Les Preuves astronomiques de la Relativité. 

Paris, Gauthier-Villars, 1922.
More Details >
250 €

First edition.
Offprint from an article published in the Bulletin astronomique
. From the beginning of his article the author warns us: "Astronomers are preparing to renew and multiply the observations whose doubtful and hitherto uncontested results have nevertheless served as a fundamental basis for this sort of scientific religion which has become relativity". Esclangon re-examines the evidence then known (calculation of Mercury's perihelions, deviation of the Sun's rays, variations of lines), and exposes certain paradoxes (superluminal speed of a projected shadow).

Plantes usuelles, indigènes et exotiques, dessinées et coloriées d'après nature, avec la description de leurs caractères distinctifs et de leurs propriétés médicales.

Sold

First edition.
Joseph Roques (1772-1850) is a botanist who remains famous for his beautiful illustrated editions of flora which will remain references in the 19th century.

Our copy is complete with 133 finely watercolor plates gathering hundred's of botanical subjects (we also have the errata leaves on volume II which is often missing).
The author tells us in his preliminary speech that the execution of the engravings "was entrusted to Artists of distinguished merit". The result is a delicacy of the illustrations which clearly stood out from the lot of botany textbooks of the time.

A magnificent work, but also scientifically rigorous.
Finding that most of the medical floras of the time flirted with charlatanism, Roques has here selected only plants whose medicinal properties have been proven during his practice of medicine in Montpellier and gives their precise use.
To reach both the general public and scientists, he gives for each of the plants the popular name, the scientific name as well as their positions in the classification systems of Linnaeus, Tournefort and Jussieu. It is thus one of the last floras using this triple classification, an unified system being imposed in the modern era.

A Floating City refers to the immense ship "Great Eastern" crossing the Atlantic between Liverpool and New York. In this novel, Jules Verne draws inspiration from his own experience, having himself made this crossing on the real British "SS Great Eastern", then the largest and largest transatlantic liner of the time. This ship, where thousands of people and the crew live together, forms a micro society and therefore a real “floating city”. An adventure novel follows. Three Russian scientists (Mathieu Strux, Nicolas Palander, Michel Zorn) and three English scientists (Colonel Everest, Sir John Murray, William Emery), are responsible for working together, and have the mission of measuring a meridian arc. Against this scientific background, a friendship and an infriendship are created. The whole thing was complicated by the start of the Crimean War (1853-1856), which pitted Russia against an Ottoman, French, English and Sardinian coalition.

The story takes place in the near future, where the world is dominated by science and technology. A group of scientists and gunsmiths, led by Michel Ardan, decide to move the Earth on its axis by firing a cannon so gigantic that the tilt of the globe will vary enough to expose the Arctic ice floes to the sun. The idea is to be able to exploit the coal mines which are supposed to be present in the subsoil of the North Pole. The project is ambitious and risky, but Ardan is convinced that it is feasible.
