PINE, John (1690-1756). The Procession and Ceremonies observed at the Time of the Installation of the Knights Companions of the Most Honourable Military Order of the Bath. London: Printed S. Palmer and J. Huggonson for John Pine, 1730. 2° (505 x 377mm). Titles in French and English printed in red and black, each with an engraved vignette, parallel text in French and English, list of subscribers. 20 engraved plates, all but one double-page, 10 engraved head- and tail-pieces by Pine after J. Highmore. (Text leaved mounted on guards.) Contemporary speckled calf (rebacked preserving original spine, spine worn). Provenance: Foley (armorial bookplate with motto "ut prosim").

The text of this work, written by John Anstis, describes the procession to the chapel by the knights, the ceremony at the chapel, and the banquet served after the ceremonies.

AERONAUTICS -- [POCOCK, George]. The Aeropleustic Art or Navigation in the Air by the Use of Kites or Buoyant Sails. [London: W. Wilson ?for the author, 1827]. 4° (315 x 245mm). Engraved title by A. Adlard with hand-coloured aquatint vignette by P. Roberts, 3 hand-coloured aquatint plates, 2 signed by Roberts, one after T. Butterworth, the other after S. Colman. (Two plates detached, text leaves loose, spotted and occasionally dust-soiled, tear to margin of F2.) Original paper-backed boards with printed cover label (spine worn). Provenance: J. Whittuck 1828 (inscription on label). FIRST EDITION. The eccentric Bristol schoolmaster, George Pocock, dedicated this work to his ex-kite-flying pupils. Recognising the force of wind power, it provides a history of the kite as a scientific invention, and examines its potential adaptations as a kind of ascending parachute for mariners before describing the famous Charvolant, a kite-powered carriage capable of speeds of twenty miles per hour. The vignette shows a rescue at sea by means of a kite, while the three plates illustrate a kite-powered 'Boat Race', the 'Patent Kite and Charvolant' and 'Charvolants travelling in various directions in the same wind'. The work drew serious attention as well as satire, and a second edition appeared in 1851. See front cover illustration. View on Christie's.com

HARRIS, Moses (1730-c.1788). The Aurelian: or, Natural History of English Insects; namely, Moths and Butterflies. London: J. Robson, 1778. 2° (457 x 276mm). English and French titles, and text in English and French in double-coloumn. English title with engraved vignette, frontispiece, hand-coloured engraved diagrammatic key-plate and 44 plates numbered I-XLIV, by and after Harris, PLATE I INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR: 'Colour'd by me Mr. Harris Sept. 1778', indicating that the plates were coloured by the author throughout. (Occasional very light spotting and offsetting, a few short marginal tears.) 19th-century half morocco, t.e.g. (extremities rubbed). Second edition, second issue. A fresh, tall copy of the Aurelian by Harris, 'ONE OF THE MOST OUTSTANDING AUTHORS OF ENTOMOLOGICAL LITERATURE DURING THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY' (Lisney). Harris drew from live specimens and his plates are amongst the most beautiful of their kind, showing dorsal and ventral views of all the subjects, together with various stages of development (egg, caterpillar, chrysalis), each with their preferred food. First published in 1766, the Aurelian went through many editions. This has led to a complex bibliography, and, as Lisney notes, it 'frequently occur[s] as made-up copies'. In this copy, Plate I is without the dedication, plate II is not mounted and appears on matching length paper, and the text and plates are on undated Whatman laid paper.

MANGET, Jean Jacques, editor (1652-1742). Bibliotheca chemica curiosa, seu rerum ad alchemiam pertinentium thesaurus instructissimus. Geneva ['Genevae']: Chouet, G. De Tournes, Cramer, Perachon, Ritter, & S. De Tournes, 1702. 2 vols., 2° (346 x 210mm). Engraved portrait frontispiece, 30 engraved plates and one text illustration, woodcut diagrams.

FOR THE HISTORIAN OF CHEMISTRY THIS IS A MOST IMPORTANT AND INDISPENSABLE WORK' (Duveen). Manget was appointed physician to the Elector of Brandenburg in 1699, a position he retained when the Elector became King of Prussia. His work collects and reprints 'treatises on medicine and surgery, [which] are valuable as works of reference to books which either are now difficult to obtain or which have disappeared' (Ferguson p.71). There appear to be two issues of the work, distinguished by the use of either 'Genevae' (as here) or 'Coloniae Allobrogum' in the imprint. Both Bolton and Ferguson give a full listing of the treatises. Blake p. 285 (2 copies, 'Coloniae Allobrogum' and 'Genevae'); Bolton pp. 1004-1013 ('Genevae'); Brunet III, 1365 ('Genevae'); Caillet III, p. 28 ('Genevae', commenting 'ouvrage de la plus grande rareté'); Duveen p. 387; Ferguson II, pp. 68-71 (vol.
