FIRST EDITION of this important work in botanical classifi cation. In this book, Adanson proclaimed his contempt for Linneaen systems. Adanson had been sent to Senegal in 1748 to catalogue the natural resources of the country. “The bewildering diversity of tropical vegetation made the systems of classifi cation proposed by Tournefort and Linnaeus appear pitifully inadequate, based as they had been on the wild fl ora of Europe and a limited number of cultivated plants...he concluded that, by making a large limited number of systems and then putting together those plants which belonged together in the greatest number of systems without attaching greater importance to one set of characters than another, he could make one generally satisfactory natural system” (Hunt Cat., Introduction, pp. xcii-xciii).

12mo (160 x 97 mm). 3 folding engraved plates, initial blank, errata and publisher’s catalogue at end. (Minor marginal toning to some gutters, occasional spots.) Contemporary calf (rebacked preserving original spine and endpapers, upper fore-corners worn). Provenance: Ferguson of Raith (armorial bookplate).

FIRST EDITION OF THE FIRST TREATISE ON PHOTOMETRY. As the discoverer of a practical method of measuring the intensity of light, Bouguer was the founder of this branch of optics. A youthful prodigy who established himself early in life as the leading French authority on nautical matters, Bouguer merely dabbled in optics as a hobby. Nevertheless, the Essai contains two fundamental contributions to the subject. The first was his method of using the naked eye «not as a meter but as a null indicator, i.e., to establish the equality of brightness of two adjacent surfaces» (DSB), and then applying Kepler’s law of inverse squares. His second discovery concerned the transmission of light through transparent surfaces: “In a medium of uniform transparency the light remaining in a collimated beam is an exponential function of the length of its path in the medium. This law was restated by J. H. Lambert in his Photometria (1760) and, perhaps because of the great rarity of copies of Bouguer›s Essai, is sometimes unjustifi ably referred to as Lambert’s law” (op. cit.). Norman 283.

He was able to identify previously unknown diseases, distinguishing between progressive muscular atrophy, labioglossolaryngeal paralysis, progressive muscular atrophy with pseudohypertrophy, and locomotor ataxia. “Duchenne classifi ed the electrophysiology of the entire muscular system and summed up his fi ndings in the above work. The application of his results to pathological conditions marks him as the founder of electrotherapy” (Garrison & Morton).

FIRST EDITION of Evelyn’s translation. “The preface to the work strikes a new note in English architectural theory. The true model of architecture resides in antiquity, but not all examples of antique architecture are now considered worthy of imitation. The essential can be grasped only after painstaking study and analysis of the originals, and a fi rm rejection of all distortions and developments. This meant, in effect, that only the Greek models were to be upheld” (Millard).

The fi nal drawing in the smaller notebook has an incomplete series of six drawings that demonstrate the technique used by Terver to achieve his fi ne results drawing mollusk shells.

Ange Paulin Terver was a French malacologist, and member of the Société linnéenne de Lyon. He was curator of its zoological collections from 1849 to 1872. In 1853 he became a member of the Société d’agriculture de Lyon, serving as secretary of the Commission des soies from 1853 to 1868.

FIRST SEPARATE EDITION. The ideas previously expressed in Minkowski’s fi rst paper on space-time did not become widely known until he expanded them the following year. “In this paper ‘Space and Time,’ read by Minkowski in Cologne only a few months before his death, he introduced the notion that made possible the expansion of the relativity theory of Einstein from its specifi c to its general form. The technical description of Minkowski’s hypothesis is the four-dimensional space-time continuum... Minkowski maintained that the separation of time and space is a false conception; that time is itself a dimension, comparable to length, breadth and height; and that therefore the true conception of reality was constituted by a space-time continuum possessing these four dimensions…” PMM 401. 59 [MURRAY, Charlotte, Lady].

FIRST EDITION of this rare work on algae, mosses and ferns. FROM THE LIBRARY OF WILLIAM WITHERING. Although best known for his pioneer work on use of extracts of foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) to treat dropsy (edema), a condition associated with heart failure, Withering was also an avid enthusiast in the identifi cation and classifi cation of lichens, algae and mosses. He kept lichen among his herbarium, and enumerated 118 species in genus Lichen in his Botanical Arrangement of all the Vegetables Naturally Growing in Great Britain, published in 1776. Withering was meticulous, almost obsessional, in his observation and recording of plants. His work on the fl owering plants was largely derived from others, but on the algae and agarics he broke new ground. AN IMPORTANT ASSOCIATION COPY.

91 ALBERTI, Leon Battista (1404-1472). De re aedificatoria. Florence: Nicolaus Laurentii Alamanus, 29 December 1485.

Folio (262 x 187 mm). Collation: a-d8 e6 f-o8 p6 q-z8 &8 Ɔ8♃8 (a1r blank, a1v dedication to Lorenzo de’Medici, a2r text, ♃7v colophon, ♃8r verse to the reader by “Baptista siculus,” ♃8v registrum). 204 leaves, 34 lines. Type: 111Rb. 6- and 7-line initial spaces with printed guide- letters. (Small mostly marginal worm-holes to ca 55 leaves at beginning and end occasionally touching letters, mostly marginal spotting.) 20th-century red morocco gilt (some light wear, a few sheets trimmed affecting marginal annotations). Provenance: Marginal annotations in a Renaissance hand; numerous spurious marginal notes and diagrams in a later “Leonardesque” styled hand in mirror-writing and with diagrams based on his codices (see below); William Marquess of Lothian (armorial bookplate); Emil Richter, Berliner Museum (note in ink on recto of ff.1, see below); acquired by a private individual in 1951; by descent to present owner.

FIRST EDITION OF THE FIRST PRINTED TREATISE ON ARCHTECTURE, presumed earlier setting, with the last quire set in Roman letter as throughout (not Nerlius, see BMC). According to Fowler, Alberti began work on his treatise in the middle of the 15th-century and enhanced and revised the work until his death in 1472. Some thirteen years later, his work was published due to the efforts of his brother. Alberti, who was architect of several important Renaissance buildings including the Basilica of San Sebastiano and Sant’Andrea in Mantua, and the Santa Maria Novella and the Rucellai Palace in Florence, based his work, based on Vitruvius’s De Architectura, is divided into ten books describing the building of palaces and churches, and describing materials, construction, and ornament for sacred and secular buildings, as well as a section devoted to the restoration of buildings.

“In accordance with classical principles, the principal elements of architecture are defined as beauty and ornament. Beauty is essentially harmony, the correct proportions of the parts” Alberti considers architecture not only for ecclesiastical purposes or private patrons, but for the first time particularly as a civic activity. His book includes a scheme for building a whole new town, the earliest printed example of town planning” (PMM).

With spurious marginal annotations and drawings in brown in a “Leonardesque” hand on 8 leaves (occurring on ff. 7r, 21v, 30v, 44v, 76v, 131r, 164r and 203v), the last being signed “Leonardo da Vinci.” A 24 April 1924 note in German from Emil Richter, the Berliner Museum, describes the annotations as being in the hand of Leonardo da Vinci (“kamm ich Betätigen dass diselben in eigener Hand von Leonardo da Vinci sind”). Though the handwriting and method of writing do bear some similarity to that of Leonardo (including the use of mirror-writing), the drawings, including a partial sketch of a hygrometer, are apparently copied from known examples by Leonardo, and the inscriptions are possibly later.
