Condition: Fine
Description: Amsterdam: Apud Joannem Janssonium à Waesberge, 1672. FIRST EDITION. Hardcover. Fine. Bound in 18th c. pigskin, richly tooled in blind and with two spine labels. A fine copy. Portrait leaf skillfully re-margined, small nick in blank margin of leaf Z2, light dampstain in blank margin of one folding plate. Wormtrail to pastedown, flyleaves and blank margin of portrait, clean tear to p. 131-2 with no loss; early cipher in blank margin of engraved and printed title pages. The Robert P. Honeyman copy. With an 18th c. ownership inscription of the Piarist convent at Freistadt (Austria) on the engraved title. Bound with the first edition of a work on the Jewish calendar by the Belgian physician and mathematician Nicolaas Mueller’s, who edited the third edition of Copernicus in 1617. A landmark in the history of science. The book includes Guericke’s descriptions of his inventions: the air pump and the first electrical generator; his experiments in physics (including the famous Magdeburg Experiment), and his cosmological theories. The book is illustrated with 21 engraved plates in the text (plate XVIII is used three times), the engraved portrait, the engraved title, and the 2 double-page engravings, the first showing the heliocentric solar system, the second showing the Magdeburg Experiment. "A book of prime importance in electrical discovery, air-pressure and the vacuum pump. Described are electric conduction and repulsion and the discharging power of points."(Dibner 55) “Describes [Guericke’s] invention of the air pump [in 1650] and the famous experiment with the Magdeburg hemispheres, in which two teams of eight horses were employed in an attempt to pull apart two copper hemispheres from which the air had been withdrawn. Guericke also describes the invention of the first electrical machine, which generated the first visible and audible electric charges.”(Honeyman Catalog -this copy) ‘In 1650 Guericke invented the air pump, which he used to create a partial vacuum… In 1663 he invented the first electric generator, which produced static electricity by applying friction against a revolving ball of sulfur. In 1672 he discovered that the electricity thus produced could cause the surface of the sulfur ball to glow; hence, he became the first man to view electroluminescence.”(Britannica) “This remarkable work on experimental philosophy ranks next to William Gilbert's ‘De Magnete’ in the number and importance of the electrical discoveries described. Electric conduction and repulsion, the discharging power of points, the dissipation of charge by flames, the light due to electrification, the crepitating noises of small sparks are all recognized”.(Wheeler Gift Catalog) The work consists of seven books: "The world and its construction, according to the principal doctrines and scientists," "On empty space,” “On my own experiments,"(which tells of the air pump and Guericke’s barometric experiments), "The cosmic force and what depends upon it," "The earth-water sphere and its companion, the moon," "Our solar system," and "The realm of the fixed stars and its boundaries.” “Guericke had been preoccupied ever since his student days at Leiden with the question of the definition of space. A convinced Copernican, he was particularly concerned with three fundamental questions: (1) What is the nature of space? Can empty space exist, or is space always filled and empty space only a spatium imaginarium, a logical abstraction? (2) How can individual heavenly bodies affect each other across space, and how are they moved? (3) Is space, and therefore the heavenly bodies enclosed in it, bounded or unbounded? “Descartes’s conception of space and matter as equivalent and his denial of a vacuum led Guericke to propose an experiment designed to resolve the old conflict between plenists and vacuists. Guericke posited that if the air were pumped out of a strong container and no other new material allowed to take its place the vessel would implode if Descartes’s assertions were true. Soon after he returned from Osnabruck in 1647 Guericke made a suction pump using a cylinder and piston to which he added two flap valves; he then used this apparatus to pump water out of a well-caulked beer cask. Air entered the cask, however, as was evidenced by whistling noises. When Guericke repeated the experiment with the beer cask sealed within a second larger one that he had also filled with water, the water that he pumped out was replaced by water seeping in from the larger vessel. “In an attempt to solve the sealing problem Guericke ordered the construction of a hollow copper sphere with an outlet at the bottom. He pumped the air directly out of this apparatus which thereupon imploded. This result would seem to indicate that Descartes was right; but Guericke still thought otherwise on the basis of his earlier experiments. He had a new apparatus made, and with this his experiment succeeded. Guericke thus invented the air pump, or, rather, discovered the pumping capacity of air. He had thought that the air within the vessel would sink, as had the water in his previous devices, and that it would be evacuated from the bottom; later experiments, however, in which the outlet was placed at arbitrary points on the copper sphere proved that the air left in the container during the process of evacuation was distributed evenly throughout the interior space. “This discovery of the elasticity