Provenance: old signature on front free endpaper scribbled out; G. L. J. Engle (modern label); from the Library of the late Sir George Engle. This endlessly fascinating work, sometimes knownas ‘Vulgar Errors’, sought to confute widely-held beliefs and superstitions,despite the fact that the author was himself a believer in sorcery andwitchcraft. "[It] now seems more quaint thanscientific, but it was practical in an age bound by traditional fallacies. Itspurpose was to induce inquiries into popular delusions; for example, Brownedenies that elephants lack knees, that crystal is hard ice, and that rubbingwith garlic inhibits a magnet's power to attract" (DSB). The work is also notablefor being the first in English to use the term ‘electricity’; see Chapter IV in Book 2 titled "Of bodies Electricall." Garrison-Morton10032; Grolier 107; Heirs of Hippocrates 487 (citing 1st ed. of1649); Keynes 74; Wing B5160; Wellcome II, p.253.

Provenance: "G. A." (initials in a hand-painted armorial device [see below] with motto "MANCANDO VIVE"); some very sparse ink annotation; later pencil collation on rear pastedown. Regarding the hand-painted armorial device, we are grateful to Murray Chesney-Stroak for the following note: "The device is certainly not a coat-of-arms of any type typical of the late fifteenth century in Italy or Central Europe. This is more likely a badge used perhaps by the publisher and coloured to suit the other decoration. The badge would thus be described (blazoned if it were a coat-of-arms) as: Azure, a staff (or thyrsus?) Or, with letters G and A in chief of the second, a scroll in fess Argent, the whole being surmounted by a laurel wreath proper and assigned with a crest coronet Or. My gut feeling is that the staff/thyrsus, or perhaps a torch (flambeau), is representative of learning, the letters probably being the artist's initials and the laurel wreath an attribute of renown or fame." BMC V, 372; not in Brunet; HC *8560; Goff H-172; GW 12432; Proctor 4873; Walsh 2090.

FIRST EDITION of the earliest published paper doll set. Each figure and costume corresponds to a section of the story in the accompanying booklet whose tale charts Little Fanny’s progress, in a familiar didactic trajectory, from youthful innocence, through haughtiness, to destitution as ‘a dirty beggar girl’, to a return to propriety and a happy absolution in her mother’s arms once again. The text is sometimes attributed to Amelia Troward Girdlestone (1791-1854). Osborne II, p. 1052 (their copy lacking 2 hats); not in Percy Muir's English Children's Books 1600-1900 (New York, 1954).

Engle, 1952 (label); from the Library of the late Sir George Engle. Compiled in the late 15th-century by Dominicaninquisitors, the Malleus maleficarum (literally, the ‘hammer ofwitches’) is perhaps the best known of the earliest treatises on witchcraft.The attribution of Sprenger as a co-author has been disputed. The first printededition appeared in Strasbourg in 1486. “There can be no doubt that this workhad in its day and for a full couple of centuries an enormous influence. Thereare few demonologists and writers upon witchcraft who do not refer to its pagesas an ultimate authority. It was continually quoted and appealed to inwitch-trials” (Montague Summers). “It is universally considered as the greatestsumma of printed demonological literature …” (Mora, George (editor), Witches,Devils, and Doctors in the Renaissance, 1991, pp. 724-5).

Mantua: Paulus de Butzbach, [not after 1474]. Folio (276 x 204mm). 53 lines, printed in double column, type 1:75G, 3- to 11-line initial spaces, some contemporary manuscript chapter numbers at upper margins, 386 leaves (of 396, without the 2 blanks and the final quire [see note], a single wormhole in quires 7-8, marginal wormhole in last 4 leaves, some very light mainly marginal staining). Full modern pigskin by Katherine Adams [for C. H. St John Hornby], with her monogram stamp dated 1905, spine lettered in gilt and with 5 raised bands, gilt and gauffered edges, preserving 4 original vellum flyleaves. Provenance: Johannes Groot, Canon of St Denis, Liège (contemporary inscription on first vellum flyleaf, neatly crossed out [i.e. preserving legibility]); given as a gift to Magister Bartholomaeus de Meerlair; Bois-le-Duc, Carthusians (inscription on front flyleaf); old illegible inscription at head of rear vellum flyleaf; Charles Harry St John Hornby (bookplate and Shelley House label). One of the earliest and rarest editions from the second Mantuan Press. This copy is lacking the final quire consisting of the table by the editor. Since this is often the case, it has been speculated that the quire was printed after some copies had been distributed without it. BMC VII, 930; not in Brunet; Goff T-213; HC 1458; Harvard/Walsh 3335A; IGI 9590; cf. PMM 30 (citing Basle edition of 1485): "The Summa is divided into three parts, the first of which treats of the nature, attributes and relations of God, including the physical universe; the subject of the second being man and the chief end of man, in which a definitive code of ethics is laid down; the third part, which was completed according to Aquinas's plan after his death, dealt with Christ, God and man. Even in this attenuated summary, the systematizing influence of Aristotle can be seen operating on 'all the learning of the Fathers', and it is this system which led Leo XIII in his Encyclical of 1879 to declare it the indisputable basis of Catholic theology; equally, it underlies much subsequent theological, political and social enquiry into the nature and position of man in the state or in the universe."

