Description:
1672 Court Songs & Poems 1ed Poetaster Robert Veel English Charles VIII France

Robert Veel was a 17th-century English poet, who, according to most poet scholars, was a poetaster or…inferior poet. While living a rather less-than upright lifestyle, Veel was eager to fund his habits and life of folly, Veel wrote poetic verses in hopes to amuse others. He died at only 28 years old, but before he passed, Veel published, in 1672, a collection of long songs, poetic verses, and drinking shanties called "New Court Songs and Poems". One is particularly curious – a love song from Charles VIII of France!

Noel Taillepied was a 16th-century French author best-remembered for his book on supernatural and extraordinary phenomena.

1773 Benjamin Franklin 1ed Electricity Science Politic Philosophy Americana RARE

"Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing."
― Benjamin Franklin

PMM: "the most important scientific book of eighteenth-century America"

Known as one of the most important and prolific founding fathers of America, Benjamin Franklin wrote several works that have left a legacy in American history. In 1773, the works of Franklin were published (in French) for the first time. It was, at the time of publishing, the most complete early edition of Franklin's works of science, not just in French, but in any language. It included impressive illustrations depicting his science and social experiments. These works include studies on electricity and magnetism, art of swimming, meteors and astronomical wonders, medicines for common diseases, and much more.

This 1773 first French edition includes two volumes in one tome and features all twelve impressive illustrations.

Description:
1724 Famed BLACK BOOK 1ed Arms Order of the Garter ENGLAND Heraldry Illustrated
John Anstis was a 17th-century English heraldry historian who served as the King of Arms for the Order of the Garter. The Order of the Garter, established in the 14th-century, was one of the most prestigious chivalric orders in all of England. Because of his involvement in the order, Anstis began collection heraldic arms of noble officers and members and published them in an impressive work that was infamously called 'The Black Book'! More commonly called 'The Register of the order of the Garter', this two-volume work features huge, full-page displays of heraldic arms with detailed memoirs of each member.
According to Wagner in "Heralds of England".
"Glover, Camden and Dugdale are formidable names, yet it may be questioned whether Anstis did not in strictly heraldic learning surpass them all. In perusing his manuscript remains one is constantly astonished at the breadth and depth of his scholarship and his mastery of a… Read More

1799 Romance of the Rose Lorris Medieval de Meun Flamel Alchemy STUNNING 5v

"The more a man gazes on what he loves, the more he sets fire to his heart and bastes it with bacon fat."
― Guillaume de Lorris, The Romance of the Rose
The 'Roman de la Rose' is a famous 13th-century Medieval French poem written as an allegorical dream sequence. It was written by Guillaume de Lorris who sought to express the feelings of romantic love, sexuality, and chivalry. It was completed by Jean de Meung who continued the work begun by Lorris. Thought to be the most widely read book other than the Bible in the 13th- and 14th-centuries, it was highly influential on other authors, notably including Geoffrey Chaucer.

This absolutely stunning
18th-century edition was published in Paris printed in five beautiful vellum-bound volumes. This particular edition is of note, not just for containing the 'Roman de la Rose', but also a preface by Clement Marot, Meung's 'Life of Jean Clopinel', a short treatise on the alchemy of… Read More

1824 ARCTIC Voyage 1ed William Parry North Pole Eskimos Polar Exploration MAPS

An exceedingly rare and valuable 1824 edition of William Parry's personal account from his second voyage to the Northwest Passage. He was one of the first explorers to reach the North Pole, setting the record for the furthest north any human had reached! Parry recounts his interactions with Eskimos, navigations through fog and ice, viewing meteorological phenomena including the Aurora Borealis, and discovering new birds and plants.

The Arctic Bibliography says of this work:
"Abstracts from the author's journals of his three voyages to the Canadian arctic waters; of his attempt to reach the North Pole and his account of the Eskimos."

This work includes 38 impressive, engraved maps and illustrations after the sketches of Captain Lyon, many of which illustrated the domestic lives of Eskimos. It also includes a vocabulary of the Eskimo language. Note what these references say of this work.
