‎First printing - in full - of Thomas' paper on electron spin. The Thomas factor gives a correction to the spin-orbit interaction in quantum mechanics, which takes into account the relativistic time dilation between the electron and the nucleus of an atom.""In February 1926 the missing factor two was supplied (Nature vol. 117) by Llewellyn Thomas and has since been known as the Thomas factor. Thomas noted that earlier calculations of the precession of the electronic spin had been performed in the rest frame of the electron, without taking into account the precession of the electron orbit around its normal. Inclusion of this relativistic effect reduces the angular velocity of the electron (as seen by the nucleus) by the needed factor 1/2. Einstein was surprised. Pauli became converted.""

‎The very rare first edition of this extremely important collection of essays, three of which have now been proven to have been written by Thomas Hobbes, thus constituting his earliest published work. The work is now widely regarded a highly important source to the understanding of what is arguably the greatest political thinker of all time, providing us with unprecedented access to the early writings and thought of Thomas Hobbes. ""Studies of the early Hobbes can be enriched and deepened by a consideration of the formerly anonymous texts now identified as the philosopher's earliest work, namely the essays ""A Discourse on Tacitus"", ""A Discourse on Rome"", ""A Discourse on Laws"", found in a larger collection entitled ""Horae Subseciuae: Observations and Discourses"". Originally thought to have been the work of the young William Cavendish, who under Hobbes's supervision likely wrote the majority of the ""Horae"" essays, these three discourses have since been identified... as the work of Hobbes himself."" (Butler). ""The entire work consists of twelve essays or ""observations"" reminiscent in style and language of Bacon's essays and devoted to such topics as arrogance, expenses, reading history, religion, and death, and four much longer discourses, three of which we have been able to attribute to Hobbes."" (Reynolds & Saxenhouse p. 4). Efforts to identify the author of the ""Horae Subseciuae"" began almost immediately after its anonymous publication, and the publication has always been a source of speculation about the author. As it would turn out, all twelve essays were not written by the same author, and three of them were written by one of modernity's greatest philosophers. It was Leo Strauss who first provided something resembling evidence that the writings were by Thomas Hobbes. He had come upon the original manuscript and concluded that it was indeed in Hobbes's hand. But handwriting, of course, does not prove authorship. It does prove a connection, with the work, however, and the exact connection with the three essays would be proven some decades later, by Saxonhouse and Reynolds, who famously published the three essays together, under Hobbes's name for the first time. ""For the first time in three centuries, this book brings back into print three discourses now confirmed to have been written by the young Thomas Hobbes. Their contents may well lead to a resolution of the long-standing controversy surrounding Hobbes's early influences and the subsequent development of his thought. The volume begins with the recent history of the discourses, first published as part of the anonymous seventeenth-century work, ""Horae Subsecivae"". Drawing upon both internal evidence and external confirmation afforded by new statistical ""wordprinting"" techniques, the editors present a compelling case for Hobbes's authorship. Saxonhouse and Reynolds present the complete texts of the discourse with full annotations and modernized spellings. These are followed by a lengthy essay analyzing the pieces' significance for Hobbes's intellectual development and modern political thought more generally. The discourses provide the strongest evidence to date for the profound influences of Bacon and Machiavelli on the young Hobbes, and they add a new dimension to the much-debated impact of the scientific method on his thought. The book also contains both introductory and in-depth explanations of statistical ""wordprinting."" Saxonhouse and Reynolds met each other at a conference in 1988 and decided to join forces to determine, whether Thomas Hobbes was the actual author of the ""Horae Subseciuae"", which had often been speculated. ""Fortuitously, Reynolds was closely involved with statisticians at Bringham Young University who have done some of the most important work in developing statistical techniques for identifying authorship for disputed texts, or ""wordprinting."" ...The results relative to the ""Horae Subseciuae"" were both exhilarating and disappointing. The three discourses published here could definitely be attributed to Hobbes, but the volume's twelve shorter essays or observations which draw heavily on Baconian themes and language, portraying the passionate young aristocrat with all his foibles, and the fourth discourse, were authored by someone else - perhaps Hobbes's tutee, but clearly not Hobbes himself. While it would have been more satisfying to have the entire work match Hobbes's later writings, we thought that the identification of the three discourses as previously unrecognized and unacknowledged Hobbesian works was of great significance and that they were worthy of republication. These three discourses give us direct access to Hobbes's intellectual concerns and motivating interests at a point almost two decades earlier than was possible through his previous recognized writings."" (Reynolds & Saxenhouse, pp. VII-VIII). Apart from a poem in his hand, nothing had remained to help us understand the early intellectual development of Hobbes and the early influences upon his thought, before his translation of Thucydides, which appeared in 1627, when he was almost 40 years old. These important early texts give us access to Hobbes's early thought, thereby letting us understand how he developed his political science. Shortly after taking his degree, Hobbes became engaged as a tutor to the Cavendish family, with whom he maintained a close connection for the rest of his life. Hobbes was first hired to serve as a tutor and companion to William Cavendish, later the Second Earl of Devonshire, and subsequently taught William's son and grandson. In 1610, Hobbes and his first charge embarked on a grand tour of the continent, traveling primarily to France and Italy.Hobbes remained with William for the next twenty years, later serving as his secretary and becoming a close friend and confidant. It has previously been thought that Hobbes published nothing during this time, but as it has recently turned out, he did indeed contribute the three essays ""A Discourse on Tacitus"", ""A Discourse on Rome"", ""A Discourse on Laws"" to the ""Horae Subseciuae"", that was presumably publiahed by William Cavendish, who arguably wrote if not all, then most of the other essays in the volume. Shortly after William died, Hobbes published the first translation of Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War into English (1628). During this period, Hobbes also worked occasionally for the Lord Chancellor and great scientist Francis Bacon, who highly valued him as a secretary, translator, and conversation partner, and to whom the present work has also be ascribed during the centuries.

