London: , 1782-3. 7 works bound in 1 volume, octavo (202 x 125 mm). Contemporary half calf, marbled paper boards, red morocco label to spine, compartments ruled in gilt. Armorial bookplate to front pastedown of the Kinnaird baronetcy of Perthshire. Pages trimmed in the binding process, most noticeable on the title pages, very good copies. Six early individual works and one duplicate by the Scottish agriculturalist and politician, bound together presumably at his request. Thoughts on the Naval Strength of the British Empire (the fifth pamphlet included in this volume) "began what was to become a vast list of publications" (ODNB) by Sinclair, and he wrote prolifically on agriculture, political economy, government finance, and health. Between 1790-1 he produced the vast 21-volume Statistical Account of Scotland, for which he is generally credited with the first use of the word "statistics" in the English language. The Sinclair family owned about a quarter of Caithness county during the 18th and 19th centuries, and Sinclair began his political career by representing it at the general election of 1780. He shaped much of the surrounding countryside, having planned the town of Thurso and encouraged the establishment of the British fishing industry in nearby Wick. He was also a major catalyst behind the creation of the Board of Agriculture in 1793 of which he was the first president. Despite needing a house in London for his political career, his family home was in Edinburgh. In 1791, the farmer and journalist James Anderson wrote to Jeremy Bentham: "Of Sir John Sinclair you entertain, with justice, a high opinion, respecting his industry and application. In these respects, perhaps, I know no man who is his equal, and I believe his dispositions at bottom are very good... he has the art of picking up ideas from one and another, and then bringing them out in some measure as his own. He may thus be the means of doing much good, and... he has, in this way, been already of much use, and may be of more" (Milne, letter 782). Bound up together are the following texts: 1. Lucubrations During a Short Recess. London: printed for J. Debrett, 1782. Bound without the half-title. First edition of the author's second work which provides a theoretical support to the idea of parliamentary reform. 2. Duplicate copy of Lucubrations During a Short Recess as described above. 3. Lucubrations during a Short Recess containing A Plan for a More Equal Representation of the People. London: printed for J. Debrett, 1783. With the one-page publisher's advertisement to the rear.

Title page with annotation in ink "from the author" trimmed in the binding process, corrections made in ink to 12 pages. First edition. Goldsmiths' 12502. 5.

French composer (1782-1871), who focused mostly on opera, composing almost 50 of them - his most important creations include Fra Diavolo and La Muette de Portici.

Auber mentions that in the past, a previous director has agreed to help. One page, sized 5 x 8 inches, in excellent condition. ALSO INCLUDED is a vintage print of the composer, sized 9.25 x 12.5 inches (actual image is 7.5 x 5.75 inches), a perfect companion to the letter if framed together. See photos.

Hamburg, Matthiessen 1782.. 82 S. Rückenbroschur. Hayn/Got. V, 138; Estreicher II, 469. - Krasicki (1735-1801) gilt als bedeutender Vertreter der polnischen Literatur der Aufklärung. Aus seiner Freundschaft mit Friedrich dem Großen resultierte diese satirische Schrift.
