The Second Part is a General Instruction for the Dying of Wools and Woollen Manufactures of all Colours; for the Culture of the Drugs used in the Tinctorial Art, as also for the Dying of Hats; Published by the especial Command of the present French King in that Language… Both which are Faithfully rendred into English from their Respective Originals, 1st edition, printed by William Pearson, for J.

Elias followed his father’s interest in directing the erection of steam machinery. ESTC T80696; M. Ron, Bibliotheca Tinctoria, p. 36. 1. A very nice copy of a work of great rarity, the first comprehensive work on the subject to be published in English. ESTC locates five copies in the UK and four copies in North America. The original German book that made up part I of The Whole Art of Dying was the 1703 edition of a book originally published in 1685, Ars Tinctoria Experimentalis, oder curieuse Wollkommene Endecken der Faerbe-kunst . The second part is a translation of the 1683 German work Ars Tinctoria Fundamentalis, oder Gründliche Anweisung zur Färbenkunst , which was itself a translation of Colbert's 1669 work, Instruction genérale pour la teinture des laines et manufacture de laine de toutes couleurs et pour la culture des drogues ou ingrediens qu'on y emploie . It was this work which established ‘a standard for the French (later also for other European nations) dye industry. It gave both practical instructions and legal regulations on sizes, quality, and practices, together with a law, promulgated in 1669’.

This is an unauthorised edition, edited by Paul Dawson, and without 'All Carefully Examined and Corrected by Mr Desaguliers' on the title-page. When Desagulier became aware of the book he approached the booksellers but found that two-thirds of the imprint had already been sold. They promised to insert into all remaining copies a preface that Desagulier would write, together with a substantial errata. This copy appears to have all the errata corrected in the text. Primarily of interest as a textbook on Newtonian physics, the first issue appeared with the title A System of Experimental Philosophy .

Isaac de Caus was a pioneer in the construction of life-sized automata, several of which are illustrated here.

Geraldine Jerry Mock aviation pioneer typed signed letter on Spirit of Columbus letterhead dated 1976 with good content regarding his record breaking flights. Fixed to A4 card. Geraldine Jerrie Fredritz Mock (November 22, 1925 - September 30, 2014) was the first woman to fly solo around the world, which she did in 1964. She flew a single engine Cessna 180 (registered N1538C) christened the Spirit of Columbus and nicknamed Charlie. The trip began March 19, 1964, in Columbus, Ohio, and ended April 17, 1964, in Columbus, Ohio, and took 29 days, 21 stopovers and almost 22, 860 miles (36, 790 km). An almost forgotten part of this flight is the race that developed between Jerrie Mock and Joan Merriam Smith who had flown from a field near San Francisco CA on March 17, 1964. Joan's departure date and flight path was the same as the aviator Amelia Earhart's last flight and though not in direct competition with each other, media coverage soon began tracking the progress of each pilot fascinated with who would complete the journey first. The story of this race is told in a book written by Taylor Phillips entitled, Racing to Greet the Sun, Jerrie Mock and Joan Merriam Smith Duel to Become the First Woman to Solo Around the World. Jerrie Mock was subsequently awarded the Louis Bleriot medal from the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale in 1965. In 1970 she published the story of her round-the-world flight in the book Three-Eight Charlie. While that book is now out of print, a 50th anniversary edition was later published including maps, weather charts and photos. Three-Eight Charlie is a reference to the call sign, N1538C, of the Cessna 180 Skywagon Mock used to fly around the world. Before her death, Mock, mother of three children, resided in Quincy, Florida; northwest of the state capital, Tallahassee. Good Condition. All signed pieces come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
