Small inconsequential tears to ends of joints and spine backstrip creases and chafing minor scuffing to boards but AN ESPECIALLY FINE COPY the insubstantial unsophisticated binding entirely solid and with very little soiling and the interior REMARKABLY CLEAN FRESH AND BRIGHT.<br/> <br/> With a suite of 22 illustrations this comprehensive work on sheep husbandry "Instructions for Shepherds and Flock Owners" is offered here in a remarkably well-preserved fully contemporary copy in its original fragile paper boards. Our author anatomist and naturalist Louis Jean-Marie Daubenton 1716-1800 had collaborated with Buffon on his "Histoire Naturelle" for which he provided anatomical descriptions of 182 quadrupeds earning as a result a reputation as an expert in comparative anatomy. In the present work first published in 1782 he focuses on sheep a subject in which he had a vested interest having introduced the Merino breed to France in an effort to improve the country's wool industry. The text covers all aspects of sheep breeding anatomy and husbandry and is accompanied by engravings of cheerful shepherds at their work the processing of wool dissected sheep organs and related images. These are attractively rendered offering visual appeal as well as scientific and agricultural data. Our third edition the first published following Daubenton's death includes an introductory biography by Étienne de Lacépède which he had delivered as a speech at the National Museum of Natural History. While "Instruction Pour les Bergers" appears in the market with some regularity the present exceptionally bright wide-margined partly unopened copy in contemporary boards is an unusually appealing copy of this work.
