The second and largest chapter relates how to design and draw different kinds of fortifications according to various well-known military writers, including Hendrick Ruse, Christoph Heer and Menno van Coehoorn. The third deals with attacking and defending forts, the fourth with the necessary equipment for forts, and the fifth with the actual building of forts and all the necessary tools. Depicted in the engravings are schematic groundplans and profiles of different fortifications.Heavily foxed throughout, with some marginal water stains and occasional (ink) stains and spots. Plates with some minor foxing but otherwise good. Binding worn, sides chafed and spine damaged by a few wormholes. Overall a fair copy.

Boston: Re-printed and sold by Edes and Gill, in Queen Street, 1722 FIRST AMERICAN EDITION. This is the second cookbook printed in America, preceded only by the similarly rare The Compleat Housewife printed in Williamsburg in 1742. Carter's Frugal Housewife was one of the "enduring classics in the American marketplace, reprinted in American cities into the 1830s" (Snell). Printed from the London edition with alterations, The Frugal Housewife strongly influenced the first cookery book by an American author, Amelia Simmons's American Cookery (1796). Simmons copied entire passages almost word for word from Carter. This first American edition of The Frugal Housewife, printed without a date, was advertised by Edes & Gill in the Boston Gazette as "this day Published" on 2 March 1772. Edes & Gill are best remembered as the most important printers in Boston during the American Revolution. In 1773, one year after publishing this cookbook, they and their newspaper, the Boston Gazette, played a crucial role in sparking the Boston Tea Party. For this cookbook they turned to another patriot, Paul Revere, famed as a silversmith and engraver. Paul Revere engraved two plates on copper to illustrate this work. Revere referred to his work in his Day Book on January 20, 1772, where he wrote: "Mesr. Edes & Gill Dr. To Engraving a Copper plate for coocrey [sic] Book & 500 prints 2-14-0." Revere evidently engraved a single plate of copper with both illustrations. A fabulous provenance. This book bears the apparently otherwise unknown book label of Sally Parsons dated 1774. Women's book labels on American books of this interest and period are of the greatest rarity. VERY RARE. No copy appears in the book auction records of the past 100 years, apart from an example lacking nine leaves including the title. In 1954 Goodspeed's offered a copy with a portion of the title in facsimile--the only copy we have traced in the trade. Only four research libraries have copies (Library of Congress, Harvard, Brown, and American Antiquarian Society) and The Frugal Housewife is lacking from almost all of the great cookery collections. Seven copies are known worldwide: 1. American Antiquarian Society 2. Harvard 2 leaves short and likely supplied 3. Library of Congress lacking frontispiece plate 4. John Carter Brown frontispiece plate imperfect 5. Ross County Historical Society, Chillicothe, Ohio title-page imperfect 6. Private collection lacking 9 leaves incl. title 7. The present copy 12mo. , 166 of 168 pp., final leaf O6 in facsimile. 2 engraved plates. 18th-century sheep. Spine rubbed, front hinge starting at top. Light toning, small tear without loss to title. Generally in excellent condition, a remarkable survival, especially given the subject matter. Provenance: Sally Parsons 1774, with book label reading "The Property of Sally Parsons. 1774." with decorative border on front paste-down. References: Evans 12348.

