Description
London: Phil. Trans., [1793]. OFFPRINT.. Original blue paper wrappers.. Very good; some occasional spotting; front upper fore corner of wrapper reinforced; backstrip worn; wrappers chipped at the extremities; ownership stamp on the title.. 4to, [2], [3] - 64 pp + 3 folding tables and 6 large folding plates. The original offprint illustrating and explaining the design of the great Ramsden equatorial. The instrument and work described herein was the culmination of a life's work and experience. Commencing with the publication of his Description of a New Universal Equatorial Instrument in 1774 Ramsden embarked upon an unprecedented career. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1786 and winner of the Copley Medal ( for, '... various inventions and improvements in philosophical instruments.' ) in 1795. The quadrant described herein was constructed for George Shuckburgh's private observatory. The description of the device is lengthy (over 60 pages) and is accompanied by generous fold-out illustrations. Ramsden's workshop completed the commission to the delight of Shuckburgh who wrote: ' ... I am entitled to believe that the accuracy of these divisions under consideration is hardly to be equalled, and still less to be excelled, by that of any astronomical instrument in Europe ....' Schuckburgh presented this copy to a contemporary member of the Royal Society, Charles Englefield, scientist and mathematician. Daumas illustrates the instrument (plate 96) in his discussion Ramsden and astronomical instrumentation. Daumas, p. 170; King, Telescope, p. 171; DSB II, 284 -`5; Bennett, Divided Circle; see McConnell's book on Ramsden.

First published in 1629, with a second volume in 1639, this important analysis of Spanish colonial law was written by a Spanish jurist who served as a judge of the high court at Lima. Married to the Creole daughter of the governor of Cuzco and resident in Peru for eighteen years, he acquired an unparalleled knowledge of the law and history of the Indies. According to Gongora, his treatise is the "most systematic juridical formulation of the problems of legitimisation of dominion in the seventeenth century [and] enjoyed an unrivalled prestige in the official and legal circles of the Indies for a century and a half." It went through several editions in Latin and Spanish. OCLC locates 9 copies of our 1777 Latin edition in North America, 3 in law libraries (Columbia, Harvard, UT-Austin).

Description
[Exeter, NH: Philips Exeter Academy Student Peace Group, N.D. but ca.1962]. Two mimeographed sheets, printed in black on goldenrod stock and stapled at upper left corner; 21.5cm X 28cm (8.5" X 11"); [2pp]. Horizontal fold at center, with minor wear and a few tiny creases to extremities; Very Good+. A curious list of questions designed to prepare demonstrators or debaters for issues they might be challenged with in a public forum. The sheets are undated, but appear to be compiled around the time of the Cuban Missle Crisis. No imprint, but the preliminary sheet bears the rubber stamp of the Philips Exeter Academy Student Peace Group; it is unclear whether the questions were compiled by the Academy or merely used by them. The questions range from the obvious ("Why are you all here?") to questions of a more provocative nature ("What are you, a bunch of commies?, "Why don't you go back to Russia?," and "What would you do if Russia attacks? Remember Pearl Harbor"). No copies located in OCLC.
