‎Alguier - 83 spécimens d'algues séchés et pressés au 19e siècle [BIOLOGIE MARINE]. French seaweed collection of 83 extremely well preserved samples from the 19th century [MARINE BIOLOGY]. ‎

‎Sans lieu, sans éditeur (manuscrit - pièce unique), sans date (circa 1870). In-8 - 18 x 25 cm. Reliure de l'époque en demi-chagrin rouge, dos à 4 nerfs, orné de caissons et petits fers dorés, titre doré "Algues marine" sur le dos. 85 planches. Alguier extrêmement soigné, composé à la fin du 19e siècle (vers 1870), recueillant 83 spécimens d'algues pressés sur 85 feuillets de papier fort. Planches montées sur onglet. Spécimens non-identifiés (non légendés), en excellent état de conservation. À la fin du XIXe siècle, la collecte et la conservation d'échantillons d'algues sont devenues un passe-temps populaire pour les Européens aisés. Ces collectionneurs passaient de nombreuses heures à sécher, presser et monter avec soin les spécimens qu'ils trouvaient au cours de leurs voyages. Leurs recueils illustrent ce phénomène de mode, mais présentent également, encore aujourd’hui, un intérêt scientifique, par exemple en permettant de constater si certaines variétés ont disparu. ‎

‎Taches sur le second plat, sinon très bel exemplaire aux échantillons d'une grande fraîcheur. no editor (unique piece, manuscript), No place (France), no date (circa 1870), bound. Stains on back side, otherwise a very fine copy with very fresh specimens. Bound in contemporary red half-shagreen, spine with 4 raised bands, decorated with gilded rectangular designs and small stamps, gilded title “Algues marine” on the spine. Dimensions : 7.08 x 9.85 inch. Extremely meticulous collection of thin seaweed samples, composed at the end of the 19th century (around 1870). 83 Specimens of seaweed pressed onto 85 sheets of strong paper. Plates mounted on guards. Unidentified specimens (not captioned), in excellent condition. In the late 19th century, collecting and preserving seaweed specimens became a popular pastime for wealthy Europeans. These collectors spent many hours carefully drying, pressing and mounting the specimens they found while travelling. Their collections not only illustrate this fashionable phenomenon, but are also of scientific interest to this day, for example, as a means of determining whether certain varieties have disappeared. - Clients Livre Rare Book : Les frais postaux indiqués sont ceux pour la France métropolitaine et la Corse, pour les autres destinations, merci de contacter la librairie pour connaître le montant des frais d'expédition, merci de votre compréhension.

‎Beweis, dass jede Menge wohlgeordnet werden kann. (Aus einem an Herrn Hilbert gerichteten Briefe). - [INTRODUCING BOTH ""THE AXIOM OF CHOICE"" AND ""THE WELL-ORDERING THEOREM""]‎

‎Leipzig, B.G. Teubner, 1904. 8vo. Bound in half cloth with five raised bands and gilt lettering to spine. In ""Mathematische Annalen. Begründet 1868 durch von A. Clebsch und C. Neumann. 59. Band."" Small bar-code pasted on to top left corner of front wrapper. Two library labels pasted on to pasted down front free end-paper and a small stamp to verso of title page. Pp. 514-16.‎

‎First appearence of this fundamental paper in metamathematics and mathematical logic in which he introduced both ""The Axiom of Choice"" and ""his sensational proof of the well-ordering theorem"" (DSB). By this paper Zermelo contributed decisively to the development of set-theory. Zermelo took up the problem, left over by Cantor, of what to do about the comparison of sets that are not well-ordered. ""In 1904 (the paper offered) he proved....that every set can be well-ordered. To make the proof he had to use what is now known as the axiom of choice (Zermelo's axiom), which states that given any collection of nonempty, disjoined sets, it is possible to choose one member from each set and so make up a new set. The axiom of choce, the well-ordering theorem, and the fact that any two sets may be compared as to size, are equivalent principles.""(Morris Kline). A controversy arose around ""The axiom of Choice"", from Bertrand Russell, Tarski, Frege, Hilbert, Brouwer and others, mainly, and of course importent, over how to interpret the words ""choose"" and ""exists"".The issue also contain the following papers of interest:David Hilbert.
