Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the history of the different international efforts to build a canal connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. As of the time of the book's writing, there had not yet been a successful completion of such a project, though many efforts had been attempted, includin…g a number of early Spanish expeditions. The author highlights that one of the many challenges faced by those who had attempted to build the canal was the resistance of indigenous peoples who used the land where the canals were to be built, which had often led to violence. Many of the efforts described demonstrate the limits of technology and the influence of politics and economics on international projects. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Couverture rigide. Condizione: Neuf. Condizione sovraccoperta: Neuf. Edition originale. Paris 2004. 1 volume/1. -- Comme Neuf -- Reliure éditeur cartonnée sous jaquettte illustrée. Format in-4°( 28 x 22,5 cm )( 990 gr ). ------ 168 pages très illustrées. *********** "" Provocante ou romantique, homosexuelle ou hétérosexuelle, la… représentation de la sexualité avait à Rome un vaste public. L'art érotique romain était d'une infinie variété, pouvant aller des simples lampes à huile en terre cuite jusqu'aux vaisselles d'argent ciselées. Ces uvres d'art sont longtemps restées cachées dans les réserves des musées car considérées comme pornographiques. C'est à travers une analyse sociologique pertinente qu'elles nous sont aujourd'hui dévoilées et replacées dans leur contexte originel, qu'il s'agisse de l'intimité domestique, du bordel ou des salles de réceptions officielles. Les représentations érotiques dans la Rome antique reflétaient la condition sociale de ceux qui les possédaient. Le sexe était alors envisagé comme un plaisir légitime qui fournissait matière à rire et à plaisanter. Nous voici donc au cur d'un monde ancien où une sexualité épanouie était le signe d'une bénédiction divine ; où bien des actes que nous considérons aujourd'hui comme répréhensibles, immoraux ou illégaux étaient pratiqués et célébrés sans complexe "" *************.

In fair condition, on aged and worn paper, with tape from mount adhering to reverse of second leaf, which is docketted by Manby. Signed 'J Emerson Tennent'. Folded once. He explains that a friend of his, 'who is much interested about the Suez Canal, is going to…Egypt next week', and that he has that day promised, if he can, 'to obtain for him, a copy of an Address which you once gave me, (but which I have put away so carefully that I cannot find it now) delivered by J. M. McClean, to the Institution, in which he stated the cost already incurred and the large balance, still required to complete the canal'. This is, he believes, 'an un-satisfactory inference as to the power of raising so great a sum, or [rending it re-production?]'. In addition to the address, he would like 'any later documents shewing the state & prospects of the enterprise'. The Suez Canal took from 1859 to 1869 to build.

Aggiungi al carrelloThe 57-mile canal section of the two rivers was constructed between 1794 and 1810. In the face of competition by the Great Western Railway it fell into disuse in the latter nineteenth century. A process of restoration began a hundred years later, and the canal is now a popular amenity. Both items in good condition, lightly aged…and worn. Both headed on first page 'Report of the Committee of Management, of the Kennet and Avon Canal Navigation.' Both are 3pp., 8vo, on bifoliums. ONE: The report covers the whole of the first page, and is signed in type 'Charles Dundas, Chairman.' The second page carries a letter from 'Thomas Merriman & Sons, | Principal Clerk', dated from Marlborough, 23 July 1830. The third page carries a 'Statement of Accounts for the last Year', in double entry, the first of the two accounts on the page headed 'Annual Account of the Receipts and Expenditure of the Kennet and Avon Canal Company, for the Year ending 29th March, 1830.' The account is made out by the firm's auditors Thomas Sanders and J. E. Bicheno. Addressed in manuscript on reverse of second leaf, with postmark dated 11 August 1830, to 'Sir J. E. Harington Bart. | Berkeley Square.' TWO: Report on first page as in Item One, signed in type by 'Frederick Page, Chairman. | Marlborough, 17th July, 1832.' The first twenty-two lines of the report constitute a memorial tribute, beginning: 'The Committee cannot enter on the Report of this year, without first adverting to the great loss which the Proprietors have sustained by the death of The Right Honorable Charles Dundas, Lord Amesbury, their late Chairman. | The imperfect scheme, projected in 1788, of extending the Navigation of the River Kennet to Hungerford, was by him enlarged to that of a connexion between Bristol and the Metropolis; and his personal exertions towards the accomplishment of this improved plan, were never from that time relaxed, although they were unavailing, until December, 1792; when the spirit of Canal Enterprize enabled him to carry it into execution.' Taking up around half of the second page is a map by 'R. Cartwright Lithc. Printer 1 Warwick Place Bedford Row', 'intended to illustrate the foregoing Report by showing that the Tonnage desirable between Bitton and Bristol in the West, and between Bitton and the Dundas Aqueduct to the East from Coals brought from the Gloucestershire Collieries will be a new source of Income, as the quantity of Coal at present carried on those parts of the line is very inconsiderable.' At the foot of the second page is reproduced a letter from Merriman & Sons.

Aggiungi al carrelloThe Rochdale Canal was conceived in 1776, and despite opposition from mill owners fearing a disruption to their water supply, began construction following the passing of an act of parliament in 1794. On completion (it was officially opened in 1804), and until the railway age, it constituted the main commercial route between York…shire and Lancashire. The present small collection provides an interesting sidelight into the legal and financial difficulties involved in the project, with several reference reflecting badly on Shuttleworth's professional capabilities. The correspondents are: John Bill of Farley Hall, Staffordshire; William Bilsborrow, Haslingden brewer; Samuel Greg, Rochdale cotton manufacturer; Howarth & Wilcock, Halifax solicitors; Thomas Marriott (of Stockport?); John Robert Ogden, Bradford solicitor; Mark Pearman of Coventry; N. & F. Phillipps & Co., Manchester merchants; Daniel Whalley of Great Fenton. The ten items in fair condition, on aged and worn paper, each with slight loss at the head of the leaf, and Item Five below with a small hole in leaf resulting in loss to a few words of text. A curious feature is the emendation of the word 'Canal' to 'Company' in several of the letters in an unknown nineteenth-century hand. ONE: ALS ('Jno. Bill') from John Bill (1756-1847) of Farley Hall, surgeon to the Manchester Infirmary. 4 May 1802. 1p., 8vo. Depositing a cheque for £40 from Messrs Jones & Co.

This, with Particulars of Mr Hamer's Bill, is all I at present require you to furnish me with. There are some errors which I have found & which a personal interview wod. immediately reconcile, [.] I beg your immediate attention to the above, that I may examine and liquidate'.
