Interesting and very rare document relating to the project for a railway tunnel linking Spain and Morocco under the Strait of Gibraltar, here between the Anse des Vaqueros and Tangiers, with a view to connecting to the Algerian network via Tlemcen. "If Diplomacy offers no more arduous obstacles than Nature, we can be certain of success." The earliest known project is that of engineer Laurent de Villedemil in 1869. Apart from Jean-Baptiste Berlier's, the most successful projects include Émile Pichon's railroad line from Algeria to France via Gibraltar (1905); Garcia Faria's submerged steel tubes; the Marquis de Camarasa's Ibero-Afro-American railway; and Carlos Ibáñez de Ibero's double tunnel project (1908). After several aborted attempts to break through the tunnel during the 20th century, the construction project is back on the agenda today, despite financial and technical obstacles. Work, initiated by the Spanish company Segecsa, could finally begin in 2026, for delivery between 2037 and 2040. Enclosed is a large autographed brochure of the tunnel cross-section of the first line of the Paris metro, with various measurements by station, district and arrondissement.

Numerous restorations to binding (headbands, spines and corners). 4 folding plates in fine. Good condition inside. A British physician and botanist of Dutch origin, Jan Ingenhousz (or Ingen-Housz, 1730-1799) was introduced to the sciences by the physician Sir John Pringle (1707-1782, President of the Royal Society and physician to the King), whom he followed to London, where he met Joseph Priestley (1733-1804) and Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790). He became an early advocate of variolization (vaccination against smallpox). In 1768, he travelled to Vienna to vaccinate the family of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria (1717-1780), where he remained for over ten years. In 1779, after Priestley's discovery of oxygen, Ingenhousz turned his attention to plants and discovered the role of light in photosynthesis. In 1780, he published his Experiments on Plants. In 1778, on July 9, he read before the Assembly of the Royal Society of London, his new method of obtaining light in the field by means of a very small bottle charged with electricity, a description which corresponds to the future electric light bulb. In 1785 and 1788, Jan Ingenhousz took part in the debate on electroculture. He was also the author of a famous experiment on the thermal conductivity of metals (1789). He was the first to use glass plates in electrostatic machines.

First posthumous collective edition of the works of the famous Renaissance ceramist and scholar, divided into two parts: Manière veritable (published in 1563 under the title "Recepte véritable") and Discours admirables (1580) brought together in 1636 under the attractive title Le Moyen de devenir riche by Parisian bookseller Robert Foüet, while Bernard Palissy had fallen into oblivion. In his Discours admirables, he explains "the origin of mineral waters by the dissolution of mineral salts found in the bosom of the earth, rises up against the doctrines of the Alchemists, whom he mocks with great wit, reveals several projection processes that served only to make dupes, seeks to prove that drinking gold is a medicine that is more dangerous than useful, and that Paracelsus was selling something else under this name [...presented in the form of dialogues, the 'Traité des Pierres' is one of the most interesting treatises on natural history. Palissy was the first to establish an exact theory of crystallization, then called freezing" (Dorbon).

Large in-8 of [4], 134 (mal ch. 130) pp. and 4 pp. of engraved music. Brown half-basane, smooth spine decorated with rocaille irons and gilt title (period binding). Covers and spines restored. First edition printed "in a sacramental number of 350 copies only" (n°50). Woodcuts by Louis Huart. The last two leaves include the Musique de l'annulaire agathopédique et saucial: éloge du cochon, les agathopèdes, le cœur et la bagatelle... A rare publication from this pantechnical and palingenesque Society of the Agathopeds, founded in 1847 in a Brussels cabaret and composed not of "students and young rapins", but of figures "occupying prominent positions: members of the Academy, lawyers, university professors, archivists, general officers, architects, artists of proven talent...". The members, united under the motto "Amis comme cochons! Anything for a duck!"were given the name of an animal, sometimes taken from the Roman de Renart ("Grand Pourceau royal" for historian, archaeologist and academician Antoine Schayes, president of the society, "Goupil le renard" for the Montois numismatist and bibliophile Renier Chalon, a great fan of mystifications, "Tardif le Limaçon" for the bookbinder Schavye, Pyrope l'Escarboucle for Alexandre Dumas père or "Pancer II le Castor" for the architect Alphonse Balat). Having pledged to prefer champagne to lemonade, these illustrious personalities would gather in Brussels to indulge in pranks and memorable agapes, publishing each year their famous Annulaire agathopédique et saucial as well as various facetious works, much sought-after by bibliophiles. This yearbook sets out the Society's statutes, defined by the "Bureau des Platitudes et des Ephémorroïdes" (Office of Platitudes and Ephemorrhoids), gives the agathopedic calendar, whose months are named after dishes (Huitrinaire, Crêpose, Jambonose, Truffose, Boudinal, Canardinal, Petitpoisidor...), and proposes the various activities of the Bêtes-laides or Sciants class (courses in biblical agathopedics, gynofulope construction, pinopenal legislation...). The book's typography uses Masonic symbolism (Oberlé, 1139 - Quérard, Supercheries III, 303-308).

The eighth part consists of Poems and fantasies dedicated to the author by Louis Faure, and a recipe for crepes in verse by Achille Ozanne.
