    Fables, Vol. I

    Eighteen months ago I thought that purchasing a set of Rousset for about 150mighthavebeenamistake.NowpurchasingasetofRoussetfor150 might have been a mistake. Now purchasing a set of Rousset for 300 may have been another mistake. But it has been a fascinating mistake! Why? First, this set of four volumes is signed by the author. Secondly, there is a surprising pattern: though some images overlap in the two sets, images missing in that set are in this set and vice versa. Thus this copy lacks the decorative title-page, an image of an inscribed log with surrounding leafage. On that page we find In this deep impression "Imp. Dantzell. Lyon," about as close as either version comes to announcing a publisher. Our new volume has a title-page beginning Livre I with a cherub. Our new volume does not have for the first fable the full-page image of a figure (Poesie?) looking over the shoulder of another figure (Sagesse?). But fable II in the new-bought copy has an image of a narcissus and a butterfly. It has full-page images for Fables III and VI but none for VII, which has an image in the earlier copy. And so it goes, apparently throughout the volume. How strange! At last in Book II Fable III both have the identical full-page illustration. There is a third anomaly here. The printer or bookbinder botched his job! This volume is missing 121 to 172. It skips from III 5 to IV 6. That segment is found in the middle of an even greater lapse in the second volume (120 to 240). My! In this volume, a particularly good image portrays a group of rats abandoning a house for Book II Fable VIII, an illustration not present in the other version. Another is "Lion and Ass" facing 280 (also not in the earlier copy). My favorite printer's device is on 58: A lion plays piano. Many of these devices are lively! The illustration facing 52 has a fine moral: "Les bons et les méchants pursuivent le Bonheur. Mais les bons seuls peuvent l'atteindre." 285 pages, followed by a T of C for the five books here. The illustrated interior title-page pays homage to Aesop and La Fontaine. I am not so sure the fables do. 5.5" x 8.5".This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: FrenchAlexis Rousse

    William C. Miller home, Barboursville, W.Va., b&w copyprint This is one in a set of copies of photos from a 1970 calendar, made by Marshall professor Joseph Jablonski. The house was built ca. 1840-1850 and still stands. In the 1990\u27s, it contained an antique store owned by Ted Blankenship, retired from IBM.https://mds.marshall.edu/cabell_wayne_hist_soc_collection/1335/thumbnail.jp

    Fables, Vol. III

    No full text
    This third volume, covering Books XI-XV on 240 pages, continues the mysteries of the first two. It lacks not only the closing T of C but also the title-page found at the beginning of Volume II of the two-volume set, and so it lacks the publisher and date (1856) found there. The major anomaly in this third volume is that it ends at 240, while the equivalent segment of the two-volume set has 19 more fables to go in Book XV and ends on 288. Was the printer of this set intoxicated? Did Rousset publish one long work and then another longer one, including some of the earlier illustrations? The same pattern holds concerning images: while there are some repeaters from the two-volume set, there are many more images here and many of them were not in that set. I noticed five such images and checked their fables. In XII 6 on 65, a bear learns from a monkey that taking revenge on the insult from a horse deprives one of the right to complain. At XII 10 (73) a lion shames a vulture about to eat a chick and then eats a mother sheep and her lamb! At XIII 17 on 146, a horse does a lot of complaining while an ass traveling the same route with him sees it as the common lot, even for people. At XV 7 on 235, a tamer is held by the chain as much as the lion is. At XV 11 on 224, "Fly and Ant" recoups GA but with little sympathy for the fly.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: FrenchAlexis Rousse

    Mixed manganese spinel oxides: optical properties in the infrared range

    No full text
    Spinel oxides in manganite family are studied in terms of optical properties in the infrared range (3–12 lm). The reflectivity is measured on sintered pellets. The complex refractive index is estimated by fitting hemispherical directional reflectance in both polarizations, perpendicular and parallel. The influence of different metallic cations (Ni, Co, Fe, Cu) is compared. In particular, in the case of manganese nickel copper oxides, the impact of variations in copper and nickel contents is evaluated. Cationic distribution is determined and correlated to the optical characteristics. These materials, usually used for NTC thermistor applications, are investigated for IR charges in coating

    Del extracto clorofórmico de la corteza del tronco de Pera nítida (Benth.) Jablonski se aisló una sustancia amarilla que fue identificada como 5—hidro.x¡-2— metil —1,4—naftoquinona. Esta sustancia es conocida como plumbagina y ha mostrado una destacada acción biológica. La estructura fue deducida con base en los datos espectroscópicos y su presencia en esta especie tiene importancia quimiotaxonómica