of the air represents perhaps the most important result of Guericke's experiments. From it he was led to investigate the decrease of the density of the air with height and to theorize concerning empty space beyond the atmosphere of heavenly bodies; to study variations of air pressure corresponding to changes in the weather (taking mean air pressure to correspond to a water column twenty Magdeburg ells high, he succeeded in 1660 in making barometric weather forecasts); to propose systematic weather reporting through a network of observation stations; to come to know the ponderability of air within air; and finally, to draw further conclusions about a variety of phenomena connected with vacuums, most of which he demonstrated experimentally, especially the work capacity of air, by which he refuted the theory of horror vacui. “The most famous of Guericke's public experiments is the one of the Magdeburg hemispheres, in which he placed together two copper hemispheres, milled so that the edges fit together snugly. He then evacuated the air from the resulting sphere and showed that a most heavy weight could not pull them apart. Contrary to legend, the demonstration was performed with a team of horses for the first time in Magdeburg in 1657 (not Regensburg in 1654) and repeated at court in Berlin in 1663. Guericke also made other, less dramatic, public demonstrations of the effectiveness of air pressure on several occasions in Regensburg; these Regensburg experiments were reported by Gaspar Schott in Mechanica hydraulico-pneumatica (1657) and Technica curiosa (1664), and were supplemented with additional information that Guericke communicated by letter. “Schott's books as well as other foreign publications of Guericke's experiments (for example, works of M. Cornaeus and S. Lubieniecky) stimulated Huygens and Boyle, among others, to repeat and extend the experiments and to set to work upon an improved air pump. Guericke himself was occupied with the same project; he improved his pump with hydraulic sealing and devised a stationary installation for it (it occupied two floors of his house). In 1663 Guericke developed a portable pump modeled on one of Boyle's and constructed one especially for his visit to Berlin in that year. (Three examples of this type of pump survive, one each in Munich, Lund, and Brunswick.) “Guericke's experimental work, however, represents only one facet of his attempt to reach a complete physical world view. He drew upon his Copernicanism to construct the foundations for such a system. Guericke’s celestial physics were further based upon the notion that the heavenly bodies interacted with each other across empty space through magnetic force; here he turned to the earlier work of Gilbert and Kepler. Their magnetic hypotheses had been refuted by Athanasius Kircher (in Magnes sive De arte magnetica, 1641); joining the argument, Guericke sought to modify Gilbert's magnetism experiments by making use of materials mimicking the actual composition of the earth. To this end Guericke cast a sphere composed of a variety of minerals with a large proportion of sulfur — in later experiments he used pure sulfur — and showed that it possessed the virtutes mundanae, that is, such powers as attraction and the ability to move other bodies. By rubbing the sphere of sulfur, Guericke had actually produced static electricity; but since he did not recognize these electrical effects as special phenomena, but as demonstrations of the virtutes of a celestial body, he cannot properly be credited with the invention of the first electrical machine. “Having dealt with the problems of empty space and the movement of heavenly bodies, Guericke concerned himself further with the question of the boundedness of space and the number of worlds therein. He conceived of fixed stars as suns with planetary systems, each of which exerts a sphere of force (orbis virtutis, sphaera activitatis); these systems border on each other and do not interact — each heavenly body rather possesses a specific center of gravity for a specific virtus conservativa, which he interpreted as its source of cohesion. Thus, in opposition to Aristotelian cosmography, an immaterial boundary of space becomes inconceivable. Giordano Bruno had already speculated about an infinite universe containing an infinite number of worlds, but his ideas had been unacceptable because only God was considered infinite — all of God's creation must be finite. Guericke overcame this objection by redefining the notion of nothingness. By his reasoning, empty space as a mere receptacle for God's creations is nothingness and is not created. Empty space is therefore independent of God and the created universe — indeed, it precedes the latter. Therefore empty space cannot be bounded. Neither can the number of worlds be bounded, although such a number is not infinite (since there are no infinite numbers). Likewise it is not limited, since there is no greatest number and no end to the series of numbers. Infinite space is thus a conceptual possibility. “Such speculations about the heavenly bodies quite naturally led Guericke to the study of astronomy. He explained planetary orbits as exactly circular and concentric, effected by the rotating orbis virtutis of the sun, and interpreted the apparent eccentricities as a result of the different densities of the atmosphere” (DSB).

Title: [Manuscript journal of a trip from Colorado to California.]
