The plates demonstrate the complicated process of measuring the altitudes and gradients at which the water would fall through the pipes laid and the hydromechanics involved in devising a water container of the right shape and size. A further plate displays some popular fountain garden layouts.The plates are accompanied by a series of important and extensive articles on fountains. The first of these and the most substantial is by D'Alembert. Co-editor of the Encyclopédie he had already distinguished himself as a mathematician mechanician and physicist. D'Alembert's formula was named after him and one field which he had a great influence in was fluid mechanics. Here he expertly tackles the difficult topic of fountains and their creation examining the mathematics and physics involved.Following articles include Fontaines Artificielles by Antoine-Joseph Desallier D'Argenville who wrote around six hundred articles for the project mostly on gardening Diderot's Fontaine Domestiques and Jacques-François Blondel's description of fountains and their role in architecture. In all this set of articles includes contributions by some of the most distinguished of the many Encyclopédists. unknown books