‎First edition of Thomas Whately's ""important and extremely rare"" (Higgs) work on British trade and finance primarily in the New World. This is the first thorough and first full description and defense of the the first direct tax ever levied by Parliament upon the colonies. The implementation of this tax resulted in the Boston Massacre and the formation of the Boston Tea Party and, eventually, in the expulsion of the British in 1776. By publishing the present defense, Thomas Whately earned himself a prominent place in the events that led to the American Revolution.""Thomas Whately, the most influential British official in colonial policy in his time, published a work on British trade and finances in 1766 [the present work] with this as his opening sentence: ""That the wealth and power of Great-Britain depend upon its trade is a proposition, which it would be equally absurd in these times to dispute or prove"". In the same year, Edmund Burke asserted that ""liberty and commerce"" were ""the true basis of its [Britain's] power."" (Draper, A Struggle for Power: The American Revolution].This policy eventually became fatal: In 1765 the Stamp Act was the first direct tax ever levied by Parliament upon the colonies. All newspapers, almanacs, pamphlets and official documents had to have the stamps. All 13 colonies protested heavily, as popular leaders like Henry in Virginia and Otis in Massachusetts rallied the people in opposition. Thomas Whately (1726-1772), an English politician and writer, was a Member of Parliament, who served as Commissioner on the Board of Trade, as Secretary to the Treasury under Lord Grenville, and as Under- secretary of State under Lord North.

‎Rare first edition of Willis’ enlarged sermon first preached in Westminiter Abbey. The sermon addresses the social, political, and moral concerns of the timevemphasizes the importance of recognizing the signs of perilous times and offers guidance on how to navigate through them as good Christians. “Thomas Willis (d. 1692), was educated first in his father's school and afterwards at St. John's College, Oxford, where he was created M.A. on 17 Dec. 1646, by virtue of the letters of Sir Thomas Fairfax. He was possibly the ‘Mr. Thomas Willis, minister, who was chaplain to the regiment of Col. Payne, part of the brigade under the command of Major-general Brown.’ In 1646 he was appointed minister of Twickenham in Middlesex, and was instituted on 8 Oct. In 1651 he had his stipend increased by 100l. a year from tithes belonging to the dean and canons of Windsor. He was one of the commissioners for the county of Middlesex and city of Westminster for the ejection of ignorant and scandalous ministers. In August 1660 the inhabitants of Twickenham petitioned parliament for his removal. In the petition he is described as not having been of either university, but ‘bred in New England,’ and not ‘a lawfully ordained minister.’ In 1661 he was deprived of the living, but afterwards conforming he was instituted to the rectory of Dunton in Buckinghamshire on 4 Feb. 1663, holding it in conjunction with the vicarage of Kingston-on-Thames, to which he was instituted on 21 Aug. 1671. At this time he was chaplain-in-ordinary to the king, and had been created D.D. in 1670. He died on 8 Oct. 1692, and was buried at Kingston, Surrey.” (DNB).‎

