Description
Paris: Briasson, 1742. FIRST EDITION. With half-tile to second part, approbation and errata. With engraved chapter vignettes and 60 folding plates. Contemporary tree calf, elaborate gilt-decorated spine (slightly chipped at head and foot); endpapers printed in purple floral pattern, occasional browning in text and on edges of plates, heavier on preliminaries. Contemporary signature of Dav. Christoph. Schobingen M.D. on flyleaf, and bookplate on front paste-down, contemporary annotations to the errata leaf, possibly for a later edition. From the Furstenberg library at Donaueschingen. First edition. This indispensable manual of paleontology was the earliest of its kind to be published in French. It consists of two parts; the first is a compilation of letters relating to Bourguet's previous work, Lettres philosophiques, wherein he compares the processes of the mineral world, such as crystallization, to processes of the living world. The second part contains an atlas of sixty exquisite plates of fossils, including those unearthed by the author mostly from Switzerland or taken from the works of Lang and Scheuchzer. The illustrations are accompanied by concise explanatory text, a comprehensive bibliography of paleontology, and a list of international areas where fossils have been found. Bourguet (1678-1742), affectionately referred to among his friends as the Pliny of Neuchâtel, traveled extensively, constantly adding to his store of knowledge and collection of specimens and fossils. He sought to arrange all mineral and organic species in a single line, from the simplest to the most complex, illustrating the concept of the Great Chain of Being. He had many correspondents, including Leibniz, and played an important role in the diffusion of ideas at the time.

Description
New York: Random House, 1970. FIRST EDITION. Publisher’s cloth, original dust jacket; interior in excellent condition. Author’s inscription in black marker on first flyleaf. First American edition of a seminal futurist text. For Future shock, the Tofflers initially wrote an article entitled “The Future as a Way of Life” in Horizon magazine in 1965 to try to explain the disorientation people experience in the face of a rapidly changing culture. The book further developed the phenomenon. The simplest definition of “future shock” is a psychological reaction to “too much change in too short period of time.” In the course of the book, Toffler creates a model of civilization based on three different stages of development: agrarian, industrial, and post-industrial. These stages in turn shape perceptions regarding technology, social patterns, information patterns and power patterns. The Tofflers also attempt to use this model to explain the current state of “information overload” arguing that the world was entering new phase as a “super industrial society.” The book was a world-wide bestseller with over six million copies sold and even inspiring a documentary film. Toffler (1928–2016) was an American futurist, businessman, and author. He wrote primarily on modern technology and the effects on global culture. He collaborated with his wife, Heidi, on the majority of his writings.

Description
1787. First Edition. RANDOLPH, Rev. F[rancis], M.A. A Letter to the Honourable William Pitt, Chancellor of the Exchequer, &c. &c. On the Proposed Abolition of the African Slave Trade. London: T. Cadell, 1788. Slim octavo, period-style three-quarter black cloth and marbled boards; pp. 56. $1650.First edition of Randolph’s important 1788 Letter against swift abolition of the slave trade, published the same year Prime Minister Pitt, “substituting for Wilberforce,” raised the subject in House of Commons, with Randolph instead proposing fresh regulations for slave owners and the slave trade, from the collection of the New York Historical Society.At a time when ""the British share of the European slave traffic was higher than ever,"" famed abolitionists Clarkson and Wilberforce worked with Prime Minister Pitt in February 1788 to create a committee of the Privy Council charged with investigating the slave trade. Three months later Pitt, ""substituting for Wilberforce who was ill, introduced the subject of the trade in the House of Commons. That session passed a bill sponsored by William Dolben that regulated the dimensions of slave ships"" (Rodriquez, Historical Encyclopedia I:162). Dolben's bill, known as the ""Middle Passage"" Bill, was passed that same July, and Pitt ordered ""Captain Parrey, a naval surveyor, to take measurements of slaving vessels docked at Liverpool. Parrey came back with surveys of several ships measurements, including those of the slaver called the Brookes (or Brooks). The Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade used the measurements of the Brookes and created the now-famous Brookes diagram"" (Encyclopedia of African American History, 285).Randolph's Letter… on the Proposed Abolition of the African Slave Trade, published soon after, is a key document in calling for restraint amidst demands for abolition of the slave trade. While Randolph praises such efforts, his Letter clearly signals the authority of those who opposed to the urgency of Pitt, Clarkson and Wilberforce. Randolph is especially mindful of how ""slavery and the slave trade were tied closely to the rights of private property, the political freedom of colonies and states, and the economic rewards of international competition"" (Davis, Homicide to Slavery, 244-5). He insists we cannot ""pay the Tribute of Mercy without endangering the Treasury."" A sympathetic reviewer observed that Randolph's Letter ""inclines strongly to the cause of freedom… and since a total abolition of Negro-slavery is not likely soon to happen, he proposes a set of very proper regulations for the African trade, and for the better treatment of slaves in the plantations"" (Monthly Review, May 1788, 429). By 1807, however, those who shared Randolph's views were confronted by Parliament's passage of the Slave Trade Act and the next year Clarkson's History, with its folding map of Brookes slave ship. Sabin 67823. Allibone II:1738. Hogg, African Slave Trade:155. With deaccession inkstamp of the New York Historical Society: ""Withdrawn N-YHS."" Faint instamp: ""Bound N.Y.H.S. May 10 1943.""Text very fresh with only lightest scattered foxing. A highly desirable near-fine copy of a major work in the history of slavery.

Generally a clean copy
Description
Chicago: Art Institute of Chicago, 2018. First edition. Generally a clean copy. 13.6 x 9.9 inches. 176 pages. Profusely illustrated in color. Original pictorial boards. "With a rigorous approach and self-imposed limitations to both scale and composition, Tomma Abts (b. 1967) has reinvigorated painterly abstraction and its relevance within contemporary art. Using a fixed canvas size and a vertical format, Abts deploys basic formal elements such as arcs, circles, planes, and stripes to create powerful works that are at once subtle and eccentric. This extraordinary book, designed in collaboration with the artist herself, is a substantial and deeply insightful treatment of her career to date and features sixty works made over the past decade. Essays not only contextualize Abts's work within an art-historical framework of methods, process, and style, but also examine her paintings' philosophical and psychological dimensions and their embodiment of a creative process that transcends the specifics of any particular work. The beautifully designed and illustrated exhibition catalogue examines both the art-historical framework of Tomma Abts's painting as well as its deep philosophical and psychological dimensions. James Rondeau is president and Eloise W. Martin Director of the Art Institute of Chicago. Lizzie Carey-Thomas is head of programs at the Serpentine Galleries in London. Kate Nesin is an independent art historian. Juliane Rebentisch is a professor of philosophy and aesthetics at the Offenbach University of Art and Design in Berlin" (the publisher).