Histoire de TIMUR-BEC, connu sous le nom du grand TAMERLAN, empereur des Mogols & Tartares: en forme de journal historique de ses victoires & conquêtes dans l'Asie & dans l'Europe.
Frankfurt u. Leipzig, o.V., [ca. 1722]. - 56 S. [recte: 54; S.7/8 in der Paginierung übersprungen], mit gest. Frontispiz, 8°, Karton aus Herrnhuter-Papier Huelke-Etzler 53. - Louis Dominique Garthausen, besser bekannt unter "Cartouche" (1693-1721). Schon in der Schule fiel er durch Diebstähle auf u. so jagte ihn sein Vater bereits im Alter von zwölf Jahren davon. Er schloss sich zunächst einer Räuberbande in der Normandie an. Wieder in Paris war er eine Zeitlang für den Polizeileutnant d Argenson als Spitzel tätig. Nach seiner Rückkehr aus der Armee gründete er eine eigene Räuberbande, die in u. um Paris ihr Unwesen trieb. Cartouche war durchaus populär, nicht zuletzt, weil seine Taten oft von einem gewissen Witz zeugten. Der ehemalige Scharfrichter Henri Sanson widmet ihm in seinen Memoiren der Henker von Paris ein ganzes Kapitel. Nach seiner Ergreifung wurden Cartouche u. vier seiner Kumpane dazu verurteilt, gerädert zu werden, nachdem er der gewöhnlichen u. außergewöhnlichen peinlichen Befragung unterzogen wurde. Dazu Sanson: "Am Morgen des 27. erlitt Cartouche die Tortur. Ein Bruchschaden, den die Ärzte bei ihm feststellten, ersparte ihm die Tortur des Wippens; die der spanischen Stiefel dagegen durchlitt er bis zum achten (Keil) mit außerordentlicher Festigkeit und Ruhe; er weigerte sich, irgendein Geständnis zu machen." Auf dem Weg zur Hinrichtung bemerkt er, dass es keine anderen Delinquenten gab. Nun belastete er Pierre-François-Gruthus Duchatelet, von dem er sich verraten fühlte. Am folgenden Tag übergab man ihn erneut dem Scharfrichter. Ein Retentum, das man ihm gewährt hatte, war dem Henker versehentlich nicht rechtzeitig ausgehändigt worden, so dass der Delinquent das eigentliche Rädern bis zum bitteren Ende erdulden musste. Anschließend wurde er, wie damals üblich, aufs Rad geflochten u. überlebte auch diese Tortur noch um zwanzig Minuten. - Etwas gebräunt u. tlw. leicht braunfleckig; ein gutes Expl. - Selten.

La médecine statique ou l'art de se conserver la santé par la transpiration; traduite en françois par feu M. Le Breton médecin de la Faculté de Paris.
P., Cl. Jombert, 1722, in 16, de 7ff.-219pp.-2ff., ill. d'un curieux front. gravé, pl. veau époque, dos orné, bon exemplaire. Première traduction française de la célèbre Médecine statique de l'ingénieux médecin italien Santorio mort en 1636. Peu d'ouvrages ont atteint un degré de célébrité comparable à celui-ci. Santorio fit le premier la distinction entre la transpiration insensible et la sueur, et introduisit les méthodes de mesure en physiologie : mesure de la température, du poids et du pouls. Pour ses expérimentations il avait fait fabriquer un siège mécanique suspendu et mu par des rouages si parfaits qu'il tenait lieu de balance très précise. Se pesant plusieurs fois par jour ainsi que ses aliments, il réussit à déterminer le poids et la quantité de transpiration et établit le rapport de celle-ci avec les aliments. La traduction est due au médecin alchimiste Jean Le Breton, l'auteur des Clefs de la philosophie spagyrique. ¶ Dezeimeris VII. 63 - Blake p.401 - Garrison-Morton n°573 "Sanctorius was the founder of the physiology of metabolism. He introduced into physiology exact methods of measurement, pulse counting, temperature determination, and weighing." - Dorbon n°4385.

The Fundamental Maxims of Civil Government.
Edinburgh: Printed for Mr. William Monro,, 1722. According to the Principles of the late Arch-Bishop of Cambray. Done from the French. Small octavo (140 x 91 mm), disbound from a pamphlet volume. Recent grey paper boards, title label to front board printed in black. A fine copy. First edition of the Roman Catholic archbishop, theologian, and poet's collection of aphorisms, published posthumously. It is likely to be a translation of "Maximes morales et politiques" from Les Aventures de Télémaque, Fénelon's hugely popular didactic novel first published anonymously in 1699 and reissued under his name in 1717. Télémaque, his scathing critique of the autocratic government of Louis XIV, recommends the introduction of a parliamentary system and the abolition of the mercantile system. It has been described as "the first prose poem in French" (Harvey and Heseltine, p. 270).

