Unmounted Page. Condición: Very Good. A clean and unblemished photo view in a curious green ink of an unidentified substantial warehouse. On the third floor is a person seemingly stood on the window ledge cleaning windows, or possibly just unhappy with working conditions in the building. In the foreground of the vast building and to the left side can be seen the commercial life of such a building with horse and cart, early motorised vehicles, and a substantial railway line. The illustrations found in leading architectural journals of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, such as The Builder, Building News, and The Architect are masterpieces of visual craftsmanship. These illustrations capture the elegance, intricacy, and stylistic flair of the periodÃ"ÃÃs architecture. Rich in ornamental detail and atmospheric depth, they reflect not only the buildings themselves but the artistic sensibilities and design discourse of their age. THIS IS AN ORIGINAL PAGEâ" áFROM THE JOURNAL, PRINTED AT THE DATE SHOWN IN THE TITLE, NOT A REPRINT OR COPY. Size: 18 x 27 cms.

No Binding. Condición: Good. An extremely rare permit issued under British India's highly lucrative, highly oppressive salt tax. Single pink paper leaf 34x22cm, printed in English, Urdu and Hindi to both sides, with official ink stamp, ms entries in English and Hindi, and signatures. Good, folded into quarters, some ink smudging, and minor roughness along the top edge where presumably it was pulled from a permit book. The printer's code dates the form to 28-2-[18]88, with ms entries dated December 1888 to January 1889. The British applied strict controls on Indian salt manufacture to protect its own industry back home. In 1879, they took control of the Sambhar Salt Lake in Rajasthan, enabling them to tax salt at the point of manufacture. The India Salt Act (1882) enforced a Government monopoly under which salt could only be made, handled and taxed at official salt depots. This system replaced the 2,500 mile long Internal Customs Line (most of which was the densely planted "Great Hedge") to prevent salt being smuggled in from areas then not under British control. The form contains the large circular ink stamp of the Sambhur (Sambhar) Inland Customs, and signatures of the Assistant Commissioner, Northern India Salt Reserve (NISR), the Officer weighing the despatch, and Officer clearing the despatch. The front contains a 10 column table with the ms entries given in brackets where legible as follows: Number (13069); Date of issue (31 12 88); Trader's and consignee's names (?); Description of carriage (6 camels); Quantity of Salt (45 Maunds, 0 Seers); Price realised at (4) annas per Maund (Rs 11, 4 Annas, 0 Pice); Duty realised (Rs 112, 8 Annas, 0 Pice); Place and date of payment: Name of treasury (Sambhur), Number and Date of Receipt (No. 230D / 29 12 88); Destination of the salt and route by which proceeding (Jamb---(?)); and Remarks (Hira Lall). A "Salt from Store No." field has not been filled. The back contains the "Endorsement of Weightment and Clearance of the Salt Entered in the Rawanna", both signed and dated 4/1/89.…

(Halle, Rengerschen Buchhandlung, 1799). Without wrappers. In "Annalen der Physik. Herausgegeben von Ludwig Wilhelm Gilbert", Bd. 2, Erstes Stück. (The entire issue offered). 1-118 a. 2 folded engraved plates. Cavendish's paper: pp. 1-62. (the torsion balance of Michell shown on the plates). First German edition of Cavendish's famous paper in which he calculated the weight of the earth and determined its mass. He also, as the first, observed gravitational motion of minute portions of matter. He estimates the earth's mass to 6,6 x 10 to the potential of 24 kg. The original paper "Experiments to determine the Density of the Earth" appeared in Philosophical Transaction, 1798."Cavendish published five papers between 1784 and 1809.With one exception they were comparatively minor productions.The exception was his determination of the density of the earth or weighing of the world in 1798, by means of John Michell's torsion balance. The apparatus consisted of two lead balls on either end of a suspended beam" these movable balls were attracted by a pair of stationary lead balls. Cavendish calculated the the force of attraction between the balls fro the observed period of oscillation of the balance and deduced the density of the earth from the force. He found it to be 5.48 times that of water. Cavendish was the first to observe gravitational motions induced by comparatively minute portions of ordinary matter.By weighing the world he rendered the law of gravitation complete. The law was no longer a proportionally statement but a quantitatively exact one" this was the most importent addition to the science of gravitation since Newton."(DSB III, p. 158.).The issue contains further papers by Ritter, Chladni et al.…
