        Persien nach seinem neuesten Zustande in das Oestliche und Westliche Reich eingeteilt.

      Weimar, Geographisches Institut, 1804. - Hand-coloured engraved map (740 x 555 mm). A fascinating 1804 map of Persia by Christian Gottlieb Reichard. It covers from the Black Sea south as far as the Gulf and east as far as Punjab in India, including the modern day nations of Iran, Iraq, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan. The map identifies numerous towns, villages, deserts, mountain ranges, river systems and a host of other topographical features. The map is color coded according to territories and boundaries. The map curiously divides the country, as the title suggests, into the Eastern and Western Empire, suggesting suspicious political evidence. Furthermore, the islands in the Gulf are also erroneously shown as independent territories, suggesting political aspirations of the time. The map represents Persia under the Qajar Dynasty. In 1794, Aga Muhammad Khan of the Qajar Dynasty overthrew Loft Ali Khan, the last Shah of the Zand Dynasty, and relocated the capital to the new city of Tehran. The subsequent era, the Qajar Dynasty, witnessed numerous military conflicts with the rising powers of Imperial Russia and the loss of much of Persia's territory. Al-Qasimi 218. Not in Tibbetts, Al Ankary.

        Autograph letter signed ("Beethoven").

      [Vienna, August/September 1804]. - 4to. 1 p., mounted on backing paper. In German. Probably to Ferdinand Ries, requesting him to proof-read a piano concerto published at the Kunst- und Industrie-Comptoir - very likely op. 37, the Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor: "Would you have the kindness to look at the parts for me, as far as I see not all parts have been engraved entirely, you will have to see Sonnleitner about that; - but make haste now - I will once more examine the piano part myself [.]." - Joseph Sonnleithner (1766-1835) was a partner in the Vienna "Kunst- und Industriecomptoir", publisher of op. 37. The composer and pianist Ries (1784-1838), student, secretary, and friend of Beethoven's, frequently assisted his teacher with such proofreading tasks during his first stay at Vienna during the years 1801-05. "If Ries is indeed the addressee, then this letter must refer to the first proofreading of the original edition of op. 37 [.] The engraving of this original edition of op. 37 was probably not begun until after the performance by Ries, on July 19 or 26, 1804, after the definitive text of the concerto and, in particular, the solo voice had been prepared [.] It could not have appeared before the second half of September 1804" (cf. Beethoven, Briefwechsel GA). On July 19 or 26 Ried made his piano début in the Vienna Augarten, performing the Piano Concerto op. 37, Beethoven's only piano concerto in a minor key. - Slight edge defects, some brownstaining; torn off closely on the left edge (barely touching the writing). Includes old collection folder and an old typed transcription (carbon copy). Provenance: in the collection of Miss Emilie Schaup (d. 1942) in 1927. Beethoven, Briefwechsel GA I, p. 222, no. 190 ("lost"). First printing: Führer durch die Beethoven-Zentenarausstellung der Stadt Wien (Vienna 1927), p. 201, no. 873.

        To the King's Most Excellent Majesty, this Map of the Island of Jamaica, constructed from actual surveys, under the authority of the Hon. House of Assembly, by whom it hath been examined, and unanimously approved

      First edition. This is probably one of the most striking and sought after maps of the Caribbean Island. Its size is impressive and the aesthetical feature makes it a cornerstone for Jamaican cartography. A very large-scale map, showing physical features such as mountains, streams, and bodies of water, locations of towns and settlements, roads, mills, plantations, harbours, and offshore islands. One of Robertson's important contributions was that he delineated the new county and parish boundaries that had been established a few years earlier. It is among the early topographic maps to show an entire country (the earliest being the Carte géométrique de la France). James Robertson of Shetland (ca. 1756-1841) was Jamaica's first real surveyor in the sense that he worked as a cartographer rather than a land surveyor. He came to Jamaica around 1778 and persuaded the Council to give him a commission to survey the entire island for the sum of £5,000 whereupon he commenced surveys of the three counties and the entire island. In 1802 he returned to England to have his map published and subsequently returned to Jamaica. He soon left, however, to return to England where he died. All in all, the Jamaican Council paid him over £10,000 for his work. He is considered the father of modern Jamaican cartography. This grandiose map has been praised since its publication. See B.W. Higman, Jamaica Surveyed: Plantations Maps and Plans of the Eighteenth- and Nineteenth Centuries (Kingston: Institute of Jamaica, 1988) and D. Webster, "The Ubiquitous Scot" in The Map Collector, 56 (Autumn 1991), pp. 32-33 Very rare; copies located by OCLC: British Library, Clements (Michigan), National Library of Scotland.

