by Augustus De Morgan

Notes:
Brand new. We distribute directly for the publisher. Oversized Octavo. Pp. [iii].xxviii.124. 124. London, Taylor and Walton, 1847. New Copy. ISBN 157898467X. According to the DSB this work is "probably the first significant work of scientific bibliography". The bibliographer A.N.L. Munby commented that " it is one of the earliest, and still one of the best, of the class of work now called a catalogue raisonnee. The notes, based on total familiarity with the subject-matter of each work, are testimony to the extraordinary range of its author's learning. "-Munby. The arrangement of the book is chronological, and begins in 1491 with Philip Calandri's Philippi Calandri ad Nobilem et Studiosum Julianum Larentii Medicem de Arimethrica Opusculum. De Morgan goes on to provide 200 word annotation about this title. Most of the works cited have some annotation, and many are of paragraph length. The format is as follows --The place at which the work was printed. --The date of the title page, or colophon. --The author's name --Title --The form in which the book is printed. --Annotations. At the end is an index of Authors, editors and of works on arithmetic. Besterman 509.

Bibliotheca Chemica

by John Ferguson
Condition: New		$94.99
Binding: Hardcover	In Stock: 100

Notes:
Brand new. We distribute directly for the publisher. Reprint of the original edition. Cloth. Quarto. pp.viii.499. Edinburgh: Published by Authority for Her Majesty's Government, 1890. This almost impossible to find catalog describes about 10,000 books on astronomy. Included are books from the earliest period up until the date of publication. The catalog contains substantial collations with plates-counts for many citations. There are also 18 cross-referenced subject headings. The library of Charles Babbage forms the core of this magnificent collection, which is especially strong in all areas related to comets. This extremely rare catalog has never been reprinted. Almost all extant copies of the original are very brittle due to the paper used for printing. The catalog is an alphabetical one, arranged chiefly according to the authors' names. Immediately following the author is title, number of volumes, number of plates, maps, etc., size, and finally the dimensions.
