Two items of ephemera have been laid in--one is a product flyer on Accurate Smokeless Powders, and one on Data for Accurate 2015br. The Accurate 2015br news release was addressed to John Lyman, The Tarheel Gunner who was a noted naval and arms authority. Smokeless powder is the name given to a number of propellants used in firearms and artillery that produce negligible smoke when fired, unlike the gunpowder or black powder they replaced. The term is unique to the United States and is generally not used in other English-speaking countries, which initially used proprietary names such as "Ballistite" and "Cordite" but gradually shifted to "propellant" as the generic term. The basis of the term smokeless is that the combustion products are mainly gaseous, compared to around 55% solid products (mostly potassium carbonate, potassium sulfate, and potassium sulfide) for black powder. Despite its name, smokeless powder is not completely free of smoke; while there may be little noticeable smoke from small-arms ammunition, smoke from artillery fire can be substantial. This article focuses on nitrocellulose formulations, but the term smokeless powder was also used to describe various picrate mixtures with nitrate, chlorate, or dichromate oxidizers during the late 19th century, before the advantages of nitrocellulose became evident. Since the 14th century gunpowder was not actually a physical "powder", and smokeless powder can be produced only as a pelletized or extruded granular material.[citation needed] Smokeless powder allowed the development of modern semi- and fully automatic firearms and lighter breeches and barrels for artillery. Burnt gunpowder leaves a thick, heavy fouling that is hygroscopic and causes rusting of the barrel. The fouling left by smokeless powder exhibits none of these properties (though some primer compounds can leave hygroscopic salts that have a similar effect; non-corrosive primer compounds were introduced in the 1920s. This makes an autoloading firearm with many moving parts feasible (which would otherwise jam or seize under heavy black powder fouling). Smokeless powders are classified as, typically, division 1.3 explosives under the UN Recommendations on the transportation of Dangerous goods - Model Regulations, regional regulations (such as ADR) and national regulations. However, they are used as solid propellants; in normal use, they undergo deflagration rather than detonation.

First French language edition of the author's eye-witness account of Captain Cook's second voyage to the Cape of Good Hope as part of his circumnavigation in 1772-5. Sparrman (1748-1820),professor of zoology at Uppsala University and an outstanding pupil of Linnaeus, accompanied the voyage as assistant to the naturalists Johann and Georg Forster which is related in the first volume. Most of the work comprises his observations on the flora, fauna and mixed population of the Cape Colony made during expeditions into the interior of the country when working as a doctor in Cape Town. The description of termites and their nests is especially noteworthy. First published in Swedish in 1783, and immediately translated into the major European languages, the book became a bestseller. It is thought to be the most accurate contemporary description of the Cape. The illustrations of the present French edition are considered the best. Du Rietz, Bibl.

Very good condition. Dissected and mounted on linen as issued. Some mended separations in linen not affecting surface of map. Size 21.5 x 29 Inches. This superbly detailed 1844 Dufour map of the municipalities of Brig-Glis and Airolo in the Lepontine Alps of Switzerland, from the first geometrically accurate map of the Swiss Confederation; this example is an 1875 revision of the map. It spans from the canton of Vaud to the canton of Valais. The eastern portion of Lac Léman is shown; much of the map shows the Rotten river valley, or the upper Rhone, showing the cities of Sierre, Sion, and Ridde. The Dufour Map This Brig-Airolo map is sheet 18 of Guillaume Henri Dufour's monumental, twenty-five sheet topographical map of Switzerland. The Dufour map was the first geometrically accurate depiction of the recently formed Swiss confederation . Work was initiated on the 1:100000 topographic map of Switzerland in 1832; the twenty-five sheets - each covering an area of 70 by 48 kilometers - were published serially between 1845 and 1865. An Organizational Feat Dufour oversaw the work of numerous scientists, topographers and engravers in order to achieve this masterpiece. Between 1834 and 1837 geodesist Johannes Eschmann compiled existing cantonal networks to form a 'Triangulation primordiale,' the first modern nationwide triangulation spanning Switzerland from the north to the south; these provided the geodetic reference system which formed the framework for the Dufour Map. Simultaneously, Dufour enlisted a team of surveyors to supply topographic data. In order to organize the efforts of so many - from survey to engraving - Dufour founded the Federal Topographical Bureau in Geneva in 1838. An Astonishing Degree of Precision The surveys were executed at a very high resolution, ranging from 1:50000 in alpine areas to 1:25000 in the Central Plateau, Jura and Southern Ticino areas; these were integrated into Eschmann's framework before surveys could even begin. While Dufour specified that his surveyors should do so 'as accurately as possible' it should be noted that there existed at the time no quantifiable standard for such accuracy to which to refer. In spite of this, analysis of the Dufour maps reveal a mean deviation of only 153 metres - a mere 1.5 millimeters on the map! A Pinnacle of the Engravers' Art After the original surveys were examined, they were then reached to the scale of 1:100,000 for uniformity, then transferred to copperplate, engraved, and printed. The Dufour maps are justifiably held in regard for the quality of their engraving, particularly in the presentation of Switzerland's wildly varied terrain. The maps' beautiful shading resulted in their distinctive three-dimensional effect. During a period in which the mapmaker's art was increasingly moving to lithography, the execution of these maps in copperplate represents a triumph of the cartographic medium dominant from the 16th century on. The map's quality was hailed from its production: the 1875 journal XXXX, reporting the cartographic offerings of that year's Geographical Congress at Paris, set it above the pack: Switzerland, though one of the smallest countries in Europe, nevertheless holds a foremost rank in this exhibition. The large Federal map, produced under the direction of General Dufour, - of whose recent decease we are reminded by the crepe ceiling the Swiss coat-of-arms, - is certainly one of the finest specimens of cartography in a large scale to be seen here. A comparison of it with the Swiss atlas surveyed 1786-1802 by Weiss, a copy of which is exhibited, forcibly brings home to us the great strides which the art of cartography has made since then. Publication History and Census The first sheets of the Dufour map were published in 1845 with the project culminating in 1865; it can be presumed that the individual maps were published in multiple editions in the intervening period. Nevertheless, we see only six examples of this separate sheet in.