        Inquiry into the Nature and Origin of Public Wealth

      1804. First Edition . MAITLAND, James. An Inquiry into the Nature and Origin of Public Wealth, and into the Means and Causes of Its Increase. Edinburgh: Arch. Constable; London: T.N. Longman &amp; O. Rees, 1804. Octavo, contemporary full polished brown calf gilt, red morocco spine label. $1800.First edition of the Earl of Lauderdale's discourse on public wealth, in which he argues against Adam Smith's concept of value.In 1796 James Maitland, Earl of Lauderdale, called the attention of the House of Lords to the state of the public finances, but at the time did not offer a formal resolution. Instead he embarked upon a series of writings on the subject. In 1804 he published his Inquiry, which attracted considerable attention, partly because in it Maitland chose to criticize Adam Smith as the person who has struggled most to establish the opinion, that labor may be considered as an accurate measure of value. For Maitland, wealth is everything that possesses utility; but individual riches possess utility and scarcity. These two elements determine value (Roll, 307). Maitland also disagreed with Smith's contention that there is never too much capital and that every saver is a public benefactor (Niehans, 80, 86). Large folding table at rear. Kress 4816. Goldsmiths 18801. Interior fine. Front inner hinge reinforced, only minor scuffing to spine of contemporary calf. A near-fine copy.

Sraffa 3233. An important commentary on Smith's Wealth of Nations>. 'Specifically, Lauderdale asserts that: (1) the maximisation of private riches does not lead to maximum public wealth and welfare; (2) labour is not the cause of value or an adequate measure of new value; (3) division of labour is not a major factor in economic growth; (4) parsimony and saving are frequently a public detriment as they may lead to over- investment and a capital glut; and (5) government tax revenues applied to rapid debt reduction will reduce aggregate consumption, deflate profits and capital values, and result in economic distress.' (New Palgrave> 3, p.137). 'To Lauderdale belongs the credit of having been the first to put forward a connected theory on the nature of profit, in the form of a theory, and not of scattered observations. Lauderdale's importance in the history of economics lies not in his conclusions but in the fact that he was the first in England to consider systematically the fundamental conceptions on which the science is based. In this respect alone he is in advance of Adam Smith.' (Palgrave (1926)> II, p.574). [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]

        [MARITIME] Manuscript documents relating to the prize San Cristoforo, captured by HMS Anson, 1804

      The Spanish ship San Cristoforo was captured in the Mediterranean by HMS Anson, under the command of William Cracraft, on December 8 1804. She was carrying a cargo of hides and other products from Montevideo in the New World and was bound for Barcelona. The Anson was at the time acting independently of the rest of the British fleet, under the specific orders of Lord Viscount Nelson, and after the capture Cracraft sent the Spanish ship to Malta, where the value of the prize was assessed. The Judge of the Vice Admiralty Court of the island of Malta determined in April 1805 that the ship's cargo be sold at Malta.

        Georges Cadoudal]. Georges Cadoudal conspira contre Bonaparte et périt sur l'échafaud en 1804.

