Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 3 parts in one, tall 8vo., xx + (6) + 73 + (1)pp, 14 double-page engraved plates ; (2) + 71 + (1)pp (page 43 is a folding printed table, with blank unpaginated verso), 2 folding engraved plates ; (2) + 177 + (1)pp (pages 145-6 and page 177 are folding printed tables), with an additional folding printed table paginated 35A, and 4 folding engraved plates, bound in twentieth century quarter morocco, spine titled in gilt. An unusally VG+ clean copy of this scarce work. (Allibone, 2582; Cohen, 40/41). This is a comprehensive work by Samuel Ware on the rebuilding of London Bridge and on the principles of Arches. The work is divided into three tracts with Tract One being an observation on Vaults; Tract Two Observations respecting the taking down and rebuilding of London Bridge; Tract Three The principles of pendent Bridges with reference to the properties of the Catenary, applied to The Menai Bridge. The first, on vaults, provides the text of papers read by Ware to the Society of Antiquaries of London in March 1812 and January 1817, intended to supplement Ware's book of 1809 on the same subject, and show Ware's good grasp of the principles of Gothic vault construction and his distinct lack of enthusiasm for the Greek Revival style then currently fashionable. The second, responding to John Rennie's projected design for a new London Bridge, provides technical analysis of the load bearing capacity of arches and other elements in bridge construction. The final essay is devoted to the theory of suspension bridge construction, with particular reference to Thomas Telford's Menai Bridge (Ware believed that Telford's design was unnecessarily expensive and that the bridge could be constructed more cheaply to a different design).

The three items totalling 11pp., 12mo. On three bifoliums. In good condition, lightly aged. ONE: 23 February 1860. 3pp., 12mo. She begins: 'I cannot receive yr. repeated welcome remembrance of old Remp[ston]e. days, without a line of thanks for the pleasurable thoughts they awaken - a boon, to a Recluse, who lives much on the past & on the far-off present, which a friendly telescope may bring before her'. She congratulates him in graceful terms on his 'success'. She describes her 'comfortable happy winter': 'Our adult school prospering & occasionally enlivened by fresh May-Lantern Exhibitions & Microscope ones, & myself & others amused with Marine animals in their Tanks disclosing their Curious habits & forms, revealing their beauties, suggesting the Types of imitative art'. She continues in the same vein before exclaiming: 'I love Art, but love nature more - its interests ever encreasing as the opportunities of enjoying the other lessens, so I may well be grateful to it, as well as for the pleasure the other has afforded me through a long life'. TWO: 'Thursday' [no date]. 4pp., 12mo. She 'can never lose sight' of Scharf, 'with the minds Eye, tho' the outward one may more meet yr. happy looks, in yr. now prosperous state, in wch. none can more rejoice to think of than yr. old Friend'. She is pleased that he and 'Warburton' have become friends, 'for I dearly love & honor him & his position is anything but what he deserves'.There have been 'great Changes' at Rempstone. 'I seem to have seen enough in this word & to call up the past, & to live in the present this the numerous books that tell of it'. Her 'excellent Brother' is in good health, and she has 'a Lady friend or 2 in succession all kindly working for me in village advancement'. THREE: 'Sunday | 10 Nov. [1860]'. 4pp., 12mo. Announcing the death of her 'dear sister Sitwell', and describing in detail the circumstances ('[.] The day before she drove to Loughbro' Station to meet Miss Bathurst, her very old friend [.]'.) She gives news of her son and his wife, just returned from America, and condoles with Scharf on the loss of his father (George Johann Scharf, died 11 November 1860).

