Lisbon, na Impressão Liberal, 1823.. FIRST EDITION. 32 works in 1 volume. 4°, contemporary sheep (covers scraped, other minor wear), flat spine gilt, crimson morocco lettering piece (partly defective), edges sprinkled blue-green. Internally fine, overall very good to fine. 96 pp. *** FIRST and ONLY EDITION, a COMPLETE RUN of this philosophical discourse on topics such as political and royal power, anarchism, rights, liberty, the Anglo-Portuguese alliance, and religious reform.José Agostinho de Macedo (1761-1831) was a prolific writer of prose and verse, best known for his aggressive pamphleteering on behalf of the absolutists: "Ponderous and angry like a lesser Samuel Johnson, he bullies and crushes his opponents in the raciest vernacular ... his idiomatic and vigorous prose will always be read with pleasure" (Bell, Portuguese Literature p. 282). Macedo's high literary reputation among contemporaries proved ephemeral.As a young man, Macedo caused so much trouble within the Augustinian Order that he was unfrocked in 1792, but an influential friend helped him retain his ecclesiastical status by obtaining a brief of secularization. Soon becoming a leading orator, he was named royal preacher in 1802.Macedo is notorious for his arrogance in literary matters: he condemned as worthless Homer's poems, which he had never read in the original, and believed his own epic Gama, 1811 (reworked and published as O Oriente, 1814), could have taught Camões how Os Lusiadas should have been written. When the public reception for O Oriente was less than enthusiastic, he published Censura dos Lusiadas, a detailed and virulent critique of Camões. In Os Burros, a satirical poem published 1812-1814, Macedo skewered a host of men and women, living and dead. Barbosa du Bocage's satirical poem Pena de Taliao was provoked by Macedo: "Expõe no tribunal da eternidade / Monumentos de audacia, e não de engenho ...."*** Rafael & Santos, Jornais e revistas portugueses do séc.

Macedo attacks Candido de Almeida y Sandoval, who had fled Portugal after being accused of abusing freedom of the press by his virulent attacks on the government. When he returned in 1823, he established a periodical, O Oraculo, in which he espoused ideas that were too liberal for the absolutist regime, and also attacked Macedo, who here retaliated with characteristic venom.

Macedo didn't die until 1831: this work merely announces that he has written his "last words" for publication, as of May 1822. Macedo is feeling very sorry for himself: "Por que razão este homem, que todo se votou a honra dos Portuguezes, he o mais insultado, vilipendiado, desprezado, e perseguido dos mesmos Portuguezes?" (p. 2). He reports that he has just burned the manuscript of the (unpublished) third volume of his history of Africa, and bitterly insists that when he dies, all that will be found in his home will be his brief of secularization and the letter naming him pregador of the royal chapel. According to Innocêncio, this work caused quite a stir in Portugal, both among those who loved Macedo and those who hated him. Macedo's self-imposed moratorium lasted 3 or 4 months and spawned a large number of pamphlets favoring and attacking Macedo.* Innocêncio IV, 202. Not located in OCLC.

Fonseca Neves laments that Macedo burned his manuscript: "não tiverão a sorte que merecião: melhor fôra que pela mão do carrasco fossem alguns delles queimados publicamente" and asks if Macedo wont also please burn Neves' poem Os Burros (p. 6). A sonnet by the author ends the essay.Antonio Pinto da Fonseca Neves (Porto, 1784-Lisbon, 1836) was convicted of taking part in the conspiracy of Gomes Freire in 1817 and sentenced to ten years exile in Mozambique, which was later changed to serving with the army at Montevideo. Back in Lisbon by 1821, he soon suffered more persecution for his liberal ideas, being confined for a considerable time in the Castelo de São Jorge. Finally released in 1833, he returned in 1836 to serve as governor of the Castelo, but died the same year. He published a volume of Obras poeticas, Lisbon, 1822, and several short works, including two in which he argued with José Agostinho de Macedo.* Innocêncio I, 237; on the author, see also VIII, 286.

R A R E . . *** **** *** . . . ONE OF THE MOST STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL JAPANESE BOTANICALS . . . OF THE MEIJI PERIOD . . . PRINTED ENTIRELY BY HAND ON WOODBLOCK USING WASHI PAPER . . THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS JAPANESE BOTANICALS EVER DONE . . REPRESENTING THE FOUR SEASONS, ITS FLOWERS & FRUITING TREES . . * A most superb example of the best in Japanese period polychrome woodblock printing. Per Bartlett [below]: "The work was published just a century after it was begun. It is so extensive and deals with so many more plants than the conventional 'Flowers of the four seasons' of most artists that it is botanical as well as artistic in conceptions." . THE SET: The set was issued in 10 volumes, displaying seasonal flowers and fruits. . *** THE ARTIST: The artist Sakai [1761-1828] served in the Imperial court and was the son of a Daimyo of Himeiji in Harima province. He painted this work from living specimens, and was assisted by Suzuki who supplemented the work. . Upon Sakai's death, the work was continued and finished by Nakano [1833-1892]. He rounded out the work to contain some 1000 examples, then it was published for the first time in 1908. . The work is so extensive that it could be considered a Japanese flora if it were not entirely unclassified and without text except for a table of contents. . The work contains a profusion of stunningly beautiful color woodblock-printed flowers as well as fruits & fruiting trees, illustrated in Deluxe large Oban size. . The Co-painters/artists were Suzuki Sonoichi and Nakano Sonoaki. [See Roberts below for more on all the painters] . *** COLLATION OF THE BOOKS: The title pages list the names and numbers of illustrations found in each volume. The complication arises in the method of counting the full-page v.s.single page prints. . This set contains a total of 206 individual prints in all, 193 are double-page, 13 are single-page. The list of plates counts pages even though two pages equal a single print per above. Suffice to say the below volumes are complete as issued. The book calls for 208 pages of plates, our count is correct as we are counting double-page + single page prints. . Collation of Each Volume: . HARU: SPRING: 2 Volumes: 1. Title page, list of 49 plates Parts 1-2 [2 vols., unnumbered plates] total is 76 plates 1. 24 double page + 1 single page plates= 25 prints in all 2. 21 double page + 6 single page = 27 prints in all [all unnumbered] . * NATSU: Summer: 4 Volumes: Parts 1-4 1.

