pp. text, with very detailed descriptions and documentation, on the remains of the Roman theater and triumphal arch in the French city, extensive scholarly notes including bibliographic material, measurements of finds, extracts from literature on related works, engraved frontispiece, and 51 superb engraved plates (including one chromolithograph), most with guard sheets, showing general plans and views, details, elevations, sculptural decoration, contextual diagrams, conjectural reconstructions, etc. Some scattered foxing throughout, especially to text and to guard sheets, several pages with minor acid burn/loss to margin, spine shaken with some splitting along lower third, several pages with minor repairs along spine. Large folio. Leather-backed boards, raised spine. Some rubbing along extremities, minor splitting and leather loss along top and bottom edges of spine. Paris (Firmin Didot Frères) 1856. The Roman Theatre in Orange was built early in the 1st century AD and is one of the best-preserved Roman theatres to survive to this day. It served the Roman colony of Arausio, and was closed by official edict in AD 391 due to opposition by the Church to its "uncivilized spectacles". Over the centuries it was pillaged by the Visigoths, used as a defensive post during the Middle Ages, and served as a refuge for the town during the religious wars of the 16th century. There traditionally has been debate about the date of construction of the Arc de Triomphe, but current research dates it to the reign of Augustus, between 27 BC and AD 14. It was built on the former Via Agrippa to honor the veterans of the Gallic Wars, and was later reconstructed by emperor Tiberius to celebrate the victories of Germanicus over the German tribes in Rhineland. It was built into the town's walls during the Middle Ages to guard the northern entry points of the town.

Overall a very good copy.ìFriedrich List [1789-1846] is one of the earliest and most severe critics of the classical school of political economy. He denounced Adam Smith and his disciples as the ëcosmopolitan schoolí and held that universal free trade was an ideal that could be achieved only in the far distant future. For the time being, he argued, each nation should foster the development of its own manufacturers by import duties and even outright prohibitions. Only by such means could countries like Germany, Russia and the United States ever hope to achieve the industrial efficiency that would enable them to compete on equal terms with Britainî (Blaug, Great Economists before Keynes, pp. 129-131).ìDespite the influence of Alexander Hamilton, the seeds of ëThe National System of Political Economyí are to be found in the romantic theories of Adam M¸ller (1779-1829). From him List derived his opposition to Adam Smith and the principle of free-trade. He denied Smithís parallel between the economic good of the individual and the state, and saw in Smithís ëfree tradeí unprincipled private advantage to the detriment of the state. To List, the nation was a separate unit standing between the concepts of the individual and humanity as a whole; its unity consisting of common language, traditions, culture and constitution. It followed that its wealth lay not in the capacity for commercial international exchange, as Smith held, bu in the development of its own economic and productive resources. Thus, the good of the national economy must override that of the individual. From this followed Listís theory of industrial politics, which was based on an alternating pattern of free trade and controls determined always by the final good of the state...These views coincided so exactly with the reawakening of German nationalism that Listís book caused a great sensation when it was published, and it remained for seventy years the theoretic gospel of the advocates of protectionist tariffs in Germany, Britain and the United Statesî (Printing and the Mind of Man).Einaudi.

        Nos Souvenirs de Kil-Bouroun Pendant l'Hiver Passé Dans le Liman du Dnieper, 1855-1856

      A beautiful and rare album comprising title page, a map showing the location of the naval battle of Kil-Bouroun (Kinburn), and 15 chromolithographic plates depicting mostly maritime scenes after the battle along the ice-bound Dnieper River, including inside the fort, disembarking onto the ice, and ruined fortifications, lithographed and colored by Eugene Ciceri and Adolphe Bayot, the ships drawn by Antoine Léon Morel-Fatio, after drawings by Paris. Some details appear to be hand-colored. Some scattered foxing, small stain to inside front cover, a few small tears along binding, spine very slightly shaken. Folio. Full leather, raised spine. Paris (Arthus-Bertrand/Becquet Freres) n.d. (circa 1856). The Battle of Kil-Bouroun (Kinburn) took place during the final phase of the Crimean War, on October 17, 1855, at the tip of the peninsula of Kinburn along the Dnieper River in modern-day Ukraine. During this naval battle, the British and French forces destroyed the Russian navy, having attacked them with a fleet of ironclad ships. The decisive battle helped to signify the decline of the traditional wooden warship. Very scarce; as of October 2017, WorldCat locates only two holdings in North America of this suite.

      (Paris, Morris), [ca. 1856]. - 8vo. 34 pp. Printed blue original wrappers.

The actors' names are corrected by hand, and Nestroy signed the secretary's presentation note for the board of censorship. The censor passed the text without any changes; his handwritten endorsement is at the end of the text. The performance with Adelaide Ristori in the title role marked the beginning of a series of twelve shows staged by the Italian theatrical company of Luigi Bellotti-Bon (1820-83). Nestroy's contribution to the play's success was noted in the press (cf. Die Presse no. 40, 19 Feb. 1858, p. 2). - Corners of upper cover carefully repaired. [Attributes: Signed Copy; Soft Cover]

        Peter Piper's Practical Principles of Plain and Perfect Pronunciation. To Which is added a Collection of Moral and Entertaining Conundrums

      London: Griffith and Farran, 1856. Paperback. Very Good. Not dated circa 1856. Printed by Samuel Bentley & Co. 12mo. 32pp. Illustrated with 24 hand coloured woodcuts with verse below, one page for each letter and woodcut, X,Y & z sharing a page. Two leaves of conundrums at rear. Bound in the original yellow wrappers with a new spine; small nick to front margin; pages trimmed; there are minor marks throughout; a small nick/tear in margin, else a very good copy. Originally published by John Harris in 1813, Grant & Griffith were the successors of John Harris circa 1835, later changing their name to Griffith and Farran in 1856. The British Library does have both editions; the John Harris edition having 34pp; this edition with 32pp. ( A writer in The London Magazine' for Nov. 1829 dismissed Harris's book of Tongue Twisters arranged in alphabetical order , Peter Piper's Practical Principles of Plain and Perfect Pronunciation, as Degrading Trash' The Oxford Companion to Children's Literature') The Alphabet refers to figures of the day; i.e. G is Gilpin & Goose Gander; Inigo Impey inspected an Indian Image (veshnu). In the Conundrums section, the recent marriage of Queen Victoria to Albert is mentioned, dating the text after 1840, so is suspect that the conundrum section was updated in 1840 with a different type face.
