Description
London: Edward & Charles Dilly, 1773-'77. First Edition.. Full contemporary calf.. Very good; the front joint is strained.. 8vo, xx, [1] - 353, [1 - errata]; [2], [1] - 88 pp. + 2 copper engraved plates. A classic of the obstetrics literature. The book is filled with practical suggestions originating with the author. White made substantial headway towards the prevention of puerperal fever by insisting on the absolute cleanliness and isolation of infected patients. The book was translated into French and German and had an American printing as well. The original work of White is offered with the rare supplementary appendix issued separately years later. The appendix offers reflections of the author on his own work, further case studies, and an inquiry into the nature and origin of puerperal fever. G-M #6270 not noting the appendix.

Description
Amsterdam: De Appel, 1980. Tall quarto (29.5 x 21 cm). Original printed red and white cardstock wrappers; 92 pp., profusely illustrated. Some light soiling and browning to covers, interior clean, overall very good. A compendium of documentary material published in conjunction with an exhibition which was organized by the Foundation Holland Experimental Film in collaboration with the Foundation De Appel, presenting avant-garde film and video-based artworks from Conceptual, Action Body, and Land Artists, mostly Dutch and obscure Eastern European artists, including artists hailing from the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Yugoslavia. The preface to the catalogue reads in part, "Foundation De Appel organized an international ten-day art event, which took place between 20th-30th of September 1979; it comprised lectures, discussions, performances, installations, video, film, historical documentation, and an exhibition of photo works by visual artists, 15th-30th of September 1979...For several years Foundation De Appel endeavoured to follow the activities of certain visual artists from East-Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland and Yugoslavia...Several times a year important, international art manifestations are organized in Poland and Yugoslavia; many western artists are invited for these meetings. Rarely, however, avant-garde artists from Central Europe are invited to international art events which are regularly organized in West Europe and the USA. Believing that it was high time to break this one-way traffic, we decided to devote part of our 1979 programme to several artists from East-Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, and Yugoslavia." Some of the artists whose work is featured here include: Zoran Belic, Jerzy Beres, Gabor Body, Miklos Erdely, Tomimslav Gotovac, Agnes Hay, Sanja Ivecovic, Tomasz Konart, Dalibor Martinis, Dora Maurer, Jozef Robakowski, Mladen Stilnovic, Endre Tot, Jiri Valoch, Natalia LL, Karel Miler, and many others. A scarce work on the 1970's avant-garde in Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Yugoslavia, and East Germany. As of May 2023, OCLC locates six holdings in North American libraries.

Description
1887. Rowell, George Augustus (1804-92). Electric meteorology [cover title]. 8vo. Bound collection of previously issued pamphlets, irregularly paginated as usual. 3 plates (2 fold.). Oxford: Printed for the author, 1887. 207 x 135 mm. Original cloth, title in gilt on front cover, light wear to extremities, minor spotting on back cover. Tear in one plate, light foxing & browning, but very good. First Collected Edition. Rowell, a largely self-educated meterologist, believed that electricity was the principal agent in all weather-related phenomena. He published numerous pamphlets, letters, etc. advancing his meteorological theories; some of these, particularly his Essay on the Cause of Rain (1859), were well received by the scientific community. Toward the end of his life he had collections of his papers bound up in book form; these apparently varied in content, since our collection, containing 15 papers, differs from both the 18-paper collection catalogued by the University of Colorado, Boulder (cited in OCLC) and the 17-paper collection at Yale catalogued in NUC. These two copies are the only ones in North American libraries cited in these bibliographic sources. The major works in our collection include Rowell's Electric Meteorology: A Letter to the Right Hon. Earl of Carnarvon . . . on the Cause of Rain, Storms, the Aurora and Terrestrial Magnetism (1887); Electric Meteorology versus the Meteorological Theories of the Day (1885; with 1886 supplement); On the Cause of Terrestrial Magnetism (1885); A Lecture on the Storm in Wiltshire (1860); and On the Storm in the Isle of Wight, Sept. 28, 1876, and on the Causes of Storms (1876). DNB. See Wheeler Gift 1500, 2389 and 3839 (all included in this collection). .