‎The scarce and magnificent Tridino-edition of the seminal third part of the Summa Theologiae, Aquinas' unfinished magnum opus, of which each part constitutes a work in its own right, the third dealing with Christology. It is here that we find Aquinas' groundbreaking ""Five Ways"", his five arguments for the existence of God, arguably the most influential demonstration that God exists ever written. Each individual part of the ""Summa"" has its own separate printing history and its own bibliography, and the three parts are not expected to be found together. The ""Pars Tertia"" was printed for the first time in the 1470'ies, by Michael Wenssler. A reissue of this appeared in 1485. The present edition, by the renowned Venice book printer Tridino, constitutes the second edition of this landmark work of Western thought and the third appearance overall. Aquinas wrote his seminal magnum opus, the ""Summa Theologiae"", as an instructional guide for theology students and those interested in understanding Christian theology. Together, the three volumes that he wrote present the reasoning for almost all parts of Christian theology in the West, following a cycle beginning and ending with God, in between which we find Creation, Man, the Purpose of Man, Christ, and the Sacraments (unfinished), the third part dealing with Christ, the most fundamental question of the existence of God, and man's way of knowing him to exist. Although he left the ""Summa"" as such unfinished, the individual parts have come to form ""one of the classics of the history of philosophy and one of the most influential works of Western literature."" (Ross, James F.: ""Summa theologiae, Christian Wisdom Explained Philosophically"", 2003. P. 165). Determining that the way which leads to God is Christ, the path to God becomes the theme of Pars III of the ""Summa"", where we find Aquinas' Christology developed in full, his seminal demonstration of the existence of God, and his assertation of the necessity of the incarnation. Centering on the unity of the divine and human in the person of Christ, Pars III argues that all human potentialities are made perfect in Jesus. Aquinas here focuses on Christ's true humanity, including his birth, passion, resurrection, and the symbolism of the cross, and combines the Christian and the non-Christian in a synthesis that comes to be defining for all later Christian thought and theological philosophy. The most famous and influential part of Pars III of the ""Summa"", however, is probably Aquinas' considerations of - and arguments for - the existence of God. Exploring the rational belief in God, amongst other things, Aquinas here presents his ""Five Ways"" for the first time. ""Aquinas considers whether we can prove that God exists in many places in his writings. But his best-known arguments for the existence of God come in Ia, 2, 3(the ""Five Ways"")... [i]t would be foolish to suggest that the reasoning of the Five Ways can be quickly summarized in a way that does them justice. But their substance can be indicated in fairly uncomplicated terms. In general, Aquinas' Five Ways employ a simple pattern of argument. Each begins by drawing attention to some general feature of things known to us on the basis of experience. It is then suggested that none of these features can be accounted for in ordinary mundane terms, and that we must move to a level of explanation which transcends any with which we are familiar..."" (Marenbon, Medieval Philosophy, 2004. Pp. 244-45). ""The Five Ways, Latin Quinquae Viae, in the philosophy of religion, the five arguments proposed by St. Thomas Aquinas (1224/25-1274) as demonstrations of the existence of God. Aquinas developed a theological system that synthesized Western Christian (and predominantly Roman Catholic) theology with the philosophy of the ancient Greek thinker Aristotle (384-322 BCE), particularly as it had been interpreted by Aristotle's later Islamic commentators. In his ""Summa Theologica"", which he intended as a primer for theology students, Aquinas devised five arguments for the existence of God, known as the Five Ways, that subsequently proved highly influential. While much of Aquinas's system is concerned with special revelation-the doctrine of the Incarnation of God's Word in Jesus Christ-the Five Ways are examples of natural theology. In other words, they are a concerted attempt to discern divine truth in the order of the natural world. Aquinas's first three arguments-from motion, from causation, and from contingency-are types of what is called the cosmological argument for divine existence. Each begins with a general truth about natural phenomena and proceeds to the existence of an ultimate creative source of the universe. In each case, Aquinas identifies this source with God. Aquinas's first demonstration of God's existence is the argument from motion. He drew from Aristotle's observation that each thing in the universe that moves is moved by something else. Aristotle reasoned that the series of movers must have begun with a first or prime mover that had not itself been moved or acted upon by any other agent. Aristotle sometimes called this prime mover ""God."" Aquinas understood it as the God of Christianity. The second of the Five Ways, the argument from causation, builds upon Aristotle's notion of an efficient cause, the entity or event responsible for a change in a particular thing. Aristotle gives as examples a person reaching a decision, a father begetting a child, and a sculptor carving a statue. Because every efficient cause must itself have an efficient cause and because there cannot be an infinite chain of efficient causes, there must be an immutable first cause of all the changes that occur in the world, and this first cause is God. Aquinas's third demonstration of God's existence is the argument from contingency, which he advances by distinguishing between possible and necessary beings. Possible beings are those that are capable of existing and not existing. Many natural beings, for example, are possible because they are subject to generation and corruption. If a being is capable of not existing, then there is a time at which it does not exist. If every being were possible, therefore, then there would be a time at which nothing existed. But then there would be nothing in existence now, because no being can come into existence except through a being that already exists. Therefore, there must be at least one necessary being-a being that is not capable of not existing. Furthermore, every necessary being is either necessary in itself or caused to be necessary by another necessary being. But just as there cannot be an infinite chain of efficient causes, so there cannot be an infinite chain of necessary beings whose necessity is caused by another necessary being. Rather, there must be a being that is necessary in itself, and this being is God. Aquinas's fourth argument is that from degrees of perfection. All things exhibit greater or lesser degrees of perfection. There must therefore exist a supreme perfection that all imperfect beings approach yet fall short of. In Aquinas's system, God is that paramount perfection. Aquinas's fifth and final way to demonstrate God's existence is an argument from final causes, or ends, in nature (see teleology). Again, he drew upon Aristotle, who held that each thing has its own natural purpose or end. Some things, however-such as natural bodies-lack intelligence and are thus incapable of directing themselves toward their ends. Therefore, they must be guided by some intelligent and knowledgeable being, which is God."" (Encycl. Britt.). ""Thomas Aquinas's ""Summa theological"" was originally written as a teaching document, a guide for beginning theology students. At more than 3,500 pages, it may seem an intimidating introduction to Christian theology"" however, the influence of the ""Summa"" exceeds its volume. Aquinas's work influenced every subject in the liberal arts, especially astronomy, logic, and rhetoric. Aquinas's methodical disputations, rhetorical style, and logic are as much an education as his insights on the balance of faith and reason within Christian doctrine."" (University of Dayton Library). ""During the high Middle Ages theology itself underwent important changes. In the eleventh and twelfth centuries, the study of logic and dialectic began to expand at the expense of grammar and rhetoric… Another change that accompanied this development was the effort to transform Christian doctrine from scattered pronouncements of Scripture, the Councils, and the Church Fathers into a coherent and systematic body of statements. This process culminates in Peter Lombard's ""Sentences""…, and in St. Thomas Aquinas' ""Summa Theologiae""."" (Kristeller, Renaissance Thought and its Sources, 1979. P. 117).

