In den Warenkorb8vo. xix, [3], 420 pp. Numerous illustrations, index. WITH ADDED LARGE FOLDING (printer's galley, or author's graphic) GENEALOGICAL TABLE (much larger than the one published in the book, same text, but with a couple of annotations added by the author). Original gilt-stamped black cloth, dust-jacket; jacket rubbed. INSCRIBED BY T…HE AUTHOR, JOHN R. MILLBURN, TO HIS CLOSE FRIEND, COLLEAGUE AND CO-WRITER, "Dr. Henry C. King, With the author's compliments . . . May 2000." Very good. PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR TO HIS FRIEND & WRITING PARTNER, HENRY C. KING. "'G. Adams in Fleet Street London' is the signature on some of the finest scientific instruments of the eighteenth century. This book is the first comprehensive study of the instrument-making business run by the Adams family, from its foundation in 1734 to bankruptcy in 1817. It is based on detailed research in the archival sources as well as examination of extant instruments and publications by George Adams senior and his two sons, George junior and Dudley. Separate chapters are devoted to George senior's family background, his royal connections, and his new globes; George junior's numerous publications, and his dealings with van Marum; and to Dudley's dabbling with 'medico-electrical therapeutics'. The book is richly illustrated with plates from the Adams's own publications and with examples of instruments ranging from unique museum pieces - such as the 'Prince of Wales' microscope - and globes to the more common, even mundane, items of the kind seen in salesrooms and dealers - the surveying, navigational and military instruments that formed the backbone of the business. The appendices include facsimiles of trade catalogues and an annotated short-title listing of the Adams family's publications, which also covers American and Continental editions, as well as the posthumous ones by W. & S. Jones." â" jacket. / 'Millburn has delved profitably into a wide range of sources. Copious illustrations, many of the instruments passing through the Saleroom or in private hands, expand on those usually shown . . . a book well worth waiting for.' Albion 'In a meticulous piece of research sustained over many years, a remarkably coherent picture of the firm's history and the lives of the men behind it has been constructed by John Millburn.' Journal of the American Scientific Instrument Enterprise '. . . the impact of Millburn's work on historiography could go far beyond that of a well contextualized biography . . . this book marks a turning point in the standards necessary to produce a serious historical work on instrument makers. . . his pleasant narrative, and the use of rich and good iconographical resources, make Millburn's book a model for the genre.' Medical History '(Millburn) describes the instruments from the Adams family and their chief competitors, and he uses those instruments as evidence. He does so thoroughly and with discrimination. In order to present this evidence, he has produced a splendidly-illustrated book . . .' Canadian Journal of History 'His book contains several appendixes, one of them especially useful for instrument historians as an aid to dating Adams instruments and publications . . . very detailed . . . an excellent source of information on eighteenth-century life . . . an excellent work . . . the definitive work on the Adams workshop.' Technology and Culture '. . . this book marks a turning point in the standards necessary to produce a serious historical work on instrument makers . . . a model for the genre.' Medical History 46/3 'Millburn is already renowned among eighteenth-century historians of science . . . With this book, he has extended our knowledge in two directions, simultaneously enriching our awareness of the mid-century instrument trade, and providing a longitudinal study of how one family adapted to changing circumstances . . . The thoroughness of Millburn's research is stunning. He has drawn on an impressively wide range of sources.

In den WarenkorbSoft cover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 4to (29 cm), 594 pp. Publisher's black cloth boards, dust jacket, and slipcase (minor shelf-wear). First volume in an ambitious multi-volume series on the history of science sponsored by Banca Popolare di Milano, planned at one volume per year and explicitly conc…eived to supersede Maurice Daumas's pioneering but by then dated Les instruments scientifiques aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles (Paris, 1953). Contents include: Paolo Galluzzi, "Premessa"; Gerard L'E. Turner, "Il ruolo degli strumenti nello sviluppo scientifico"; and Gerard L'E. Turner, "Gli strumenti", with sections on astronomy, planetaria, measurement of time, astronomical instruments in the medieval Islamic world, weights and measures, surveying, navigation, calculating instruments, drawing instruments, chemistry, mechanics, hydrostatics, pneumatics, heat, sound, light, optical instruments, meteorology, electricity and magnetism, and the fundamental instruments in the development of modern physics. Specialist contributions include John R. Millburn on planetaria; David A. King on astronomical instrumentation in the medieval Islamic world; Silvio A. Bedini on the manufacture of scientific instruments in America; Gloria Clifton on scientific-instrument production in England; Paolo Brenni on the scientific-instrument industry in France in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; and Helen E. Turner on surgical and medical instruments. The volume closes with a bibliography, a list of museums and collections of scientific instruments, and an index of names, followed by a statement by Piero Schlesinger of Banca Popolare di Milano concerning the bank's cultural sponsorship of the series. A substantial and richly documented survey of the history, manufacture, and scientific uses of instruments from antiquity to the modern period, bringing together contributions from leading specialists and intended as a modern successor to Daumas's classic study. Particularly useful as a reference for the history of scientific instruments, material culture, and the development of experimental science.