Title page, list of 70 plates . plates 1-23=22 double page +1 single page=23 prints in all 2. plates 24-46 = 22 double page prints 3. plates 47-69 + 22 double + 1 single page=23 plates in all . * FUYU: WINTER: Not present. . *** . SIZE OF THE BOOKS: The cover size is 18.8 x 27.7 cm., a double-page print from margin to margin is 37.5 x 27.7 cm., a bit larger than "Oban" size. The single-page is 18.8 x 27.7 cm., or a bit larger than "Chuban" size. . *** Due to the exceptional beauty of the color prints in this work, complete copies are exceptionally difficult to find. Many have been broken and individually framed. This set lacks the winter single volume, which as the least examples. The most lavishly illustrated volumes are spring, summer & autumn. The set is sold "as is," incomplete. . *** By & large a most impressive & beautifully color-illustrated botanica japonica. . *** REFERENCES: . H.

He is best known for his use of the comparative method in the field of scientific anthropology, the discovery of ginseng, and his writings on the Iroquois. Lafitau was the first of the Jesuit missionaries in Canada to have a scientific point of view. Lafitau is best known for his important discoveries on the Iroquois society. He arrived in Quebec in 1711 amidst a period of hostility between the Five Nations prior to the signing of the Treaty of Utrecht. The woods were deemed unsafe for travelers and therefore he was ordered to join the Iroquois on the south shore of the St. Lawrence valley in Sault St. Louis, also known as Kahnawake. Sault St. Louis already shared a great tradition with both the members of his order and the Iroquois by the time Lafitau arrived. He noticed the importance of women in Iroquois society, the universality of marriage as an institution, age grading, the classificatory system of relationship, and the pulse of Indian politics in the town council. Lafitau also contributed to existing scholarship on the Iroquois Long-house; he details the rules of residence and social organization. Lafitau's observations provide a greater understanding of Iroquois kinship and exogamy. His major work, Moeurs des Sauvages Amériquains, written in French, was first published in 1724 in Paris. It is entitled Customs of the American Indians Compared with the Customs of Primitive Times and is 1,100 pages in total.

Cole Pt. 2, p. 74; BMNH p. 417; Nissen ZBI 1031. SIR JOHN GRAHAM DALYELL (1775-1851) was a Scottish antiquary and naturalist. When an infant he fell from a table upon a stone floor and became lame for life. He attended classes first at St. Andrews, and secondly at the University of Edinburgh, and while there qualified himself for the Scotch bar, and became a member of the Faculty of Advocates in 1796. The work in the parliament-house proved to be too fatiguing for him, but he acquired a considerable business as a consulting advocate, and although a younger son and not wealthy he made it a rule of his legal practice not to accept a fee from a relative, a widow, or an orphan. In 1797 he was elected a member of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, and was chosen the first vice-president of that society; he also became a member of the Society of Arts for Scotland, and served as president 1839-40. Devoting himself to letters with an enthusiasm which animated him to the last, he soon turned his attention to the manuscript treasures of the Advocates' Library, and in 1798 produced his first work, Fragments of Scottish History. In addition to his knowledge of antiquarian lore he had also an extensive acquaintance with natural history, and in 1814 published Observations on several Species of Planariæ, illustrated by coloured figures of living animals. On 22 August 1836 he was created a knight by letters patent, and on 1 February 1841 succeeded his brother, Sir James Dalyell, as sixth baronet of Binns. With Rare and Remarkable Animals of Scotland published in 1847 (offered here), Dalyell published his most magnificent work, which was unfortunately delayed for nearly five years, owing to a dispute and a law process with the engraver. This delay deprived Dalyell of the full credit of several of his discoveries in connection with medusae, which feature prominently among the 100+ fine hand colored engravings of marine zoophytes. FROM THE PREFACE: "The substance of the following Treatise has been derived from a series of observations, protracted during many years. I have endeavoured to select the most vigorous living specimens of their kind; and along with a general description, to present their resemblance from delineations by the most skillful artists, By suitable precautions, I have been enabled to preserve individual subjects, one, two, nay, even ten or twenty years, and, by this long acquaintance, to gain some information of their character. The naturalist's earliest care ought to be obtaining an accurate delineation of his subjectalways selecting the finest specimenand taking it in motion, or when the parts are best unfolded. Herein it is preferable to employ another's talent than the naturalist himself, though a skillful artist. All specimens ought to be healthy, vigorous, and entire. I have endeavoured to practice this rule throughout, from conviction of its utility. Among many accomplished artists to whom this work is indebted, I cannot omit the late Mr Peter Syme, an eminent flower painter, the late Mr Alexander Macaulay, an amateur who devoted much of his time to similar studies,- John Welch, an excellent miniature painter, whose exquisite productions from the microscope are entitled to the highest admirationlikewise Mr Andrew Thorn, presently occupied in paintings for the Stained Glass Windows of the House of Lords, whose accuracy and patient diligence exceed all commendation.", John Van Voorst, 1847, 0, 4 volumes.
