Book
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. This a Facsimile reprint of this ancient mining work first published in 1670 , by Sir John Pettus who was the Deputy governor of the Royal Mines. Exceedingly scarce. This facsimile edition gives no information on when or where it was produced. On the base of the spine is IMM which I assume is some sort of mining organization but gives no date ( Iwould guess late 70's) and no place of publication. Book is fine except for a blind stamp of former owner used on title page.

Condition: Good. Small quarto 19th cent. half morocco with cloth sides, spine directly gilt lettered (edges rather worn, cloth bit marked but neat & tight), nicely marbled end-papers. Title leaf +[6]pp +72, 75-87, [1], 88-89, 89-188 +[2]pp index, text continuous in spite of jumping pagination, lacks final blank leaf but otherwise collated complete. Gathering F has pages bound in wrong order and partially over-printed, making text hard to read. Patent Office Library light blue stamps with royal coat of arms (7 mostly to prelims/at end + on back of title where also Sion College Library stamp with cancel), some light browning, pages else crisp and clean. *Pettus was a royalist and Fellow of the Royal Society who lived at Cheston Hall in Suffolk. In dedicating this Story of Adam and Eve to his friend and neighbour Leister Devereux, he explains that he borrowed his extravagant way of writing from Montagne: "for I have observ'd in the Countrey, that when I forsook the path, which would have guided me to the place I design'd, and cross'd the Pastures, sometimes I started Hares, sometimes sprang Partridges, or observ'd some curious Plants; which pleasures I had never injoy'd if I had confin'd my self to the path, yet I kept my Eye on it, and . inrich't my thoughts, with the Contemplations of what happen'd by my digressions". After publication of this book in 1674 he rendered valuable service in the Dutch war, but having lost more than £20,000 in the royal cause, was several times imprisoned for debt (DNB, WING P1912, ESTC R7891). 1 volume. Hardcover.

First Edition
Leatherbound. Condition: Very good. First edition. [44], 345, [1], [8], 133 p. 36.5 cm. 43 engravings, 41 in first part and 2 in second. Full leather. Rebacked with repaired edges and corners. New endpapers. Frontispiece portrait missing. Repairs to title and dedicatory. Title continues: "In Two Parts. The First contains Assays of Lazarus Erckern, Chief Prover (or Assay-Master General of the Empire of Germany) in V. Books: originally written by him in the Teutonick Language, and now translated into English. The Second contains Essays on Metallick Words, as a Dictionary to many pleasing Discourses." The earliest illustrated work on metallurgy in English. The first part is Pettus' translation of Lazarus Ercker's work on mining and metals. Ercker (1530-1594), Inspector General of Mines in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, who first published his study in 1574, discusses lab procedures, equipment and how to construct furnaces. Sir John Pettus of Suffolk, Kt. of the Society for the Mines Royal (1613-1690) was deputy Governor of the royal mines for over 35 years. His lexicography of metals is the first dictionary of metalurgy and metals in English. Pettus fell into debt and finished this work in the Fleet debtors' prison - hence the odd title, Fleta Minor. 43 large engravings illustrate the equipment and procedures being described, with workmen wearing contemporary English costume.

The second part is a dictionary of metallurgical terms compiled by Pettus. Having spent more than £20,000 on the royalist cause during the Civil War, Pettus appears to have been imprisoned for debt several times in later life, and it has been suggested that Fleta Minor was composed in Fleet Prison.

small folio, pp[xiv] 108, 6 [explanation of words], corrigenda leaf. 2 full-page plates, each with descriptive key to the verso. two text illustrations. one or two spots of foxing, but generally clean, with some relevant pencil and ink marginalia. the title-page, with an old repaired tear, has been trimmed to the ruled border and mounted on slightly later paper. the original frontispiece portrait has been replaced by a 1683 portrait engraved by R. White. In a, probably 18thcentury, quarter calf binding, rubbed, but with no damage. a 19th-century note to a preliminary blank provides the interesting, though as far as I can see, irrelevant information that this copy belonged to Francis Barlow, one of the Masters of Lunacy. On the the opposite blank has been pasted a printed page that relates to mining legislation, taken from a 1694 volume of parliamentary acts [please see our storefront page for shipping information].
