Not in Sinkankas et Hoover.First edition.Claude Léopold Genneté (1706-1782), physicist to the Empress of Austria, set out in this work his theory that "les veines de charbon sont formées par un suc bitumineux qui distille du roc". The layers would therefore have the capacity to renew themselves over several decades.This theory was later refuted by Buffon: "M. Genneté est peut-être de tous les minéralogistes celui qui a donné les meilleurs renseignements pour l'exploitation des mines de charbon, (.) mais sa théorie. d'exposer, ne me paraît tirée que d'un fait particulier, dont il ne fallait pas faire un principe général."The engraved plates show geological formations, while the table shows the courses of the formations. "des principaux fleuves des quatre parties du monde connu".Handwritten bookplate on verso of the end paper.

Second edition, preceded by the rare Paris edition of 1759. An important work on chimneys and their ventilation, surveying "the latest technology on making chimneys draw properly and preventing smoke in rooms" (Deborah Howard, William Adam, Architectural Society of Scotland, 1990; who also notes that James Adam acquired a copy in Belgium "at the start of his own Grand Tour"). The plates show elevations, sections, plans and details of chimneys, chimney-cowls and fittings for chimneys and flues. Genneté (1706-1782) was very thorough in his research, even visiting the collieries in the vicinity of Liège. He wrote widely on other technological subjects, perhaps his most important contribution to social life being Purification de l'air croupissant dans les hopitaux, les prisons, et les vaisseaux de mer (Nancy: Leclerc, 1767). Kress 5857 (this edition). Small octavo (172 x 98 mm). 13 folding copperplates (complete). Contemporary cat's paw sheep sometime sympathetically restored at foot with imitation panel, spine gilt tooled with floriate motifs, red morocco label, all edges red, attractive Italian floral endpapers. Contemporary armorial bookplate of the marchese di Salza (either Giovanni Domenico Berio d. 1791 or Francesco Maria Berio 1765-1820) and that of William Ward (1750-1823), 3rd viscount Dudley and Ward (on rear pastedown); neat small Selbourne Library stamp on title verso and margins of a few leaves (Hugh Selbourne, doctor and bibliophile). A little wear to extremities, some light browning otherwise a very good copy, with the terminal advertisement leaf.

Paris, Michel Lambert, 1759. In-12 de XXIV, 141, (1) pages et XIII planches repliées ; demi-veau marbré de l'époque, dos lisse orné, pièce de titre de maroquin rouge. Rare première édition de ce traité technique. Claude Léopold Genneté, physicien - fumiste de l'Empereur d'Allemagne 18 ème siècle se fit connaître pour des inventions utiles. Il s'était proposé de résoudre le problème d'une cheminée qui ne fumait pas et fit un grand nombre d'expériences, allant jusqu'à étudier le mécanisme de la circulation de l'air dans les houillères du pays de Liège. Il ne lui suffit pas de pourvoir aux moyens d'empêcher la fumée, il voulut donner à ses cheminées d'autres avantages, comme celui de pouvoir étouffer le feu, quand il prend, de l'y allumer promptement, de conserver la chaleur etc. Une seconde édition, beaucoup plus courante, parue l'année suivante en 1760. Bel exemplaire. Seconde garde volante blanche découpée en tête de l'ouvrage.
