BOUTENS, P.C..- SONNETTEN.- Opdrachtexemplaar [door?] van Duijvenbode

Sonnetten.

Amsterdam, Bij P.N. van Kampen & Zoon, 1920. 4to. [15.5 x 21. 5 cm. In oorspronkelijke papieren omslag, voorzijde en rug bedrukt. (38 bladen). (Beperkte oplage van 15 exx.). Zeldzaam 'opdrachtexemplaar'. Eén van de 15 exemplaren op Hollands geschept papier. Dit is nr. 13. Opdrachtexemplaar van de auteur aan zijn levensgezel Cor van Duijvenbode?: Zeker in de hand van Boutens is: 'No 13 P.C. Boutens' [in een bruinachtige tint inkt, duidelijk de 'oplage' signering] & 'voor mijn Vriend C van Duijvenbode' [in een zwarter tint inkt', de privé opdracht, waarschijnlijk door Van Duijvenbode zelf geschreven]. Het verhaal gaat dat 'Broer Cor' na de dood van Boutens een aantal zeldzame items onder zijn hoede nam en [mogelijk] voorzag van opdrachten in inkt in zijn eigen hand. Dit doet niets af aan de zeldzaamheid van deze uitgave, maar voegt zelfs iets van mysterie toe aan het hoofdstuk betreffende Boutens' 'Huisknecht' en levensgezel, inzake de nalatenschap.

He proved that ice has a smaller specific gravity than water and that it must therefore expand on freezing. The work is noteworthy also for a large number of physiological observations ... he was aware that extreme cold prevented the putrefaction of animial tissues, and realized that cold could be utilized for the preservation of meat.': Wing B3997: The second edition being equally important as the first 8vo edition of 1665 [of which many copies were destroyed in the Great Fire of London). The 29 pp. at the end contain Boyle's notes of the effects of cold on the [Hudson Bay Company's ] Captains and officers in cold climates, Boyle became an adventurer in this company in 1675 in order to collect this information. Boyle's publication is a milestones in the history of chemistry, since it uses a quantitative tool [a graduated thermometer] to study the interactions and chemical substances and mixtures. Boyle gives accounts of 2 kinds of death from the cold and many observations on the action of cold on different substances: Neville, vol. I, pp. 202 - 203: Partington vol. II, pp. 509 - 510:

Voyage de l'Ambassade de la Compagnie des Indes Orientales Hollandaises, vers l'Empereur de la Chine, en 1794 et 1795; Où se trouve la description de plusieurs parties de cet Empire inconnues aux Européens; Tiré du Journal d'André Everard Van Braam-Houckgeest, Chef de la Direction de cette Compagnie, et Second dans l'Ambassade. Publié par M.L.E. Moreau de Saint Méry. Tome Premier [Tome Second].

Paris, Chez Garnery, Libraire, rue Serpente, n. 17. A Strasbourg, chez Levrault, Libraire, 1798. An 6 De La République [1798]. 8vo. [150 x 80 mm]. In 2 vols. In the contemporary lightcolored paper covers, spine material partially gone, but 70% preserved. Vol. I: [n2, a8,b8, A-Y8]. (IV, XXXII, 1-351), I (blank) pp. Vol. 2: [n2, A-R8, S7 (without S8 blank)]. (IV, 286 pp.). (Uncut copy; nice wide blank margins.). (In vol. 2, leaf Q1 a corner missing, w. loss of 2 or 3 words.). Very nice original condition, text on good quality paper. As is well known the original edition of Braam Houckgeest narrative of the Embassy of the Dutch to the Emperor of China, an Embassy which was led by the famous Dutch physician, philosopher, orientalist, collector and VOC 'Opperhoofd' Isaac Titsingh was published in Philadelphia in 2 vols. in the years 1797-1798 [we draw your attention to the publications of Dr. Frank Lequin, who has been studying the life and achievements of Titsingh for 30 years, resulting in a number of excellent books: I. Isaac Titsingh (1745 - 1812) [the biography]. 2. A la recherche du Cabinet Titsingh. [the art collection] 3. Isaac Titsingh in China. [the Embassy Journal]. 4. The VOC personnel.

Het onuitgegeven Journaal van zijn Ambassade naar Peking, i.l.c.: Titsingh's Journal, published for the first time in 2005, is based on an autograph discovered by Frank Lequin in 1989 in the Centre d'Archives d'Outre Mer, in combination with the author's corrected copy from the University Library in Leiden. The Titsingh Journal is of the utmost importance because it provides the view of the first in command during the embassy to Emperor Qianlong. Braam van Houckgeest was second in command and would assume command in the event of Titisingh's death. Braam's original 2 volume Philadelphia account, which is very rare, is an important source for the knowledge we have of China at the close of the eighteenth century. With Titsingh as Envoy, Braam van Houckgeest as vice envoy, a third member of the Embassy was the frenchman De Guignes Jr. He also wrote an account of the embassy which was published in 1808, accompanied by an extremely rare and beautiful atlas. It is important to notice that the 2 vol. pirate edition here offered, published by Garnery in Paris in 1798, contains material from the first volume only of the original edition [Philadelphia 1797 -98], describing the journal to Peking from April 2, 1794 to April 4, 1795.: Loehr, G., Braam van Houckgeest, the first American at the court of China.
