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.

Tull is considered to be one of the early proponents of a scientific – and especially empirical – approach to agriculture. He helped transform agricultural practices by inventing or improving numerous implements. "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 the present during his lifetime." DSB </em> hardcover