‎The extremely scarce first edition of the first collected edition of Hobbes' works, being the most desirable, the most sought-after and by far the most important. It is to this collected edition that one still refers when quoting Hobbes' works academically. It is furthermore here that Hobbes' seminal main work, Leviathan, appears for the first time in Latin.It is a great rarity to find all eight parts of this seminal edition, all of which were probably also sold separately from the printer, together and complete. Another edition of the work appeared later the same year, also with Amsterdam, Blaeu imprint, but actually printed in London. That edition, which is the one found in most library-holdings, is much more common and far less desireable, albeit still rare. ""Il faut voir si les huit parties indiquées sur un f. après le frontispiece sont réunies dans l'exempl. Il y a une édit. moins complète faite à Londres, sous la même dat"" on y lit sur le frontispice, après le nom de Blaeu: ""prostant etiam Londini apud Corn. Bee"". Le portrait de Hobbes, par Faithorne, a été ajouté à quelques exemplaires."" (Brunet III:239-40).""According to Macdonald&Hargreaves, ""[t]here seems to be no uniformity in the order of arrangement of the eight sections of this work. We have seen three (2 vol.) copies bound in the order given on *2r (q.v. in contents) and have arranged the collaction the same way."" Our copy is bound in exactly this way. The hugely important ""Opera Philosophica... Omnia"", or ""Opera Omnia"" as it is often referred to, constitutes Hobbes' only successful attempt to have his philosophy published during the period. In 1662 the Licensing Act, a statute requiring that all books had to be approved in advance of publication by the Archbishop of Canterbury or the Bishop of London, was enforced, after which Hobbes found himself completely barred from having his political, theological, and historical works published. After his hugely successful 1668 Latin ""Opera Omnia"", printed in Amsterdam, he did not dare publish his works abroad either, however, and the ""Opera Omnia"" remained the only important philosophical or political work of his to be published during the period. It was a great sales success. The most important part of the 8 part comprising ""Opera Omnia"" is the 378 page long final part, which constitutes the editio princeps of the Latin translation of Hobbes' groundbreaking main work, the work from which the ""social contract"" theory originates, his seminal ""Leviathan. ""The Latin ""Leviathan"" was published towards the end of 1668 within the framework of an edition of Hobbes's collected Latin works, the so-called ""Opera Omnia"" [i.e. Opera Philosophica... Omnia], published with Johan Blaeu in Amsterdam. ""Leviathan, sive De Metria, Forma, & Potestate Civitatis Ecclesisticae et Civilis. Authore Thoma Hobbes, Malmesburiensi"" is the eighth and last piece of this collection and the only one published there (in Latin) for the first time"" it is therefore the only text to receive (on its last page) a list of errata. The three chapters making up an ""Appendix ad Leviatham"" (and replacing the ""Review and Conclusion"" of the English edition) need not detain us here, as they are proper to the Latin version. We only want to note in passing that the few translations from the English ""Leviathan"" contained in the last chapter of his ""Appendix"" was worked out independently of the translation and in fact prior to it."" (Rogers, Karl Schuhmann, ""Thomas Hobbes Leviathan, Vol. 1"", p. 241).Not only is this the first Latin edition of Hobbes' main work, it is furthermore of great importance to the study of the Leviathan and to the understanding of the development of Hobbes' thought. All later editions of the Latin version of ""Leviathan"" are greatly corrected and none of them appear in the same version as the present one, which provides us with the text in the form that comes closest to what Hobbes himself desired his masterpiece to be. ""[...] Given these results, we may conclude that LL [i.e. the 1668 Latin Leviathan] should be counted an important source for the text of the English ""Leviathan"". LL is definitely more than a translation that teaches us little or nothing about the text translated. On the contrary, it is based on an independent manuscript copy of ""Leviathan"", and more specifically on a copy Hobbes had kept with him all the time and had apparently continued to annotate and correct. The variants of LL must therefore be treated with the greatest care wherever there are textual problems in ""Leviathan"", and not only in those cases in which the text of all English versions is defective. Even where it is a matter of deciding between given variants, LL should have an important, if not decisive voice. Given the fact that LL was worked out integrally by Hobbes at a rather late date, it must also be considered to contain his last decisions regarding the text as a whole. (Rogers, Karl Schuhmann, ""Thomas Hobbes Leviathan, Vol. 1"", p. 249).Soon after this first Latin edition, many others appeared:""So far, when speaking of LL [i.e. Leviathan in the Latin version] and quoting this work, we have always and only been referring to its 1668 edition as published within Hobbes' ""Opera Omnia"". But there were also other editions after that date. The first of these appeared in 1670 as a separate edition. It has, unsurprisingly the same imprint as the 1668 edition, for it was published as before with Johan Blaeu, who only added to the title page the bibliographical information ""Amstelodami, Apud Joannem Blaeu. M.DC.LXX."" Another separate edition was published ""Londini. Apud Johannem Tomsoni. M.DC.LXXVI."" and a third one, also with John Thom(p)son, ""Londini Typis Joannis Thomsonii, M.DC.LXXVIII.""."" (Rogers, Karl Schuhmann, ""Thomas Hobbes Leviathan, Vol. 1"", p. 250).Macdonad&Hargreaves: 104" Brunet III:239-40.‎

Probably due to the controversial theme of the work, Thomas Mann was hesitant to immediately handing over the manuscript to his regular publisher S.

