Ognuna delle tre parti è introdotta da una bella tavola a piena pagina incisa su legno, ritraente interni di officine e maneggi con relativi personaggi. Numerose illustrazioni silografiche a piena pagina raffiguranti differenti tipi di briglie ed esercizi di equitazione, alcuni corredati di relativa musica. Bell'esemplare, lieve gora al margine superiore del frontespizio, sporadiche tracce di polvere. Legatura moderna in pelle bruna, piatti decorati a secco; dorso a tre nervi con titolo impresso in oro. Ex libris del barone di Wenlock conservato nel volume. Prima e assai rara edizione di una delle più belle opere sull'arte del maneggio, redatta dal gentiluomo ferrarese Cesare Fiaschi. Di grande interesse la presenza di notazioni musicali nei bei legni a piena pagina relativi agli esercizi di equitazioni: Fiaschi fu infatti il primo scudiero ad abbinare la musica all'equitazione. Three parts in one volume, 4° (210x158 mm). Collation: A-Y4, [2. [8], 171, [1] pages. Woodcut printer's device on the title-page. Woodcut initials on black ground.

Courtanvaux (Francois-Michel-Cesar Le Tellier, Marquis de). Journal du voyage de M. le Marquis de Courtanvaux, sur la Fregate l'Aurore, pour essayer par ordre de l'Academie, plusieurs instrumens relatifs a la longitude. Mis en ordre par M. Pingre, Chanoine regulier de Ste-Genevieve, nomme par l'Academie pour cooperer a la verification desdits instrumens, de concert avec M. Messier, Astronome de la Marine, 1st edition, Paris, Imprimerie Royale, 1768, [2] + viii + 316 + [4] pages, with 5 engraved plates (including 4 folding) and folding engraved map, recent antique-style blind-decorated full calf with contrasting central lozenge to each cover, gilt spine with blind tooled decoration between raised bands, contrasting morocco title label, 4to National Maritime Museum Catalogue I, 1149a. Norman 1335.The present work, largely composed by Alexandre-Gui Pingre (1711-1796) and Charles Messier (1730-1817) is the report of a voyage in the frigate l'Aurore, fitted out by Courtanvaux at his own expense, to assess the various competitors for the prize offered by the French Academie des Sciences for the first successful method of accurately measuring longitude. The main contender was the Horloger du Roi, Pierre Le Roy (1717-1785). He had invented a completely original marine chronometer in the 1750s, which he perfected over the next decade and presented to Louis XV in 1766. In 1767 Le Roy entered his machine, which "embodied all the principles upon which later marine chronometers were constructed", in the competition. The voyage between Le Havre and Amsterdam was the first practical trial to which it was subjected. Le Roy was awarded a double prize in 1768 for his chronometer and for his memoir describing it. The first four chapters give a detailed account of the different methods employed from the 15th to the 18th centuries to determine longitude. The rest of the work describes the voyages and the experiments carried out, and finishes with a description of Le Roy's marine clocks. (1)

BLIND LITERATURE - GALL, JAMESTHE GOSPEL OF SAINT JOHN IN THE ANGULAR CHARACTER FOR THE BLIND Edinburgh: James Gall, 1832 [1834?]. 4to, original boards with paper label to spine, upper board and spine detached, some dust-soiling and slight dampstaining towards the rearNote: An unusual book, Copac lists 4 copies held in British libraries, with a copy also in the collection of the RNIB. Although the date on the title-page reads 1832, this usually seems to be catalogued as 1834. In 1827, James Gall published his first work in his 'angular character', subsequently known as 'Gall Type': First Book on the Art of Teaching the Blind to Read. The text is unlike the Braille script we know today, which was not endorsed by British teachers until 1870. Gall's script is a more geometric, angular version of the Latin alphabet, almost runic at first glance. Within Gall's work featured an advertisement for his Gospel of Saint John. This was to be three volumes of royal octavo at a price of one guinea for subscribers. The resulting work was one volume, 30 x 24cm, and still priced at one guinea.
