In-4°,(20), 360, (60), 328pp, 3 carte di tavola ripiegate, antiporta, illustrazioni; buone condizioni, legatura in pergamena piena, tassello al dorso. Buona edizione di questa raccolta, curata da Goes, di autori latini sul tema dell'agronomia e dell'agrimensura. In parte già edita nel 1554 da André Turnèbe, fu successivamente Nicolas Rigault (Paris, 1577-1654, erudito letterario e latinista, succeduto a Casaubon nella carica di bibliotecario regio) che ne promosse una nuova edizione a Parigi nel 1614 sotto il titolo Auctores finium regundorum... Entrambe le edizioni risultarono offuscate da codesta del 1674. Il trattato comprende opere di scrittori latini quali: Siculus Flaccus, De conditionibus agrorum; Julius Frontinus, De coloniis libellus e De agrorum qualitate; Hyginus, De limitibus constituendis; Innocentius, De litteris et notis juris exponendis. Le numerose incisioni in rame e legno nel testo rappresentano schematicamente paesaggi rurali con fiumi, monti, case, castelli, boschi, fonti e i simboli usati nelle piante dei catasti agrari romani e nella determinazione dei fondi rurali. Brunet, IV/1195. Bibl. Agronomique, n. 1718: "Ouvrage estimé et recherché; assez rare". In-4 °, (20), 360, (60), 328pp, 3 folded tables, frontispiece, plates; good condition, vellum binding, label at the spine. Good edition of this collection, edited by Goes, of Latin authors on the subject of agronomy and land surveying. Partly already published in 1554 by André Turnèbe, it was subsequently Nicolas Rigault (Paris, 1577-1654, literary scholar and latinist, who succeeded Casaubon in the position of royal librarian) who promoted a new edition in Paris in 1614 under the title Auctores finium regundorum ... Both editions were blurred by this 1674. The treatise includes works by Latin writers such as: Siculus Flaccus, De conditionibus agrorum; Julius Frontinus, De coloniis libellus and De agrorum qualitate; Hyginus, De limitibus constituendis; Innocentius, De litteris et notis juris exponendis. The numerous engravings in the text schematically represent rural landscapes with rivers, mountains, houses, castles, woods, sources and symbols used in the plants of the Roman land registers and in the determination of rural funds. Brunet, IV / 1195. Bibl. Agronomique, n. 1718: "Ouvrage estimé et recherché; assiz rare".

Ouvrage rédigé après sa mort sur ses Mémoires, par M. D***, avec Figures en taille-douce, dessinées & gravées d'après nature, 1 vol. in-12 reliure de l'époque plein veau marbré, dos à 5 nerfs orné, toutes tranches marbrées, Chez Debure, Paris, 1772, 1 f., frontispice, xxiii-364 pp. ; 2 ff., 430 pp. avec 18 planches hors texte dont une dépliante Rare exemplaire portant l'estampillage de Nancy de 1777. Instituée à l'été 1777, l'apposition d'une estampille, portant le nom du bureau local, associée à la signature d'un inspecteur préposé dans chacune des chambres syndicales du Royaume de France permettait de lever le caractère illicite d'une contrefaçon, qui pouvait dès lors être commercialisée de manière légale. Comportant des "points secrets" afin d'éviter son imitation, l'estampille est toujours frappée au bas de la première page du texte principal (et non en page de titre ou de faux-titre). Cet ouvrage de l'abbé Jean-Roger Schabol (1690-1768) qui fut aussi l'auteur de la "Théorie du Jardinage" (disponible dans notre catalogue), a été publié de manière posthume par Antoine-Nicolas Dézallier d'Argenville, le fils du naturaliste, collectionneur et encyclopédiste Antoine Joseph. Bon état (restaurations en coiffes, ex-libris L. A. Brillard, petite restauration à la planche dépliante, rel. un peu frottée, bon exemplaire par ailleurs) pour cet exemplaire estampillé, et bien complet du frontispice et des 18 planches hors texte.

Third edition, large 8vo (250 x 155 mm), 6, [vii]-xi, [1], 634pp., without half-title, 13 folding copper-engraved plates, one torn and repaired with archival paper, inoffensive light tidemark along the blank top margin of some sections and a darker stain towards the rear, recent cloth-backed boards, printed label to spine, uncut. The book is divided into two parts: first, obstetrics, and secondly, the diseases to which dairy stock are liable. "This is the most superb work ever published in the English language on parturition in the cow... The work is generally well and clearly written, though here and there obscure paragraphs occur. The author was in active practice before a veterinary school existed in this country, and learned his work under his father. After practising in the country he came to London and settled in Marylebone. London in those days had to produce its own milk. Skellett would appear to have specialised in dairy practice, and after twenty-five years' experience he decided to publish his views and methods."?Smith. Smith, Veterinary Literature III, pp. 119-121.

