'For the reader who has time for only one book on Spain, the work to be recommended above all others is Richard Ford's Gathering from Spain . Few nations have been so fortunate in their interpreters. Ford travelled for years in a land laid waste by war, and his account of misery which bad government brought to a superb people is as valid today as it was when it was published a century ago.'

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. A Sailor-Consul's Work for His Country and for Humanity - Being a Record of the Services of Captain William B. Pauli, R.N., As One of Her Majesty's Consuls in Spain Between the Years 1873-1883 - by C. J. A. Front cover title is: "Memoir of Capt. W.B. Pauli R.N.". Title page notes: "For Private Circulation". No date (circa 1883 as per title, or 1884, with former owner's long ink notation to ffep dated Dec. 9, 1884). The memoir mentions H.M. brig Jumna (Pauli was midshipman in 1848), and that in 1857 Pauli was serving as lieutenant on board H.M. ship Actaeon in China when he jumped overboard & saved a seaman in Hong Kong harbour, which was notorious for sharks. He was given the command of gunboat Haughty, and Captain Pauli was in command of H.M. gunboat Louisa at the bombardment of Sweaborg. Online research reveals that Captain William Berjew Pauli, R.N., commanded HMS Louisa in 1856, and from The London Gazette (May 8, 1874), "the Queen has been graciously pleased to appoint Captain William Berjew Pauli, now British Vice-Consul at Carthagena, to be Her Majesty's Consul in the island of Porto Rico". Another London Gazette (Dec. 20, 1878), notes "the Queen has been graciously pleased to appoint Commander William Berjew Pauli, R.N., now Her Majesty's Consul at Cadiz, to be Her Majesty's Consul in the Phillipine Islands, to reside at Manila". Papers in an archive at Durham University Library reveal that Captain William Pauli was appointed "several vice-consul and consul posts after leaving the Navy, then appointed Consul at Cadiz in 1877, and Consul in the Philippine Islands to reside at Manila in November 1878. Consul at Buenos Ayres from 1881. Died 1884.". In the final four pages of the memoir Pauli gives a short account of H.M. sloop Jumna which was thrown on her beam during a hurricane in 1848. Thin volume. Printed in Great Britain by R. Clay, Sons, and Taylor, Bread Street Hill, London. Bound in publisher's original blue cloth, gilt lettering & blind-stamped border design to front board, spine unlettered, brown endpapers. Slight handling wear, former owner's contemporary ink notation/poem [?] to ffep (quite faint & therefore somewhat illegible), signatures a little tender (but holding), otherwise a nice clean solid hardcover copy. 47pp. Scarce title.

First edition of Barrelier's chief botanical work, his famous "Hortus Mundi", for which he was supported financially by Gaston von Orléans but which he never finished due to illness. The text was destroyed in a fire after his death, but the numerous drawings survived and in 1714, ab. 40 years after Barrelier's death, Antoine de Jussieu published the work with the original plates under the title "Plantae per Galliam.".Jacques Barrelier (1606 - 1673) was a French Dominican, botanist and physician. He undertook extensive travels throughout France, Spain and Italy and spent 25 years in Rome, where he founded the botanical garden of the Saint-Xyste convent. During his time in Rome he worked on his magnum opus, which was later to become his "Plantae per Galliam.", for which he had an enormous amount of engravings made after his numerous drawings of plants. When he returned to Paris in 1672, he had stopped working on his great work, and in 1973 he died of an asthma-attack. The text for the work is destroyed in a fire, but the engravings are saved, which makes it possible for Antoine de Jussieu about 40 years later to publish the work the Barrelier never came to finish himself. Antoine de Jussieu (1686-1758) was out of a prominent French family distinguished for ist excellent botanists. He was a physician who also practiced medicine and devoted much of his time to treating the very poor. He studied at the University of Montpellier, and like Barrelier, he travelled through Spain and Portugal. In 1708 he went to Paris, where he succeeded J.P. de Tournefort at the Jardin des Plantes. His main works are his publication of Barrelier's "Plantae per Galliam." and an edition of Tournefort's "Institutiones rei herbariae", printed in 1719 in three volumes.Barrelier has given name to the flower genus "Barleria", which covers roughly 300 species.Pritzel 423. Nissen I:7-8. (Nissen mentions "334 Kupf. mit 1324 Fig." this, however seems not to omit the last three full-page engravings that are numbered 1325-27). Hunt II,I:432.
