Volumes I & II printed in 1832 and volumes III & IV in 1833 " Signature is likely that of John Chipman(1744-1836) who was a member of the NS legislature 1776-1785 for Cornwallis Township as well as a barrister and judge. The author Beamish Murdoch was born in Halifax in1800, educated privately and was admitted to the Nova Scotia Bar in 1822. From 1826 to 1830 he represent Halifax in the House of Assembly, he was also the editor of the "Acadian Recorder" for a number of years, and the recorder for the city of Halifax from 1850 to 1860. He died in Lunenburg, N.S. in 1876."During his withdrawal from public affairs in the early 1830s, he prepared this four volume work, printed by Joseph Howe in 1832-1833. This work, which involved a detailed study of the provincial and English law, was modelled after Sir William Blackstone's "Commentaries". Murdoch's work was well received by the Maritime press and was apparently a significant contribution to both lawyers and law students" DCB Vol. X, p.540." Wear to spine & boards but binding is good. Some light damp staining and foxing throughout. Signature of John R (?) Chipman on f.e.p. (see note below) Contemporary 1/2 leather with marbled boards; red title label to spine.

Copper engraving, widest: 518 x 1436 mm, on two sheets and half-sheets joined, the Australia/South-East Asia/Far East sheet present both at left and right. London, Mount & Page,  Halley's sea chart of the world is one of the most important scientific maps ever published, the application of a brilliant scientific mind to one of the basic problems of navigation, and producing the first published world magnetic chart. Various dates have been given for its first publication, but an announcement in the Post Man (issue 1354) for 7th - 9th December 1704 gives some indication of its first appearance.   This chart is printed from a set of replacement plates copied from the original set. The title bears the imprint of Richard Mount and Thomas Page, appropriate for the period 1700 to 1722 (the year of Richard Mount's death) but the omission of the ten line panegyric to Queen Anne (d. 1714) and dedication to Prince George of Denmark (d. 1708), her husband, points to a publication date post-1714. The positions of these two features are left blank (central Africa and central Asia). Furthermore, an exemplar printed from the first set of plates is dateable to [ca. 1718], which narrow the window still more.   The general appearance of the plates points to this printing being a preliminary proof before the insertion of the lines of the variation of the compass (the main purpose of the chart) and with a blank space in the English title where the date could be inserted. The absence of engraving where the original panegyric and dedication were located also suggests that these areas were yet to be completed.   The likelihood is that the first set of plates were damaged; the [ca. 1718] printing referred to above shows evidence of plate cracking; perhaps these second plates were commissioned as replacements but, for whatever reason were not completed at the time, perhaps because of the death of Richard Mount or (slightly later) Mount and Page's publication of Thomas Haselden's world chart, on a more convenient format, gave them a more suitable map for their purposes.   As sometimes found on the second state, this example has the additional half-sheet, covering Australia and the Pacific, correctly pasted-on at right but, additionally, also added along the left-hand border.   This is the only recorded example of this early (presumed proof) printing of the second plates.   From the Library of the Earls of Macclesfield, though not offered as part of the Sotheby's sales.

"Anton Nuck practiced first at The Hague and then became professor of anatomy and surgery at Leyden in 1687. He was well known as an oculist, aurist and dentist. His studies of glands and lymph glands were noteworthy. His best known works were 'Sialographia et ductum aquosorum anatome nova', Leyden, 1695, and 'Adenographia', Leyden, 1692. .His anatomical description of the various glands were (sic) highly praised by Soemmering a century later. In anatomy, his name is perpetuated by the canal of Nuck." (R. H. Major, 'Hist. medicine', 1954). This set, the first collected edition, was made up from the sheets of the final editions of Nuck's works. See: G-M 1101 & 1213 for the original editions; Becker Ophthal. Coll. Cat., nos. 276 & 277.