In 1821, however, RobertWillis, a Cambridge professor and mechanical engineer, definitively exposed itin the present work as a hoax and revealed what some had already suspected:that the mechanism cunningly concealed a hidden human operator.

Institut der Universitaet Graz” (stamps on half title and title); a further unidentified stamp on title; from the Collection of Peter and Margarethe Braune. FIRST EDITION of a work into which the author "... compiled his research on the phenomena of gases into his only book ... This work brought gas analysis to a level of accuracy and simplicity reached earlier by gravimetric and titrimetric techniques. Dividing the book into six parts, Bunsen presented methods of collecting, preserving, and measuring gases; techniques of eudiometric analysis; new process for determining the specific gravities of gases; results of investigations on the absorption of gases in water and alcohol using an 'absorptiometer' he himself devised; and results of experiments on gaseous diffusion and combustion" (DSB).

CARNOT, Lazare Nicolas Marguerite (1753-1823). De la Correlation des Figures de Geometrie.CARNOT, Lazare Nicolas Marguerite (1753-1823).  De la Corrélation des Figures de Géométrie. Paris: Chez Duprat, 1801. 8vo (235 x 152mm). Half title, 4 folding engraved plates, 4-pages of publisher’s advertisements at the end (some light mainly marginal spotting, staining and browning, a few darker spots). Modern leatherette-backed marbled boards, spine lettered in gilt, uncut, new endpapers. Provenance: from the Collection of Peter and Margarethe Braune. FIRST EDITION. “Carnot's main geometric writings were motivated largely by the attempt to make reasonable the employment of unreasonable quantity in analysis, although with the focus on negative rather than infinitesimal quantity ... De la Corrélation des Figures de Géométrie of 1801 and its extension, the Géométrie de Position of 1803, constituted his most significant clarification of the procedures of mathematics. Carnot found absurd the notion that a quantity itself could be less than zero … He insisted in Corrélation des Figures on distinguishing between a quantity properly speaking and the algebraic value of a function. It was equally unacceptable to interpret the minus sign as meaning simply that a quantity was to be taken in a direction opposite to a positive one … By correlative systems Carnot meant all those that could be considered as different states of a single variable system undergoing gradual transformation. It was not necessary that all correlative systems should actually have been evolved out of the primitive system. It sufficed that they might be assimilated to it by changes involving no discontinuous mutations. The whole topic may be taken as the geometric operation of Carnot's favourite reasoning device - a comparison of systems between which the nexus of change is a continuum ..." (DSB).

