[First Edition] Voyage fait par Ordre du Roi en 1750 et 1751 dans l Amérique Septentrionale, pour rectifier les cartes des côtes de l'Acadie, de 2785.18 CAD viii+[folding map]+288+[1 folding table]+[1 folding chart]+[x] pages with 6 folding engraved maps and index. Quarto (10 1/4" x 8") bound in contemporary quarter leather with green leather label to spine in gilt over calf-backed boards. (Sabin 11723; Howegego C87) First edition. Joseph-Bernard de Chabert de Cogolin followed family tradition when he entered the navy as a midshipman in July 1741. After several voyages in the Mediterranean, where he displayed an interest in science and a talent for drawing charts that brought him to the attention of the minister of Marine, he was appointed sub-section leader of midshipmen and posted to Brest. In 1746 he made two voyages to reconnoiter the coasts of Acadia and correct the defectiveness of French charts. While in the frigate Castor he drew a chart of the roads and harbor of the Baie de Chibouctou (Halifax harbor), and later the same year he was sent in the Sirène to reconnoiter the harbor at Annapolis Royal and spy out the British ships anchored there. The next spring he joined Jacques-Pierre de Taffanel de La Jonquière's squadron in the Gloire and was taken prisoner by the British during the battle off Cape Ortegal, Spain. After repatriation Chabert was promoted ensign in April 1748 and retained in Paris by the minister, who wanted him to learn astronomy in order to instruct naval officers. Two years later he was chosen to go to Île Royale (Cape Breton Island) and continue his survey of the shores of Acadia. His expedition was organized by Roland-Michel Barrin* de La Galissonière, then head of the Dépôt des Cartes et Plans de la Marine in Paris. Chabert reached Louisbourg in August 1750 and immediately began to make a long series of observations about the waters of Île Royale. Although the weather was continually bad, he entered what is now the Strait of Canso, obtained a longitude from the shore, and twice observed the astronomical latitude. He also recorded tides and compass variations and charted the strait. At Canso itself he carried out similar observations and drew a second chart before returning to Louisbourg. He then surveyed the coast of Île Royale from Guyon Island, southwest of Cape Gabarus, northward beyond Scatarie Island. During the winter he had a but constructed on the ramparts at Louisbourg and despite the rigours of the climate successfully established the longitude of the town before spring. In June 1751 he departed for Cape Sable at the southern extremity of Nova Scotia to determine its latitude and longitude and then coasted along the shore. At the conclusion of his survey he discovered the length of Nova Scotia to be about 15 to 20 leagues shorter than was shown on contemporary charts. The following month he successfully located Sable Island, and in August he charted the southern coast of Newfoundland from Cape Ray to Cape Race. Returning to France in November, Chabert was attached to the Dépôt de la Marine under La Galissonière's direction and prepared his surveys for...

