FROM THE DUST JACKET FLAP: Rex, the King of Carnival, has ruled over and helped define Mardi Gras in New Orleans since 1872. Since that time, as Rex founders hoped, millions of visitors have witnessed the spectacle of the Rex Procession, the centerpiece of the Crescent City's unique and colorful Carnival celebration. The story of Rex's fanciful Carnival Kingdom -- its royalty and traditions, its Processions and Imperial Receptions, its crown jewels and rich art -- is a story best told in pictures. Rex: An illustrated History of the School of Design presents more than 250 images, most not previously published, to illuminate that visual history. . . . . . . . .

A Paris, Debure, 1735. 4to. Contemp. full calf, 5 raised bands, richly gilt spine. Titlelabel gone. XVIII,(8),408,(2) pp. and 20 engraved plates (on 10 folded sheets). A wide-margined copy, clean and fine, printed on good paper. First French edition - "Vegetable Staticks", 1727 - of this milestone work in plant physiology, being the first complete account of the physiology of plants, including the reaction with air and the movement of the sap. Hale's also here introduced a new method of gas collection and the work greatly influenced the subsequent develpment in chemistry and contributed to the discovery of many of the most impirtent medical gases. This importent French translation by Buffon which has the famous "Préface du traductcur," in which Buffon praises the experimental method, and includes Hales?s appendix of 1733, was very influential."Hale's many experiments with gases led him to demonstrate the dependence of plants on air, that plants inspire and give off "air". He measured the volume of waterabsorbed and evaporated in plants and studied the movements of the sap in plants. By weighing a grown potted plant and also the loss in soil in which it grew, hales proved that something material was absorbed by the plant from the air. With the use of a manometeer (pressure gauge) he traced the blood pressure and velocity in the veins and arteries of animals."(Dibner in "herald of Science", no. 26).Parkinson "Breakthroughs", 1727 B - Milestones of Science:91 (Engl. ed.) - Dibner: No 26 (Engl. ed.). - Horblitt 45 a (Engl. ed.).- PMM: 189 a (Engl. ed.).…
