‎Le jeune homme parcourra pendant pres de dix ans d'innombrables contrees inexplorees d'Amerique Latine, affinant progressivement ses connaissances et sa passion pour les orchidees. Rentre en Belgique, Linden exploite son savoir-faire au profit d'un commerce de plantes exotiques rendu florissant par les apports reguliers des collecteurs diriges a travers le monde. L'horticulteur devient vite une figure incontournable dans les milieux scientifique, economique et politique. De meme, ses multiples publications demeurent encore aujourd'hui des jalons dans la litterature orchidophile. S'appuyant sur de nombreux documents d'archives et sur les recits de voyage de l'explorateur, l'ouvrage s'agremente entre autres de nombreuses somptueuses planches illustrees issues des revues et recueils specialises de l'epoque.ISBN 90 6153 630 8 (Francais) ‎

‎First appearance of this milestone paper in the histroy of photography in which Niepce de Saint-Victor describes his invention of photography on glass or ""glass negatives"".""Early in 1847 Niepce de Saint-Victor experienced with the use of starch paste on his glass plates as a binding substratum for the iodide coating, but he soon found that albumen was preferable"" he also tried gelatine, but laid it aside because it came off in the aceto-silver nitrate bath. By a mixture of honey, syrup, or whey with the albumen, he oncreased, later the sensivity. He published his process on October 25, 1847, in the Comp. rend. (the paper offered), and soon had many followers. He also made many modifications (Annexe to the memoir)."" (Eder ""History of Photography"", Dover Publ., pp. 338 ff.).‎

‎De beschaving van de Hunnen, een oude volksstam uit Centraal-Azie, ontwikkelt zich vanaf het midden van het 2de millennium, in het Bronstijdperk. Dankzij de tanende macht van de Scythen ontwikkelen de Hunnen tussen 209 v.C. en 93 n.C. hun eerste imperium, in de noordelijke gebieden van Mongolie, in het huidige Boeriatie. Vervolgens trekken vele Hunnen naar Centraal-Europa, waar ze zich vermengen met de Franco-Germaanse bevolking. De tentoonstelling heeft vooral oog voor de prehistorie en de geschiedenis van het eerste hunnenrijk in de regio van het Bajkalmeer en de vallei van de Selenga, waar opgravingen belangrijke overblijfselen hebben blootgelegd. Wapens, gespen, paardenbitten, juwelen en dagelijkse gebruiksvoorwerpen, getuigen van de leefgewoonten en de maatschappelijke ordening van deze bijzondere beschaving.

‎First apperance of the papers in which Nilson describes his discovery of a new element and its properties, and naming it Scandium. It was the second new element found after Mendeleev's prediction of its existence as ""Eka-Boron"".""Mendeléeff had predicted that another element, which he called eka-boron and which he said would have an atomic weight between 40 (calcium) and 48 (titanium), would some day be revealed. It was discovered in 1879 by Lars Fredrik Nilson.... Nilson extracted 63 grams of the rare earth erbia from gadolinite and euxenite, and converted it into the nitrate. Upon decomposing this salt by heat, as Marignac had done, he obtained some very pure ytterbia and, to his great surprise, an earth that was unknown to him.Upon thoroughly investigating this new earth, he found that it contained an element whose properties concided almost exactly with those Mendeléef had predicted for ekaboron. Nilson called it scandium in honour of his fatherland.""(Weeks ""Discovery of the Elements"" pp. 219-20).Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"" 1879 C.‎

‎In this work Nollet, the discoverer of the theory of double flux, describes, among other experiments, the famous experiments with the Leyden jar. ""The author lay down a theory, according to which the cause of electrical phenomena is the effluence and affluence of a subtile fluid which is everywhere present. Some interesting experiments are described with vacuum tubes also on the influence of electric charges on the growth of plants."" (Wheeler, 355, but not listing this edition). - Poggendorff II:296.""Nollet's system (effluence and affluence) was much superior to earlier theories of double flux. such as Moliere's or Hauksbee's. A cheif difficulty with them (as with the theory of pulsating atmospheres) had been to explain why attraction occurs first.follwed by contact and then repulsion. Nollet answered that the effluent and affluent flows differ not only in direction, but in velocity and spatial distribution as well.The effluent stream consists of many jets, each of which spreads out into a cone with apex at one of the scattered exit pores. The affluent current, being a hodgepodge of differently directed effluent streams, is approximately isotropic.""(Heilbron, p. 284)‎

‎London, Tate Publishing, 2003 Pictorial softcover, 230 x 295mm., 296pp., profound colour illustration. ISBN 1854374591.‎

‎After years of cultural standoff, the period of high Romanticism (1820-1840) was one of the fervent artistic exchange between France and Britain. In the aftermath of Waterloo, British artists contributed regularly to Paris Salons and shared studios with French artists. Artists from both countries criss-crossed the channel. Shared themes are explored, illustrated by many of the acknowledged masterpieces of Romantic painting, including works by Constable and Delacroix among many others. New book.‎

‎Scarce first edition, only published in 200 copies by The Danish Royal Society. This splendid work communicated the results of the remarkable Egypt-expedition undertaken in 1737-38. It is the most extensive description of Egypt's monuments, ruins, temples etc. since the times of Herodotus, as there had been only few travellers or written descriptions since classical times. An anecdote tells that Napoleon, before his expedition to Egypt, pointed to these two folio-volumes in order to encourage his staff of scientists and artists. The plates are excellent in their detail and execution, engraved by the skillful artist and engraver Marcus Tuscher in collaboration with the author, who died before the work went to press. They depict landscapes, monuments, ruins etc., as well as maps. The fine portrait of Norden is engraved by J.M. Preisler.‎
