Two volumes. xxiv 499 1; viii 410 2 pp. 12mo. 165 x 93 mm bound in contemporary Austrian or German mottled calf red and green title labels edges painted red. Paris: H.L. Guerin & L.F. Delatour 1762. First Edition scarce; this work was included in the pioneering "Landmarks of Science" microfilming project on account of its significance in promoting a number of scientific advances which led to the agricultural revolution of the eighteenth century. Duhamel du Monceau 1700-1781 was one of the most important horticultural writers of the eighteenth century. "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 during his lifetime" DSB IV p. 224. Not in Cleveland Botanical Hunt Pritzel Nissen De Ganay or Brunet.

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.

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.
