Description: First French edition of Bartram's Travels, which chronicled his explorations of the southern British colonies in North America from 1773–17772 volumes. 457 pages with frontispiece engraved portrait by Bovinet Mico Chlucco Grana, King of the Seminoles and one folding plate; 436 pages without title with large folding map by J.B. Poirson engraved by Alexandre Blondeau and folding plate. Octavo (8 1/4" x 5 1/4") bound in half leather with six spine compartments with red and black labels in gilt over original marbled boards. Translated by Pierre Vincent Benoist. (Sabin 3871; Palau 251346; Howes B223; Field 94) First French edition.William Bartram was an American naturalist. The son of the naturalist John Bartram. As a boy, he accompanied his father on many of his travels to the Catskill Mountains, the New Jersey Pine Barrens, New England, and Florida. In 1773, he embarked upon a four-year journey through eight southern colonies. Bartram made many drawings and took notes on the native flora and fauna, and the native American Indians. In 1774, he explored the St. Johns River, where he had memorable encounters with aggressive alligators, and also visited a principal Seminole village at Cuscowilla, where his arrival was celebrated with a great feast. He met Ahaya the Cowkeeper, chief of the Alachua band of the Seminole tribe. When Bartram explained to the Cowkeeper that he was interested in studying the local plants and animals, the chief was amused and began calling him Puc Puggy (the flower hunter). Bartram continued his explorations of the Alachua Savannah, or what is today Paynes Prairie. William Bartram wrote of his experiences exploring the Southeast in his book Travels through North & South Carolina, East & West Florida, the Cherokee Country, the Extensive Territories of the Muscogulges, or Creek Confederacy, and the Country of the Chactaws, Containing an Account of the Soil and Natural Productions of Those Regions, Together with Observations on the Manners of the Indians, published in 1791 and which is today simply known as Bartram's Travels. It was considered at the time one of the foremost books on American natural history. Many of Bartram's accounts of historical sites were the earliest records, including the Georgia mound site of Ocmulgee. In addition to its contributions to scientific knowledge, Travels is noted for its original descriptions of the American countryside. Bartram's writing influenced many of the Romantic writers of the day. William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and François René de Chateaubriand are known to have read the book, and its influence can be seen in many of their works. Ephraim George Squier and Edwin Hamilton Davis, in their book, Ancient Monuments of the Mississippi Valley, name Bartram as "the first naturalist who penetrated the dense tropical forests of Florida."Condition:Some rubbing to original boards, page 143 of volume one has small burn mark affecting text, half title bound upside down in back, old water stain to plate of volume two. Fold-out map has repair to first fold, internally pages are clean and free of toning and foxing else a very good copy.

Scarce, with only 2 OCLC records located (Yale and Paris-Doucet).. First Edition.

Accompanied by 8 pp. interview, in Italian, printed in loose folio gatherings and hand-numbered as 79 of 120 trade copies. When Warhol started to apply photomechanical processes to his canvases, he famously declared: "The reason I'm painting this way is that I want to be a machine." Within a few years, under the banner of Mec Art, Gianni Bertini was employing similar photographic techniques in Paris, but not for their qualities of repetition. Instead, he drew photography into painting to flatten the distance between the two of them, in pursuit of new synthetic images that might represent the post-War commingling of humans and machines; more alchemy than collage. Luigi Cavallo, who animates the interview in this portfolio, proposes that we reconsider Bertini as "the conscience of our age.