He did give Fischer the work to publish, though, and thus it came to appear both in Fischer's ""Neue Rundschau"", over two months, and with Weber's Hyperionverlag. While the first part of the work was being published in ""Die neue Rundschau"", the luxury edition was being prepared, and in the end, the luxury edition was only issued (shortly) after the second and final part had appeared in ""Die neue Rundschau"" in November 1912. Shortly after the famous luxury edition, in 1913, Fischer published the first trade edition in book form. By 1924, 50.000 copies of the work had appeared in this form. Thomas Mann's disturbing masterpiece, probably the most famous story of obsession ever written, is considered one of the most important literary productions of the 20th century. ‎

‎The very rare first edition of all five volumes of Bartholin's groundbreaking medical journal, which constitutes the first scientific periodical in Scandinavia and one of the very first medical periodicals in the world. Thomas Bartholin (1616-1680) was one of the leading physicians of his time, now remembered, among many other things, as the discoverer of the lymphatic system. He ""was the most celebrated physician of his period in Denmark and perhaps in all of Europe"". (Kronick, p. 81). He is considered ""a typical representative of the ""Curiosi naturae"" of the 17th century with all their learning, diligence and insatiable spirit of curiosity... He belonged with all his heart to the learned period, and yet he made an anatomical-physiological discovery of high mark when he found, and demonstrated, a hitherto entirely unknown vascular system in animals, and later in man - the lymphatic."" (Meisen, p. 25). He was a hugely influential and extremely productive man. Apart from his seminal discovery of the lymphatic system, he wrote a number of highly influential treatises, published a series of very influential anatomical papers, published his vast correspondence with other scientists, which has the character of a scientific archive at a time when there were not yet periodicals of natural science, provided us with the most extensive information about medicine in Denmark and about the conditions of the physicians, called attention to the significance of pathological anatomy, etc., etc., and ""[y]et the greatest importance is to be attached to his ""Acta medica philosophica Hafniensia"", in 5 volumes, that was published from 1673 to 1680, when he died. It is a scientific periodical, wide in its scope, one of the first of its kind."" (Meisen, p. 28). ""The Copenhagen biologists, under the quickening influence of Thomas Bartholin, produced five volumes of transactions known as the Acta medica et philosophica Hafniensia, which is now very rare."" (Hagenströmer)The leading contributors to the periodical, besides Bartholin himself, was the great Niels Steensen (Steno), Holger Jacobsen (Jacobaeus), Caspar Bartholin, Ole Borch (Borrichius), Ole Worm, Simon Paulli, Johan Rohde, Caspar Kölichen, etc., but the contributions were not confined to Danes or Scandinavians. For instance, the English anatomist Edward Tyson (1650-1708) also published here, as did several other internationally famous physicians and scientists. Interestingly, the ""Acta Hafniensia"", as it is known, has a great focus on the odd and curious, the astounding and marvelous, the unnatural and abnormal. Thorndike claims that ""Monsters and freaks of nature receive perhaps the most attention."" (vol. VIII, p. 234). However, the journal was far from limited to this. ""Thomas Bartholin describes the male mandrill illustrated by three anatomical plates (Male genitalia) and a figure of the entire animal, which had died of disease in the Royal Menagerie. Holger Jacobsen describes the scorpion, the salamander, snakes, several birds, the heron and the parrot (based on dissections and figures by Steno). He also investigated the fascinating and unique anatomical puzzle of the tongue of the black woodpecker (with plate). He gives an exceptionally interesting account of the mole cricket, Gryllotalpa, which is important as being one of the first in which the elongated segmental heart of insects is described and figured. This memoir is a commendable piece of zootomical research, and it is all the more outstanding because the subject of it was an invertebrate (Cole). The most outstanding contributions in the entire periodical, however, are the 12 by Niels Steensen (Steno), which are all printed here for the first time. Steensen was the most gifted of Bartholin's disciples, and when he returned to Denmark in 1672, he immediately took up anatomical demonstrations and dissections, the fruits of which he published here, in the first three volumes of the ""Acta Hafniensia"". His contributions constitute important finds in the fields of The Brain, The Heart, The Muscles and General Embryology. ""Steno's dissections of the muscles of the eagle, Aquila (1673) is one of the most remarkable essays in zootomy published up to his time, and it is perhaps more detailed and reliable than almost any other."" (Cole). (Gosch 24).In the paper ""Embryo monsto affinis Parisiis dissectus"" (Gosch 15), we have the first known description of the ""tetralogy of Fallot"" (Garrison & Morton no 2726.1). ""Bartholin was the most celebrated physician of his period in Denmark and perhaps in all of Europe. He was professor of anatomy at the University of Copenhagen and later became Dean of its Medical Faculty. The publication seems also to have associated with the activities of a scientific society, although there seems to be little evidence for Neuberger's statement that the ""Acta"" were the proceedings of this society. The preface to the translation of the ""Acta"" which are included in the ""Collection Académique"" gives the following account of its origins: ""The Academy of Copenhagen was founded by Frederick III, who was aware how much glory it brought to him and to Denmark by encouraging the sciences and by attracting and holding scientists in his kingdom. One finds little to clarify the history of this academy, even in the five published volumes. The editing of the memoirs was principally under the care of Bartholin, the first Dane to publish medical observations. His aim was first to make a collection which embraced all parts of science"" but, deterred by the immensity of the task, he limited himself to the different parts of medicine and to those observations that were offered to him. His sponsor was Count Griffenfeld, the grand chancellor of Denmark, who obtained an edict enjoining all Danish physicians to render exact correspondence with the Dean of the Faculty of Copenhagen and to inform him of all singularities in medicine and natural history observed in different parts of the kingdom. Bartholin had great hopes for this collection and one can truly find in the five volumes which he published many discoveries which would have been lost or perhaps not have existed if this correspondence had not brought them to light and encouraged him."" The ""Acta"" consisted primarily in short original observations on medical and natural scientific subjects, although it also contained a few abstracts of books."" (Kronick p. 81).