Contemporary richly gold-tooled red goatskin morocco decorated a petit fers, gold-tooled turn-ins, board edges and raised bands, giving a total of more than 1500 impressions of about 14 stamps and 3 rolls, edges gilt over red and blue squiggles. Janssonius van Waesberge, who published Kircher's books in Amsterdam from 1664/65 to 1682, arranged to have copies of several luxuriously bound for Kircher to present to leading figures, and this is almost certainly one of them, presented to Giovanni Paolo Oliva, Superior General of the Jesuit Society. First and only edition of this work important for the theory of science. Its fundamental idea of connecting all branches of science in a common system is based upon the thoughts of Ramon Llull. "Represents the 17th century research for a universal language" (Merill) and is considered a "fascinating anticipation and precursor of computer science" for its treatment of the art of combinatorics. At the same time, it forms a manual of mnemotechnics and of a method of learning. - On 29 July 1661 Kircher contracted to have the Amsterdam bookseller Johannes Janssonius van Waesberge (1616-81) publish his books, including new editions of some previously published works as well as works not yet written. Kircher also had Van Waesberghe arrange for some copies of the books to be luxuriously bound for presentation to various luminaries. - No expense was spared to produce the present binding, and it bears the owner's inscription of Giovanni Paolo Oliva (1600-81), Superior General of the Jesuit Society, who granted the privileges for both volumes - an obvious candidate for a presentation copy. Moreover, the binding is nearly identical to that of the Morgan Library's copy of the same edition, using the same tools in a nearly identical arrangement: thus, a single binder made at least two virtually identical and extremely luxurious bindings for the same edition, a fact which strongly supports the notion that they were made as Kircher's presentation copies. - In a 1948 Sotheby's catalogue, Anthony Hobson attributes the binding of the copy now at the Morgan to the most famous Dutch binder of all time, Albert(us) Magnus (1642-89). Miner merely notes this attribution and the Morgan still attributes it to Magnus, but Nixon, discussing other Kircher books bound by Magnus, writes "I am less certain that . the Ars magna sciendi in the Landau-Finaly sale . does come from the same workshop". Similarly, De la Fontaine Verwey calls the attribution to Magnus "doubtful", and Foot writes that the binding "is decorated . with closely massed tools, which I have not found on any other Dutch binding of the period". High-quality Dutch bindings in richly gold-tooled morocco from the 1660s to the 1690s were once almost invariably attributed to Magnus, but Foot distinguishes about a dozen different Dutch workshops that finished bindings in this style, noting that some "show the same high level of craftsmanship and are decorated with tools very closely similar to those used by" Magnus. The fact that few of these groups of bindings have so far been linked to named bookbinders takes nothing away from the quality of the work. The present binding represents a workshop of the highest order that has so far been barely studied, and its large number of tools, with more than 1500 impressions of about 14 stamps and 3 rolls, gives a good overview of the workshop's equipment. The paper is of royal format, probably indicating a large-paper copy, since many copies seem to be 37 to 40 cm tall. - With the contemporary owner's inscription of Giovanni Paolo O.

"The Reciprocity Treaty was a special arrangement upon both countries by a long frontier, by the proximity of rich fishing grounds, and by the difficulty of drawing accurate and recognized boundaries upon the sea. while your vessels have swarmed in our waters for the past nine years, carrying off enormous values every year, we have not sent a vessel south during all that time, or caught a single cargo of fish on the coast, or in the bays of the United States."

"When I read this log after my brother's death in an automobile accident, I realized that Gantt had not only lived the dream of the typical weekend sailor (to take a year off and sail to distant places), he had also captured the experience in the type of detail that would enable such a sailor to identify with it, and that would give non-sailors a glimpse of the experience of an extended trip in a small boat .

Album. Photographic album, 15x11.5 inches, furnishing black construction-paper blanks, bound in fussy wooden boards paneled in leather and plastic, a presentation copy with twenty mounted photographs (graphics measure 7x7 inches with wide black borders) on matte white stock, ergo not glossy photographic stock and probably not from the negative). The captions are handwritten in white-ink calligraphy, each photo guarded with spider-web glassine leaf, as is the title leaf which spells out the recipient (see below) whose glassine is badly torn but not a throwaway because autographed by five males, most likely Angolan government persons. While plates are fine, the album is poor, having lost its upper cover through failure of the cover joint. As is, an oddity. Pedestrian western architecture showing few citizens or automobiles.

Rishell served as mayor from 1949 to 1961 and was known as the "Ambassador of Goodwill for Oakland".

Second state of Blaeu's celebrated and influential map of Virginia, from the 1640 edition of "Ex Theatrum Obis Terrarum." "Dutch publishers, responding to the demand for Smith's map, contributed to the dissemination of information about Virginia. Jodocus Hondius's "Nova Virginiae Tabula," printed in Amsterdam in 1618, was the first derivative of the Smith map. Willem Janszoon Blaeu purchased Hondius's plate in 1629 and used it with little alteration for the next forty-two years" - Stephenson & McKee.