The background to this letter is explained in Simpson's entry in the Oxford DNB which states that he 'took a deep interest in the movement for better elementary education. He was one of the founders of the Edinburgh modern infant school, in which he attempted to solve the problem of religious education by allowing parents to select religious instructors themselves. Failing to receive adequate support, however, the school was ultimately sold to the kirk session of New Greyfriars. Simpson continued devoted to the cause of non-sectarian education, and lectured on the subject throughout Britain. In 1837 he appeared as a witness before the House of Commons select committee on education, and his examination lasted seven days. He expressed his views on the need for educational reform in several publications including The Necessity of Popular Education as a National Object (1834), and The Philosophy of Education (1836).' The specific context of the letter is discussed in Stephen Tomlinson's 'Head Masters: Phrenology, Secular Education, and Nineteenth-Century Social Thought' (2013), which describes how Simpson, along with the Irish politician Sir Thomas Wyse (1791-1862), 'led a national campaign for a state-run system of public secular schooling'. (Wyse is mentioned in the letter, along with Professor Dionysius Lardner (1793-1859), the Irish populariser of science. There is also a reference to an 1836 dinner given to Simpson by the Friends of Education in Manchester, with Wyse in the chair. The recipient, William Hutton, had a humble background, and took a keen interest in popular education, being instrumental in setting up Mechanics' Institutes in the North of England.) 3pp, 4to. In good condition, lightly aged, with thin strip of paper from mount adhering to the reverse of the second leaf. The letter would appear to relate to an intended lecture for the Newcastle upon Tyne, Durham and Northumberland Educational Society. Simpson begins by stating that he has received Hutton's 'kind and encouraging letter of the 25th at Bristol'. He asks him convey his acceptance 'to the Mayor & the other very respectable Gentlemen who have signed the requisition for my visit', and says that he will go to Newcastle 'some time in October as shall be afterwards arranged'. He has 'a Note from Mr Turner, stating that he cannot tell when Dr Lardner is to be with you, but thinks it will be about the last week in September'. The note refers Simpson to Lardner himself, but Simpson 'had not the means and time to see him', and will 'therefore trust to another letter' from the recipient, 'mentioning his time both beginning and ending, when you learn it'. He continues: 'Nothing can be better than your mode of proceeding. I feel that I shall come most pleasantly to Newcastle. I have delivered one lecture here at the request of many members of the Association. You will see it mentioned in the Athenaeum of next Saturday. It produced a strong effect. The views are so new & yet felt to be true.' He has sent him 'a copy, by Mr Turner, of the Education Dinner Pamphlet at Manchester with MrWyse's speech. Some notice of it in the Papers may do good to my lectures.' He continues in good spirits: 'We have finished a brilliant meeting of the Association, & held a meeting where we established a plan to meet as friends to education, being members of the Association, wherever the Association meets, to diffuse knowledge of, and zeal for education all over the country.' In a postscript he urges the recipient to 'Think of a place & hour of Lecturing', adding: 'I shall be at Dr Maldens Worcester for a week after Wednesday week. He will forward my letters.'.

Königsberg, 29. VIII. 1829, Gr.-4°. 1 Seite. Doppelblatt mit Adresse und rotem Lacksiegel. An den "verehrten Freund und Landsmann" Karl Gottfried Siebelis (1769-1843), Philologe und Pädagoge in Bautzen: "[.] Lange schon bin ich Ihnen meinen herzlichsten Dank für Ihre gütigen Geschenke, Pausanias u. Programme, schuldig, denen ich so viel Belehrung verdanke. Eine geringere Erwiederung ist mein Aglaophamus, den Sie mit diesem Briefe erhalten werden; möge er Ihnen nicht ganz mißfallen! An drey oder vier Stellen bin ich von Ihrer Meinung, die mich oft geleitet hat, abgewichen, mit der Freimüthigkeit der Philologen u. mit dem Ausdruck der hohen Achtung, zu der ich mich längst verpflichtet fühlte [.]" - Der hervorragende Philologe stammte wie Siebelis aus Naumburg. Seit 1814 war er Prof. der Altertumswissenschaft und Eloquenz an der Univ. Königsberg. Sein Interesse galt in erster Linie der klassischen Philologie, er trat aber auch mit Arbeiten zur griechischen Religionsgeschichte hervor. Mit seinem Werk "Aglaophamus sive de theologiae mysticae Graecorum causis" (1819) wandte er sich gegen die Symbolik Friedrich Georg Creuzers und versuchte, die natürliche Entstehung der griechischen Religion anhand umfassender Quellenstudien nachzuweisen.