Blank on verso. Size 30.5 x 24.5 Inches. This is an 1829 John Crawfurd and John Walker map of Burma (Myanmar). The map, considered the first accurate map of this region, was prepared to illustrate John Crawfurd's Embassy to Ava to negotiate with Burmese King Bagyidaw following the First Anglo-Burmese War (1824 - 1826). A Closer Look Centered on the Irrawaddy Valley, the map depicts from Calcutta to Yunnan Province in China and northern Laos and from Tassisudon to the mouths of the Irrawaddy River and the Gulf of Martaban. Dozens of villages, towns, and cities are labeled all along the Irrawaddy River from Rangoon to Mandalay, in the Irrawaddy Delta, and on the roads from Rungpoor to Bhamo and from Bhamo to Amarapura, but otherwise much is left blank, illustrating how little this region was known to European powers of the early 19th century. First Anglo-Burmese War Bagyidaw, aka Sagaing Min, the seventh king of the Konbaung Dynasty of Burma (1784 - 1846), inherited an empire near its height in terms of both territory and military power. He was unfortunate enough to share a border with British India, which had an interest in expanding its holdings into Burma. The British fostered rebellions in Bagyidaw's border provinces, including Arakan, Manipur, and Assam, all of which had been brought into the fold of Burmese dominion by Bagyidaw's grandfather. When Bagyidaw ordered his troops to peruse rebels into British territory, the war began. With an ill-defined border and rugged mountainous jungle territory, the First Anglo-Burmese War turned out to be one of the longest, most expensive, and bloodiest wars in the history of British India. Nonetheless, it ended decisively for the British, despite throwing British India into a severe economic crisis and ultimately contributing to the demise of the British East India Company's remaining privileges Crawfurd Mission to Ava, 1826 In the aftermath of war, Lord Amherst sent John Crawfurd on an envoy mission to Burma to negotiate terms with the chastised King Bagyidaw. Crawfurd and his party traveled up the Irrawaddy from Rangoon to Ava on the paddle steamer Diana with four support boats. Arriving at the Court of Ava, Crawfurd negotiated a complete surrender of Assam, Manipur, Cachar, Jaintia, Arakan Province, and Tenasserim to British India. The king also conceded to a trade agreement in return for a delay in indemnity payments and later sent his own mission to Calcutta. For the Burmese Empire, it was the beginning of the end. The Third Burmese Empire, for a brief time the terror of British India, was crippled and no longer a threat to the eastern frontier. The Konbaung Dynasty itself went through a sharp decline until, ultimately, all of Burma was under British control. Scientific and Reconnaissance Tour de Force The Crawfurd expedition was forced to delay its return to India so that the shallow-draft riverboats cold be repaired. They used the time to gather intelligence on the region, contributing to this map, as well as collect seven chests of fossils from the riverbank near Magwe, and nearly 18,000 botanical specimens for the Calcutta Botanical Garden. The work led to the discovery of a new species of mastodon, the Stegolophodon. It also provided the first accurate data regarding the interior of Burma, laying the groundwork for further British dominance in the region. Publication History This map was published in 1829 to accompany Journal of an Embassy from the Governor General of India to the Court of Ava by John Crawfurd. It was engraved by John Walker and published in London. It does not appear in all editions of Crawfurd's narrative and there appears to be only one edition.

