Description:
Picture scroll, on paper, discussing & illustrating garden designs of the Muromachi period (1335-1573) in Japan. Ten large brush & ink drawings of gardens, with much manuscript text & accompanying illustrations of varieties of rocks. Scroll (365 x 6270 mm.), outer blue endpaper at beginning (paper a little wrinkled), wooden core roller. [Japan]: copies of texts written in 1395, 1475, 1509, & 1523; compiled mid-Edo. A handsomely illustrated picture scroll discussing and depicting Japanese garden design considerations, derived from four texts composed in 1395-1523 during the troubled Muromachi period. These texts were all based on the Sakuteiki 作庭記 [Notes on Garden Making], which originally appeared in the late 11th century and was the first work on garden design in Japan and possibly in the world. Another work which influenced this scroll is the Sagaryū niwa kohō hidden no sho 嵯峨流庭古法秘伝の書[The Secret Book of Saga-Style Gardening], composed in the 14th century. Garden… Read More

A good run, apparently lacking only the final volume, of the serial publication of Beijing guxue yuan, the Beijing Academy for Ancient Studies, was founded in 1937 following the Japanese occupation of northern China, including Beijing.

Description:
43 parts in 16 vols. 8vo, orig. wrappers, new stitching. [China]: Zhan yi tang, Prefaces dated 1790 & 1791. First edition. Zhao (1727-1814), "was an important poet and historian from Yanghu. He was born poor and supported himself at first as a private tutor. In 1761 he passed the imperial examination and in a long career served in many official capacities. Upon being appointed the prefect of Zhenan, Guangxi province, in 1766, he showed himself to be a reformer, dedicated to helping the common people. From 1784 to 1786 he became the director of the Anting Academy in Yangzhou. In addition to writing a collection of 'poetry talk' (critical notes on poetry), he wrote a dynastic history, histories of military campaigns, and other important works. He was a friend of Yuan Mei (1716-1798) and was considered along with Yuan Mei and the poet and playwright Jiang Shiquan (1725-1785) one of the three greatest poets of Southern China."-Barnstone & Chou, eds., The Anchor Book of Chinese Poetry, p. 339.

Description:
Eight vols. 8vo, orig. wrappers, orig. stitching. [China]: 1853. Rare copy of a commercial edition of a historiographical work. The "twenty-two histories" of the title refer to the so-called dynastic or standard histories (zhengshi 正史), a retrospective bibliographical category encompassing books written between the early first century CE and the Mingshi 明史 [History of the Ming] from the 18th century. Both the scope and the format of the histories made them inaccessible to readers into the late imperial period, which motivated commercial abridgments such as our book. "Despite the much greater availability of the Histories during and after the seventeenth century, they still remained expensive, especially to poor young scholars...Even as late as the 1840s, one poor scholar...acquire[d] not a set of the 24 Histories (then available), but a complete set of the 17 Histories in Canton...Half a century later the situation was no better, despite the fact that lithography had been introduced in… Read More

First edition in Japanese of this collection of translations from a variety of Western ophthalmological texts. NLM suggests the author was Paul Silex (1858-1929), but this is clearly impossible. The present work is the earliest work published in Japan on Western techniques in ophthalmology, preceding the Ika zensho ganka-hen of 1879 (see Mestler, A Galaxy of Old Japanese Medical Books, IV, p. 336. The attractive plates, all finely hand-colored, depict ophthalmological instruments and a series of surgical procedures. Fine and fresh set.

"Bunsen compiled his research on the phenomena of gases into his only book, Gasometrische Methoden (1857). This work brought gas analysis to a level of accuracy and simplicity reached earlier by gravimetric and titrimetric techniques. Dividing the book into six parts, Bunsen presented methods of collecting, preserving, and measuring gases; techniques of eudiometric analysis; new processes for determining the specific gravities of gases; results of investigations on the absorption of gases in water and alcohol using an absorptiometer he himself devised; and results of experiments on gaseous diffusion and combustion."-D.S.B., II, p. 588. A very clean copy of a book that is often foxed. ❧ Partington, IV, p. 286. Sparrow, Milestones of Science, 33-(1st English edition of the same year).

He was magnificently appreciated in his own day, a situation in which few writers are happy enough to find themselves. He was eulogised by one of his admirers as having produced a work second only to the Bible."­Fussell, The Old English Farming Books, III, p. 13. Brown, a farmer who practiced several important experiments on his property, contributed many articles to the Edinburgh Farmer's Magazine, of which he was editor for fifteen years. Nice uncut copy.

Finely handcolored engraved frontis. map & two folding engraved plates (one with some foxing). [3]-15, 314 pp. 8vo, cont. polished half-cal & marbled boards, flat spine gilt, blue morocco lettering piece on spine. London: B. Macmillan for G. Nicol et al., 1797. Second and fullest edition; a preliminary version had been published as a 92-page quarto in 1794. The first of six contributions by Young to the extraordinary series of county agricultural surveys inaugurated by Sir John Sinclair, when he became the first president of the new Board of Agriculture in 1793. Young in fact had misgivings about the vast project, and complained privately of Sinclair's "incessant printing." In this work, Young found much to praise: the rich tenant farmers, the practice of hollow draining, the system of crop rotations, and the excellent roads. However, there is a long section near the end on the impoverished inhabitants of the county. A very fine copy, lacking the half-title and, as… Read More

36; 50; 25 leaves (each leaf consisting of two leaves pasted together at the fore-edge). 8vo (272 x 190 mm.), orig. wrappers, orig. manuscript title labels on upper covers (first label a little defective), new stitching. [Japan: between 1624-43]. A very rare movable type digest edition of the celebrated Tale of Genji. By the beginning of the 17th century, the Tale of Genji was not easy to read without a teacher. As a result, a series of digests or condensed versions, offering easier access to the text in more familiar language, were published. According to Peter Kornicki, seven movable type editions of the digest Genji kokagami had appeared by 1640 (see his fine "Unsuitable Books for Women? 'Genji Monogatari' and 'Ise Monogatari' in Late Seventeenth-Century Japan" in Monumenta Nipponica, Vol. 60, No. 2 [Summer, 2005] pp. 147-93). All these editions were published in a relatively short period of time and reflect the considerable demand by the reading public for this classic text. Our copy was… Read More

First edition. Home (1696-1782), a leading judge in Scotland and the author of several legal and agricultural works, counted James Boswell (who had an affair with Home's daughter Jean), David Hume, Adam Smith, and Benjamin Franklin as friends. In 1766, Home's wife inherited the estate Blair Drummond in Perthshire. "This estate was to provide a focus of Kames's quest for agricultural improvement, setting in train a scheme to clear moss land of its unproductive top layers of moss and peat. His enthusiasm for improvement bore fruit with the publication of a 400-page tome, The Gentleman Farmer, in 1776. This book offered both an attempt to bring together agricultural change and technique into a coherent theoretical system and some very practical observations based on experience… Read More
