Important work on the cultivation of trees by this prolific 18th-century polymath and savant 1700-1782 member of the Royal Academy who published over 100 separate during his prolific lifetime on a wide range of subjects which engaged his passions for chemistry botany agronomy and naval architecture. His most important contribution to agriculture was perhaps his introduction of the methods of cultivation of Jethro Tull into France with his publication in of TRAITÉ DE LA CULTURE DES TERRES 1750-1761. But Duhamel was above all a great advocate of the Tree in France and his numerous works on the cultivations of trees and shrubs as well as forests and forest maintenance are among his most important contributions. Previous to this work Duhamel had published his TRAITÉ DES ARBRES ET ARBUSTES QUI SE CULTIVENT EN FRANCE 1755; and LA PHYSIQUE DES ARBRES 1758. This continuation of "notre travail sur les Forêts" the author says in his Preface is in this case "purement pratique"; and his aim to place simplified methods of cultivation "within the reach of all sorts of readers." He divides his work into six books: 1 on terrain exposure climate choice on trees; 2 Different methods of propagating trees; 3 Care of young trees; 4 Transplanting; 5 Forests; 6 Maintenance of Woods and Revitalization of damaged Forests. illustrated by the fine line engravings this is indeed the work Duhamel most intended for a practical audience.

The text includes many tables and calculations concerning for example the proportions of a ship the number of canons most convenient for the various types and sizes of ships and the resistance and displacement of the water. The plates show fascinating cross-sections and transverse sections of various parts of a ship a plan of the principal deck detailed figures showing the dimensions and shapes of the various beams and joists with extended tables of the various measures. The present work is a re-issue of the first Dutch edition published in 1757. Apart from the title-page the two editions are identical.The edges of the boards are slightly scuffed with some loss of material at the head and foot of the spine. The work is uncut the outer margins of the plates are slightly frayed and soiled with a tear in plates 14 and 22 slightly affecting the image water stains in the margins of some of the leaves not affecting the text.