      1804 ca. 1804 - Manuscrit de 75 feuillets. Dossier manuscrit relatif à la conspiration de Georges Cadoudal depuis son signalement et son arrestation le 9 mars, jusqu'à son exécution sur fond de rivalité franco-anglaise. Depuis janvier 1804, les complots étaient conçus par les ministres anglais en liaison avec les princes français émigrés à Londres. Ils étaient ensuite orchestrés par les diplomates, sir Francis Drake à Munich et Spencer Smith à Stuttgart. « Un pamphlet intitulé « Tuer n?est pas assassiner » - recopié ici même, écrit contre Cromwell fut réimprimé avec des allusions visant Napoléon. Nous avons inséré dans le numéro de lundi dernier l'extrait d'un autre journal de Londres, dans lequel on indique clairement que l'assassinat du premier consul devait avoir lieu dans quelques temps. Les personnes qui arrivent d'Angleterre rapportent que depuis quinze jours, on annonce tous les matins à la bourse de Londres, que le premier consul vient d'être assassiné. On y nomme publiquement Georges, Pichegru, Moreau &c. Dossier chronologique complet des principales pièces sur la conspiration de Cadoudal qui visa Bonaparte l'année de son sacre et ses retombées diplomatiques, recopiées d'une même main sur papier vergé par un contemporain resté anonyme.

Sir John Carr (1772-1832) was an English barrister, illustrator, poet and traveller. ''He was called to the bar at the Middle Temple, but from reasons of health found it advisable to travel, and published accounts of his journeys in different European countries, which though without much intrinsic merit, obtained a wide circulation on account of their light, gossipy style, and the fact that in the species of literature there was then comparatively little competition'' (DNB). He started his travels to the north of Europe in 1804 and describes the different cities he visited and the people he meets, with remarks on their hospitality and their eating habits, describing, for example, "a Swedish meal".From the library of the Swedish bibliophile and collector Gustaf Bernström (1877-1966).

        Theory of Moral Sentiments

      1804. SMITH, Adam. The Theory of Moral Sentiments… To Which Is Added, A Dissertation on the Origin of Languages. London: Printed for T. Cadell and W. Davies in the Strand; and W. Creech, and Bell and Bradfute, Edinburgh, 1804. Octavo, contemporary full polished brown calf gilt rebacked, marbled endpapers and edges. $3800.1804 edition of Smith’s pioneering first book, a work which he himself ranked above Wealth of Nations and which served as its foundation, both works demonstrating “a greater unifying principle…Smith’s ethics and his economics are integrated by the same principle of self-command, or self-reliance, which manifests itself in economics in laissez faire” (Spiegel), scarce in contemporary calf boards.The Theory of Moral Sentiments laid the foundation on which The Wealth of Nations was later to be built and proposed the theory which would be repeated in the later work: that self-seeking men are often ""led by an invisible hand… without knowing it, without intending it, to advance the interest of the society."" ""The fruit of his Glasgow years… The Theory of Moral Sentiments would be enough to assure the author a respected place among Scottish moral philosophers, and Smith himself ranked it above the Wealth of Nations… Its central idea is the concept, closely related to conscience, of the impartial spectator who helps man to distinguish right from wrong. For the same purpose, Immanuel Kant invented the categorical imperative and Sigmund Freud the superego…"" (Niehans, 62). With the Moral Sentiments and Wealth of Nations Smith aimed to compose ""not merely a treatise on moral philosophy and a treatise on economics, but a complete moral and political philosophy, in which the two elements of history and theory were to be closely conjoined"" (Palgrave III:412-13). ""Smith's ethics and his economics are integrated by the same principle of self-command, or self-reliance, which manifests itself in economics in laissez faire"" (Spiegel, 231). First published in 1759; ""Tenth Edition"" stated on title pages. With half titles. See Kress 5815; Goldsmith 9537; ESTC T141578. Early owner signature (I).Text fresh with only light scattered foxing. A handsome near-fine copy, most difficult to find in any early edition.