This rare large-format 1828 map of Southeast Asia, compiled by John Walker to illustrate John Crawfurd's mission to Siam (Thailand), is the first accurate survey of the coasts of Siam. Coverage extends from China to Singapore and from the Gulf of Martaban (Burma) to Vietnam and Hainan. Siam at the time was inaccessible to European merchants and even diplomats, with its coasts and interior largely unknown. This map is an amalgam of European sources, but with regard to Siam, it was derived primarily from secretly acquired early 19th-century Siamese surveys previously unknown to Europeans and, for all intents and purposes, still lost. Historical Context Following the resurgence of the Kingdom of Siam after the Burmese-Siamese War (1765 - 1767), Siam emerged as a major political power and the central state in Southeast Asia. The regional destabilization following Siamese victory led to a power vacuum in Burma, which precipitated a series of further conflicts, both between Siam and Burma and between Burma and Great Britain, lasting well into the early 19th century. The British took advantage of the weak Burmese military to seize additional territory in Assam, Manipur, and Arakan during the First Anglo-Burmese War (1824 - 1826). At the same time, Siam continued to grind away at both Burmese territory to the west and parts of Laos and Cambodia to the east, stopped only by Vietnamese and French forces in Indochina. To the south, Britain exerted a strong influence over the Malay States, leaving only Siam as a fully independent and powerful Southeast Asian state resistant to European influence. The Crawfurd Mission The Scottish linguist, diplomat, doctor, and colonial administrator John Crawfurd (1783 - 1868) was sent to the Kingdom of Siam by the Governor-General of India, Lord Francis Edward Rawdon-Hastings (1754 - 1826). Hastings was interested in evaluating the growing power of Siam, acquiring a reliable reconnaissance of Siamese lands, establishing trade relations, and understanding Siamese policy with regard to both the Malay States to the south (particularly Penang, to which the British had laid claim) and to French attempts to establish a colonial presence in Vietnam. While the mission failed to establish trade relations, evaluate Siamese political positions regarding Penang, or explore the interior, Crawfurd did collect cartographic materials detailing the coast, much of which John Walker compiled into this map. The 'Mohammedan Mariner' In the appendix to Crawfurd's Journal of an Embassy from the Governor-General of India to the Courts of Siam and Cochin-China , he lists the sources of this remarkable map. Many are new surveys conducted en route , earlier British surveys of the Malay States and Bengal, and French sources for Indochina, but the bulk of the map as it relates to Siam is based upon cartography passed clandestinely to Crawfurd by a Siamese Muslim navigator. To quote Crawfurd, From the Cape of Patani to the point of Kwiis taken from a Mohammedan mariner, a native of Siam, possessed of considerable intelligence-who was acquainted with the use of maps and the quarterstaff, and could even take an altitude of the sun with our quadrants. he goes on to describe how this same mariner, in fear of his life, divulged less and less information the closer the came to Siam, .a great deal of useful information . as we approached Siam they became much more shy and reserved, and now communicated nothing without a strict injunction to secrecy. They constantly resisted our solicitations to assist in translating the Governor-general's letter into Siamese, observing that the communication of his Majesty's titles would be considered as the divulgement of a state secret, which might cost them their lives.

A seminal production, this is Guillaume Delisle's 1721 map of the Caspian Sea according to the surveys of Van Verden and S. I Soimonov. It is the first printed map of the Caspian Sea based upon actual survey work. Although other cartographers also copied the work of Van Verden and Soimonov, Delisle was the first, and his mapping is the finest and truest to the original manuscript. The First Accurate European Map of the Caspian Sea Around 1718 Russian Tzar Peter the Great sponsored a number of cartographic expeditions to the farthest reaches of his vast empire. One such was a command to map the Caspian Sea given to Dutch navigator Carl Van Verden. Though well-known since antiquity, the world's largest lake was largely ignored by surveyors until Van Verden's work in the early 18th century. By charging Van Verden with the mapping of the Caspian, Peter the Great hoped to lay the foundations for further expansion into Central Asia, Persia, and eventually India. Van Verden created the most advanced mapping of the Caspian Sea to date, offering a new perspective on the region and opening the navigational possibility of the world's largest lake. Delisle Presents New Information to the World In 1721 Peter presented the Paris Académie Royale des Sciences with a copy of S. I. Soimonov and Carl Van Verden's map of the Caspian region. Without further delay, Delisle redrew the map (with great care), translated the inscriptions into French and printed it on separate sheets in reduced size in the Travaux of the Academy. He also included the map in his Atlas. In this way, the exact outline of the Caspian Sea, drawn on the Russian map of 1720, first appeared in a map prepared in western Europe. In 1723, G. Delisle returned anew to the map of Verden and Soimonov and transposed from it the correct outline of 'Caspia' to the map which he was preparing. This can be seen by the outline of Verden and Soimonov on their map of 1720. This point is confirmed by the caption on the map of 1723 which describes it as 'dressée pour l'usage du Roi (Louis XIV) sur la carte de cette mer faite par l'ordre du Czar (Peter I)'. The fact that Delisle used a map with Russian names becomes clear from the inscriptions on the map of 1723. 'Dua Brata ou Les Deux Freres','Ostrov Giloi-Isle Habite', 'Ostrov Svinoi ou Isle des Cochons', 'Krasnie Vodi ou Les Eaux Rouges', and others. The map proper is surrounded by eight inset maps detail various gulfs, bays, ports, and rivers. The upper sheet has two large cartouches, the left bearing the title and dedication to Van Verden and the right a description of the map. The right-hand cartouche also features two dragons. Publication History and Census This map was originally prepared for publication in the Académie Royale des Sciences journal Bibliographie Générale des Travaux Historiques , but it was also simultaneously issued independently and in various Delisle atlases. It is well represented in institutional collections. References: Rumsey 4764.082, 4764.081, 4764.083. Allen, W. E. D., 'The sources for G.
