175099133A Paris, chez Hyppolite-Louis Guerin, 1750, in-12, 1 f.n.ch. XXXVI-486 pp. 1 f.n.ch. (errata) 10 pl, Veau fauve marbré de l'époque, dos à nerfs et caissons fleuronnés dorés, pièce de titre rouge, coupes guillochées, tranches rouges, Édition originale et première publication de Duhamel, divisée en deux parties avec les Principes de la nouvelle agriculture et une Description des instruments utiles à la culture des terres. L'ouvrage est orné de 10 figures en taille-douce repliées offrant une riche iconographie des outils et des pratiques de l'agriculture au dix-huitième siècle. C'est après un voyage en Angleterre, que Duhamel publia, en 1750, ce Traité de la culture des terres suivant les principes de M. [Jethro] Tull, grâce auquel il introduisait, en France, les innovations technologiques agricoles et révolutionnaires anglaises. Cependant, Duhamel ne parvint pas à imposer ces idées nouvelles en France, où il se trouva en butte à une société agraire encore médiévale. Il parviendra néanmoins à obtenir, de son vivant, l'estime et la reconnaissance pour ses travaux. Bel exemplaire dans sa reliure d'époque avec un très bel état des planches, la coiffe supérieure est néanmoins légèrement frottée et abîmée. Étiquette ex-libris gravée et armoriée d'azur à trois palmes d'or 2 et 1 surmontées d'une étoile d'argent avec deux lions dont un couché, couronne de marquis de "P. N.

1759101162Paris, H.L. Guerin & L.F. Delatour, 1759, in-12, XVI-252 pp, 5 pl. dépl, Plein veau, dos à nerfs fleuronné, pièce de titre rouge, Édition originale. L'ouvrage est illustré de cinq planches dépliantes gravées sur cuivre représentant la coupe d'un vaisseau, des soufflets pour le pompage de l'air, une machine pour couper le chou destiné à la préparation de la choucroute, le plan et l'élévation de l'hôpital Saint-Louis. En dix-neuf articles, l'auteur démontre les causes des maladies particulières à bord des bateaux, en particulier l'altération de l'air, puis des maladies occasionnées selon les climats et l'alimentation. Il fournit les précautions à prendre avant l'embarquement, aborde la question de la propreté à bord, présente les moyens techniques qui doivent permettre le renouvellement de l'air dans les cales et entreponts et préconise l'utilisation de fumigations au vinaigre et au soufre. Enfin, il prévient contre la malnutrition en présentant plusieurs recettes, dont la boisson acidulée des "Russiens", l'extrait de citron ("limon") ou encore les vins antiscorbutiques. D'autres conseils concernent la conservation des aliments à bord, notamment le chou sous la forme allemande de la Sauerkraut. Henri-Louis Duhamel du Monceau (1700-1782) accumula les activités. On le considère en général comme un agronome et un chimiste de premier plan. Il est l'auteur de plusieurs traités de botanique et d'agronomie importants, dont La physique des arbres (Paris, Guerin et Delatour, 1758). De plus, ses connaissances dans l'industrie navale lui valurent d'être nommé en 1732 Inspecteur général de la marine. Outre cet ouvrage d'hygiène, il est l'auteur des Élémens de l'Architecture navale en 1752 (Paris, Jombert). Coins usés, petit manque à la coiffe inférieure. Bon état intérieur. Blake 128.

1759123197Paris: Estienne 1759. First edition of Duhamel du Monceau's treatise supporting the establishment of schools of agriculture to promote the development of agricultural science and the enhancement of estate management. Henri-Louis Duhamel du Monceau 1700-1782 became an amateur botanist in his youth and used his inheritance of a large estate to establish a model farm where he developed his agricultural theories. His writings on agriculture influenced numerous enlightenment and physiocratic figures including Quesnay whose entry on agriculture in the Encyclopédie in 1751 was heavily influenced by Duhamel du Monceau's work. The book is scarce in any state of preservation - WorldCat lists ten copies in institutions worldwide with Library Hub adding a further four - and is especially so in the present unrestored wrappers. Octavo 182 x 104 mm. Original plain paper wrappers manuscript title to spine. Contemporary ownership signature to title page small ink price and acquisition notations to pastedowns. Faint soiling to covers some occasional minor creasing and foxing 4 cm closed tear to page 65. Overall a remarkably well-preserved copy in the fragile original wrappers.

