‎By William Robertson, principal of the University of Edinburgh, historiographer to his Majesty for Scotland, and member of the Royal Academy of History at Madrid. In three volumes. The Seventh Edition. London, Printed for A. Strahan and T. Cadell, and E. Balfour, Edinburgh : and sold by T. Cadell Jun. W. Davies, Successors to Mr. Cadell, 1796 3 volumes in-8 (22,5 x 14 cm) de XLIV-343, (1)-475 et (1)-422-(34) pages. 4 grandes cartes dépliantes et 1 planche dépliante de glyphes de l'ancien Mexique. Reliure de l'époque (vers 1800) veau raciné, dos lisses richement ornés, pièces de titre de maroquin rouge, tomaison ovale de maroquin noir, tranches citron, roulette dorée sur les coupes. Reliure de très belle facture, probablement anglaise. Infimes frottements, un coin légèrement usé, sinon très fraîches reliures, intérieur également très frais imprimé sur beau papier, sans rousseurs notables. A noter une petite brûlure sur le bord des plats du deuxième tome (coulure acide), tranche et marge des derniers feuillets tachées sans gravité. Texte en anglais. Nouvelle édition anglaise. Robertson (1721-1793) contributed to the history of Spain and Spanish America in his History of America (1777), "the first sustained attempt to describe the discovery, conquest and settlement of Spanish America since Herrera's Décadas". Cette histoire de l’Amérique depuis l'arrivée de Christophe Colomb jusqu'à la fin de la conquête espagnole est basée sur l'étude de documents historiques solides. On y trouve le récit des conquêtes par Christopher Columbus, Hernando Cortez, Vasco Nunez de Balboa, Vasco de Gama, Ferdinand Magellan, Amerigo Vespucci. Les nombreuses notes historiques en fin de chaque volume sont très intéressantes. Les cartes géographiques sont très belles et parfaitement conservées. Provenance : Ex libris gravé monogramme non identifié. Très bel exemplaire conservé dans ses premières reliures en veau raciné. ‎

‎First appearance of the paper in which Wollaston announced his discovery of the metallic element Rhodium.""Dr. Wollaston dissolved a portion of crude platinum in qgua regia, and neutralized the excess acid with caustic soda. He then added salammoniac to precipitate the platinum as ammonium chloroplatinate, and mercurous cyanide to precipitate the palladium as palladium cyanide. After filteringoff the precipitate, he decomposed the excess mercurous cyanide inthe filtarate by adding hydrochloric acid and evaporating to dryness. When he washed the residue with alcohol, everything dissolved except a beautiful dark red powder, which proved to be a double chloride of sodium and a new metal, which because of the rose color of its salts, Dr. Wollaston named 'Rhodium'. He found that the sodium rhodium chloride could be easely reduced by heating it in a current of hydrogen, and that after the sodium chloride had been washed out, the rhodium remained as a metallic powder. he also succeeded in obtaining a rhodium button.""(Weeks: Discovery of the Elements. p. 104-05.)‎

‎Jan Rombouts. The Discovery of an Early Sixteenth-Century Master in Louvain. ‎

‎, brepols, 2011 Hardback with dusjacket, 312 p., 237 b/w ill. 48 colour ill., 210 x 297 mm, Languages: English. new, fine condition !. ISBN 9782503525693.‎

‎This monograph introduces the sixteenth-century Louvain artist Jan Rombouts (c. 1480 ? 1535), whose oeuvre was previously assigned to Jan van Rillaer. Debates concerning Rombouts?s identity are explored in detail by means of reinterpretation of published archival documents and the discovery of numerous new documents. The publication of the sources, most with full transcriptions, provides a sound basis for the author?s arguments supporting the new identification.The remaining oeuvre of the artist, as it is known today, comprises engravings and paintings. This monograph argues for the expansion of Rombouts?s oeuvre with some dozen stained-glass windows, roundels and a drawn design for a church window, while suggestions are put forth for other possible attributions. Attention is given to the historical context for Rombouts?s activity as a glass painter, and the attributions of these works, none of which are monogrammed, are made by comparing their style with that of works securely attributed to the artist. This section is backed up by numerous illustrations of the windows, many of which are quite inaccessible. Finally, a discussion of archival sources concerning the Louvain confraternity of St Luke and commissions for works of art to local artists in the period covered by the book, form the rich historical background against which Jan Rombouts executed his oeuvre of engravings, paintings, roundels and stained-glass windows. The size, individuality, diversity and craftsmanship of this oeuvre enable us to finally identify and place him securely within the history of south Netherlandish art of his time. ‎