Goodwin was known for his deep Calvinist theology, practical spirituality, and emphasis on the application of scripture in Christian life. He served as chaplain to Oliver Cromwell, and was appointed by Parliament as President of Magdalen College, Oxford, in 1650. Christopher Hill places Goodwin in the ""main stream of Puritan thought"". “Most of Goodwin’s theological writings were written when he was older and were published after he died.

La guerre d'Espagne - Juillet 1936 - mars 1939. . Thomas Hugh:

‎"Dans cette édition entièrement révisée de sa fameuse histoire de La guerre d'Espagne, Hugh Thomas présente une analyse objective d'un conflit dans lequel se trouvèrent engagés à la fois le fascisme et la démocratie, le communisme et le christianisme, le centralisme et le régionalisme, et qui fut une guerre civile internationale, tout autant qu'espagnole. C'est à juste titre, pensons-nous, que Michael Foot a écrit dans un journal anglais : "Un livre prodigieux. C'est avec une application sans bornes, littéralement inouïe, et une intelligence de tous les instants que l'auteur a su réunir et étudier toutes les connaissances possibles et imaginables sur l'épisode le plus héroïque et le plus pitoyable de ce siècle." Cyril Connolly, à son tour, dans le Sunday Times, écrivait : "Je l'ai lu de la première à la dernière page, tout simplement captivé... Hugh Thomas possède la plus haute qualité de l'historien, un formidable appétit de détails et le sens de l'essentiel... Dans ce superbe ouvrage, il n'est pratiquement aucun aspect de la guerre civile, aussi douloureux ou impopulaire soit-il, qui lui ait échappé." " ‎

‎Rare fifth edition of this puritan classic containing five works on the great difficulty of obtaining a saving conversion. Thomas Shepard was an English, later American Puritan minister and a significant figure in early colonial New England.All his works and different editions from early and mid 17th century are scarce and rarely found in the trade. Thomas Shepard was born in Towcester, Northamptonshire, on November 5, 1605. Despite obstacles, he pursued education, eventually attending Emmanuel College, Cambridge. After a period of spiritual turmoil, Shepard experienced a profound conversion and became ordained as a deacon and priest in 1627. He faced challenges due to his nonconformist beliefs and eventually emigrated to Massachusetts in 1635, where he became a pastor in Newtown (now Cambridge). He played a key role in establishing Harvard College and was influential in the theological controversies of his time. Shepard was known for his evangelistic zeal and commitment to education. He advocated for support for needy students, instituted public confession of faith and promoted Congregational church governance. He also supported Native American missions and left a lasting impact on early New England theology. Shepard married three times and had several children. He died on August 25, 1649, in Cambridge.‎

‎First edition of Manton’s commentary on James which not only is regarded as being his finest work but also as being “one of the best expositions ever written on James”. (Beeke, Meet the Puritans). Thomas Manton, born on March 31, 1620, in Lydeard St. Lawrence. Thomas received his early education at the free school in Tiverton, Devon. At the age of sixteen, he enrolled at Wadham College, Oxford, where he pursued his studies. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1639, followed by a Bachelor of Divinity degree in 1654, and finally, a Doctorate of Divinity degree in 1660, all from Oxford University. Ordained to the diaconate at the age of twenty in 1640 by Joseph Hall, Manton served as a lecturer at the parish church of Sowton near Exeter, Devonshire, for three years. Manton quickly rose to prominence as a leading Presbyterian figure in London, leveraging his influence to advocate for the establishment of Presbyterian church governance and to promote public peace during turbulent periods. He played a significant role in the Westminster Assembly, where he was appointed one of three clerks, and delivered numerous sermons before Parliament during the Commonwealth era. “Manton was remembered at his funeral as “the king of preachers.” Bates said that he never heard him deliver a poor sermon and commended his ability to “represent the inseparable connection between Christian duties and privileges.” Archbishop James Ussher described Manton as “a voluminous preacher” and “one of the best in England.” That is certainly evident from Manton’s many writings, most of which are sermons.” (Beeke, Meet the Puritans).‎