Author: Castello, Mrs. [Sarah Elizabeth Shockey]
Seller: James Arsenault & Company (United States)
Description: July 19–20, 1862; September 12–25, 1862. 24mo (5.625” x 3.5”). 9 pp. in pencil and ink, disbound from larger volume and lacking the pages covering late July and August. CONDITION: Very good. A brief but informative record of a young woman’s journey to California with her mother and new husband during the Civil War, including a striking postscript written forty-four years later. Sarah Elizabeth Shockey was born in Ohio in 1843, and married James H. Castello (1837–1924) in Denver, Colorado in January of 1862. That July the young couple set out for California, along with Sarah’s mother and several others. This diary records Sarah’s experience of the trip, including notable sightings (wildlife, “Indians,” government freight wagons, etc.), rest- and campsites, livestock problems, and toll bridges, but also occasionally outlining domestic camp labor—“Laid by most all day took the things out of the trunk and aired them; put out the beds and bed clothes”—and frequently detailing food, or, at times, a lack thereof: 20 July: “saw 3 antelopes…at little Thompson Gentleman there gave us an antelope ham.” n.d., [July]: “reached Sand spring about 2 oClock in the morning no feed nor wood nor scarc[e]ly any water there did not get any breakfast.” 14 September: “Traveled 3 or 4 miles camped close to Desert station did not get any supper.” 17 September: “bought some fresh beef tomatoes cabbage peaches A lady gave Mother a nice pear.” 24 September: “Stopped at a farm-house and bought some cabbage and tomatoes and grapes lady gave us a few grapes and fresh figs.” 18 September: “A gentleman made us a present of some beautiful fresh grapes…stopped in Steamboat valley at the browns farm…little girl gave us a watermelon cooked our cabbage bought some potatoes and mutton sold our chair for a dollar.” The first day of the journey led Castello and her party from Denver across Dry Creek, Rock Creek, and Coal Creek, ending with a mosquito-filled night encamped at Boulder Creek. Over the course of the ensuing days they camp or “noon” at Cold Spring Road (“great many Indians there”) and Sand spring, in Colorado. When the narrative resumes in early September, the first locations mentioned are “Carson Sink” and “Desert station” in Nevada (both stops on the Pony Express until its closure the previous October). On September 17th they reach Virginia City, and the remaining entries record their passage through “Steamboat valley,” entering the Sierra Nevada Mountains and camping in “Dog valley” (“timber very large”), “the halfway station between Virginia City and Marysville” (where they meet “quite a number of freight teams also a couple of pack trains”), “Truckee lake” (now Donner Lake), “Eureka” (“bought some fresh beef and potatoes put the stock in an inclosure been rich mines there”), and “Nevada” (i.e., Nevada City: “a beautiful place the streets nice and clean so many beautiful flowers in the yards…Mr. Dailey bought a muskmelon”). On September 25th they camp “about a mile from the city of Sacramento.” The Castellos moved to Elk Grove in 1866, where they farmed and James worked as a blacksmith. They had seven children. The final entry in the diary, dated September 25th, 1906 from Elk Grove, reads: “44 years after the above was written, am still able to cook for my family.” An evocative record of a woman’s overland journey from Colorado to California.

Title: Bennington, VT. [Cover title: Folded Bird's-Eye View of Bennington, Vt. Showing All Points of Interest]
Creator: Burleigh, L[ucien] R[inaldo]
Seller: James Arsenault & Company (United States)
Description: Troy, New York: L. R. Burl[e]igh; Charles H. Potter, [1891?]. Lithograph, 12.5" x 28.875" plus margins, folded into printed brown wrappers (5.5" x 3.5"). CONDITION: Light wear to wrappers. Map good, separations along old horizontal folds but no losses to the map, a few short separations along vertical folds. A scarce bird's eye view of Bennington, Vermont by the prolific view-maker L. R. Burleigh, likely published around the time of the dedication ceremony for the Bennington Battle Monument, the tallest structure in Vermont. Based on Burleigh's larger view of Bennington published in 1887, this view shows the town situated on the Walloomsac River, which appears in the foreground. At the top center is the 300-foot Bennington Battle Monument, begun in 1887 and completed in 1889. The lines of the Bennington & Rutland Rail Road and the Glastenbury Rail Road pass through the town, and many streets and roads are identified. The key at lower left (a reduced version of the key to the 1887 view) identifies twenty-four points of interest including churches, hotels, houses, monuments, military sites, railroad stations, library, court house, battle ground, and more. Perhaps the most notable detail in this view is a military encampment shown just to the right of center, which was not included in the 1887 version, and is most likely related to the 1891 Battle Monument dedication ceremony. One group of tents is identified as the "West Point Cadets' Camp" and a large tent nearby is identified as the "Banquet Tent." Lead by President Benjamin Harrison, the dedication ceremony was attended by tens of thousands. This pocket version of Burleigh's view was likely published for sale to those visiting the town for the dedication or to view the monument subsequently. Born in Plainfield, Connecticut, Lucien Rinaldo "L. R." Burleigh Jr. (1853-1923) was an artist, lithographer, and publisher based in Troy, New York who specialized in bird's eye views, operating under the firm names of Burleigh Lithograph Co. and Burleigh Lithograph Establishment. A graduate of the Worcester County Free Institute of Industrial Science (today's Worcester Polytechnic Institute), Burleigh published views of some 280 locations, 120 of which have been identified as his own. Listed in an 1883 city directory for Troy as a civil engineer, he is known to have been working as a lithographer and view publisher by 1885, producing views until 1892, most of them between 1885 and 1890. OCLC records two copies, at the Library of Congress and Vermont Historical Society. Reps records a single copy held by the University of Vermont.
