The Ideal Farming Village 34 EICKEMEYER, Rudolf. Uiber die Erbauung der Dörfer. Frankfurt, Varrentrapp snd Wenner, 1787. £480 4to, pp. iv, 36, with 8 engraved mostly folding plates; title vignette and woodcut head- and tail-pieces; uncut in the original blue wrappers, spine reinforced; title page a little browned, else Wne. First edition of the winning contribution to the prize question of the Göttingen Academy of 1786. Following a number of village Wres, the Academy requested contributions on the question of how best to plan and design a village, both for rebuilding the ones damaged by Wre and in general for planning new villages. Eickemeyer proposes a village based on a grid system, with mixed-sized farms, a centrally located church, school and court house, and easy access to roads. The outline is illustrated on the engraved plates. He also makes some general observations on the ideal location of such a village, close to a river, at suYcient distance to avoid Xooding, in the shadow of some hills or mountains, protected from Werce winds, but not in an area with stagnant waters and its inherent dangers. Eickemeyer (1753–1825) studied mathematics at Göttingen and later became a well-known army engineer, and military Wgure. ADB V, pp. 743–746; uncommon, OCLC lists copies at Munich and Frankfurt. Law of the Seas 35 ERIONI, Cesare. Ragionamenti ... l’uno sulla Ragione Pubblica l’altro su i Relitti del Mare Adriatico. Rome, Girolamo Mainardi, 1759. £950 8vo, [xvi], 62, [2 blank title printed in red and black with large engraved vignette, three large engraved head-pieces, 3 tailpieces and 3 Wgurative initials; a wide-margined copy; contemporary full mottled calf, spine decoratively gilt, insigniWcant worm trace to foot of spine; a Wne copy, ownership inscription of Avvocato Alessandro del Conte in ink to title, with the bookplate of the Biblioteca Caproni. First edition, uncommon, of two Wnely produced legal essays, fulsomely presented to Cardinal Orsini. The Wrst one deals with the importance of the law in civic life. Erioni maintains that the juridical faculty is of utmost importance in the university, as here future public administrators are being trained and educated. Even though science and industry will produce wealth for the state, lawyers are necessary to guarantee a smooth running of the system, provide the framework of their operation and settle disputes. The legal profession is also instrumental in maintaining civic order, and necessary for the settlement of international disputes through negotiation rather than with the help of weaponry. Throughout he quotes extensively from legal writers such as Grotius, Muratori, Hobbes, Burlamaqui etc., and maintains that the study of law should be encouraged. susanne schulz-falster rare books
In the second treatise he discusses issues concerning the Law of the Sea, speciWcally the question who owns wrecks and whatever else washes up on the shore. He adheres to the doctrine of the liberty of the seas, as pronounced by Grotius, Selden, and Bynkerhoek, but is particularly concerned with the question of property rights on changing shorelines. When the water retreats, who owns the extra land, and similarly when the waters rise, will landowners be compensated?
