Description:
1658 RARE Austen on Francis Bacon Natural History Philosophy Science Experiments

"Some books should be tasted, some devoured, but only a few should be chewed and digested thoroughly."
― Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon, one of the most famous English philosophers and scientists of the Renaissance. While most of his work deals with discovery, scientific method, and the scientific revolution, he did lean strongly toward Puritanism in his personal devotion.

Bacon's "Historia Naturalis," or 'Natural History' was written to show the divisions of natural history, but more importantly to show how natural history overlaps with natural philosophy and they are not two distinct disciplines. This book helped lay the foundation for many philosophical methodologies that would be important through the 18th- and 19th-centuries.

Author Ralph Austen published his observations and commentary on Bacon's famed work. This 1658 first edition of Austen's 'Observations' was published in Oxford by Hall and Robinson.

Description:
1819 Kingdom of Naples 1st ed Calabria Ulteriore Travels Voyages Girace Brigands

"Occurrences During a Six Months' Residence in the Province of Calabria Ulteriore, in the Kingdom of Naples, in the Years 1809, 1810" by Lieut. Philip J. Elmhirst, offers a detailed account of the author's experiences and observations during his six-month stay in the Calabria Ulteriore province. Beginning with a harrowing shipwreck off Cape Stillo and the crew's subsequent detention by the local authorities, the narrative delves into the author's interactions with the inhabitants, the customs, and the landscape of the region. Elmhirst provides insights into the influence of French principles on the Roman Catholic-dominated populace, describes his travels across notable cities such as Girace and Casal-Nuovo, and sheds light on the dire state of regions affected by past earthquakes. A recurring theme is the oft-oppressive behavior of the French towards the local populace, from levying harsh contributions to the treatment… Read More

Description:
1836 1ed Oceania Voyages Malaysia Polynesia Maps Captain Cook Anson Rienzi 3v
Louis de Rienzi was a French 19th-century traveler and author who following his personal voyages wrote the 1836 masterwork, 'Oceania, or Fifth Part of the World.' Contained within is a compilation of the voyages of James Cook, George Anson, and Bougainville which are then supplemented by Rienzi's own travels. According to Nunc Broc this work was
"…quite successful. The book makes more room for history than for geography. If the exotic flora and fauna are not neglected, the author is particularly interested in customs of the natives."

This set features folding maps of the South Pacific Islands including Australia, Malaysia, Borneo as well as illustrated views of native people and their customs. It also includes original musical scores with text.

Description:
1729 Jean de la Fontaine French Literature Perrault Letters Poems Psyche 3v
Jean de la Fontaine was without question, the most widely read 17th-century fabulist, and perhaps could be rivaled only by Aesop himself. He wrote for what he intended to be a sophisticated French audience; however, his stories provided important lessons on morality for children and adults alike. Many of Fontaine's fables were adapted from those of Aesop and Phaedrus; though he did take liberties to make them his own.
This fine, three-volume set includes the following works:
I. Éloge de M. de La Fontaine, par M. Perrault, Lettre sur la conversion, par le R. P. Pouget, Poésies mêlées, Poèmes, Fragment du Songe de Vaux
II. Lettres, Pièces dramatiques

Description:
1781 BIRDS Art Buffon Natural SCIENCE Illustrated Flamingo Seagull Pelican

"Virtually all the well-known writers of the Enlightenment were 'Buffonians'"
― Ernst Mayer

The monumental work by Comte de Buffon, "Histoire Naturelle," was fascinating 18th-century collection of articles and encyclopedia entries on material sciences, physics, chemistry, technology, as well as the history of animals. Buffon wrote the volumes with the intent of addressing all-natural history, but after realizing the grandeur of the work, he focused on the individual orders of living things. The DSB mentions that
"Buffon's order is formed by a philosophical bias rather than by science."

This eighth volume from 'Birds' contains 38 impressive illustrations including views of flamingoes, plover, terns, waterthrush, moorhens, coots, pelicans, herons, seagulls, and many others!

1922 1ed Louis Pasteur Fermentation Microbiology WINE Beer Molecular Asymmetry
Louis Pasteur was one of the most famous 19th-century French scientists known for his discoveries of vaccinations, pasteurizations, and fermentation. Pasteur's research and studies proved the existence of micro-organisms and how they are responsible for the sourness that comes with spoiled milk, wine, and beer.
This 1922 edition of the works of Pasteur contains three of his best works including:
·
Molecular Asymmetry
·
Fermentations and Spontaneous Generations
·
Studies on Wine and Vinegar
According to 'Heirs of Hippocrates',
"In Pasteur's important study of fermentation, he discovered that contamination of beer was caused by microorganisms found in the air and not spontaneously generated as he had previously believed. He made possible the scientific processing of beer, wine, milk, and other perishable products."

Description:
1796 VIRGIL Aeneid Georgics Eclogues Bucolics Desfontaines PROSE French 4v SET

"Audaces fortuna iuvat- (Fortune favors the bold)."
― Virgil
Virgil is regularly considered one of the greatest Roman poets. His epic poems, 'Eclogues,' 'Georgics,' and 'Aeneid' are some of the most important works of western literature and describe mythology, medicine, astronomy, war and military, rhetoric, agriculture, and more!
Virgil's works have been popular throughout the centuries, both to readers and writers respectively. French translator Pierre Desfontaines created one the most unique and impressive versions of Virgil – a parallel French and Latin edition. While similar works exist, Desfontaines translations were not simply word-for-word but rather prose renditions of the Virgil Latin. These translations proved to be highly sought after and are still noteworthy works today.
This 1796, four-volume edition of Desfontaines's 'Virgil' was published in Paris by Plassan.