‎Rare early German account of Admiral Thomas Mathews life, published only one year after his catastrophic Battle at Toulon. During this battle, the British Royal Navy, under the command of Admiral Thomas Mathews, engaged with the combined fleets of France and Spain. The battle was marked by a series of misunderstandings and miscommunications among the British commanders. The most notable incident was the indecisive nature of the engagement, and Mathews faced criticism for not pressing the attack more aggressively. Following the battle, Mathews faced a court-martial in England, where he was found guilty of not doing his utmost to destroy the enemy and was relieved of his command. The outcome of the court-martial was controversial, with some arguing that Mathews was unfairly scapegoated for the failures of the overall campaign. Mathews was tried and convicted of the charges, and dismissed from the navy. He returned to his estates at Llandaff, before moving to London and dying there in 1751.‎

‎First edition of Bartholin's important work on anesthetic: ""The first work after Avicenna to discuss the use of snow as an anesthetic."" (Garrison & Morton). ""Chapter XXII of this historically important book makes the first known mention of the use of mixtures of ice and snow for freezing to produce surgical anesthesia. The author states that the technique was taught to him by one Marco Aurelio Severino of Naples. In order not to kill the tissues and cause gangrene, the ice-snow mixture was to be applied on the parts in narrow parallel lines. After a quarter of an hour feeling would be deadened and the part could be cut without pain. This may be the first mention of such a technique since the time of Avicenna."" (Heirs of Hippocrates 326). Thomas Bartholin (1616-1680) was one of the leading physicians of his time, now remembered, among many other things, as the discoverer of the lymphatic system. He ""was the most celebrated physician of his period in Denmark and perhaps in all of Europe"". (Kronick, p. 81). He is considered ""a typical representative of the ""Curiosi naturae"" of the 17th century with all their learning, diligence and insatiable spirit of curiosity... He belonged with all his heart to the learned period, and yet he made an anatomical-physiological discovery of high mark when he found, and demonstrated, a hitherto entirely unknown vascular system in animals, and later in man - the lymphatic."" (Meisen, p. 25). He was a hugely influential and extremely productive man. Apart from his seminal discovery of the lymphatic system, he wrote a number of highly influential treatises, published a series of very influential anatomical papers, published his vast correspondence with other scientists, which has the character of a scientific archive at a time when there were not yet periodicals of natural science, provided us with the most extensive information about medicine in Denmark and about the conditions of the physicians, called attention to the significance of pathological anatomy, etc., etc., Heirs of Hippocrates 326.Osler 1933.Wellcome II, p. 107.Garrison & Morton 5645.90‎

‎Scarce first French edition - consisting in all the original 39 maps of the 1775 English edition (all (but Antigua) dated 1775) and the engraved double title-page in English, preceded by a French title, preliminary discourse (also in French), and index - of Jeffery's seminal West-India atlas, one of the most important works on the West Indies and the work that we have to thank for the introduction of ""Carribean"" as the designation that was to become standard on maps. The work played a pivotal rôle in the geo- and cartographical denomination of places and areas in this part of the world. In his preface, Jefferys does away with previous terms applied by geographers: ""La division des Espagnols, & elle se trouve tout-à la fois physique & politique, fut adoptée bientôt par les Anglois, les Hollandois & queslques autres peuples"" la plûpart des navigateurs & des marchands en s'y conformant, ont imposé depuis longtemps à tous les Géographes la nécessité de diviser l'Amerique en trois parties, savoir, ""Amerique du Nord"", ""Indes Occidentales"", ""Amerique du Sud."" Mais les Géographes, surtout les Francois, ont perséveré dans leur ancienne division, probablement parce qu'ils aiment à se répéter, & souvent aussi à se copier l'un l'autre."" (From the preface, p.2). (i.e.: ""The division of the Spanish, and this is found in both physics & polics, was soon adopted by the English, the Dutch & some other populations"" the main part of navigators and merchants have complyed herewith and have long made clear to geographers the necessity to divide America into three parts, namely, ""North America"", ""West Indies"", ""South America."" But geographers, especially the French, have persevered in their old division, probably because they like to repeat, and often also to copy, one another"").But not only does Jefferys extend this denominal division of America to geographers and cartographers, he also (re-)introduces the designation that was to become standard of the Caribbean: ""Les premier Espagnols l'appellèrent Mer du Nord lorsqu'ils eurent découvert une nouvelle mer au delà de l'isthme de Panama. Quelquefois on lui a donné le nom de ""Mer Caribe"" ou ""Caribenne"", qu'il auroit mieux volu adopter que de laisser anonyme un aussi vaste espace."" (From the preface, p. 2, 1).- ""Although the best-known sea of the New World, the Caribbean remained nameless longest. It was the original Mar del Norte, a term promptly extended to all parts of the western atlantic. Velasco tried to find a proper name for it, saying: ""de los Canibales llaman el golfo grande del mar Océano desde de Deseada y Dominica por toda la costa de Tierra Firme, Yucatán, Golfo de Tierra Firme y de las islas del mar del Norte."" This compiler in Spain, regarding the maps before him, made the distinction we do between Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. (Gulf of Tierra Firme was that of Darién.) Velasco remained in manuscript until the nineteenth century, and I do not know that his Gulf of the Cannibals was ever thus known. In the introduction to his ""West Indian Atlas"", Thomas Jefferys wrote, two centuries later: ""It has been sometimes called the Caribbean-Sea, which name it would be better to adopt, than to leave this space quite anonymous"""" he did so on his map. North European nations at the time were in possession of the Carib islands (the Lesser Antilles) and it is perhaps thus that Jefferys introduced the designation that was to become standard on maps but was not adopted in Spanish lands."" (C.O. Sauer, ""The Early Spanish Main"", p. 2). As one of the earliest documentations of the West Indies, Jefferys' seminal ""West-India Atlas"" was informed by prevailing attitudes about the legitimacy of Britain's colonial enterprises and contemporary debates surrounding the abolition and emancipation movements and played a significant rôle in the spreading of knowledge regarding this part of the world. Jefferys himself, one of the most prominent and prolific map publishers and engravers of his day, was opposed to the slave-trade, which unfortunately hinged upon the sugar trade that the atlas was designed to aid, and also spoke out against it. The English cartographer Thomas Jefferys (c. 1719-1771), ""Royal Geographer to King George III"" was the leading map supplier of his day and as such had access to information that many other cartographers did not. He engraved and printed maps for government and other official bodies and produced a wide range of commercial maps and atlases, most famously of America and the West Indies.Having died in 1771, he did not live to see the publication of his great ""West India Atlas"", which was published by Robert Sayer, who, in partnership with John Bennett, had acquired his maps. Thus, the West India Atlas was published posthumously, under Jefferys' name. Philips III:p. 570.‎

