A propos de cet article

8vo, pp. xi, [1 (blank)], 402; very occasional marginal marks, but clean and fresh throughout; a very good copy, uncut and partly unopened, in the original printed yellow wrappers, spine reinforced with drab paper; extremities frayed in places, slight staining to upper cover.Uncommon first edition of this comprehensive report on the best means of reversing the deforestation of the mountains of Lombardy in a way that would be both environmentally sustainable and economically profitable. Meguscher (elsewhere Megušar, Megušer, or Megusher, 1792–1879) was a pioneering conservationist and expert in forestry expert from Železniki in Slovenia; he studied at Ljubljana and Zagreb before serving as chief forestry inspector at Innsbruck and forestry adviser for Tyrol (based in Trento). He was the author of Sul miglior Sistema di coltura dei boschi (1833), for which he was awarded a prize from the Florentine Accademia dei Georgofili, as well as Il governo de' boschi combinato con la tutela de' monti (1837). Learned societies in Italy, such as the Lombard Institute of Sciences, Letters, and Arts, were increasingly concerned from the late eighteenth century onwards about environmental matters in the light of floods and droughts that had affected the region. The Lombard Institute, for its 1844 biennial essay prize, sought responses to how best to replace the forests on deforested mountains in upper Lombardy, and to conserve and benefit from them. Twenty-five entries were received, including two that became books: the present work, and one by Pietro Caimi, also published by the Institute in the same year. Meguscher here examines the ways in which forestry is useful in supplying building materials and fuel, while also noting that the existence of forests affects local weather patterns and acts as a means of limiting flooding of towns and agricultural land below. He goes on to describe the best way of planting, the different trees appropriate to the landscape, the ways in which each type should be maintained, and the use of the trees, with notes on the carbon content of different woods, and the use of resins. Outside continental Europe, OCLC and Library Hub find copies at five institutions in the US (Florida, Harvard, Illinois, Michigan State, Wisconsin), and three in the UK (Geological Society, Royal Society, Senate House).
