Couverture rigide. Condition: Très bon. PREMIERES EDITIONS FRANCAISES du traité de MINERALOGIE et de l'HYDROLOGIE de WALLERIUS, traduites de l'allemand par le Baron D'HOLBACH ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- P., Durand, 1753, 2 volumes in 8 reliés en plen veau, dos ornés de fers dorés, tranches rouges (reliures de lépoque), (un coin très légèrement émoussé) ---- "Wallerius's Mineralogy, his first great work, was received as an outstanding handbook of contemporary knowledge ; never before had such a wealth of minerals been presented to systematically. Wallerius'clear and precise descriptions, which gave more weight to essential chemical properties than to exterior appearance, opened a new epoch in mineralogy. The book became widely known in Europe and served as a model for later works. In Hydrologia, Wallerius tried to classify different kinds of water.". (DSB XIV pp. 144/145) ---- Cole N° 1334 & Hoover collection N° 862 : "The first rational classification of minerals summarizing existing mineral knowledge using a system based on chemical composition as well as external characteristics. His approach issued a new epoch. The french translation by Baron d'Holbach, with some assistance by Bernard de Jussieu and G.F. Rouelle, was made from the german translation which Wallerius said was preferable to the swedish. Added is the Hydrologie which appeared first in swedish. The Hydrologie gives a methodical classification of waters on the basis of their properties and chemical analyses" ---- Partington III.
