Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of swimming and the development of author's unique and innovative life-saving technique, the swim-jacket. The author begins by discussing the history of swimming and the development of various swimming aids, from ancient times to the present day. The author then describes the development of his swim-jacket, which is made of lightweight cork and is designed to keep the wearer afloat even in rough waters. The swim-jacket was inspired by the author's research on the ability of certain animals, such as ducks and geese, to float on water. The author believes that his swim-jacket could help to save lives in the event of a shipwreck or other water-related accident. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

First Edition
Couverture rigide. Condition: Très bon. Edition originale. in 12, de 2ff. 70pp., joli front. gravé, pl. cuir de Russie Lavallière XIXe, dos orné, encadr. d'un triple filet doré sur les plats, dentelle int., Bel exemplaire (ex-libris successifs A. Kuhnholtz-Lordat, et Comte Chandon de Briailles). Edition originale de cet ouvrage novateur. Bien qu'il s'agisse aussi de natation, l'intérêt de ce livre réside en l'invention par l'auteur d'un gilet de sauvetage en liège pour les soldats et les marins. Bachstrom né en Pologne en 1688 et mort en Biélorussie en 1742, fut à la fois théologien luthérien, professeur de lycée et imprimeur. En 1729 il est à Constantinople comme imprimeur entreprenant de traduire le Bible en turc. Puis il se réfugie à Leyde et publie un traité novateur sur le scorbut en 1734 dans lequel il écrit:« le scorbut est uniquement dû à une abstinence totale de nourriture végétale fraîche et de légumes verts ; qui est la seule cause principale de la maladie. » . Son invention d'un gilet de sauvetage en liège passa inaperçue, pourtant Sylvain Coindet dans Le sauvetage en mer à la pointe de la Bretagne au XVIIIe siècle (Univ. de Bretagne, 2019) déclare :"(Il est) . constaté pour l?Ancien Régime, une absence de titres traitant du sauvetage à deux exceptions près. L?une d?elles, un traité scientifique présentant un gilet de sauvetage en liège datant de 1741, ne trouve semble-t-il aucune application à bord des navires ! L?auteur (Bachstrom) ne manque pourtant pas d?insister sur le double intérêt de l?invention qu?il s?attribue et que l?on retrouve dans le sous-titre de son traité : Invention à l?aide laquelle on peut toujours se sauver du Naufrage ; et en cas de besoin, faire passer les plus larges rivières à des Armées entières." Une rareté !

(15 x 10 cm). (4) 70 S. Mit gestochenem Frontispiz. Halbpergamentband des 19. Jahrhunderts. Erste Ausgabe; eine deutsche Ausgabe erschien ein Jahr später. - Der polnisch-litauische Mediziner Bachstrom (1686-1742), Generaldirektor der Fabriken der Herzogin von Radziwill, war sehr an technischen und naturwissenschaftlichen Dingen interessiert. In vorliegendem Werk stellt er die von ihm entwickelte Schwimmweste vor, mit der sich Flüsse durchqueren lassen und die für militärische Aktionen eingesetzt werden kann, deren Hauptzweck aber die Rettung Schiffbrüchiger ist. Bachstrom ist der Erste, der die Verwendung von Kork zur Herstellung von Schwimmwesten beschreibt. - Das hübsche Frontispiz zeigt Seeleute, die sich mit Hilfe seiner Schwimmweste von einem sinkenden Segelschiff retten. - Oberer Rand teils etwas knapp beschnitten. Rückenschild mit kleiner Fehlstelle, sonst wohlerhalten. - NDB I, 503.