[Signed] [First Edition] Lettre manuscrite aux Lieutenant de Spahis de Constantine en Algérie datée du 5 mai 1844 [Algérie] [Used - Fine] [Softcover] 56.61 CAD Le 3e régiment de spahis participe à de nombreuses campagnes et expéditions coloniales. Il participe à la conquête de l'Algérie, entre 1830 et 1849. En 1854, le régiment fournit des volontaires à la formation d'un escadron mixte composé des 1er, 2e et 3e spahis pour la campagne de Crimée. Cet escadron est affecté à l'escorte du maréchal de Saint-Arnaud. L'escadron participe à la bataille de l'Alma le 20 septembre puis à celle d'Inkerman le 5 novembre. Le régiment escorte alors le général Canrobert, qui succède au maréchal Saint-Arnaud, mort du choléra après la bataille de l'Alma. Les spahis rejoignent l'Algérie à la fin novembre. Les 1er et 3e escadrons du 3e spahis participent à la première expédition en Tunisie, en 1881-1882. Un escadron assure plus particulièrement l'escorte des convois et des colonnes d'infanterie ainsi que la sécurité des pistes entre la base portuaire de La Calle et les troupes opérant en Kroumirie. Les deux escadrons rejoignent ensuite les rangs de la brigade Bonie. L'unité de cavalerie indigène qui constitue la cavalerie de la seconde expédition de 1882 ne prendra officiellement le nom de spahis qu'en 1886 et deviendra le 4e régiment de spahis tunisiens (4e RST) en 1921. Elle sera en 1882 à la prise de Kairouan et poursuivra de nombreuses opérations de police dans le sud tunisien jusqu'en 1889. Le 1er escadron du 3e régiment de spahis participe à la campagne d'Indochine, en intégrant le "Régiment de marche du Tonkin" avec le 3e escadron du 1er spahis, le 5e escadron du 2e spahis et un escadron du 1er régiment de chasseurs d'Afrique. Cette formation, placée sous les ordres du chef d'escadrons O'Connor participe aux opérations de la conquête de 1884-85 jusqu'en 1889. De 1892 à 1894, seuls quelques éléments détachés des 1er et 3e spahis participent à la campagne du Dahomey pour renforcer en cadres l'escadron de spahis sénégalais : le régiment fournit quatre officiers, 26 sous-officiers, brigadiers, trompettes et spahis français et un vétérinaire. L'ensemble est intégré à la colonne Dods. La formation prend part à de violents combats à Dogba, au gué de Tchué, aux sources de Koto, à la prise de la ville de Kano, jusqu'à la prise de d'Abomey, capitale du roi Behanzin qui met fin aux combats. Entre 1898 et 1900, un demi peloton du 3e spahis renforce les spahis sahariens de Ouargla chargés de la protection des convois de ravitaillement de la Mission Foureau-Lamy. Après avoir traversé le Sahara et atteint le lac Tchad, les spahis terminent leur odyssée par une charge inouïe lors de la bataille de Kousseri le 22 avril 1900 où le commandant Lamy, chef de la mission est tué.

The 4 maps found in the First edition are present with the text now in French. The fifth map is a map of Balnibarbi without the other islands. An early owner's name "Ghaudin" is penned on title page. A discreet ink notation "Norrby Bibliotek" is penned at the top of the front pastedown. There is some very minor underlining in the text. There are scattered minor spots and there are minor chips to the fore margin of one of the maps. The binding is firm. A very attractive book. FIRST EDITION in FRENCH of Gulliver's Travels. This anonymous translation was published in the Hague in early January of 1727 less than 3 months after the late October 1726 publication of the English edition. In 1728 the publishers, P. Gosse & J. Neaulme, added a French translation of a third volume which has come to be known as the "spurious" Gulliver together with a French translation of the 4 Keys written under the pseudonym Corolini di Marco. Originally published in 1726 under the title "A Key: being observations and explanatory notes upon the travels of Lemuel Gulliver" it has been variously attributed to Swift himself, Edmund Curll, and to John Arbuthnot. A second translation of Gulliver's Travels was made by Abbe Pierre Francois Guyot and published some 3 months later in Paris. A study of the various French translations of the work was made by Amelie Derome in 2018 and published by HAL. Her findings concerning this first French translation are revealing. "The first French translation, which was anonymously published in The Hague in January 1727, remains quite faithful to the original Gulliver : very few passages are amended, the matter-of-fact level of language is mostly kept, and the edition retains most of the original's paratextual elements such as Gulliver's portrait, the four maps of the lands which the captain has discovered and the two diagrams. The second French translation, however, which was released in Paris in March 1727, is the epitome of what George Mounin has coined as les 'belles infideles', the beautiful unfaithful, that is to say of classic translations which heavily rearranged their source texts so that they would better fit the proper taste, le bon gout, which ruled in 18th century France. The author of this second translation, Desfontaines, a renowned character of the literary world and one of Voltaire's future archenemies, has thus happily adapted the text, cutting entire...

