Hardcover. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Volume 19 is "good" with four raised bands, title in gilt to red leather spine label; Volume XX is "Very good minus" with five raised bands, gilt devices bright to spine, some fraying to head of spine. Volume 19 smells old, but not objectionably so. This pair of bound volumes -- half leather over Dutch-marbled, paper-covered boards -- have similar bindings, but are not an exact matched pair. Volume 19 has plain endpapers; Vol. XX has marbled endpapers to match its boards. Volume 19 includes Numbers 451-476, Volume XX Numbers 477-501 of the weekly journal, founded and edited by Charles Dickens. The first volume contains the first two-thirds (23 installments, Jan. 4 through June 6, 1868), and the second volume the final third of Wilkie Collins' "The Moonstone" in the numbers of June 13 through Aug. 8, 1868, this serialization comprising the first complete publication of this celebrated classic of detective/mystery fiction. These are the final two volumes in the "old series" of the weekly literary magazine before Dickens instituted his "New Series," the announcement for which appears on the final page of Volume XX. T. S. Eliot called "The Moonstone . . . the first, the longest, and the best of modern English detective novels in a genre invented by Collins and not by Poe." Dorothy Sayers praised it as "probably the very finest detective story ever written." Franklin Blake, the gifted amateur, is an early example of the gentleman detective, while the novel has also been described as perhaps the earliest police procedural, due to the portrayal of the highly competent Sergeant Cuff, the London policeman called in from Scotland Yard (whom Collins based on the real-life Inspector Jonathan Whicher, who solved the Constance Kent murder.) "The Moonstone," representing Collins' only complete reprisal of the popular "multi-narration" method he'd previously utilized in "The Woman in White," was first published in book form later in 1868 by Tinsley Brothers, London, that triple-decker now frequently fetching $4,000. Some scattered foxing to preliminary and final pages. (Page edges of Vol. XX are marbled, while page edges of Vol. 19 are plain, with faded burgundy topstain. Dutch marbling to boards and endpapers, while bright and attractive, appears to be a printed pattern.) This pair of bound volumes of the magazine -- containing the first complete appearance in print of Wilkie Collins' pioneer mystery "The Moonstone" -- now reduced from $1,700.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Michael ADAMS, "Some Account of a Journey, etc. quelques details sur un voyage a la mer Glaciale, et sur la decouverte des estes d'un Mammouth" in Bibliotheque Britannique, Geneva, 1808, volume 38, 404pp, with the Adams on pp pp 371-398. OFFERED WITH volume 37, 1808, 354pp. Both volumes are bound in pinkish paper-covered boards and gilt-stamped spine labels. As is usual the volume has some light scuffing to the boards and to the spines; the text is very crisp, and bright, and the bindings tight. Very GOOD condition. [++] The "Bibliotheque Britannique" provided translations of significant and important papers (mostly extracts, or reviews, though with some complete article translations) that were written primarily in English and then translated into French to reach a wider audience in Europe. Many of these translations were the first exposure to the papers on the Continent. Many of the leading lights were published here including Jenner, Davy, Thomson, Wollaston, Waterhouse, Gay-Lussac, Pictet, and many others. The journal was active 1796-1815 after which it changed direction somewhat and renamed "Bibliotheque Universelle". For more on the significance on the BB, see: "The Transmission of Culture in Western Europe, 1750-1850: Papers Celebrating the Bicentenary of the Foundation of the 'Bibliothèque Britannique' (1796-1815) in Geneva" by David Bickerton and Judith Proud. [++] Also in this volume: (DUNBAR, William.) "General Remarks, etc. Remarques generales sur les vents, l'etat de l'atmosphere, etc." which I take to be a translation of Dunbar's 1809 paper "Meteorological Observations, at the Forest, Four Miles East of the River Mississippi, in Lat. 31 degrees 28 minutes North, and in Long. 91 degrees 30 minutes West of Greenwich, for the Year 1800" appearing originally in "Transactions of the American Philosophical Society," Vol. 6 (1809), pp. 43-55 (13 pages), this paper being pp 101-115. DREE, [Étienne-Marie-Gilbert, Marquis de Drée (17601848)] "Recherche Experimentale sur un nouveau genre de liquifaction Ignee, qui explique la formation des laves lithoides." ("Memoir on a new type of igneous liquefaction that explains the formation of stony lavas"). This paper appears on pp 3-30, and outlines Dree's experiments with lava (!) Of other interest there is a paper by A.M. Vassalli-Eandi on an eathquake in the valleys of the Pelis, Cluson, and Po, pp 116-143. ALSO: Tardy de la Brossy, "Considerations Complementares sur la Chaleur Specifique des Corps"pp 201-218, among many other papers.
