1759101162Paris, H.L. Guerin & L.F. Delatour, 1759, in-12, XVI-252 pp, 5 pl. dépl, Plein veau, dos à nerfs fleuronné, pièce de titre rouge, Édition originale. L'ouvrage est illustré de cinq planches dépliantes gravées sur cuivre représentant la coupe d'un vaisseau, des soufflets pour le pompage de l'air, une machine pour couper le chou destiné à la préparation de la choucroute, le plan et l'élévation de l'hôpital Saint-Louis. En dix-neuf articles, l'auteur démontre les causes des maladies particulières à bord des bateaux, en particulier l'altération de l'air, puis des maladies occasionnées selon les climats et l'alimentation. Il fournit les précautions à prendre avant l'embarquement, aborde la question de la propreté à bord, présente les moyens techniques qui doivent permettre le renouvellement de l'air dans les cales et entreponts et préconise l'utilisation de fumigations au vinaigre et au soufre. Enfin, il prévient contre la malnutrition en présentant plusieurs recettes, dont la boisson acidulée des "Russiens", l'extrait de citron ("limon") ou encore les vins antiscorbutiques. D'autres conseils concernent la conservation des aliments à bord, notamment le chou sous la forme allemande de la Sauerkraut. Henri-Louis Duhamel du Monceau (1700-1782) accumula les activités. On le considère en général comme un agronome et un chimiste de premier plan. Il est l'auteur de plusieurs traités de botanique et d'agronomie importants, dont La physique des arbres (Paris, Guerin et Delatour, 1758). De plus, ses connaissances dans l'industrie navale lui valurent d'être nommé en 1732 Inspecteur général de la marine. Outre cet ouvrage d'hygiène, il est l'auteur des Élémens de l'Architecture navale en 1752 (Paris, Jombert). Coins usés, petit manque à la coiffe inférieure. Bon état intérieur. Blake 128.

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. Among the more than 20 subjects he covered were metallurgy tobacco pipes and the kilns used in their manufacturing the printing of playing cards candlesticks paste soap locks refining sugar and fishing.Duhamel died in Paris on August 13 1782. At the time of his death his forests in Vrigny and Denainvilliers contained no less than 692 different species of trees. His enduring legacy was testament to the amateurs and scientists who hoped to accomplish a fraction of what he had achieved. 2 volumes in-4 veau époque50 planches dépliantes. 3 coiffes arasées manques de cuir à 3 coins et légères dégradationsaux 70 premières pp. du 1° volume A Paris: chez H.
