Two parts bound in one. 5" x 8" Although Le Spectacle de la Nature was occasionally used as a natural science textbook in its time Pluche's primary purpose in his eight volume work was to encourage young people to be excited and curious about the world around them. As the preface states Pluche writes "with the View of making young Persons sensible what Treasures they possess unenjoyed and to present to their Observation those things that Distance Minuteness or Inattention may have concealed from them" v. Written as a dialogue between four fictional characters the book follows the young Chevalier du Breuil as he visits his friends in the country. During their walks they discuss what they see which in this volume includes insects birds terrestrial animals fishes and plants. The conversations are not too technical; as Pluche says "we have endeavoured to exclude from the work whatever might seem disagreeable; and instead of a methodical Discourse or a Chain of Dissertations that frequently satiate and disgust we have chosen the Style of Dialogue as most natural and proper to engage all sorts of Readers" ix. A delightful mix of a natural history lesson with a lively chat with friends this work welcomes you into wonder crafting a lens of curiosity through which to see the world right outside your door. <br /> <br /> <br /> Kennedy Dictionary of Anonymous and Pseudonymous English Literature 340.

A valuable set. Sm. 4to.25 cm. Noel Alexandre or Alexander Natalis 1639-1724 was a French historian and theologian of the Order of St. Dominic who studied philosophy and theology in the convent of Saint Jacques Paris where he taught for twelve years obtained the licentiate from the Sorbonne and in 1675 the doctorate and was urged to write a complete history of the church the first volume appearing in 1677. “His directness and conciseness his critical acumen and his manner of viewing history and dividing it into special studies then quite original although now common enough won for him the approbation of the learned. The first volumes of the history brought him letters of commendation and praise from Pope Innocent XI and many cardinals but later volumes gave offense at Rome because of the author's Gallicism and Innocent XI finally forbade the faithful to read .it" Cath.Ency. Alexandre corrected the work in the third edition. Constantino Roncaglia brought out a sixth edition unaltered but with the addition of paragraphs and dissertations correcting the most offensive statements. The work was thus removed from the Index by Pope Benedict XIII. The edition offered here is the best and most complete edited by Giovan Domenico Mansi who added many explanatory notes. An anonymous writer in two supplementary volumes also included here carried the history into the eighteenth century and added various dissertations from other historians. The work thus completed appeared at Venice in 1778 in eleven folio volumes and at Bingen 1785-91 in twenty volumes. Brunet I 169. G. C. Voigt hardcover

This second edition is considerably enlarged and expanded: it is more than twice the size of the first edition has 9000 more pages and 73 more plates. Furthermore a continuation was written called Vervolg op M. Noël Chomel which added a further 9 volumes to the already hefty work.The encyclopaedia was originally published in French by Noël Chomel 1632-1712 as Dictionnaire oeconomique 1709. Chomel was an agronomist entrusted with the domestic management of the possessions of the abbey at Vincennes where he acquired all the knowledge necessary to write his encyclopaedia. The first Dutch version of the encyclopaedia translated and edited by Jacques Alexandre de Chalmot -1801 was published in 1743. The second edition appeared between 1768-1777 and was published a second time in 1778. Chalmot who was also the author of the Vervolg lists the sources he has used to complement Chomel's text in the introduction: for instance the works of Linnaeus Houttuyn Merian Van Leeuwenhoek Swammerdam Bufon Lobel Dodonaeus en Knoop. He also mentions the cooperation of Prof. Petrus Camper who has contributed many articles.Interestingly the Dutch edition also became popular in Japan. In the 18th century the Japanese came into contact with Western-European science via a Dutch trading post on the island of Deshima. Parts of the encyclopaedia were translated into Japanese between 1811 and 1845 under the title Koshei Shimpen. A small portion of the sprinkled paper on the front board of volume 11 has scraped off. Volume 15 has a small stain on the front. Volume 5 and 7 are missing the "bericht aan den boekbinder". Overall the set is in very good condition with only slight traces of use.l Sijs N. van der Verantwoording van de digitale uitgave van huishoudelyk woordenboek door Noël Chomel; STCN 21514368X ad 1 and 156926164 ad 2; cf.
