(39 × 24,5 cm). 28 S. Mit 3 mehrfach gefalteten Kupfertafeln. Pappband der Zeit. Einzige deutsche Ausgabe dieses seltenen Werkes. Mit einem vierseitigen Auszug aus dem Gutachten des Generalinspekteurs des niederländischen Deichwesens, Christian Brünings, der hier Redelijkheids Rad weit über alle ihm bekannten Sandbagger stellt, allerdings ohne dessen unmittelbare Vorläufer zu kennen. - Der niederländische Wasserbauingenieur Redelijkheid (1728-1787) gilt als Erfinder einer Schiebeschleuse und eines Radbaggers mit einem doppelten Schöpfrad, dessen Durchmesser 42 Fuß (ca. 14 m) beträgt und mit 32 Schaufeln (mit eisernen Schneidekanten) ausgestattet ist. Man kann damit bis zu einer Tiefe von 21 Schuh (ca. 7 m) baggern. Obwohl Redelykheid Anleihen bei seinen Vorgängern, u.a. bei Peltier, Hunrichs und Knutberg nimmt, weist sein Bagger doch zahlreiche technische Einzelheiten auf, die er selbst erfunden hat und die ihn zu einem hervorragenden Ingenieur machen. Auch wenn Redelijkheids vorgestellte Maschine noch durch Menschenkraft angetrieben wird, wirkt ihre Konstruktion doch wesentlich fortschrittlicher als alle bisherigen Bagger. - Vorsätze mit Stempel eines Ingenieurbüros. Rücken sorgsam erneuert, sonst nahezu fleckenfrei und wohlerhalten. - VD18 14691884; Engelmann, Bibl. mech.-techn. S. 298.

Rare first and only edition, luxuriously executed and printed for the author, of a treatise on fortification by the Dutch engineer Cornelis Redelykheid (1728-1787). It centres on methods to improve the masonry and composition of strongholds against hostile artillery and mines, and on fortifying vaults against the most powerful bombs. The large engraved plates with measured drawings include a large fortification plan and several cross-sections, profiles and elevations, many showing vaults. Although the imprint is undated, the author's dedication is dated from Amsterdam, 1759. The present book seems not to have been a normal commercial production but a private publication of the author, probably printed in a small number of copies.With a library and deaccession stamp on the title-page. With some faint foxing in the margins of the plates, not affecting the illustrations. Very good copy, with generous margins and printed on heavy paper. Binding slightly rubbed along the extremities, front hinge slightly cracked, otherwise in good condition.l Bierens de Haan 3892; Jordan 3069 (2 copies); Sloos, Warfare 8135; STCN (6 copies); for Jan Punt: Scheen, p. 413. Contemporary mottled calf, richly gold-tooled spine with red title-label, gold-tooled boards and board edges, red sprinkled edges. With a rococo title page decoration built up from typographic ornaments, 3 numbered folding engraved plates with 14 numbered figures drawn by the author and executed by Jan Punt and 2 engravings in text, all made for the present edition, 6 different woodcut rococo tailpieces, and headpieces and other decorations built up from typographic ornaments.

The large engraved plates with measured drawings include a large fortification plan and several cross-sections, profiles and elevations, many showing vaults. Although the imprint is undated, the author's dedication is dated from Amsterdam, 1759. Cornelis Redelykheid (1728-post 1787), son of a Rotterdam mason, worked in his father's shop as a young man. He became a capable hydraulic, mechanical and fortification engineer, working for the province of Holland from 1761. The present book seems not to have been a normal commercial production but a private publication of the author, probably printed in a small number of copies.With owner's signature. With minor water stains in an occasional leaf and the foot of one leaf somewhat dirty and tattered, but still in very good condition and with generous margins.

2 works in 1 volume. Two rare first editions, in the original Dutch, containing detailed descriptions and illustrations of two new inventions in hydraulic engineering: a sluice with sliding gates and a dredging machine. They were designed by the accomplished engineer Cornelis Redelykheid (1728-1788), well-known in his time, but often overlooked in modern literature. The descriptions are accompanied by a total of 9 detailed large folding plates. The dredging machine looks especially ingenious.Redelykheid was already working on his sluice with sliding gates in 1772 and a model was built, one fourth its intended size. The model was inspected and tested by the hydraulic engineer Christiaan Brunings (1736-1805), then inspector general of rivers & waterways, who later founded the Dutch water management department now known as "Rijkswaterstaat". Brunings wrote an extensive and positive rapport on the sluice, which led Redelykheid to be awarded with 1,000 gold ducats by the States of Holland. The award enabled the inventor to publish the present two works at his own expense, both including a preface by Brunings. As a grateful gesture Redelykheid presented the present copy to Brunings, with an inscription on each of the two title pages.With library stamp and tiny bookplate. Only some minor thumbing in the margins of a few leaves and the leaves facing the plates slightly discoloured where the leaves overlap the fold of the plates, otherwise in very good condition, text leaves untrimmed, leaving wide margins, and with the plates in very crisp impressions. Binding rubbed, with ends of the spine slightly damaged, but still firm and otherwise good.l Bierens de Haan 3902 & 3900; Sloos, Gewapend met kennis, pp. 208-209; not in Roberts & Trent; for the author: NNBW VIII, cols. 1266-1268.
