Picart & Bernard’s Religious Ceremonies of the WorldFirst English edition, 1733-37
The dedication of the Synagogue of the Portuguese (Sephardic)
6 PICART, Bernard The ceremonies and religious customs of the various nations of the known world. London, William Jackson, 1733-1737. Folio. 7 in 6 vols. All title pages printed in red and black. Numerous engravings head and tailpieces and initials, and 243 plates. Contemporary calf, spine elaborately gilt with double giltstamped red labels. A perfectly preserved tall paper copy of this beautifully illustrated ethnographic work on the world's religions. Bindings a little rubbed, two vols, lighly restaurationin gilt, in otherwise an excellent and unusually wide-margined complete copy in uniform bindings with elaborately gilt spines. Just as influential as the text, Picart’s engravings were small masterpieces, drawn from life wherever possible and otherwise taken respectfully from the most authentic sources. “He insisted on capturing every detail of dress and ceremonial disposition. This level of accuracy was essential to the credibility of comparisons between religious practices that were developed in the text” (Hunt p. 147). At the same time, the engraver “constantly strove to make foreign deities, practices or processions more palatable to European viewers while still remaining true to the sources. He achieved this effect in various ways: “by putting unfamiliar deities on classical pedestals, by excluding the scenes of greatest violence depicted by his predecessors, by promoting a sense of identification with those depicted, and ultimately, by setting up subtle comparisons between Western and non-Western, civilized and savage, or Christian and pagan rituals” (Hunt p. 150).
Volumes three and four are dedicates to “ceremonies of the idolatraous nations” with a large section focusing on NATIVE AMERICAN INDIANS:
Native peoples of Canada, Virginia, Florida, Hispaniola, Mexico, Venezuela, the Caribbean, etc.Ref: Cf. L. Hunt, The Book That Changed Europe: Picart & Bernard's Religious Ceremonies Of The World (Harvard UP, 2010)

“Important for containing the evidence, as embodied in the correspondence between Leibnitz and Jean Bernoulli, on the questions of the rival claims to superiority in the invention of the calculus between Newton and Leibnitz” states Babson. “It was the only serious claim published in Leibnitz’s favour and a tardy answer to the Commercium Epistolicum, which gave the evidence in Newtons’s favour” Nevertheless, as Babson adds, Leibnitz’s notation was undoubtedly superior to Newton’s fluxional one.

10 ACOSTA, Joseph de.- Historia natural y moral de las Indias, en que se tratan las cosas notables del c ie lo, elementos, metales, plantas y animales de e!as; y los ritos, ceremonias, leyes, gobierno y guerras de los Indios... Dala a luz en esta sexta edicion. Madrid , por Pantaleon Aznar) 1792.8o. (11). 1-306 (correctly 310, (12), 1-252 pp. Contemporary brown mottled calf, somewhat worn, gilt spines, S ignature on f i r s t endpaper. 2 volumes. José de Acosta (1539 or 1540-1600), sixteenth-century Spanish Jesuit missionary and naturalist in Latin America. It is chiefly the Historia natural y moral, first published in 1590, that has estab l i shed the reputation of Acosta, as this was one
of the very first detailed and realistic descriptions of the New World. In a form more concise than that employed by his predecessors, Francisco Lopez de Gómara and Oviedo, he treated the natural and philosophic history of the New World from a broader point of view. In it, more than a century before other Europeans learned of the Bering Strait, Acosta hypothesized that Latin America's indigenous peoples had migrated from Asia. He also divided them into three barbarian categories. The Historia also described Inca and Aztec customs and history, as well as other information such as winds and tides, lakes, rivers, plants, animals, and mineral resources in the New World.

