Bate had been personal physician to Charles I, Oliver Cromwell and Charles II, had been one of the founding Fellows of the Royal Society and had published several medical and political articles and books including two volumes of Elenchus Motuum Nuperorum in Anglia. He had been so highly regarded that his papers were collected and published 19 years after his death by James Shipton as Bate’s Dispensatory (title of the English translation, published in the same year). The book, generally known as the Pharmacopoeia Bateana lived to see many editions in Latin, as well as in English and Dutch and was used as a book of reference until the end of the 18th century. It contains recipe's, their names, compositions, preparations, virtues, uses, and doses, as they are applicable to the whole practice of physick and chirurgery.Several other pharmacological texts are included: (1) "Orthotonia medicorum observata", on the right spelling of ingredients, in alphabetical order, and (2) the "Tabula Posologica", a table for regulation the doses of different medicines.With the bookplate of E. Grendel on the first endpaper. Some smalls stains on the boards, binding slightly rubbed, otherwise in good condition.l Hirsch II, p. 780.

Ad. 2. The title-page to ad 1 doesn’t mention the Conspectus formularum medicarum, first published in Halle in 1723, but it matches ads 1 and 3 in format and style and the Wellcome Library has the three bound together, so they were probably issued together. The work contains 16 “Tabulae" with a manual how to prepare and use some medicines.Ad. 3. The added work by Georg Ernst Stahl (1659-1734), noted on the ad 1 title-page, had been first published in Herrnstadt, Germany in 1721 and appeared in the Pharmacopoeia Bateana beginning with the 1741 edition (Venice, Jo. Gabriel Hertz). Here the Fundamenta are added under a separate title-page. However the three works in this book all have their own page numbers and signatures and in this case also their own title-page and could therefore have been published separately, the first title page of ad 1 show that it was meant that these three works were meant to be issued in this volume.With an owner's inscription dated 1777 from "Caroli Antonii Chirurgi Varallensis" on the verso of the first flyleaf.l Wellcome II, p. 113.

Many of the excellent plates are after photographs by Adrien Nadar. Artists like Emile van Marcke, Isodore Bonheur and Barye contributed to this work. "The plates were produced by a mixed process of photographic transposing on to a metal plate (heliography) followed by handwork of various kinds - soft ground etching, mezzotint and aquatint, the background tint being achieved by lithography" (Boalch).While regular copies are bound in green half roan, with plain cloth sides, the present set is bound in red half morocco, with gold-blocked red cloth sides with the note "offert par le Minstre de l'Agriculture".

[28], 468, [8 blank] pp.The third edition of this important history of the years 1608-1611, so crucial for the history of the Dutch Republic.

This resulted in the present Induciarum belli Belgici, libri tres (Three books about the Truce in the Dutch war), first published in Leiden in 1613.

[1], [1 blank], [10], 192 pp.Rare first and only edition of the commentary on the most recent edition of the Ghent pharmacopoeia, which had been published a year before. The author, a pharmacist from Ghent, constantly critiques and ridicules the person responsible for the revisions in the pharmacopoeia's latest edition. Several unfortunate errors in the formulation of the recipes lead to ironic commentary. For instance, when the pharmacopoeia mentions that all types of water can be used, and that in the alembic it "rises up by itself", Van Baveghem (1758-1835) writes that he would very much like to own a distilling apparatus which has such amazing features, as fuel has become scarce and costly.Binding slightly rubbed along the extremities; a very good copy.l Anet (1 copy); Daems & Vandewiele, p. 108; WorldCat (5 copies); Vandewiele, "Nota's betreffende ‘Sr. Petrus van Baveghem. vrijen meester apothecaris’ te Gent", in: Kring voor de Geschiedenis van de Pharmacie in Benelux, Bulletin VI (1953), pp. 1-13; not in STCV.

BAYARD, Émile.

[Proof impressions of illustrations for Alphonse Daudet's Fromont jeune et Risler aîné]. [Paris, 1885]. Folio (35 x 29 cm). Proofs of 12 engraved plates in many different states, giving 73 prints in total, engraved by Jules Massard and Eugène Abot after Emilé Bayard (image size 10.7 x 7.3 cm; plate size 19 x 14 cm). Contemporary half goatskin morocco.

An extensive collection of proof impressions of all 12 illustrations drawn by Émile Bayard (1837-1891) and engraved by Jules Massard (1848?-1891?) and Eugène Michel Joseph Abot (1836-1894) for the 1885 edition of Alphonse Daudet's Fromont jeune et Risler aîné. Moeurs parisiennes. This novel, first published in 1874 was a great critical and popular success, quickly making Daudet's name famous. As a result it went through many editions, some luxuriously illustrated. The definitive illustrations were published by Louis Conquet in Paris in 1885 in a limited edition (500 copies) of the novel with the present twelve masterly plates "gravées à l'eau-forte" after Bayard. The present set has 4 to 8 impressions of each plate, most or all in 4 or more states. All have the engraved signature of the artist in the image area, but only two have any further engraved text. The first proof of the first plate has "E. Abot aqua f d'après E. Bayard" and the last proof of the same plate has "Jules Massard. sc.", both in the plate below the image. The engraving is usually credited to Massard, but it would appear from this early proof that Abot began the work and Massard finished it. The last proof of the eleventh plate has the pencilled initials of the artist, "E. B." below the image, apparently in his own hand.One example of one print is on wove paper, mounted on the leaf of the book, but all others are printed directly on the leaves. Their laid paper is watermarked "MBM" for Morel, Bercious and Masure, who developed machines for the Canson paper mill to make this so-called "mould-made" paper for the artist Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres in 1883. In very good condition, one plate with extensive foxing and a few others with very minor foxing. The marbled-paper sides of the binding are rubbed.
