With Observations and Inquiries Thereupon. Is an important work by Robert Hooke, delving into his observations through an array of lenses. This historically significant book stands as the first to feature illustrations of insects and plants as observed through microscopes. It marked the first major publication of the Royal Society and swiftly emerged as the pioneering scientific best-seller of its time, sparking widespread fascination with the burgeoning field of microscopy.One of Micrographia's enduring legacies lies in its introduction of the term "cell" to the biological lexicon, inspired by Hooke's examination of plant cells, which bore a resemblance to the compartments of a honeycomb. Through meticulous prose and vivid illustrations, Hooke unveiled the intricacies of nature on a miniature scale, offering captivating depictions of insects and plants as seen through the lens of his microscope.The book's captivating copperplate engravings, notably its fold-out plates showcasing insects, conveyed the awe-inspiring power of the microscope. These plates, extending beyond the dimensions of the large folio, magnified the minute creatures to an astonishing scale, with the engraving of a louse unfolding to four times the size of the book itself. Yet Micrographia goes further than its microscopic prowess; it ventures into diverse realms of inquiry, touching upon topics ranging from distant celestial bodies to the wave theory of light and the organic origins of fossils.Hooke's meticulous observations extended beyond the natural world, encompassing human artifacts such as the jagged edge of a razor and the seemingly blunt tip of a needle under the microscope. Through such juxtapositions, he subtly contrasted the imperfections of human craftsmanship with the innate perfection of nature, echoing prevailing notions of divine creation.Published under the patronage of The Royal Society, Micrographia not only elevated Hooke's stature as a scientist but also bolstered the society's reputation as England's foremost scientific institution. Its enchanting illustrations and illuminating narratives captivated the public imagination, earning accolades from luminaries such as Samuel Pepys, who hailed it as "the most ingenious book" of his lifetime. In its pages, Micrographia unfurls a wondrous panorama of the microscopic realm, forever altering humanity's perception of the infinitesimal world that lies beyond the naked eye.The difference between the 1665 & 1667 editions.Micrographia was first published in 1665, its rapid popularity prompted reprints. This particular edition is a 1667 printing, printed by John Martyn, the Royal Society’s appointed printer. Micrographia, an early cornerstone of the Royal Society’s publications, played a pivotal role in bolstering the Society's reputation, extending its influence beyond the scientific comunity.Although the years 1665 and 1667 might suggest distinct editions, they actually denote different issues of the same edition. A close examination reveals that both were produced from identical typesetting, with the text remaining unchanged across both printings. However, differences arise in the title page and certain particulars of the engraved plates, especially plate 5 which is in reverse in the 1667 print.In the 1665 edition, the title page features red and black printing, a technique not replicated in the 1667 issue, where all letterpress appears in black. Both versions include an image of the Royal Society’s arms, printed from an engraved copper plate. This method was somewhat unconventional, as engraved plates required a separate rolling press for printing. This necessitated a meticulous alignment process to ensure proper registration between the image and the text.Moreover, employing dual-color printing, as seen in the 1665 edition, posed additional challenges, demanding multiple printings. This technique, while capable of producing visually striking results, often struggled to maintain precise registration between the two colours. Consequently, advancements in typography, particularly the development of new "titling" typefaces, gradually rendered the need for dual-color printing obsolete by the eighteenth century.The intricate process involved in combining copperplate imagery with letterpress printing led to its gradual abandonment by the late seventeenth century. Despite its initial allure, the expense and technical limitations associated with this method ultimately contributed to its decline in favor of more efficient printing techniques.

A Mineralogy & Petrology Microscope Michel Levy Comparator, By Nachet French, c.1888, engraved to the prism holder 'Nachet A Paris' the microscope eyepiece with screw micrometer stagesample stage and mirror in the original leather covered case marked 'COMPATATEUR MICHEL-LEVY' Note: The comparator was used in conjunction with The Michel-Lévy interference color chart to identify mineral composition. The Michel-Lévy interference color chart made its debut in 1888 within the pages of a Paris-published book titled Les Minéraux des Roches. Authored by Auguste Michel-Lévy (1844–1911), Part I of the book delves into the methodologies employed by mineralogists and chemists in the microscopic examination of minerals and the use of the Michel Levy Comparator. In Part 2, Michel-Lévy, in collaboration with Alf. Lacroix, presents a tabulated account of the physical and optical characteristics of rock-forming minerals. Acknowledging the contributions of predecessors such as F.A. Fouqué, his mentor and friend ("mon maître et ami"), with whom he had worked on the production of Minéralogie Micrographique; Roches éruptives Françaises (1879), featuring an exquisite atlas of 55 chromo-lithographed plates. Michel-Lévy also pays tribute to others such as Des Cloizeaux's Manuel de Mineralogie (1862), Mallard's Traité de Cristallographie (1884), DeLapparent's Cours de Minéralogie (1884), and Rosenbusch's second edition of Mikroskopische Physiographie (1885). Additionally, he acknowledges the contributions of Klement and Renard's Reactions Microchimiques (1886) and their predecessors in the realm of microchemistry. However, it is within the pages of this 1888 publication that we witness, for the first time, Michel-Lévy's "Tableau Des Biréfringences" presented in color.
