VERY RARE

1885-97 45 00

This work, probably the most popular of its kind ever published, became scarce in the ordinary course of things, but since a considerable number of copies were destroyed in the disastrous fire at the workshops of Messrs. Rivière and Son, copies are now almost impossible to obtain.

"Lord Lilford's work only requires to be known to have as many admirers as there are lovers of birds, and as many subscribers as can afford it."-Sir Herbert Maxwell, Bart., M.P.

"I am delighted with the Coloured Figures of the Birds of the British Islands,' issued by Lord Lilford, and know of no plates so good as those to be found in that work."-H. Stacy Marks, R.A., F.Z.S.

The BIRDS of CELEBES and

the Neighbouring Islands. 2 vols., roy. 4to., with 42 coloured, and 3
plain, plates, and maps; sd.

Berlin, 1898

This work is a history of the Birds of Celebes and the surrounding islands, such
as Talaut, Sangi, Sula, Togian, Saleyer, and geographically it adjoins and forms a
western continuation of Count Salvadori's famous Ornitologia della Papuasia e delle
Molucche. A series of maps illustrates the geographical distribution of certain genera,
the meteorological conditions of the archipelago, etc. Not only the rich collections
from the localities in question in the Dresden Museum, but also the fresh ornithological
results of the travels of Drs. P. and F. Sarasin and of others, have been at the
disposal of the authors, so that they have been able to give a fairly complete picture
of the avifauna of this province, upon which they were at work for four years.
Attention has been paid to the affinities of the species, local races, habits and, where
possible, migration, local wanderings, and questions of variations and geographical
distribution.

The author of this rare and curious work (which was burnt at Nantes by the Public
Executioner) was, according to Leibnitz, the famous Capucin Father, Yves de Paris.
This original edition, which was printed at the expense of the Marquis d'Asserat, is
much sought after by the curious, as in the reprint the predictions respecting Europe,
the sole cause of the work being condemned to the flames, were entirely omitted.
Amongst the predictions to England are, in 1666, "Magna Calamitas" (the year of the
Great Fire of London); in 1691, "Magna Reipublicæ turbatio" (General Ginkel's Wars
in Ireland); in 1705, "Adversa Omnia" ( a mistake, witness the successes of the Duke
of Marlborough and Earl of Peterborough); in 1756, "Minatur maximum Excidium"
(War declared against France).

1164 GILBERT (William) of Colchester, Physician of London, on the LOAD-
STONE and MAGNETIC BODIES, and on the great magnet of the
Earth. A new physiology demonstrated with many arguments and
experiments. A translation by P. FLEURY MOTTELAY. 8vo., with
portrait, figures, and numerous facsimiles, cloth

New York and London, 1893

The translation De Magnete has been a task of no ordinary difficulty; it has bronght up problems innumerable, the solution of which has involved much laborious researchas the result was meant to be a clear and competent presentation of the author in idiomatic English, and not merely a substitution of English words for Latin. Nor would I have ventured to appear as the English interpreter of the great Gilbert, "father of the Magnetic philosophy," but for the hearty encouragement and very material aid, in translating and otherwise, extended by many literary and scientific friends, amongst whom must be especially mentioned Mr. Joseph Fitzgerald, Mr. E. McMillan, Mr. Joseph Wetzler, Dr. Joseph V. Livingstone, Hon. Park Benjamin, and Prof. Alfred H. Mayer. I am likewise indebted to Prof. Chas. Sanders Pierce, to Mr. Latimer Clark, F.R.S., to Dr. Isaac H. Hall, and to Dr. Charlton T. Lewis for valuable suggestions as to the general treatment of the work; and, in the word of the celebrated mathematician, Edward Wright, I doubt not that our united efforts "will find the heartiest approval among all intellectual men and children of the magnetic science."

"The year 1600," observes the English historian Henry Hallam, "was the first in which England produced a remarkable work in Physical Science; but this was one sufficient to raise a lasting reputation for its author. Gilbert, a physician, in his treatise ou the Magnet, not only collected all the knowledge which others possessed on the subject, but became at once the father of experimental philosophy in this island; and, by a singular felicity and acuteness of genius, the founder of theories, which have been revived after a lapse of ages, and are almost received into the creed of Science. . . Gilbert was one of the earliest Copernicans-at least as to the rotation of the earthand, with his usual sagacity, inferred, before the invention of the telescope, that there are a multitude of fixed stars beyond the reach of our vision."

While Dr. Whewell observes that "Gilbert's work contains all the fundamental facts of the science, so fully examined, indeed, that even at this day we have very little to add to them," Dr. Thomas Thomson says that De Magnete "is one of the finest examples of inductive philosophy that has ever been presented to the world." Poggendorff, from whose "Geschichte der Physik" (page 286) this is extracted, calls Gilbert "the Galileo of Magnetism." By Dr. Priestley he was named "the father of modern electricity."

In an article written not long since, Mr. Conrad W. Cooke, of London, notes the high opinion of Gilbert's work entertained-more particularly by Nathaniel Carpenter, William Barlowe, Francis Bacon, Galileo, and Humboldt, and he adds: "There is abundant testimony extant that this De Magnete of Gilbert's produced a profound sensation, not only in this country but throughout the then civilized world; and it is a singularly curious fact that the brilliancy of a reputation so great and so original should have been allowed in subsequent generations to have been lost sight of."-Preface. 1165 GORDON (J.
