Less obviously, the play satirizes the battle between the pirates and the publisher. The long title of the play is The Humours of Whist. A Dramatic Satire, as Acted every Day at White&#39;s and other Coffee-Houses and Assemblies. The play was never performedÃ¢&#128;&#148;but all the behavior being satirized must have been evident every day at the coffee houses where gaming took place. This is an early and rare pamphlet.

Kinsky-Halm, p. 71. Hirsch IV, 267. DorfmÃ¼ller-Weinhold, p. 211. Hoboken 2, 153. &#11;&#11;"Between the Op. 18 Quartets and those of Op. 59 lie about six or seven years and the &#39;Eroica.&#39; A whole world, in Beethoven&#39;s terms... The bridge between the two worlds is built of works other than quartets, and the only piece of chamber music for strings belonging to this interim stage is the splendid Quintet in C, Op. 29 (with two violas), which lies nearer to the first than to the second period. This work, which may be in some ways regarded as a crown to Op. 18, is still shamefully neglected. As a whole it has greater breadth and economy of line than even the F major Quartet, Op. 18, No. 1... Although there is a sufficiency of accomplished five-part writing and one gets the strong impression for much of the time that the quintet is... an enriched quartet, Beethoven contrives also to create from time to time an almost orchestral richness and weight, especially in the vividly resourceful &#39;storm finale."

Paris: Imprimerie de Didot jeune, 1802. Pierre-Joseph RedoutÃ© was one of the world&#39;s great flower painters. Born into a family that had been painters for at least two generations, RedoutÃ© went to Paris in 1782 with his brother where they worked as scene painters for the ThÃ©Ã¢tre italien. RedoutÃ© painted flowers in his spare time. The search for subjects led him to the Jardin du Roi and eventually Gerard van Spaendonck who made him an assistant. While at the Jardin du Roi, RedoutÃ© came to know Charles-Louis L&#39;Heritier, an amateur botanist and writer of independent means. He gave RedoutÃ© a full time job as an illustrator, instructing him in plant anatomy. RedoutÃ©&#39;s understanding of plants contributed greatly to the clarity of his depictions. But it was RedoutÃ©&#39;s work in stipple engraving and colour printing that was to be of the greatest importance. Stippling and the application of two or three colour inks to one plate were engraving innovations that RedoutÃ© brought to French printmaking, and these were brought to perfection in Les LiliacÃ©es from which this work comes. Les LiliacÃ©es is one of two RedoutÃ© masterworks, the other being Les Roses . These works demonstrate the appropriateness of the accolade "Raphael of Flowers", for one is constantly impressed by the exquisite compositional sense and clarity of vision. More than with any other painter, one sees in RedoutÃ©&#39;s flowers living, breathing beings at their most beautiful moment. Cf. Nissen BBI 1597; cf.Great Flower Books (1990), p 128; cf. Dunthorne p 231; cf. Stafleu & Cowan TL2 8747; cf. MacPhaeil, Redouteana, 10. Stipple engraving, printed in colour and finished by hand, engraved by Langlois jeune.

First edition of this richly illustrated first-hand account of the Battle of the Nile. Cooper Willyams (1762&#150;1816), topographer and artist, was ordained in 1784. In 1797, he became domestic chaplain to the earl of St Vincent before he, a year later, began serving as chaplain of HMS Swiftsure, captained by Benjamin Hallowell. Willyams was on board the Swiftsure during the Nile battle and "his account, full of engravings from his own drawings contained 'the first, the most particular, and the most authentic account of the battle'" (ODNB).

London: J.Hatchard, 1802 Octavo, boards, xiipp + 320ppFirst edition of the greatest work of the 19th century on monetary theory. Stephens writes that "It gives a comprehensive account of the workings of the money market at the date of its publication, and of the attitude in which the Bank of England stood towards the rest of the commercial world. As Bank Director, the author was peculiarly qualified to explain the inner mechanisms of the financial system. He insists that over-issue would depreciate the value of notes, but does not consider that the bank issue of the Bank of England is excessive".Kress B4612. Goldsmith 18526. Stephens, p.32.