Contemporary quarter leather over marbled boards. Binding remains sound and attractive with moderate rubbing and wear to the leather spine, particularly at the head and foot. Gilt spine lettering remains partially legible. Boards are firmly attached. Interior generally clean with light scattered foxing and age toning. A well-preserved example of an early nineteenth-century French medical monograph. An uncommon medical study devoted to acute hydrocephalus, referred to by the author as Méningo-Céphalite des Enfans (meningoencephalitis of children). Written by French physician D. Charpentier and published by the renowned medical publisher J.-B. Baillière, this work examines the nature, pathology, diagnosis, and treatment of a disease that represented one of the most feared pediatric neurological conditions of the early nineteenth century. The volume reflects a period when physicians were attempting to distinguish inflammatory diseases of the brain and meninges from other childhood illnesses through increasingly systematic clinical observation. The work is of interest to collectors and researchers in the history of neurology, pediatrics, infectious disease, and nineteenth-century medicine. Baillière publications are frequently encountered in important medical collections due to the firm's role in disseminating many of the era's influential scientific and medical texts. An attractive and uncommon early French contribution to the literature of pediatric neurology. Carefully packed and shipped in a box. Shipped via USPS with tracking provided.

He ended up writing a seven volume history of the Civil War, plus an accompanying atlas. This set is only the seven volume text. Green leather spine with marbled boards, save volume 7, where the green has faded from the spine and the boards and endpapers differ from the others. Shelfworn. Some hinges cracked, but still in very good shape.

[First Edition] Photographie de plateau en noir et blanc de CORSAIR sur papier fort format A4 en très belle condition Roland West [Thelma Todd] 60.18 CAD Thelma Todd est une actrice américaine, née le 29 juillet 1906 à Lawrence (Massachusetts) et morte le 16 décembre 1935 (à 29 ans) à Pacific Palisades (Californie). Interprète de plus de 50 longs métrages entre 1926 et 1935, elle est notamment connue pour ses rôles dans les comédies interprétées par les Marx Brothers, Monnaie de singe (1931) et Plumes de cheval (1932), ainsi que dans celles de Charley Chase, Buster Keaton ou encore Laurel et Hardy. Durant la période du muet, elle apparait dans de nombreux seconds rôles qui mettent plus en valeur sa beauté que son jeu d'actrice. Avec le parlant, elle a l'occasion de jouer d'autres genres de rôles et signe un contrat avec le producteur Hal Roach, qui la fait jouer dans des films interprétés par des stars du cinéma comique tels Harry Langdon, Charley Chase et Laurel et Hardy. En 1931, elle est, avec l'actrice Zasu Pitts, la vedette d'une série de comédies, Roach désirant créer une version féminine du tandem Laurel et Hardy. En 1933, Zasu Pitts quitte Roach, et elle est remplacée par Patsy Kelly. Dans cette série de courts métrages, Thelma joue souvent le rôle d'une jeune femme ayant toutes sortes de problèmes et faisant de son mieux pour rester calme et charmante, malgré les maladresses de sa partenaire. Thelma Todd est alors considérée comme une actrice confirmée, et Hal Roach la prête à d'autres studios pour donner la réplique à Bert Wheeler et Robert Woolsey, Buster Keaton, Joe E. Brown et les Marx Brothers. Elle apparait aussi dans des films plus dramatiques, notamment dans la première version du Faucon maltais (1931, avec Ricardo Cortez dans le rôle de Sam Spade). Durant sa carrière, elle figure dans près de 120 films, courts et longs métrages confondus. En août 1934, elle ouvre un café à Pacific Palisades, le Thelma Todd Sidewalk Cafe, qui attire une clientèle composée de vedettes de Hollywood et de touristes. Elle continue d'interpréter la série dont elle est la covedette, puis en 1935 elle joue dans La Bohémienne avec Laurel et Hardy. C'est son dernier film, toutes les scènes où elle doit apparaître ont pu être tournées avant sa mort, mais plusieurs d'entre elles ont été refilmées, le producteur Roach a supprimé ses scènes de dialogue et a limité son apparition à un numéro musical. Le lundi 16 décembre 1935 au matin, elle est retrouvée morte dans sa voiture, dans le garage de l'ex-actrice Jewel Carmen, également ex-épouse du compagnon et associé de Thelma, Roland West ; la maison de Jewell Carmen est située non loin du restaurant de Thelma. La cause de la mort est déclarée être due à un empoisonnement au monoxyde de carbone. L'enquête de la police révèle qu'elle a passé sa dernière soirée dans un restaurant bien connu d'Hollywood, le Trocadero, où l'artiste Stanley Lupino et sa fille, l'actrice Ida Lupino, donnaient une fête. Là, elle a eu un bref mais vif échange avec son ex-mari, Pat DiCicco. Ses amis déclarent aux enquêteurs qu'elle était de bonne humeur et qu'ils ne voient aucune raison...

