A very rare publication by the French botanist Claude Thomas Alexis Jordan (1814-1897). "Born into a wealthy family, he chose a career path in natural history rather than becoming a businessman like his father. From 1836 to 1877 he traveled widely throughout France, collecting many botanical specimens on trips to the Massif Central, the Alps, the Pyrenees as well as on excursions to locations near Lyon. As a member of the Linnaean Society of Lyon,…

Description:
London, The Royal Society, 1799. Two papers in one. Large 4to (29.4 x 22.6 cm). 55 [33; 22] pp.; 17 [8; 9] large, folded engraved plates. Original printed wrappers. The most detailed study of Asiatic elephants to that date. It includes a detailed account of the Bengalese "taxonomy" and nomenclature of elephants, which differ widely from the scientific ones. The plates mainly show parts of the skull and the teeth. John Corse [later: John Corse-Scott of Sinton (or Synton)] (ca. 1762-1842) was an army surgeon and naturalist who resided in India for a long time. He wrote more on elephants, but this is his most important anatomical-osteological contribution. Subsequent to Corse's paper, and announced there as a continuation, is a work by Everard Home (Some observations on the structure of the teeth of graminivorous quadrupeds; particularly of the elephant and Sus aethiopicus), which includes illustrations of the African elephant's teeth as well. Both publications were communicated by Sir…

This discovery was done at the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory, Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge and was reason to the Nobel Prize Comittee to grand Hewish the Nobel Prize in physics. "One of his PhD students, Jocelyn Bell, noted the radio source which was ultimately recognised as the first pulsar. The paper announcing the discovery had five authors, Hewish's name being listed first, Bell's second. Hewish and Martin Ryle were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1974 for work on the development of radio aperture synthesis and its role in the discovery of pulsars. The Nobel award to Ryle and Hewish without the inclusion of Bell as a co-recipient was controversial, and was roundly condemned by Hewish's fellow astronomer Fred Hoyle" (Wikipedia).

His observations on the 1807 comet - discussed here - are thought-provoking regarding the conundrum, are comets illuminous by themselves or only reflecting sunlight. An original section, taken from the Philosophical Transactions for the year 1794 (not from the later, abridged edition). This section also contains an article by Thomas Young on hydrolic investigations. Unbound, some pages loose, a good copy. Rare.

Important early paper on the (social) intelligence of the European common seal by the French zoologist and paleontologist Frédéric Cuvier (1773-1838). "[Cuvier] was the younger brother of noted naturalist and zoologist Georges Cuvier. Cuvier has been described as the first scientist to use terms "héréditaire" (hereditary) in 1807 and "heredity in 1812 in their now biological context. He used both words in promoting the inheritance of acquired characteristics based on his studies of animal behaviour" (Wikipedia). Published in the Museum's Annales, volume 17. Rare.

A seldom-seen botanical work by the German medical doctor and botanist Franz Julius Ferdinand Meyen (1804-1840), compiled with the assistance of several of the foremost German botanists of the time. Published posthumously. After an apprenticeship as a pharmacist in Memel (Lithuania), Meyen came to Berlin in 1821, where he studied medicine at the University of Berlin. From 1826 onwards, Meyen worked as a military doctor. On the recommendation of Alexander von Humboldt, he took part in a circumnavigation of the world as a ship's doctor on the Princess Louise from 1830 to 1832. This took him to Brazil, Chile, Peru, Polynesia, China, and…

Description:
Paris, Huzard, 1828. 8vo (20.0 x 12.8 cm). vii, 199 pp.; three folded engraved geological profiles. Later pebbled green half calf over marbled boards. Spine with gilt title. This is as far as we know the earliest work by the French geologist Jean-Baptiste Armand Louis Léonce Élie de Beaumont (1798-1874). It deals with the stratigraphy of the Mesozoic (Triassic) of eastern France, and was published when he was an assistant of Brochant de Villiers whom he would succeed as professor of geology at the École des Mines in 1835. This work was published in the famous Annales des Mines, but this is a very rare offprint, with a new preface by the author. The small, oval stamp of another famous geologist, Louis Agassiz, on the title page. Some peculiar spotting on pp. 48-49 and adjacent leaves, as if someone spilled ink, but thetext well readable. Otherwise only a few small spots. A very good copy. Ward and Carozzi, 732.
