Impressive cross-sections of shafts and images men at work in the processing halls and foundries make this one of the most visually compelling suites from Diderot’s Encyclopédie. However these are not only attractive depictions of eighteenth-century mining and Earth Sciences they are a comprehensive guide to the operation and construction of the machines and tools employed. Diderot and Goussier ‘the third Encyclopédist’ who together visited many factories and workshops around France and Europe meant the Encyclopédie as a textbook and as a way of propagating new ideas and methods. For instance one of the largest sections in this suite is devoted to the famous Pont-Péan lead mines in Brittany where innovative hydraulic machines had recently been installed. Further plates demonstrate the arts of underground surveying and geometry the renowned slate quarries of Anjoun and the refining of mercury copper gold tin zinc and cobalt. No other publication had devoted this amount of attention to the mechanical arts before and none did again until the mid-nineteenth-century. These images are of considerable significance now as one of few records of mining practices and the mining machines of the eighteenth-century particularly interesting because of their attention to detail and their useful cross-sections and disassemblies.To accompany the plates are many relevant text entries including the main articles for Mine Minéral Minéralogie Minéraux Métal and Métallurgie by Paul-Henri Thiry Baron d’Holbach a French-German philosophe and encyclopédist author of the renowned Système de la Nature ou Des Loix du Monde Physique et du Monde Moral 1780.D’Holbach contributed around four hundred articles to theEncyclopédie a number of which were translations of Germanphilosophical works.Another important paper is on Regne Minéral and is an abrigedversion of a work by Charles Le Roy a French physician and professor of medicine at Montpellier University.

Citron morocco gilt back with raised bands gilt triple-rule border on sides with gilt stamped floral ornament in corners inner gilt-dentelles all edges gilt. Lower cover slightly discolored otherwise a beautiful copy. Housed in a custom brown cloth clamshell. "Rather a paraphrase than a translation of Lord Shaftesbury's An Inquiry Concerning Virtue and Merit. Yet it is a very important work indeed for the growth and development of his thought. It was Diderot who furnished the RÈflexions in a preliminary discours and lengthy footnotes to which students of Diderot now turn for precious indications of the unfolding of his ideas.It will be noticed that the French version is anonymous neither Shaftesbury's name nor that of the translator was mentioned. The reason was that there was some danger involved in presenting to the French public a work that declared so boldly for the existence of a natural morality independant of any particular religion or church" Arthur M.