‎The very rare first edition of Bartholin's first non-scientific publication, his important work on Nordic bracelets, which helped form the basis for the study of Scandinavian jewelry. The work also contains Worm's 16 pp. long response to Licetus' 1645 interpretation of the Golden Horn of Gallehus. Thomas Bartholin and Ole Worm were two of the leading physicians of their time, both splendid and gifted polymaths, whose knowledge and interests reached far beyond their original field. The present work represents a unique combination of their personal interests combined with their scientific knowledge, through which they present us with a valuable approach to the golden artifacts of their heritage. The first edition of the work is of great scarcity. It became highly popular and influential, and in 1676, a new edition appeared, in Amsterdam, followed by a title-issue in 1676. Thomas Bartholin (1616-1680) was one of the leading physicians of his time, now remembered, among many other things, as the discoverer of the lymphatic system. He ""was the most celebrated physician of his period in Denmark and perhaps in all of Europe"". (Kronick, p. 81). He is considered ""a typical representative of the ""Curiosi naturae"" of the 17th century with all their learning, diligence and insatiable spirit of curiosity... He belonged with all his heart to the learned period, and yet he made an anatomical-physiological discovery of high mark when he found, and demonstrated, a hitherto entirely unknown vascular system in animals, and later in man - the lymphatic."" (Meisen, p. 25). He was a hugely influential and extremely productive man. Apart from his seminal discovery of the lymphatic system, he wrote a number of highly influential treatises, published a series of very influential anatomical papers, published his vast correspondence with other scientists, which has the character of a scientific archive at a time when there were not yet periodicals of natural science, provided us with the most extensive information about medicine in Denmark and about the conditions of the physicians, called attention to the significance of pathological anatomy, etc., etc.,Ole Worm (Olaus Wormius) (1588-1655) was a famous Danish polymath, who was widely travelled and who had studied at a range of different European universities. Like many of the great intellectuals of the Early Modern era, Worm's primary occupation was as a physician, for which he gained wide renown. He later became court doctor to King Christian IV of Denmark. In 1621, Worm had become professor of physics, but already the year before, in 1620, had he begun the famous collection that would become one of the greatest cabinets of curiosites in Europe (and one of the first museums) and which would earn him the position as the first great systematic collector (within natural history) in Scandinavia. It was his then newly begun collection that enabled him, as professor of physics, to introduce demonstrative subject teaching at the university, as something completely new. He continued building and adding to his magnificent collection, now known as ""Museum Wormianum"", throughout the rest of his life. Worm's fascination for antiquarian subjects not only resulted in his famous ""Museum Wormianum"", but also in a deep fascination with early Scandinavian and runic literature and the history and meaning of runestones. These monuments found throughout Scandinavia, were carved with runic inscriptions and set in place from about the fourth to the twelfth centuries. In most cases, they are burial headstones, presumably for heroes and warriors.Worm published works on the runic calendar, translations of runic texts and explications of folklore associated with the runestone histories and he wrote the most important treatises ever published on the Golden Horn. For Danes, the Golden Horns, discovered on 1639 and 1734 respectively, with their amazing, complicated, and tragic story, constitute the Scandinavian equivalent to the Egyptian pyramids and have been the object of the same kind of fascination here in the North, causing a wealth of fantastical interpretations, both historical, literary, mystical, linguistic, and artistic.
