1806AMO-2638A Paris, chez Galland, 1806 [i.e. 1803] [de l'imprimerie de Langlois]. 1 volume in-8 (21 x 13 cm) de XII-(2)-309-(3) pages. 8 planches hors-texte. Édition originale française. Il s'agit bien ici de la première édition française publiée à Paris chez Meurant à la date de 1803 (an XI), remise en vente par le libraire Galland avec un nouveau titre à la date de 1806. Soit que le libraire Meurant aura fait faillite ou que le stock ne se vendait pas. Cet ouvrage a paru pour la première fois en anglais sous le titre : National Irrigation, or The Various Methods of Watering Meadows; Affording Means to Increase the Populations, Wealth, and Revenue of the Kingdom, by an Agricultural, Commercial, and General Economy in the Use of Water. (London, Carpenter, 1801). L'édition française a été remaniée par le traducteur français. Reliure de l'époque demi-veau caramel mou, dos lisse richement orné de filets et palettes dorés, pièce de titre de maroquin rouge, plats de papier jaune. Petite galerie de vers au mors (partie inférieure du premier plat), sinon exemplaire très bien conservé. Intérieur parfait. L'auteur passe en revue les différents moyens d'irrigation des terres dans les pays comme l'Amérique, l'Angleterre, l'Espagne, et la France. L'irrigation naturelle des prairies par les ruisseaux et les rivières précèdent les moyens artificiels (machines) alors proposés. William Tatham (1752-1819) est né en Angleterre (County of Cumberland). En 1769, il s'embarque à 16 ans pour la Virginie (Amériques) pour y étudier le commerce du tabac. Pendant la révolution il va suivre des études de droit en Caroline du Nord (admis en 1784). Il participe à la fondation de la ville de Lumberton en Caroline du Nord (1787). C'est durant cette période qu'il étudie et s'intéresse de très près à la construction des canaux d'irrigation, à la cartographie, etc. En 1796 il retourne en Angleterre et y restera 8 années. C'est durant cette période qu'il écrira plusieurs ouvrages relatifs à l'agriculture, au commerce, à l'architecture, etc. L'ouvrage qui lui valut la renommée est An Historical and Practical Essay on the Culture and Commerce of Tobacco (London, 1800). Il revient aux états-unis en Virginie. A 60 ans il part pour Washington où il est ingénieur topographique au ministère de la guerre jusqu'en 1815. La maladie le gagne rapidement. Grand collectionneur depuis des années, il doit se résigner à vendre sa collection de cartes géographiques et autres documents historiques. Tatham se suicide sur la place du Capitole de Richmond (il se place devant un canon qui tire en l'honneur de Washington). Il ne s'est jamais marié et n'a eu aucun enfant. Quel destin ! Bel exemplaire de cet ouvrage utile à l'agriculture et peu commun.

A work of considerable charm and interest and despite some faults as mentioned a remarkable set in original unsophisticated state. Simeon Ackroyd Shaw 1785 - 1859 was a 19th-century English scientific writer industrial historian and teacher. He spent his working life in the Staffordshire Potteries now the city of Stoke-on-Trent England. Shaw originated in Lancashire and as a young man he arrived in the Potteries to work on the Potteries Gazette and Newcastle-under-Lyme Advertiser newspaper. After some 20 years of newspaper and printing work living in Wolstanton he then went into teaching. He ran several teaching academies in the district. His first book was this 6-volume work which was based on his obviously very comprehensive series of popular short lectures on everything from natural species to meteorites. First Edition. Boards. Good. Printed for Sir Richard Phillips Hardcover

At an early age he was enrolled among the Franciscan Observantines at Mantua. For many years he held the chairs of philosophy theology and canon law and became successively guardian custos and minister of his province.

During this period he was twice imprisoned by the Turks. In 1620 he returned to Europe but in 1625 was back in Jerusalem whence the following year he addressed from the Holy Sepulchre an appeal to Philip IV of Spain inviting him to reconquer the Holy Land and at the same time dedicating to him his work "Hierosolymæ afflictæ". Between 1616 and 1626 he wrote his classical work "Elucidatio terræ Sanctæ" adjudged by the learned a monumental contribution to history geography archæology Biblical and moral science.

In 1629 he went to Italy to render an account to the Holy See of the state of the Eastern Churches; he then returned to the East but how long he remained is not known.
