Title: The Middlesex Harmony
Author: BABCOCK, Samuel
Seller: Savoy Books (United States)
Description: Boston: Isaiah Thomas and Ebenezer T. Andrews, 1795. Book. Oblong 12mo, original marbled wrappers, stitched. Pp. 55, (1). Lightly browned, discreet institutional labels on front and inside wrapper; fine. First edition. A collection of twenty-six original compositions. Babcock (d. 1813) was a singing master in Watertown, Mass. An edition of his collected works was published in 1999, edited by Laurie Sampsel, who writes: "Best known for his tunebook, Middlesex Harmony, Babcock composed extended and plain psalm tunes, set pieces, fugeing tunes, and anthems, and frequently used three-part vocal textures. He uniquely combined elements of both traditional and newer Methodist styles of psalmody." A handsome piece of printing by Thomas and Andrews, as the imprint boasts "printed typographically" (as opposed to the more typical engraving of musical works), with a title page in black-letter and Roman types, within an ornamental border. A perfect copy in original state. Evans 28221; Britton & Lowens 31..

Title: Of the Law of Nature and Nations
Author: PUFENDORF Samuel
Seller: Bauman Rare Books (United States)
Description: 1717. PUFENDORF, Samuel. Of the Law of Nature and Nations. Eight Books. London: R. Sare, R. Bonwicke, et al., 1717. Folio (9 by 14 inches), contemporary full brown calf, raised bands, red morocco spine label. $1800.Third edition in English of Pufendorfs landmark work on the law of nature and nations, De Jure Naturae et Gentium, a handsome folio edition.A landmark in the German Enlightenment, ""the De Jure Naturae is a large work in eight books which presents an entire system of jurisprudence, private, public and international, based on the conception of natural law. Pufendorf was a disciple of Grotius, and was considered of first rank by Kent"" (NYU 578). Pufendorf ""teaches that the will of the state is but the sum of the individual wills that constitute it, and that this association explains the state. In this a priori conception he shows himself as one of the precursors of J. J. Rousseau and of the Contrat social. Pufendorf powerfully defends the idea that international law is not restricted to Christendom, but constitutes a common bond between all nations because all nations form part of humanity"" (Britannica). First published in German in 1672 (and in English in 1703), this work was ""received with great favor and commented upon by the learned throughout all Europe. Pufendorf restored natural law to that superiority which belonged to it, and with great propriety treated the Law of Nations as only one main branch of the parent stock"" (Marvin 593-4). With chapters on such fundamental subjects as the will of man, the natural state of man, the law of nature, civil societies, moral actions, the structure of government, sovereignty, commonwealths, liberty, ""Despotical Power,"" ""All Men are by Nature Equal,"" ""The Mutual Duties of Humanity,"" ""Speech, and the Obligation which attends it,"" property, contracts, war and peace, and self-defense. With gap in pagination between pages 390-453; text complete. Interior clean and fine, contemporary calf binding with light rubbing and expert repairs.

Title: Travels in China, Containing Descriptions, Observations, and Comparisons Made and Collected in the Course of a Short Residence at the Imperial Palace of Yuen-Min-Yuen, and on the Subsequent Journey through the Country from Pekin to Canton..
Author: Barrow, John
Seller: Walkabout Books (United States)
Condition: Very good
Description: London: T.Cadell and W. Davies, 1804. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Quarto. pp. ix, [3], 632, with 8 plates (including frontispiece), five of which are hand-colored. Recent full calf with new endpapers, original red spine label preserved, three armorial ink stamps on the top edge of the text block. Tissue repair to first page of table of contents, ocasional foxing and minor soiling in the margins; overall quite clean and sound. "Barrow accompanied Lord Macartney's mission to the court of China in 1792 as his private secretary, and the present account...is one of the best illustrated English travels on China. The eight plates are from drawings by William Alexander, who also accompanied the embassy and later published his own work. The strict exclusion of Europeans by the Chinese emperors had left China very much terra incognita to the western world well into the nineteenth century. Barrow was an excellent observer, and the text contains a number of descriptions and illustrations of Chinese artifacts and novelties. Among these are a plate depicting musical instruments, extensive renditions of Chinese melodies in western western notation, and a long description, with illustration, of an abacus" (Hill 62). Historian Michael Adas notes that Barrow "interspersed descriptions of his travels and personal experiences with lengthy discussions of varying aspects of Chinese culture....His judgments on the quality of Chinese life and material culture tended to be favorable at the beginning of his residence in China but grew more and more disparaging as time passed." Unlike Jesuit writers who praised the sophistication of Chinese science and culture, Barrow argued that a once-great civilization had been on the decline since the fifteenth century, providing "an implicit contrast between static, past-minded, backward China and the continually improving, foreward-looking, industrializing states of Europe (Adas, Machines as the Measure of Man pp 179-180).

Description: Jena:: Gustav Fisher, 1914., 1914. 8vo. VI, 200 pp. Frontispiece portrait, 149 figures, 1 folding plate of the Zeiss factory; frontispiece spotted. Title-page inscription "Probst". Original full black gilt-stamped cloth; inner joint cracked at title, spine and extremities faded. Very good. Fourth edition. "In 1889, Auerbach took over the professorship of theoretical physics at the University of Jena which had been established by Ernst Abbe. As a Jew he was initially refused a full professorship; it was not until 1923 that this was granted to him. He became professor emeritus in 1927 . . . The rise of Adolf Hitler and the anti-Semitic climate in Germany made life unbearable for Felix and Anna Auerbach. After the Nazis seized power, both took their own lives. In his suicide note he stated that they "left the earthly life full of joy, after nearly 50 years of mutually blissful cohabitation". They died in Jena on 26 February 1933." [Wikip.].
