T. 2: VI-78-27 p. et 24 pl, Veau marbré de l'époque, dos à 5 nerfs orné de caissons dorés et portant une pièce de titre en maroquin rouge, Seconde édition, posthume et très augmentée, du premier traité français de microscopie. La première édition fut publiée en 1718. Louis Joblot (1645-1723), prolifique inventeur de microscopes, qui ne fut jamais fabricant, débuta ses recherches en microscopie et sur les organismes microscopiques à la suite des démonstrations de Huygens et d'Hartsoeker devant l'Académie des Sciences durant l'été 1678. La publication de 1718 forme donc l'aboutissement de 36 années de travail et d'étude. La seconde édition donne la prééminence, comme le souligne le nouveau titre, aux observations d'histoire naturelle qui se trouvent en tête de l'ensemble. Elles se composent des expérimentations et de résultats d'observation de 1718 servant à réfuter la théorie de la génération spontanée où, en outre, il reprend des observations sur les protozoaires qui avaient été faites précédemment par Leeuwenhoek ; et elles sont augmentées d'observations d'entomologie (pou, puce, mouche et moucheron), et, notamment, sur les cristaux de sel. La partie qui concerne la construction des microscopes forme ici le second volume. L'auteur y décrit l'utilité de ses 18 microscopes (microscopes à liqueurs, à tiges, à canon verre nommé "Tombeaux", un microscope monté d'une seule lentille, un très petit à deux verres, un porte-loupe, un microscope à trois verres convexes des deux côtés et des microscopes dits "universels"). Elle est augmentée de la description de deux nouveaux microscopes universels à plusieurs verres et de détails sur la "proportion des verres qui entrent dans [leur] composition". L'ouvrage est illustré de 53 planches gravées sur cuivre et de très belles vignettes dont l'une montre un observateur au microscope dans son cabinet scientifique. La plupart des planches représentent d'une part les microscopes et les accessoires utilisés par Joblot et, d'autre part, les "animaux" microscopiques qu'il avait observés dans les différents liquides analysés (vinaigre et infusions) et les insectes. On peut noter sur certaines planches des détails montrant les innovations apportées au XVIIIe siècle: vis à écrou pour la mise au point, cylindre à ressort pour glisser la lame du porte-objet, etc. Très bel exemplaire, grand de marges, dans son élégante reliure d'époque portant l'ex-libris imprimé de "R. Pillault". Un accroc à la coiffe de tête. Wellcome III, 356. Nissen 2114. DSB VII, 110
