It was the first manual for students of naval engineering written by the founder of the school for naval engineering and architecture at the Louvre. The work rarely appears on the market as we have only been able to find four other copies in sales records of the past hundred years.The present work is a translation of Élémens de larchitecture navale; ou traité practique de la construction des vaisseaux Paris 1752 by Henri-Louis Duhamel du Monceau 1700-1782 which discusses shipbuilding. 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.

With 17 folding plates. lxxx 383 27 10 pp. 1 vols. 4to. 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.

Fussell II 48-49; Hunt 564 this copy. ◆Extremities a bit rubbed corners bumped but A FINE COPY INTERNALLY quite clean fresh and wide margined in a solid serviceable binding.<br/> <br/> This is the Hunt copy of an influential work by the French polymath whom Raphael calls "one of the outstanding botanists of the 18th century" in the fields of plant physiology and agriculture. A physician naval engineer and botanist Henri-Louis Duhamel du Monceau 1700-82 gave up on formal university training to take lodgings near the Botanical Gardens where he pursued his own plan of learning from the director and from other distinguished persons who gathered there. After inheriting his father's estate he set up a model farm on the property to test various theories and methods of agriculture. According to Fussell Duhamel was a proponent of Jethro Tull's "drill husbandry" method of cultivating seeds planted in rows by machine the technique that formed the basis of modern agricultural practice. "He carried out extensive and probably costly experiments and demonstrated the financial advantages and increased physical volume of yield the system provided. This book no doubt played a large part in stimulating interest in the drill husbandry." Hunt notes that the present work was "apparently collected from several publications by Duhamel . . . with the addition of observations and experiments by other French and English writers" by translator and editor John Mills ca. 1717 - ca. 1794. The present item was once owned by one of the greatest botanical book collectors of modern times Rachel McMasters Miller Hunt 1882-1963. According to the Hunt Institute website "at the age of 15 Rachel received her first rare book Leonard Meager's 'The English Gardener' 1670 from a family member. Given her interest in plants gardens books and history this book planted the seed! for a lifelong appreciation of reading and collecting books about botany gardens and other plant-related topics." In addition to assembling an outstanding book collection Hunt was a respected bookbinder who studied with Cobden-Sanderson's pupil Euphemia Bakewell and operated the Lehcar Rachel spelled backwards Bindery out of her family home. She was a founding member of the Hroswitha Club for women bibliophiles which has since merged with the formerly all-male Grolier Club. Another previous owner Sir George Shuckburgh sixth baronet 1751-1804 was a prominent mathematician who was awarded the Royal Society's Copley Medal for his work to establish the standard length of a yard.
