Description: Berlin: Joachim Pauli, 1802. FIRST EDITION (second edition of volume II). Complete with engraved title vignettes, woodcut head- and tailpieces, 124 folding engraved plates and subject indices. Uniformly bound in contemporary half-calf over paste-boards, gilt lettering on spines; marginal dampstain on first two leaves of Volume III and annotations in contemporary hand on verso of last blank and paste-down of Volume IV of Magie, oder, Die Zauberkräfte der Natur. An exceptionally crisp and clean set. First edition of each volume (second of Volume I. An absolutely superb set, complete with the rarely seen 1802 Neufortgesetzte Magie. This work not only covers magic and the history of magic, but documents and illustrates, with beautiful plates, incredible accounts of human knowledge as well as physical science and technology through the eighteenth century. This massive collection contains much new material in addition to describing and illustrating the current state of optics, electricity & magnetism, chemistry, mechanics, hydraulics, gunpowder, metallurgy, manufacturing, horology, acoustics, aerostatics (such as those by the Montgolfiers), meteorology (chapters on lightning and lightning conductors), cryptography, paper making, and engraving. The economics and commercial aspects of these subjects are also detailed; for example, Halle specifically discusses games of amusement, keyboard instructions, fortune-telling devices, magic lanterns, talking machines, Kempelen's automaton chess player, mechanical games, stage props, telegraphy, mouse traps, tobacco and coffee, sign language, swimming, botany, plants and animals, artificial pearls, remedies (different herbs and mixtures), opium, distillation and wine making, etc., and all sorts of curiosities. Halle (1727-1810), a toxicologist, was professor of history at the Royal Prussian Military Academy in Berlin. Little is known of his life, but he wrote many books on subjects of social, economic, technological, and military history.

Title: Essays of Landscape Gardening
Author: MORRIS, Richard
Seller: Heritage Book Shop, LLC (United States)
Description: London: Printed for J. Taylor, 1825. First edition. Quarto (12 5/8 x 10 inches; 320 x 253 mm). viii, [1, contents], [1, blank], 91, [1, colophon] pp. Complete with six aquatint plates total. Three are are color plates, including the frontispiece and three are in sepia, two of which have overslips. With half-title. Original drab boards, rebacked to style. Edges uncut. Inner hinges strengthened. Some minor foxing, mainly to preliminaries and margins, not affecting plates. Boards a bit rubbed and with some minor staining. Previous owner's bookplate on front pastedown. Housed in a custom marbled slipcase, with printed paper label on spine and morocco lined edges. Overall a very good copy with all overslips present. In his Preface, Morris acknowledges the works of Humphry Repton, Uvedale Price, William Gilpinhis as inspiration. Repton's influence can be seen in the presence of the overslips. "The fashion of what is known as 'bedding out,' came in, and old fashioned plants, which had been the pride of our gardens for centuries, were banished to make room for these newcomers. In an Essay on Landscape Gardening by Morris in 1825, he advocates this plan, which was then quite a new one. 'The beauty of the flower-garden, in the summer season,' he writes, 'may be heightened by planting in beds some of the most freely-flowering young and healthy greenhouse plants. Where there is an extent of greenhouse, a sufficient quantity of plants should be grown annually for this purpose, and should be sunk in the beds about the middle or end of May."
