Description
Paris: Chez J. E. Gabriel Dufour. Printer: L'Imprimerie de Crapelet, 1805. First Edition. Full Calf. Very Good. Large paper copy! Elephantine Folio, 52 by 33 cm. 112 pp. With 72 engraved plates of tropical birds. Plates were actually printed in color, with hand-coloring then augmenting that color, to create exquisitely beautiful depictions of birds. Light scattered foxing, a bit more on the text leaves than the plates. Generally, though, the plates read quite clean, and they are always bright and fresh. Binding rebacked with original spine mostly preserved and laid on, but the rebacking obvious along the joints. And there is some loss and cracks to the mounted original spine. Rubbing along the edges. Still the full diced calf binding, which is contemporary, remains attractive, especially with its impressed diamond pattern.

Description
London: The Royal Society, 1925. First edition. Original wrappers. Very Good. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPPERS of Dirac's first major paper; a major achievement in the advancement of the new quantum theory. "Dirac's first step into a new quantum theory was taken late in September 1925. R H Fowler, his research supervisor, had received a proof copy of an exploratory paper by Werner Heisenberg in the framework of the old quantum theory of Bohr and Sommerfeld, which leaned heavily on Bohr's correspondence principle but changed the equations so that they involved directly observable quantities. Fowler sent Heisenberg's paper on to Dirac, who was on vacation in Bristol, asking him to look into this paper carefully. Dirac's attention was drawn to a mysterious mathematical relationship, at first sight unintelligible, that Heisenberg had reached. Several weeks later, back in Cambridge, Dirac suddenly recognized that this mathematical form had the same structure as the Poisson Brackets that occur in the classical dynamics of particle motion. From this thought he quickly developed a quantum theory that was based on non-commuting dynamical variables. This led him to a more profound and significant general formulation of quantum mechanics than was achieved by any other worker in this field. This was a major achievement that marked him out from others in the field. As a young, 25-year-old physicist he was quickly accepted by outstanding physicists... Dirac's quantum mechanics takes a simple and beautiful form, with a structure showing elegance and economy of concept, and linked directly with the classical theory" (Dalitz, Paul Dirac). Provenance: With stamp of City & Guilds College on front and back of wrappers; presentation bookplate from Professor William Ernest Dalby (Dean of the College) loosely affixed to first page. IN: Proceedings of the Royal Society of London, Series A, Vol. 109, pp. 642-653. London: The Royal Society, 1925. Octavo, original wrappers; custom box. Light wear to spine; mild soiling. RARE in original wrappers.

New York: Columbia Univ. Press, 1943. First edition. Cloth. A near fine copy with "Review Copy" stamp on free front endpaper. No dust jacket.. x, 243 pp. 8vo. Number IV of the Columbia Legal Studies, Edwin W. Patterson, ed. L.S. Rowe, foreword. "This discussion of Argentine constitutional law is particularly concerned with the role of the judicial department in the maintenance of the federal system and in protection of individual rights. There is emphasis, too, on the relationship between Argentine consitutional law and that of the United States. Many of the provisions of the Argentine constitution of 1853 were modeled on similar provisions of the constitution of the United States. The decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court have served constantly as precedents for Argentine judicial decisions, and profound knowledge of the constitutional law and history of the U.S. has helped to shape Argentine constitutional history. But the dissimilarities in social and economic conditions in the two countries have been reflected in differences in their constitutions and laws. The differences as well as the similarities are analyzed in this illuminating study," (Publlisher).
