BAKER, Henry. Beyträge zu nützlichem und vergnügendem Gebrauch und Verbesserung des Microscopii: in zwey Theilen … Aus dem Englischen ins Deutsche übersetzt. Augsburg: Eberhard Klett. 1754.

8vo. Contemporary carta rustica, paper title label to spine (half missing); pp. [xx], 576, [16, index], with large folding engraved frontispiece plate, and 16 folding engraved plates at end; woodcut head- and tail-pieces, typographic ornaments; boards somewhat worn, faint browning, small worm hole to inner margin of final gathering (far from printed surface), but generally very good; bookplate of “Joannis Antonii Josephi Scrinci” to verso of title (see below); early ownership inscription to title, deleted in ink with subsequent ink ownership inscription “Ad usum Adamti Voigt Sch. Piar. 1770”; remnant of ?19th-century bookplate to front pastedown.

First German edition of Employment for the Microscope, originally published in English in 1753, with an interesting contemporary provenance.

Henry Baker (1698-1774) won the Copley Medal of the Royal Society in 1744 for his microscopical observations on the crystallization of saline particles, to which much of the first part of this book is devoted. The second part is more concerned with microbiology and includes the first description of dinoflagellates, here called “Animalcules which cause the Sparkling Light in Sea Water”. Baker “had the rare gift of communicating his knowledge of, and above all his enthusiasm for, the microscope to others. This was what made his two books so widely popular” (DSB I, 411).

Provenance: From the library of Johann Anton Joseph (Jan Antonín Josef) Scrinci (1697-1773), a Bohemian physician and university professor of medicine, as well as of experimental chemistry and physics at Prague’s Charles University. Born into an Italian family of master builders, Scrinci gained renown for identifying an outbreak of ergotism in northern Bohemia, a discovery that led to his appointment at Charles University in 1739. As a full professor, he adopted a practical, demonstration-based scientific method in the manner of Boerhaave, making his lectures particularly popular with students. Twice rector of the university, he withdrew from teaching after the Prussian siege of Prague in 1758.

Worth it!
Flavor Name: Coconut, Size: 25.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Compared to Torani syrups I prefer this one for my coffee in the morning. It’s soft, smoother and tastes delicious combined with cream. You get a lot for the price you pay and it lasts.

Great value as the price is better that the supermarket. Easy to make and the quality is wonderful. I like to make iced lattes with this espresso powder and it is so easy to do so.

Smooth, Light, and Ready in Seconds: Instant Espresso Done Right
Flavor Name: Blonde, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
NESCAFÉ Gold Espresso Blonde is a fantastic option for anyone who wants a smooth, café-style coffee without the hassle! Right away, the flavor stands out. It’s light, well-balanced, and has a smooth finish without any bitterness. It’s perfect if you enjoy a milder espresso profile that still delivers great taste and aroma. What really makes this a winner is the convenience. Just add hot water, give it a quick stir, and you’ve got a great-tasting cup of coffee in seconds. It’s perfect for busy mornings, the office, or anytime you want a quick pick-me-up without pulling out a full coffee setup. It also mixes really well—no clumps, no weird texture—just a clean, consistent cup every time. Whether you drink it black or add milk, it holds up nicely and still tastes great. Overall, this is a high-quality instant coffee that delivers both flavor and convenience. Smooth, easy, and surprisingly rich for an instant option—definitely a great choice for everyday coffee lovers!

My go to
Flavor Name: Blonde, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 2)
I had no idea instant coffee tasted good 😂 I fell victim to social media trends but was pleasantly surprised with this one. This coffee is amazing and I’ve been drinking it daily for about six months. I stopped using my nespresso and haven’t been buying coffee at a shop as often.

Smooth, Rich Espresso Flavor Without the Espresso Machine!
Flavor Name: Blonde, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Blonde, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I was pleasantly surprised by how good this instant espresso is! The Nescafe Gold Espresso Blonde has a smooth, rich flavor with a lighter roast profile that isn't overly bitter or acidic. It dissolves quickly in both hot and cold drinks, making it perfect for iced lattes, cappuccinos, or a quick morning coffee. The aroma is wonderful, and the convenience of having espresso-style coffee ready in seconds is hard to beat. The 3.5-ounce jar lasts quite a while, and the quality is much better than I expected from an instant coffee. A great option for coffee lovers who want café-style drinks at home without the hassle.
