"Works of bamboo painting, usually in ink, are a recognized genre of East Asian painting. In a work of bamboo painting in ink, a skilled artist and calligrapher will paint a bamboo stalk or group of stalks with leaves. The contrast between the foreground and background, and between the varying textures represented by the stalks and the leaves, gave scope to the painter to demonstrate his or her mastery with an inkpot and a brush.".…

Tall 8vo. 70, [2] pp. Title vignette, 10 engraved folding plates (numbered 1-8, with double numbers I and VI). Self-wraps, simple marbled spine. RARE. First edition in German, a translation of Nouvelle methode pour diviser les instruments de mathematique et d'astronomie, 1768. The 6th Duke of Chaulnes (1714-1769), a French astronomer-physicist who was particularly interested in scientific instruments. He observed the transit of Venus in 1761, Paris. "His love for optics and astronomy led to attempts to improve the construction of astronomical instruments." In 1755 he presented to the Academie a piece on rendering instruments of a small radius more accurate. "The substance of this memoir was published in the Academy's . . ." reports. A second paper in the same volume also dealt with the same topic. In 1767 he added remarks on the achromatic telescope. Here for the first time, he applied the microscope to measurement of refractive lenses. In this work, he describes the production of a special microscope, apparently to be built in England. At one time he built the largest electrostatic machine, used to reproduce and demonstrate for the first time in France, the effects of lightening. In 1743 he became an honorary member of the Academie des sciences (Paris). See: The Biographical Dictionary of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, Volume 1, Issue 2, (1842), p.654. / Clay & Court, shows a model of the Duc de Chaulnes' microscope: "A microscope which is essentially a Cuff instrument, but with a stage specially arranged for micrometry, was designed by the Duc de Chaulnes, and is described by him in a folio volume entitled, . . . 1768. He gives very full instructions for manufacture, with drawings of every part of the instrument in a series of six large plates . . ." â" Clay & Court, History of the Microscope, (pp. 183-4).

First Edition. recased in contemporary marbled wrappers with later card pastedowns, lacking free endpapers. 12mo (183 x 100 mm), 8vo, pp. [xvi], 17-313, [2] errata, [1] blank; some foxing and browning in the text, uncut throughout A scarce collection of works on the theme of love put together by Jean Baptiste de Saincric who was inspired to do so because of the rarity of the original publications. A Bordeaux doctor who specialised in medical hygiene and forensics, Saincric wrote widely on the medical topography of Bordeaux and its surroundings. He was a member of the Académie de Bordeaux and was twice president of the Société de Médecine de Bordeaux in 1824 and 1837. Dedicated to ?Sophie?, this work is a book of parts, with ?Avis de l?Editeur?, ?Suite de la note du libraire? and ?Introduction? by way of prefatory material, then the title work, ?Le Sacrifice de l?Amour, ou la Messe de Cythere? (pp. 17-48) and ?Sermon prêché a Gnide, a la Cérémonie du Mai, par le berger Sylvain? (pp. 49-63). The major part of the volume is the dictionary of amorous terms, which is taken largely from Marechal?s Dictionnaire d?Amour, 1788, with additional material from the earlier Dictionnaire de l?Amour, dans lequel on trouvera l?explication des termes les plus usité dans cette langue, 1741 by Jean-François Dreux du Radier. An index follows the dictionary. ?The Little Dictionary of Love has become very rare; you can only find it in very few libraries. It therefore seemed urgent to offer a new edition of it, corrected and augmented. In taking on this work, we believe we are performing an essential service to the fervent lovers of Venus and of his dear son. We have not, moreover, omitted anything which might make this new Dictionary worthy of public favour. It collects together the most striking articles by berger Sylvain with a work which was published anonymously at the Hague in 1741; and we have improved it with a host of pleasant pieces, taken from the best writers?

Only light edgewear and some bumped corners, slightest spots, otherwise crisp and clean interior. The Count d'Artois, friend to Marie Antoinette and lover of the arts, sought to stimulate a renewal in fiction with the printing of this collection of novels in 35 titles. The overall collection of 64 volumes was printed from 1781 to 1784 and edited by the order of Louis XVI. Just two years later the French monarchy would be in crisis; bankrupt and facing various political upheavals in the years leading up to the Revolution. This surviving set dates from the time of relative peace before upheaval and before the Count later reigned as Charles X in the post-Revolution era in 1824. These survive as early relics of the French monarch's cultural interests and endeavors. François-Ambroise Didot printed no more than 100 copies as a whole impression; 60 with the arms of the prince and at least 40 were on common paper without the Count's heraldry, as in these, while others were produced on vellum (See Ebert 4938). These works are extremely neatly printed on laid paper and stand as a precursor to Didot's prolific typographic and printing career. Complete copies of the Count d'Artois's collection are of utmost rarity; these portative sixteen make up an excellent union. Brunet 19413.

Cassini, was a French astronomer and geodesist, who continued the surveying work initially undertaken by his father, Jacques Cassini, and in the process created a monumental map of France. "one of the best-known artifacts of the eighteenth century.". Cassini succeeded his father as director of the Paris Observatory in 1771, but his achievements as an astronomer were less distinguished then those as a geodesist and cartographer. From the 1740s "until his death, Cassini de Thury directed work on a general topographic map of France. Published in 1789, this "Carte géométrique de la France" ("Geometric Map of France"), or "Carte de Cassini," was the first map of an entire country drawn up on the basis of extensive triangulation and topographic surveys" (Encyclopedia Britannia online). The map included here corresponds to the key map for the eventual megalith which consisted of 180 sheets measuring about 11 metres square. "By 1760, 50 maps of the 180 projected were finished, all in the north-central part of France. Between 1760 and 1770, 38 were published, covering all of eastern France, central France north of Lyon, and western France east of Rennes and north of Poitiers. Forty-five more were available by 1780, covering Anjou, Poitou, the Dauphin, and Provence. The Limousin, the Pyrenees frontier, and the region of Nice appeared between 1780 and 1789. All fieldwork but not all engraving was completed by 1789." (Konvitz, Cartography in France 1660-1848. Chicago, 1987, pp. 21-25). Catalogued by Kate Hunter.…