With an Account of Hawkins's Defacing Several Pictures in the Bodleian Library at Oxford: With a Proposed Project of Robbing the Harwich Mail. Written by Ralph Wilson, Late one of Their Confederates. London: Printed for J. Peele, At Locke's Head in Paternoster-Row, [1722?]. [ii], 29,  pp. Octavo (7-1/2" x 4-3/4"). Stab-stitched pamphlet bound into recent buckram, gilt title to spine. Moderate toning to text, light foxing to a few leaves, some soiling to title page, small owner bookplate to rear pastedown. $950. * First edition. John Hawkins was one of the great highwaymen of his day. Wilson gave evidence against Hawkins and Simpson (Sympson), an associate, when they were tried for the notorious Bristol Mail Robbery. (They were convicted and hanged.) As an interesting aside, the pamphlet discusses a time when Hawkins and Wilson visited Oxford and vandalized several paintings in the Bodleian Library. This account went through three more editions in 1722, another in 1723. All are scarce. OCLC Locates 2 copies of the first edition in North America (University of Minnesota, Yale Law School).

Paris: Jean-Luc Nion and François Didot, 1722. Four volumes. Titles in red and black. ,10,15- 370,; ,356,; ,310,; ,271,pp., with errors in pagination as issued. Frontispiece additional engraved title by I.B. Scotin, twenty-eight engraved plates and maps (twelve folding), including a double- sided plate of music. 12mo. Contemporary mottled calf, spines gilt, all edges stained red. Corners, spine extremities and edges slightly worn. Unobtrusive ownership inscription on titlepages, bookplate on front pastedowns. Very good. Rare first edition of an important illustrated contemporary history of the Indian nations in Canada and their relations with the French, including among the earliest printed views in Canada. Claude-Charles Le Roy de la Potherie, also called Bacqueville de la Potherie, arrived in New France in 1698 as comptroller of the Marine and of the fortifications in Canada. His work, published some twenty years before Charlevoix's great history, provides an eyewitness account and historical record of the region. "Bacqueville's account is in the form of letters, one of them describing the Cartier expedition and summarizing the next century and a half, but the history is mostly of the administrations of Frontenac, De la Barre, and Denonville, and as such is a contemporary account of that great period. The work contains much on the relations of New France with the English colonies and with the Indians" - Streeter. The first volume includes a detailed account of the capture of Fort Nelson. "His letters on the governments of Quebec, Trois-Rivieres, and Montreal offer a fairly complete picture of Canada. The descriptions of places and of the settlers' way of life, the notes on individuals, the statistics on population and sources of revenue show that nothing escaped La Potherie's attention and that he wanted his readers to be well informed" - CNB. The second volume is devoted to descriptions of the principal Indian nations and their relations with the French. The author relied on information from Louis Jolliet, the Jesuit missionaries, and Nicolas Perrot, and includes information provided to him verbally and not found in other accounts. The remaining two volumes are devoted the Iroquois wars and of the peace discussions which led to the general treaty of 1701, including extracts from the speeches to the chiefs of the various nations. Among the illustrations are a prospect of Quebec, a view of the taking of Fort Nelson, images of fur traders and Indians, and three folding engraved maps of Hudson Bay, Montreal, and La Nouvelle France. Although described by Sabin as "the earliest views taken in Canada" they are preceded by those of Champlain and Lahontan. Nevertheless, the engravings provide the best, and arguably most accurate, iconography of the customs and costume of early Native American culture in Canada. As noted by TPL and OCLC, although the first volume contains a gap in pagination between pages 10 and 15, the text is continuous and was issued with at least one cancelled leaf between; the gap in pagination, without the cancelled printer's error, is found in most extant examples.