Treaty of Paris of 1763, which ended the French and IndianWar,
and awarded to Great Britain dominion over Canada, the Mississippi Va!ey, and Florida, and retained lands west of the Mississippi for Spain

Text of the Peace Treaty signed between Spain and France on the one part, and England on the other, in Paris on 10th February, 1763. By this Treaty, France ceded to Britain the whole of Canada, with Nova Scotia, the island of Cape Breton, and all other islands in the Gulf and River of St. Lawrence, “without restriction, and precluding the possibility of any lawful claim being made, on any pretext, against this cession and guarantee; neither shall Great Britain be disturbed in the above-mentioned possessions.” England also agreed to grant religious freedom to the French Catholics in Canada; certain rights to fishing in the Gulf of St. Lawrence; and ceded to France the islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon for the convenience of French fishermen.
Moreover, the Mississippi was named as the boundary line dividing English and French territory in America; the line was to be drawn in the centre of the river, from its source to the Iberville, and from there across the lakes Maurepas and Pontchartrain to the sea; “and to this end, the Most Christian King [Louis XV] cedes to His Britannic Majesty the River and Port of Mobile and all that he possesses or should have possessed to the left of the Mississippi, with the exception of the city and island of New Orleans which shall remain French”; the navigation on the Mississippi being equally open to English and French subjects.
By th i s Treaty, a l so , Britain restored to Spain a l l that had been conquered on the Island of Cuba, including the Garrison at Havana. The treaty set the stage for the struggle between Great Britain and Spain over control of the Pacific Northwest, which played out dramatically some 25 years later in the Nootka Incident. Sabin 96553.

4,000$Folio. Engraved Plate "Con aiuda de costa la esculpió Navarro en Mexº. 1769" Apparently this is the only known copy of this imprint. As Roberto Moreno states in his edition of José Ignacio Bartolache. Mercurio volante (1772-1773) (México, Universidad Autónoma de México 1993), p. ‘no conocemos ningún ejemplar’. It is only known through a inexact reproduction done in 1831 for a Mexican periodical, Gacetas de literatura de Mexico.
José Ignacio Bartolache (1739-1789). Described by Osores as “uno de los ingenios más laboriosos de los útimos tiempos” (see Medina, Mexico 5286) was a Mexican mathematician and doctor of wide literary and scientific interests who published a scientific journal, Mercurio Volante. In 1769 , together with his colleague Antonio Alzate he was asked by the Lord Mayor of the city of Mexico to take measurements of the passage of Venus over the city town hall. Their measurements were published in the Royal Academy of Science of Paris. Also present at the event was Antonio de León y Gama, the celebrated scholar of Aztec astronomy. Very rare.

Ángel Laborde y Navarro (Cádiz, 2 de agosto de 1772 - La Habana, 4 de abril de 1834) was a military and naval officer, jefe de escuadra of the Real Armada Española. Laborde was in command of the Spanish fleet that was sent from Cuba to break the blockade of Puerto Cabello in Venezuela but on the 24th July 1823 he was defeated in the Gulf de Maracaibo by the navy of the insurgents. This defeat is regarded as having accelerated the outcome of the war with the Spanish leaving Venezuela for good just a few weeks later. The accompanying documents contain letters, budgets for operations, details of salaries etc.

Extremely rare Railroad, Post Route and Telegraph Map of Mexico, published by the Bureau of the American Republics.The map pro v ides perhaps the s ing le most comprehensive treatment of Mexican Railroad, Post and Telegraph lines (including those extending into the US) available at the end of the 19th Century. The Bulletin of the American Geographical Society, Volume 38 , 1906, notes as follows:
A general map of some interest is that entitled Carta de Comunicaciones de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos, on the scale of 1:1,000,000, or 15.8 m. = 1 in., compiled by Colonel Bodo von Glumer and published in 1895-6 by the Secretaria de Estado. It corresponds to our U. S. post-route maps, and shows mail routes and telegraph and telephone lines.In Volume 9 of the Monthly Bulletin of the Bureau of the American Republics, July-December 1900, the following description of a map being prepared by the Bureau appears, which includes reference to our map .
The Bureau of the American Republics will shortly publish a map of the United Mexican States, compiled from official and other sources, and giving information only found scattered about in a number of special maps not accessible to the general public. The map, which is on a scale of 50 miles to the inch, besides the physical and political geography of Mexico, indicates all the mining districts with the nature of the mines worked, the roadways and railways, telegraph lines, principal areas of culture, and other data of general interest..The map is very rare.
