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.

DSB. DUHAMEL DU MONCEAU Henri-Louis 1700-1782. His major interest and contribution to technology and society was in agriculture. 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 whose major work Horse-Hoeing Husbandry was published in 1733. 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. Paris. chez H.L. Guerin & L.F. Delatour. 1760 hardcover

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.

Starting in 1755 Duhamel began publishing an eight-volume work titled Traité complet des Bois et des Fôrets that would attempt to detail all aspects of trees including their planting growth maintenance and transportation. The first installation started with two volumes titled Traité des Arbres et Arbustes 1755. Other titles that were included in the comprehensive work were La Physique des Arbres 1758 De l’Exploitation des Bois 1764 and finally Du Transport 1767.Between the years 1752 and 1777 he authored various works that appeared both in Diderot’s Encyclopédie and the Dictionnaire des Arts et Metiers.

At the time of his death his forests in Vrigny and Denainvilliers contained no less than 692 different species of trees.