According to Barbier, the French controversialist Thierry de Viaixnes (1659-1735), who found himself often at odds with his superiors, was the principal editor of the work; at the time of its preparation he was serving as director of an academy at Hautvilliers in the diocese of Rheims (McClintock & Strong). Dedicated to Johann Friederich Karg von Bebenburg (1648-1719), whose signed portrait was drawn and engraved by C. Gustav of Amling.

[First Edition] Les six voyages de Jean Baptiste Tavernier, Ecuyer Baron d'Aubonne, qu'il a fait en Turquie, en Perse, et aux Indes, pendant l'espace 5035.18 CAD 3 voumes. 636 pages with 6 illustrations. 481 pages with 24 Illustrations. 7 leaves+folded map+156 pages+folding map+96 leaves+178 pages+8 Illustrations. Small quarto (10" x 7 1/4") bound in original full leather with five raised spined bands with gilt lettering to black spine labels. Volume II first edition. Jean-Baptiste Tavernier was one of the most renowned travelers of 17th century Europe. The son of a French Protestant who had fled Antwerp to escape religious persecution, Tavernier was a jewel merchant who between 1632 and 1668 made six voyages to the East. The countries he visited (most more than once) included present-day Cyprus, Malta, Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia. In 1676 he published his two-volume Les six voyages de Jean Baptiste Tavernier (The six voyages of Jean Baptiste Tavernier). Presented here is the first edition of the book, which was published in Paris by the firm of Gervais Clousier. The complete title and subtitle of the book read: Les six voyages de Jean Baptiste Tavernier, e?cuyer baron d'Aubonne, en Turquie, en Perse, et aux Indes, pendant l'espace de quarante ans, & par toutes les routes que l'on peut tenir: accompagnez d'observations particulieres sur la qualite?, la religion, le gouvernement, les cou?tumes & le commerce de chaque pai?s, avec les figures, le poids, & la valeur des monnoyes qui y ont cours (The six voyages of Jean-Baptiste Tavernier, baron of Aubonne, through Turkey into Persia and the East-Indies, over the course of forty years, and by all possible routes, illustrated with particular observations on the quality, religion, government, customs and commerce of each country, with images, weight, and value of the currencies of each of them). An abridged and very imperfect English translation of the book appeared in 1677. In the Six Voyages, Tavernier states that he departed from Butler's company, in 1630, with the intention of traveling to Ratisbon (Regensburg), to attend the investiture of the son of Emperor Ferdinand II as King of the Romans. However, as the investiture did not take place until 1636, it is probable that he attended the ceremony between his first and second voyages. By his own account, he had seen Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Poland, and Hungary, as well as France, England and the Low Countries, and spoke the principal languages of these countries. Condition: Previous owner's old stamps and names to title, edges rubbed, corners bumped, some staining to head edges else a very good set.
