1779K89BNAR73VU7Maastricht 1779. 8vo 22.5 x 13.5 cm. J.E. Dufour & P. Roux Contemporary decorated paper wrappers. 3 parts in 1 volume. 4 XXVII 1 232 pp. Very rare first edition printed in Maastricht of a mining manual by a French enlightened marquis who worked as chief librarian at the Hessen-Kassel court of Friedrich II 1720-1785. Although mentioned reference literature the book is very rare on the market and we found no copy in auction records. Luchet was an acquaintance of Voltaire and in fact had a letter of recommendation from him that helped him obtain his position at the Hessen-Kassel court. Luchet's other writings concerned literature and theatre which makes this mining manual a curious standout. It is unclear why this work was printed in Maastricht except that the Maastricht south Limburg region does have a long history of mining. In a lengthy discourse on mining in the preliminaries Luchet makes a strong pro-mining statement. This is followed by reflections on several aspects of mining often in a question and answer form. He goes into the medical consequences of mining and names several minerals and metals such as coal quartz lead tin gold silver copper and more.A second edition appeared in 1797 often bound with H.

Only Edition. Luchet believed “Good history is a long fable†p. iv tr. Immediately upon publication of this first volume of a projected five Luchet’s fanciful account of the history of Orléans and environs 52 B.C.E. to 1428 C.E. came under fire. He had manufactured personal information abandoned the facts cloven to the marvelous and doubted Jeanne d’Arc’s divine mission pp. 307-419.

Its preface summarizes Luchet’s History — “detestable in substance and form†tr. lists errors and sketches a damning biography of Luchet. One column of the manuscript chronology draws on Polluche’s Essais historiques sur Orléans 1778 and the other on articles in Calendrier historique d’Orléanois by the Orléans Maurist librarian Louis Fabre 1710-98.<br />       The longest and earliest inserted manuscript is A FIFTEEN-PAGE ESSAY UNFAVORABLE TO LUCHET’S HISTORY identifying still more inaccuracies nine concern Jeanne d’Arc. The Mémoire takes a statistical and economic perspective on Orléans its architecture and exports. Signed by Loiseau the Observations treats the by-laws of the new Orléans learned society born of the 1786 merger of two earlier groups.

This work is also considered a cornerstone book in any collection of photographic literature and photography's first fictional work see Roosens & Salu <em>History of Photography</em> No. 10421. <br /><br />Originally published in France in 1760 as <em>Giphantie</em> an anagram of the author's name this work is credited with one of the earliest mentions of photography in Chapter 17: "That window that vast horizon those thick clouds that raging sea are all but a picture. Thou knowest that the ways of light reflected from different bodies make a picture and paint the bodies upon all polished surfaces on the retina of the eye for instance on water on glass. The elementary spirits have studied to fix these transient images; they have composed a most subtile matter very viscous and proper to harden and dry by the help of which a picture is made in the twinkle of an eye. the impression of the images is made the first instant they are received on the canvas which is immediately carried away into some dark place; an hour after the subtile matter dries and you have a picture so much the more valuable as it cannot be imitated by art nor damaged by time" pages 95-96.<br /><br />Glenn Malkin began binding professionally in 2008 and has since won numerous awards for his design bindings in national and international competitions. Some foxing and other marking all pages uncut; bindings and solander very good. ESTC T99917; Gernsheim History of Photography p. 26. No jacket Robert Horsfield hardcover
