The Botany of the Antarctic Voyage of H.M. Discovery Ships Erebus and Terror in the Years 1839 - 1843

- Hardcover
Weinheim: J. Cramer, 1966. Facsimile reprint. Three vols thick octavo, + one volume folio, pp xiv, 574; xl, 312, 378; cxxviii, 360, 422; + 528 plain illustrations, one small mark to the fore-edge of Volume III, otherwise a very good clean set weighing over 7 kilos before packing. EXTREMELY SCARCE [The Ross expedition was a voyage of scientific exploration of the Antarctic in 1839 to 1843, led by James Clark Ross, with two unusually strong warships, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror. It explored what is now called the Ross Sea and discovered the Ross Ice Shelf. On the expedition, Ross discovered the Transantarctic Mountains and the volcanoes Erebus and Terror, named after his ships. The Joseph Dalton Hooker made his name on the expedition. The expedition inferred the position of the South Magnetic Pole, and made substantial observations of the zoology and botany of the region. The expedition was the last major voyage of exploration made wholly under sail. Among the expedition's biological discoveries was the Ross seal, a species confined to the pack ice of Antarctica. Hooker's contribution totalled six volumes (parts III and IV each being in two volumes), covered about 3000 species, and contained over 500 plates figuring in all 1095 of the species described. It was throughout "splendidly" illustrated by Walter Hood Fitch. Hooker gave Charles Darwin a copy of the first part of the Flora; Darwin thanked him, and agreed in November 1845 that the geographical distribution of organisms would be "the key which will unlock the mystery of species".]. Cloth. Very Good.

Description:
1537 1ed Orthodox Saint John Chrysostom On the Priesthood + Brixius MarburgA rare 16th-century printing of works of John Chrysostom. Chrysostom was one of the most important Early Christian Church authors and preachers and is most remembered for his sermons and homilies. He preached on many different subjects, but his most frequented topic was helping the needy. Chrysostom calls for followers of Jesus to set aside their material desires to help the poor, often in a way that shamed the rich and guilted them in to giving.
"Do you pay such honor to your excrements as to receive them into a silver chamber-pot when another man made in the image of God is perishing in the cold?" (Chrysostom in Liebeschuetz)
One of his most important treatises was 'On the Priesthood' in which he describes his experiences becoming a priest and living as a priest. Interestingly, this work was popular during his lifetime as he made references to it in his other works.
This extremely rare 16th-century edition of 'On the… Read More

Description:
1586 Jansen BIBLE & Commentary Proverbs Song of Solomon Catholic Jansenism RARECornelius Jansen was an early 17th-century bishop from Flanders known for his involvement in the movement known as Jansenism. He wrote numerous biblical commentaries including "Commentary on Proverbs of Solomon". First published in 1567, Jansen's 'Proverbs' is a chapter-by-chapter commentary on Proverbs based on the original Hebrew text with comparisons to the book of Song of Solomon.
This particular 1586 edition of Jansen's Proverbs commentary is considerably rare – in fact, according to the USTC, only five examples are known to exist in institutions worldwide!

Description:
1572 Plutarch Moralia Greek Philosophy Essays Oracles Superstition Basel Vellum'Moralia' is one of only two surviving works of Greek philosopher Plutarch. While not as widely known or recognized as 'Parallel Lives,' 'Moralia' is still a rather important work. It is a collection of seventy-eight various essays and transcribed speeches each of which provide an understanding of Roman and Greek life in the 1st-century AD. These essays have been known to make a significant impact on Enlightenment thinkers such as Montaigne. The list of topics covered in 'Moralia' is quite varied but all fall into the category of self-improvement or cultural improvement. Such topics include how to educate children, how to teach and learn virtue, the value of friendship, validity of oracles and superstition, causes of natural phenomena, and the talkativeness of women!

1677 Sallust Catiline Conspiracy Jugurthine War + 1708 Alexander the Great RufusA rare pairing of two printings of ancient literature from Sallust and Curtius. Curtius Rufus is primarily remembered for his commentary on the life of Alexander the Great, perhaps the best early account of Alexander the Great's reign. In addition to Curtius, this two-volume lot includes the works on the Catiline Conspiracy of Sallust with commentary by numerous contributions such as Johann Rivius, Janus Palmerius, and perhaps most famously Aldus Manutius.

In clear, concise text and exceptional, full color photographs, noted science author Seymour Simon explains how different types of glaciers and icebergs are formed, how they move, and how they affect life on Earth. He also explores some of their mysteries: Can icebergs be used as a source of fresh water for dry lands? And will the ice ages return, covering the continents with glaciers as they did twenty thousand years ago?
