Ce texte prolonge le Traité de dynamique paru en 1744 ; l'auteur y applique le principe éponyme d'Alembert, qui "fournit les lois générales d'un mouvement quelconque de systèmes de corps, liés ou non entre eux, libres ou contraints par des forces, en faisant usage de la méthode des déplacements virtuels" (En français dans le texte), à l'hydrodynamique afin d'unifier les sciences mécaniques autour d'une loi mathématique rationnelle unique.

"William Emerson (1701-1782), an English amateur scientist who spent most of his life in seclusion at Hurworth in Durhamshire, Emerson was mainly interested in mathematics, astronomy, physics, and medicine. He is known for his so-called "Emerson Paradox"... the Mechanics was very popular and went through several editions. It deals with the general laws of motion, descent of bodies, centers of gravity, mechanical powers, comparative strength of timber and its failure, forces of engines and their motion, as well as friction, hydrostatics, and pneumatics. The volume also poses the Emerson Paradox..."?Roberts & Trent. Robert & Trent, Bibliotheca Mechanica, pp. 101-02.

New English Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). Introduction in English and Turkish; [360] p. color facsimiles of the earliest of all copies, dating 1206 (preserved in the Library of Topkapi Serai, Istanbul, No. 3472), color ills. The book of knowledge of ingenious mechanical devices.= Olaganüstü mekanik araçlarin bilgisi hakkinda kitap. [FACSIMILE]. Al-Jazari was a Muslim polymath: a scholar, inventor, mechanical engineer, artisan, artist and mathematician. He is best known for writing 'The Book of Knowledge of Ingenious Mechanical Devices'. Kitab fi ma'rifat al-hiyal al-handasiya, (lit. 'Book in knowledge of engineering tricks') in 1206, where he described 100 mechanical devices, some 80 of which are trick vessels of various kinds, along with instructions on how to construct them. The only biographical information known about him is contained in his famed Book of Knowledge of Ingenious Mechanical Devices. Like his father before him, he served as chief engineer at the Artuklu Palace, the residence of the Mardin branch of the Artuqids which ruled across eastern Anatolia as vassals of the Zengid dynasty of Mosul and later of Ayyubid general Saladin. Al-Jazari was part of a tradition of artisans and was thus more a practical engineer than an inventor who appears to have been "more interested in the craftsmanship necessary to construct the devices than in the technology which lay behind them" and his machines were usually "assembled by trial and error rather than by theoretical calculation." His Book of Knowledge of Ingenious Mechanical Devices appears to have been quite popular as it appears in a large number of manuscript copies, and as he explains repeatedly, he only describes devices he has built himself. According to Mayr, the book's style resembles that of a modern "do-it-yourself" book. Some of his devices were inspired by earlier devices, such as one of his monumental water clocks, which was based on that of a Pseudo-Archimedes. He also cites the influence of the Banu Musa brothers for his fountains, al-Saghani for the design of a candle clock, and Hibatullah ibn al-Husayn (d. 1139) for musical automata. Al-Jazari goes on to describe the improvements he made to the work of his predecessors, and describes a number of devices, techniques and components that are original innovations which do not appear in the works by his precessors. The most significant aspect of al-Jazari's machines are the mechanisms, components, ideas, methods, and design features which they employ. (Source: Wikipedia). There are 50 devices that Al Jazari designed and explained how they function in his book and created technical drawings of them in such detail that allow to reconstruct in its original size, make, model and full functionally. This nice facsimile edition, fully executed in color, is based on a manuscript present in the Library of Topkapi Palace, (ms. no. 3472). It is dated 1206, andaccording to the foreword, is the earliest extant ccopy of al-Jazarî's work.

In 8° (19,5x12,1 cm); 284 pp. e 8 c. di tav. più volte ripiegate. Legatura coeva in mezza-pelle con fregi in oro al dorso (titolo impresso a secco ma scolorito). Piatti foderati con carta marmorizzata coeva. Tagli spruzzati in azzurro. Un leggerissimo ed ininfluente alone al margine basso delle prime 20 venti carte e nelle ultime 4 carte, mai fastidioso od intenso. Prima edizione francese che presenta in prima edizione le aggiunte di Molard, di questo importante trattato del grande politico ed economo inglese Thomas William Coke, I conte di Leicester (Londra, 6 maggio 1754 - Longford, 30 giugno 1842). L'autore divenne celebre per la rivoluzione agricola che impose alle sue estese proprietà agricole nel territorio del Norfolk che ebbero un tale impulso sulla produzione agricola da esser da molti paragonata agli effetti produttivi avuti della rivoluzione industriale sulla produttività inglese. Uomo di grande ingegno fu anche un appassionato bibliofilo. La sua opera è considerata come una delle principali della storia dell'agricoltura moderna. Questa edizione francese si avvale delle aggiunte di Molard che fu "Saggio emerito de l'Ecole Polytechnique, Direttore del Conservatorio Reale di Arti e Mestieri e membro onorario del Comitato consultivo delle Arti e Manifatture. L'opera, in questa prima edizione francese è arricchita di 8 belle tavole più volte ripiegate con immagini di innovative macchine agricole. Il volume oltre a trattare delle migliori tecniche di irrigazione ed al funzionamento di numerosi nuovi macchinari descrive anche la migliore organizzazione dei giardini e tratta anche dell'allevamento delle pecore. Numerosi poi sono le parti dedicate all'influenza delle nuove tecniche agricole sull'economia dei paesi che la applicano. Esemplare in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione e assai poco comune.