First edition in Spanish of the first part of Duhamel du Monceau's influential treatise on agriculture published in France in 1750 as Traité de la Culture des Terres; five other parts followed the last one published in 1760. Quesnay's entry on agriculture which appeared in the first volume of the Encyclopédie in 1751 was influenced by the work of Duhamel du Monceau. This edition includes as the appendix a Spanish translation of an excerpt from the 12th-century Kitab al-Filaha the most important medieval Arabic work on agriculture by the Andalusian Abu Zakariya ibn al-Awwam; a seven-page dictionary of Arabic names and words in Arabic and Spanish is included between p. 268 and 269. An uncommon work: WorldCat lists nine copies in institutions none of which are in British holdings. Provenance: The Lawes Agricultural Library with their stamp and pencilled shelf marks to title page. The library was assembled in the early 20th century by Sir John Russell director of the Rothamsted agricultural research institution in Hertfordshire and ranked as one of the finest English collections of agricultural material. With a presentation inscription to John Russell dated 1943 on the front free endpaper in Spanish along with the stamp of the Spanish ministry of agriculture.

1759188999London: for J. Whiston and B. White R. Baldwin W. Johnston P. Davey and B. Law 1759. From the foothills of the agricultural revolution First edition in English translated by John Mills from the original French. Duhamel promotes the horse-hoeing husbandry of Jethro Tull and reports on his own agricultural experiments. This translation is "apparently collected from several publications by Duhamel du Monceau with the addition of observations and experiments by other French and English writers" Hunt. Duhamel's treatise was published in France as Traité de la Culture des Terres in six parts between 1750 and 1760. It remained a key reference into the 19th century and stimulated broader interest in seed-drill planting which is the basis for modern agriculture. His work also influenced the physiocrat François Quesnay. The translator John Mills 1717-1794 published his own New and Complete System of Practical Husbandry between 1762 and 1765. He was also a progenitor of the Encyclopédie a French translation of Ephraim Chambers's Cyclopedia 1745. Quarto 262 x 205 mm pp. xxiv 491 9 errata and index. With 6 engraved plates 4 folding folding table woodcut head- and tailpieces title page in red and black. Contemporary sprinkled calf red morocco label twin gilt rules to raised bands edges speckled red. A few later pencil annotations to margins.

1762497561762. DUHAMEL DU MONCEAU Henri-Louis. Éléments d'Agriculture. Two volumes. xxiv 499 1; viii 410 2 pp. 12mo. 165 x 93 mm bound in contemporary Austrian or German mottled calf red and green title labels edges painted red. Paris: H.L. Guerin & L.F. Delatour 1762. First Edition scarce; this work was included in the pioneering "Landmarks of Science" microfilming project on account of its significance in promoting a number of scientific advances which led to the agricultural revolution of the eighteenth century. Duhamel du Monceau 1700-1781 was one of the most important horticultural writers of the eighteenth century. "The first half of the eighteenth century had witnessed the beginning of a technological renaissance in agriculture chiefly in England where it was notably celebrated in the writings of Jethro Tull. Although the ideas of Tull and Duhamel enjoyed substantial popularity among a progressive group of French landowners the opposition - either in the form of active criticism or in the passive inertia of an almost medieval agrarian society - was too strong for France to enjoy the rapid agricultural changes which occurred in England and shortly after in Scotland. However enough progress was made for Duhamel to receive recognition for his pioneering work during his lifetime" DSB IV p. 224. Not in Cleveland Botanical Hunt Pritzel Nissen De Ganay or Brunet. Minor staining at the foot light wear to binding extremities; overall an attractive copy in original unsophisticated condition. With early ownership inscriptions in each volume: "G.S. Vühn." unknown