Smith & Humphries 1412 (not recording this issue). BUC p. 973. RISM S4675 and SS4674. Stanley was an English composer, organist and violinist. "He became blind as the result of a domestic accident at the age of two, and began to study music as a diversion when he was seven. Little progress was made under his first teacher, John Reading ... but he got on so well under Maurice Greene at St Paul's Cathedral that before he was 12 he was appointed organist at the nearby church of All Hallows Bread Street. In 1726 he was elected to a similar post at St Andrew's, Holborn, 'in preference to a great number of candidates' (Burney), and in 1734 he was made organist to the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple, having resigned from All Hallows in 1727. According to his pupil John Alcock ..., Stanley's playing of voluntaries at the Temple and St Andrew's attracted musicians from all over London, including Handel. He was also an excellent violinist and for several years directed the subscription concerts at the Swan Tavern, Cornhill, and the Castle, Paternoster Row. In 1729 he became the youngest person to gain a BMus degree from Oxford University. ... Thanks largely to his remarkable memory, Stanley was able to enjoy a comfortable living as an organist and teacher and to join in music-making and card-playing with a large circle of friends. He was also able to direct several Handel oratorios during the 1750s, and after Handel's death in 1759 he assumed responsibility for the annual Lenten oratorio seasons at Covent Garden (later at Drury Lane), first with J.C. Smith and from 1776 with Thomas Linley." Malcolm Boyd, revised by A.G. Williams in Grove Music Online.

Editorial, vol 31: Swan Song of a Penguin: "This is to be the last number of Penguin New Biology. For fifteen years we have tried to perform a particular function in the diffusion of biological knowledge. The dissemination of scientific information is a process as complicated in variety and subtlety of interrelationships as the food chains that develop and maintain an oak tree, a herring, or a thinking human brain with sunshine and a watery mixture of elements as raw materials. The information that pours out of the research laboratories at the rate of some hundreds of papers a day needs digesting and processing in many ways before it can achieve its maximum usefulness to those who ought to benefit from it - whether research worker or ordinary citizen. Selections, summaries, analyses, interpretations must be guided by many different aims. for different, and for changing people. It was a particular niche in this food chain that we hoped to fill. Our idea was not that we should attempt the very important task of introducing biology to those who know nothing about it. We intended to go thoroughly into our subjects, and it seemed to us that no periodical which works on the assumption that every reader's mind is a blank can hope to do this. But we made another assumption: that with the expansion of science after the war we should be assured of enough readers to keep us going at our chosen level. This last assumption has turned out to be wrong. We would be poor biologists if we did not recognize that evolution goes in fits and starts, following no single path, but with many blind ends, depending for ultimate advance on large numbers and variety in which selection can work." The work contains many isotype charts (each identified by Isotype Institute logo). Isotype (International System of TYpographic Picture Education) is a method of showing social, technological, biological and historical connections in pictorial form, developed in Vienna between 1925 and 1934. MICHAEL ABERCROMBIE (1912 – 1979) was first editor of the Journal of Embryology and Experimental Morphology. For most readers of the Journal, Abercrombie will be best known as an active research worker and the director of a great research laboratory. However, he was also an important figure in each of several other fields - but notably as a popularizer of science. The periodical Penguin New Biology (offered here), which he and his wife, M. L. Johnson, founded and jointly edited was perhaps his most significant enterprise in this genre. The Penguin Dictionary of Biology, of which he was one author, was equally successful. Abercrombie's work as an experimental embryologist began when he joined C. H. Waddington in exploring the properties of the avian organizer. Soon afterwards the outbreak of war turned him to work, inspired by J. Z. Young, on Wallerian nerve degeneration and wound healing. Although his interest in avian embryology persisted, work on the social behavior of cells - normal and neoplastic - became a preoccupation, and his analysis of contact inhibition of movement was to prove a turning point in modern cell biology. Abercrombie's contributions to cell morphology, cell population dynamics and cell behavior were characterized by his search for accurate quantitative measures of the processes he was studying.

The magazine gained fame for its blend of horror, science fiction, and fantasy, featuring contributions from acclaimed creators like Archie Goodwin and Frank Frazetta. Vampirella's striking red costume and the magazine's detailed, often provocative artwork made it a standout in the comic world.

In the course of Caged Bird, Maya transforms from a victim of racism with an inferiority complex into a self-possessed, dignified young woman capable of responding to prejudice.