      Vienna, SV Degen, 1804 and Paris Hocquet, 1820.. de celle d'Emulation de Liege, et de celle pour l'Encouragement des Sciences et Arts de Hambourg. SECOND EDITION, revue et corrigee, 1820. French text, 8vo, approximately 190 x 125 mm, 7½ x 5 inches, woodcut title vignette, 4 woodcut illustrations printed on 3 pages, 1 large folding plate of the Minerve, plus at the end 1 EXTRA folding plate (probably a facsimile) of a fantasy flying machine which seems to come from an Italian work, pages: 36, (4), bound in modern half calf over cloth sides, raised bands and gilt decoration to spine, contrasting gilt lettered labels, top edges gilt, marbled endpapers. Corners and hinges very slightly rubbed, small blemish to upper hinge, front inner paper hinge cracked, 2 very small repairs to edge of front endpaper, slightly foxed throughout, mostly light, the folding plate is faintly foxed at the edges, there is a small light stain at the top outer corner, a tiny piece missing from the lower corner and a very short closed edge tear at the inner edge (repaired on reverse), the unnumbered illustrated pages at the end are very faintly foxed at the edges, otherwise a very good copy. Étienne-Gaspard Robert (1763-1837) was a famous Belgian stage magician pioneering projection techniques for phantasmagoria shows, at the same time pursuing an academic career as professor of physics at Liege, specialising in optics. He also had vast experience with balloons - he was Commandant des Aerostiers during the war, serving under General Jourdain in Belgium and Holland in 1803/4, providing valuable observations on the enemy troops and movements from tethered and untethered balloon observing stations; he is also regarded by some as the inventor of the parachute. There was nothing about the balloon described in this pamphlet that would have worked, and Robertson knew it, intending his work to be more of caricature of existing attempts in flight than as a science fiction creation. The balloon was to have been one of the biggest ever designed with a 150 foot diameter for a load of 161,000 lbs including 60 scientists, plus some ladies who have their own quarters, and it was to be fitted out with a library, church, exercise area, chemistry laboratory, music room, food and wine storage, kitchen, the only place where a fire is allowed, etc. It is also provided with a small ship underneath for sea landings. The first edition which is extremely scarce was first published in Vienne, France in 1804. This is mentioned on the title page and see Tissandier, Bibliographie Aeronautique page 33.

The plates: 1. A View of the Life & the Mountain of Calamity 2. The Hall of Silence 3. 1745-1787-1804 4. The Bashful Man 5. The Friars Tale 6. Sir Geffry Oddwhim, Lady Jane, Charlotte & Peerson 7.

Peerson, Stanley, Sir Geffry, Ruki & Tim Humphry Repton (21 April 1752 - 24 March 1818) was the last great English landscape designer of the eighteenth century, often regarded as the successor to Capability Brown. He is well-known for his fine books on Architecture and Landscape Gardening - Sketches and Hints on Landscape Gardening (1794), Observations on the Theory and Practice of Landscape Gardening (1803), Designs for the Pavilion at Brighton (1808) and Fragments on the Theory and Practice of Landscape Gardening (1816). Repton sowed the seeds of the more intricate and eclectic styles of the 19th century. His Odd Whims; and Miscellanies (1804) were dedicated to William Windham, the British Whig Statesman. Some of the essays in Variety were reprinted in this collection, and in the second volume is Odd Whims, or Two at a Time; a Comedy, Written in the year 1783, which was played at Ipswich in 1804. Abbey, Life, 246 and 247 (large paper copy measuring 9 x 5/38 inches). Prideaux, p. 349.

Giovanni-Batista Balbis, physician and botanist, was a pupil of Carlo Allioni, and succeeded him as professor of botany and director of the botanical garden at Turin. When the latter published his Flora Pedemontana, which contained descriptions of more than two thousand species of plants, there were some inevitable omissions. Allioni and some of his pupils, including Balbis, made additions to the Flora Pedemontana. Several of these additions were published in the editions of Catalogus plantarum Horti Botanici Taurinensis appearing from 1804 to 1814, when Balbis was dismissed from his position because he served the French during the Napoleonic occupation.With a manuscript annotation on title-page "Donné par M. Balbis", an unobtrusive stamp of Société Linnéenne de Lyon on page 11 and another stamp, lower right corner cut off of title-page. Boards rubbed, spine tattered. Good copy.