First edition, 4to (285 x 220 mm), xvi, 244pp., with half-title, 9 folding engraved plates, the Lawes stamp at head of title, orig. boards scuffed, cloth reback, uncut. William Amos (c.1745?1825), Lincolnshire farmer and Agriculturalist writer. Amos's interest in new agricultural practices led him to undertake a series of crop trials from 1783 onwards, and these convinced him of the superiority of seed-drilling over the traditional broadcast method of sowing. As early as 1787 he was developing his own version of a drill-plough and he announced plans in that year for a book describing it; but his employer's death in 1788 and his subsequent move to Brothertoft in Lincolnshire as bailiff to Major John Cartwright (political reformer) delayed this project. While acting as bailiff and later as estate steward to Cartwright, Amos conducted further trials on his own farm as well as Cartwright's. Cartwright combined an active political career with a keen interest in agricultural improvement, and the collaboration between the two men over a period of fifteen years or so proved beneficial to both. It also brought Amos into contact with their close neighbour Sir Joseph Banks, who later described Amos as 'an honest man and an ingenious one', and with the agriculturist Arthur Young, who visited Cartwright's farm, saw some of Amos's inventions and remained in correspondence with him, obtaining a number of submissions from Amos for publication in his Annals of Agriculture. It was during this period of his life that Amos published his two books, The Theory and Practice of the Drill Husbandry and Minutes in Agriculture. (Wikipedia).

First edition, [6], 255, [1]pp., 4 large folding engraved plates of various different ploughs, contemporary tree calf, rebacked, label, a good copy. James Small, agriculturist and plough maker, was born at Upsettlington in the parish of Ladykirk, Berwickshire. He served an apprenticeship with a carpenter and plough maker at Hutton, Berwickshire, and about 1758 he went to Yorkshire to work for a Mr Robertson, maker of wagons and carriages at Doncaster. He returned to Scotland in 1763 and started to experiment with ploughs to establish which worked with the least draught. He enjoyed patronage from several leaders of Scottish society. Henry Home, Lord Kames, encouraged him in the publication of his treatise. Sir John Sinclair, a leader of progressive agricultural opinion in Scotland, was another champion of Small and his work. Small did not forget his first investor, Renton, who in 1784 became the dedicatee of his "Treatise of Ploughs and Wheel-Carriages." The book made Small the first to set out the scientific principles of plough design in print, building upon and clarifying the work of previous thinkers on the subject as well as expressing his own theories. This treatise was the standard text on plough design for fifty years. Rothamsted, p.136; Not in Perkins; Fussell II, pp.98-9.

de XVIII, 435 et (1) pages plein basane racinée de l'époque, dos lisse portant une pièce de titre en maroquin rouge (manque de cuir sur les coupes et les coins, mais reliure de très bonne tenue) 1755, 1755, in-12, de XVIII, 435 et (1) pages, plein basane racinée de l'époque, dos lisse portant une pièce de titre en maroquin rouge (manque de cuir sur les coupes et les coins, mais reliure de très bonne tenue), Cinquième édition. La première fut publiée à Londres en 1753. L'épître dédicatoire, l'avertissement et la seconde partie sur l'agriculture ne furent ajoutés qu'à la quatrième édition, parue à Berlin en 1754, et dont découle directement cette cinquième. Passionnante étude dans laquelle l'auteur lutte contre le conservatisme (et un certain nationalisme) économique : "Depuis l'Arrêt du Conseil du 17 Septembre 1754, qui permet le commerce des grains dans le Royaume, et leur sortie par quelques portes du Languedoc, il aurait été inutile de s'étendre encore sur cette liberté, si quelques personnes ne la regardaient comme dangereuse, et s'il n'était pas nécessaire, que le public ne perdit point de vue les motifs de ce nouveau règlement, et sentit les avantages qui peuvent résulter d'un commerce plus étendu [...] La proposition [de la sortie de nos bleds] nous alarme, elle est aussitôt écrasée sous l'autorité de la loi et de l'habitude, on y oppose des difficultés effrayantes, elle n'est ni écoutée, ni examinée". Texte captivant qui nous plonge aux origines de la création, en France, du commerce extérieur, et d'un certain libéralisme, entre les régions du Royaume et avec les autres pays européens.

Integrated development of rural India is one of the challenging tasks before the Government of India. Community Development Block is a rural area earmarked for administration and development. It is administered by a Block Development Officer. The block covers several gram panchayats, local administrative units at the village level. There are 6311 Community Development Blocks and 240,561 Gram Panchayats. As per census report, about 72.2 per cent of the population lives in 638,588 villages. India has travelled a considerable distance on the road to development since independence and has made significant progress in various sectors. However, new challenging demands have emerged calling for more integrated rural information. Acute shortage of basic facilities such as drinking water, medical support, education infrastructure is still felt in the face of over 27 per cent of rural population who are still facing poverty and essential sustenance. The Block Development Offices face daunting job of having to accelerate the development process and correct imbalances in tune with the wishes and aspirations of the rural people.The relevant more than 175 information about each C.D. BLOCK is given under the following Heads:BRIEF INTRODUCTION; CD BLOCK MAP; COMMUNICATION; RIVER; BACKWARD REGION GRANTS FUND; FOREST AND RESERVED FOREST; ANNUAL RAINFALL; GROUND WATER; COASTAL VILLAGES; BORDER VILLAGES; NATURAL DIVISION; ADMINISTRATION; FAIR; RANKING; GRAM PANCHAYAT; EDUCATION; MEDICAL; DRINKING WATER; BANK; ELECTRICITY; RECREATION FACILITIES; SCHEDULED CASTES; SCHEDULED TRIBES; LITERATES AND ILLITERATES; AGRICULTCURE; SOURCE OF IRRIGATION; IMPORTANT VILLAGES: DISTRIBUTION OF WORKERS; RELIGION; AGE-WISE DATA; LANGUAGES; DISABLED POPULATION.ZONE-WISE DISTRIBUTION OF VOLUMES: South: 1,2,3.Andhra Pradesh, 4.Karnataka, 5.
