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.

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.