. Paris, Museum d'Histoire Naturelle, 1802-1897. 4to. 2,048 copper engravings and lithographed plates of which many double-sized or larger, and/or hand-coloured or in chromolithography, and seven portraits. Contemporary uniform marbled boards with morocco labels on the spines in different colours for the different series; original printed wrappers of several issues bound in (Annales, Memoires, Nouvelle Annales), and near contemporary uniform cloth bindings with red morocco labels (Archives and Nouvelles Archives, first series), and original printed wrappers (last two series of the Nouvelles Archives). * Very rare set, seldom seen complete, of the most important scientific natural history journal published in France during the 19th century. There are in total 84 volumes in 4to with over 2,000 engraved and lithographed plates, of which over 250 are hand-coloured or in chromolithography. This work contains the contributions of all the famous French naturalists of the 19th century, in many cases the first publication(s) of these authors, or at least in their first editions, and often their most important research and results. In the Annales, for instance, Cuvier published his important series on molluscan anatomy, while his rival Lamarck contributed with his monograph of the fossil shells of the Paris Basin. Ornithology is well-represented. For instance: De Blainville, le Dodo, autrement Dronte (Didus ineptus L.) with four lithographed plates one being a beautiful hand-coloured head of the dodo by G. de Bierre. Another important "first" is Geoffroy St-Hilaire's "Descriptions des Mammiferes nouveaux ou imparfaitement connus: famille des Singes" with eight lithographed plates of which two are coloured, one of which is the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes L.) and appears to be the first monograph, antedating that of Owen by seven years. A herpetological; treasure is De Blainville's "Description de quelques especes de reptiles de la Californie". Throughout all series there is also much on entomology, and more on conchology/malacology, including palaeontology, ichthyology and studies on crustaceans. Authors included are Cuvier, Valenciennes, Audouin, Lamarck, Becquerel, H. and A. Milne-Edwards, Brongniart, Jussieu, Tulasne, De Serres, Dumeril, Thouin, Deleuze, Fourcroy, Vauquelin a.o. Among the entomological titles we find, e.g., the following works by Lyonet: "Anatomie de differentes especes d'insectes" (a long series, with plates by W. de Haan), Lacordaire's "Essai sur les coleopteres de la Guyane Francaise", an illustrated paper by Boisduval on Macrolepidoptera from Madagascar, Mauritius and Reunion, inaptly titled "Considerations generales"; Audouin and Brulle's "Description des especes nouvelles ou peu connues de la famille des cicindeletes", with nice large hand-coloured plates, Raffray's "Coleopteres de la famille des paussides"; Paul Gervais' paper titled "remarques sur la famille des scorpions et description de plusiers especes nouvelles de la collection du Museum", and more. Pere David, first westerner to see the deer named after him and the giant panda, published his travel diaries in the Nouvelles Archives, with many zoological observations, and this came with a string of papers by Vaillant, Sauvage, Heude, and others on the specimens of birds, fish, molluscs and other animals he collected. Over the years many papers included in this series have been sold separately for considerable prices. In all it can be stated that these publications by the natural history museum of Paris do not only contain a great deal of zoological, palaeontological, geological and (bio)chemical observations and discoveries, but also provided a platform for many new ideas and concepts about how the natural world is organized and how it is developing. Some rubbing to boards, and especially to spine ends. Ten parts of the Nouvelles Archives with renewed spine, a few text parts with brittle edges (and, however, very wide margins), a few text sections and plates spotted or age-toned, but much less so than usual; a few sections, including plates with some offsetting (more obtrusive in a few sections of the Memoires), some minor creasing, a few captions shaved and some minor, usually marginal dampstaining. See the collation for a detailed list of irregularities, including reversals of plate orders including plate 5 of Nouvelles Archives volume 4 perhaps being issued later and here bound in volume 5. In all a very impressive, and complete set. Nissen ZBI, 4551, 4552, 4560, 4561, 4677.(Postage on this item might be more than indicated, please inquire).

Imprimerie de Didot jeune, Paris 1802 - Pierre-Joseph Redouté was one of the world's great flower painters. Born into a family that had been painters for at least two generations, Redouté went to Paris in 1782 with his brother where they worked as scene painters for the Théâtre italien. Redouté painted flowers in his spare time. The search for subjects led him to the Jardin du Roi and eventually Gerard van Spaendonck who made him an assistant. While at the Jardin du Roi, Redouté came to know Charles-Louis L'Heritier, an amateur botanist and writer of independent means. He gave Redouté a full time job as an illustrator, instructing him in plant anatomy. Redouté's understanding of plants contributed greatly to the clarity of his depictions. But it was Redouté's work in stipple engraving and colour printing that was to be of the greatest importance. Stippling and the application of two or three colour inks to one plate were engraving innovations that Redouté brought to French printmaking, and these were brought to perfection in Les Liliacées from which this work comes. Les Liliacées is one of two Redouté masterworks, the other being Les Roses . These works demonstrate the appropriateness of the accolade "Raphael of Flowers", for one is constantly impressed by the exquisite compositional sense and clarity of vision. More than with any other painter, one sees in Redouté's flowers living, breathing beings at their most beautiful moment. Cf. Nissen BBI 1597; cf.Great Flower Books (1990), p 128; cf.

Philadelphia: Printed for The Editor & Elizabeth Dickens. 1802. First. Periodical. Folio. A set of four weekly issues from June, 1802. (Volume 2, Nos. 22-25). Each weekly issue consists of eight pages, untrimmed as originally published, and professionally sewn into one set of four consecutive issues. Browning and scattered foxing, with two partial columns (seven and two inches) clipped from the last leaf of the first issue (pp. 175-176), else good. Contains the first American appearance of a sensational burlesque version of "Little Red Riding Hood" (pages 173-174). First published anonymously in Tales of Terror (London, 1801), a collection of ballads satirizing the gothic writings of Matthew Gregory "Monk" Lewis, this account of the nursery tale is notably grimmer than the 1812 Brothers Grimm version. The Port Folio was an important Federalist literary magazine founded in Philadelphia in 1801 and edited by Joseph Dennie under the pen name "Oliver Oldschool, Esq." Also included in the June 5th issue are obituary notices for Martha Washington, "widow of the late illustrious general," and Sara Jay, "the amiable and much respected wife of his excellency John Jay." .

The certainty of its criticism and its grasp of human nature have made it the first and greatest classic of modern economic thought.? (PMM 221). The present, much admired French translation of Smith's ?Wealth of Nations?, by the French poet and economist Comte Germain Garnier (1754-1821), became the standard, definitive French text. (Palgrave 1894-1901). Garnier's elegant Preface to this edition contains a summary of the doctrine of Smith, a comparison between the same and that of French economists, and a parallel between the wealth of France and that of England. - - The present set is the scarce corrected issue, published without the 5 errata slips (one to each volume) and conforms to Einaudi's 5340 description.