DARWIN, Charles (1809-82). De l' Origine des Especes.DARWIN, Charles (1809-82).  De l’ Origine des Espèces ou des Lois du Progrès chez lestres Organisés … Traduit en français sur la Troisième Édition avec l’ autorisation de l’ Auteur par Mlle. Clémence-Auguste Royer avec une Préface et des Notes du Traducteur. Paris: Guillaumin et Cie … Victor Masson et Fils, 1862. 8vo (188 x 120mm). Half title, folding lithographed plate (first gathering detached, variable nut mainly light and marginal spotting and staining, plate lightly browned at margins). Original pale green printed wrappers, uncut (very lightly spotted, some very minor fraying, upper wrapper and backstrip creased), modern protective book box. Provenance: from the Collection of Peter and Margarethe Braune. FIRST EDITION IN FRENCH. Dibner Heralds 199: “The most important single work in science”; Freeman 655 (French edition, not mentioning the plate): “Certainly the most important biological book ever written”; Garrison-Morton 220; Heirs of Hippocrates 1724; Norman 593; PMM 344(b); Waller 10786. (Most references citing the first (English) edition of 1859.) “The outstanding difficulty was to discover the means by which the infinite variety of living organisms could have been produced within the limits of geological time. In accomplishing this Darwin not only drew an entirely new picture of the workings of organic nature; he revolutionized our methods of thinking and our outlook on the natural order of things” (PMM). The translation of this first French edition was made by Clémence-Auguste Royer (1830-1902), who also wrote the 59-page preface and provided numerous footnotes. Her input was controversial, and not just because of her gender, which, in the view of some contemporary male critics, alone disqualified her from being able to fully digest Darwin’s complex ideas. Darwin, who appears not to have heard of Royer before her translation appeared, was more ambivalent on the matter. In a letter to the American botanist, Asa Gray, he wrote: “I received 2 or 3 days ago a French translation of the Origin by a Madelle. Royer, who must be one of the cleverest and oddest women in Europe: is an ardent deist and hates Christianity, and declares that natural selection and the struggle for life will explain all morality, the nature of man, politicks, etc. etc.!! She makes very curious and good hits, and says she shall publish a book on these subjects, and a strange production it will be.” The ‘strange production’ turned out to be Royer’s L’ Origine de l’ Homme et des Sociétés published in 1870 which anticipated some of the ideas Darwin expressed in his own The Descent of Man published a year later.

DE CANDOLLE, Augustin Pyramus (1778-1841). Theorie Elementaire de la Botanique, ou Exposition des Principes de la Classification Naturelle. [etc]DE CANDOLLE, Augustin Pyramus (1778-1841).  Théorie Élémentaire de la Botanique, ou Exposition des Principes de la Classicification Naturelle et de l’ Art de Décrire et d’ Etudier les Végétaux. Paris: Chez Déterville, 1813. 8vo (200 x 122mm). Half title, table (half title and title repaired at fore-margins without loss of letters, some light spotting and browning, but generally very clean internally). Contemporary cloth-backed marbled boards, spine gilt. FIRST EDITION of the author’s most important work which introduced a new system of plant classification, now known as the “De Candolle System”, and first introduced the word “taxonomie”, the title of the first chapter. The author’s concept of nature being at war with itself, which went on to influence Darwin’s key notion of “the struggle for existence”, is evident in the following remarkable passage taken from Candolle’s Essai Élémentaire de Geographie Botanique (1820, not included in the lot): “Toutes les plantes d’un pays, toutes celles d’un lieu donné, sont dans un état de guerre les unes relativement aux autres. Toutes sont douées de moyens de réproductions et de nutrition plus ou moins efficacies. Les premières qui s’établissent par hasard dans une localité donnée, tendent, par cela même qu’elles occupant l’espace, à en exclure les autres espèces: les plus grandes étouffent les plus petites; les plus vivaces remplacent celles don’t la durée est plus courte; les plus fécondes s’emparent graduellement de l’espace que pourraient occuper celles qui se multiplient plus difficiliement” (p.26). Stafleu and Cowan (citing English ed. of 1821): 992. With the same author’s Organographie Végétale, ou Description Raisonée des Organes des Plantes (Paris, 1827, 2 vols., 60 engraved plates, some fairly heavy spotting, contemporary roan-backed boards, FIRST EDITION).

Main (library stamps to endpapers and title); from the Collection of Peter and Margarethe Braune. FIRST EDITION. Garrison-Morton 2559; Heirs of Hippocrates 2158: "The present volume contains most of the work on immunity published by Ehrlich and his co-workers between 1899 and 1904. Five of the thirty-eight reports were written by Ehrlich and many of the remainder were written in collaboration with Julius Morgenroth (1871-1924) and Hans Sachs (1877-1945), two of his key assistants. Included are important contributions on the theory of lysin action, studies on hemolysins and researches into the mechanism of hemolytic reactions, as well as immunological studies of toxins and antitoxins. Ehrlich shared the Nobel prize for physiology and medicine with Elie Mechnikov ... in 1908 for their work on immunity."
