Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 2nd Edition. Small folio. Engraved allegorical title signed 'C. G. Amling' + [6] + 39 pages text + 14 folding engraved plates with 68 illustrations. Typographical ornaments. Contemporary half vellum. Enlarged edition, corrected by the author (first published 1664), of this influential…German treatise on late baroque military architecture by the Bavarian engineer Heidemann, a follower of Daniel Speckle (1536-89) of Strassburg, one of the first exponents of modern fortification. Heidemann still considered the use of orillons for the protection of the flanks of bastions as essential, a method largely abandoned by that time under the influence of the Dutch systems of fortification. A re-interpretation of his theories was offered by Sturm in his Architectura Militaris hypoth.-eclectico (1702). The beautiful allegorical title by the Bavarian court engraver Carl Gustav von Amling (1651-1702) incorporates a view of Munich in the background. A very fresh copy of this handsome book printed on good quality paper. Jähns 1343; Jordan 1636.

See Image for partial Image of titles listed ordered from Mittler's "Catalogue of Military Books 1823", adding a postscript as follows: "NB I am not anxious to have the Books very soon, and will therefore wait your usual period of important… German Books, if more convenient to you, than ordering the immediately."Note: [Wikipedia] "soldier and military engineer who wrote the defining text on the role of the post-American Revolution British Empire: An Essay on the Military Policy and Institutions of the British Empire, published in 1810. This text changed how Britons thought their empire should relate to the rest of the world. He warned that Britain could not keep its Empire by its "splendid isolation". Britain would need to fight to gain its empire, and by using the colonies as a resource for soldiers and sailors it grew by an average of 100,000 square miles (260,000 km2) per year between the Battle of Waterloo and the American Civil War. Serving in the Royal Engineers in the Napoleonic Wars, he was Europe's leading demolitions expert and siege warfare specialist.".

On two pieces of paper, one roughly 9.5 x 17.5 cm and the other 2.5 x 13.5 cm, laid down on a piece of grey card. Note on card in a nineteenth-century hand: 'Colonel John Macdonald's writing -'. In fair condition, on aged paper, on good strong card. The notes were apparently intended to accompany a plan, the words 'An Elevation…of' being scored through at the beginning of the heading, as is a five-line passage, beginning 'No 1'. Beneath this deleted passage is a nine-line expanded version of it, beginning: 'No 1 proving insufficient as to strength and light, Mr. Winstanley constructed this Building incorporating the former [.]'. The four-line passage on the smaller piece of paper concerns Smeaton's third lighthouse, constructed 'on the principle of an Oak Tree', and said to have 'now stood firm during 126 years'. (The dating is clearly mistaken, with MacDonald probably calculating from 1698, the date of the completion of Winstanley's lighthouse.).

one-page folio. (horizontal folds, several tears with no loss of text). matted & framed (size of frame: 21.75 x 16 inches; 55.2 x 40.6 cm.). A distinguished military engineer, DesBarres served in the British Army in North America during the Seven Years' War, and participated in the capture of Louisbourg in 1758 and of Quebec in…1759. General James Wolfe used a chart which he prepared of the St. Lawrence River and approaches to Quebec in his assault on the city. From 1763 to 1773 DesBarres surveyed and charted the Atlantic coast from Newfoundland to New York, which resulted in the publication in 1777 of the Atlantic Neptune, a four-volume atlas "which stands as a landmark in Canadian cartographic achievement" (R.J.Morgan, DCB, VI pp. 196) and is considered to be the most important atlas of North America published in the eighteenth century. He went on to become the first Lieutenant Governor of Cape Breton, 1784-87, the founder of Sydney, and the Lieutenant Governor of Prince Edward Island, 1804-12. He faced considerable opposition to his administration in both colonies and with the home government and in each instance was recalled to England. The present document is dated just one month before his recall from Prince Edward Island in August of 1812. In it DesBarres reprimands the Grand Jury for overstepping the bounds of their authority although he says he is willing to attribute their statements to "good intentions in an infant colony language which under other circumstances might be very differently received.".

8vo. 2 pp. on bifolium. In French. Interesting letter to general Jean-Jacques Germain Pelet-Clozeau in Paris, concerning Dufour's Topographic Map of Switzerland. The letter was to announce the delivery of "a case containing three sheets of the Map of Switzerland", adding to those that Dufour had previously sent. Frustrated about… the slow progress of the cartographic project due to the "exiguity of our financial ressources", Dufour expresses his fear that he might "not see the end" of it, which was ultimately unfounded. - In the second part of the letter, Dufour mentions a visit by his daughter, the painter Anne Octavie l'Hardy-Dufour, to Paris, where she had been saddened not to meet Pelet in the house of mutual friends. - Dufour founded the Topographical Bureau in 1838 and started the project for a geometrically accurate representation of Switzerland. The famous Dufour Map was published between 1845 and 1864 and is considered to be a turning point of modern cartography. - Jean-Jacques Germain Pelet-Clozeau (1777-1858) occupied a similar position within the French army as did Dufour in Switzerland. Serving as director of the Dépôt de la Guerre from 1830, Pelet-Clozeau was responsible for the continuous production of the so-called "carte d'état-major" of France that had been officially started in 1827 and was finished in 1880. - With an old collector's ink note "Dufour". Minimally creased.

8vo. 1 page on bifolium. To the educator Edmund August Gouzy (born 1831), whom he sends a low-quality photograph for want of a better one, and communicates his and his family's regards to colonel David Zimmerli, who served under his command as a member of the Swiss Confederation's General Staff during the Sonderbund War of 1847:… "Voici la photographie que je vous ai promise. Je voudrais qu'elle fut meilleure, mais, n'en ayant pas d'autre, j'ai dû vous l'envoyer telle qu'elle. Je vous prie de me rappeler au bon souvenir de l'excellent Colonel Zimmerli et de ces dames qui ont laissé dans ma famille un bien agréable souvenir [.]". - A small marginal tear. The photograph is not enclosed.
