Couverture rigide. Etat : Bon. Edition originale. In-8° relié plein veau raciné de l'époque, coiffes légèrement émoussées, XL-724 pages - An interesting treatise on chronic illnesses, focussing mostly on dropsy, providing a variety of solutions and advice for doctors treating dropsy. In this work, the author discusses treating dropsy in pregnant women, chest dropsy with inflammation, dropsy with a fever, dropsy after the milk effusion, dropsy with ulcers in the legs, dropsy of chest with palmations, dropsy with tuberculosis engorgements, and many more useful problems that may be encountered when treating dropsy. Dropsy is the archaic term for edema, an accumulation of fluid in the interstitium, which causes a lot of pain. It is often found in the feet, ankles, and lower legs. The author, Georges-Frederic Bacher, had become famous for inventing tonic pills for the treatment of dropsy. He sold the formula to the Crown. Bacher was the Doctor-Regent of the Faculty of Medicine of Paris. A French medical work on the treatment of dropsy.

16 Seiten, ein Übersichtsplan und 20 doppelseitige Tafeln, 42,5 x 54 cm, Kunstleder. Die grossformatigen Tafeln dieses Plans können zu einem Vogelschaubild von 245 x 326 cm zusammengesetzt werden. Bretez hat die Stadt Strasse für Strasse vermessen und jedes Haus in die kunstvoll gestaltete Karte uebertragen. Diese zeigt die Metropole in ihrem fast noch mittelalterlichen Zustand mit dichten Häuserhaufen, alten Kirchen, gepflegten Hofgärten und Stadtresidenzen, aber noch ohne die Boulevards, die prächtigen Stadtplätze und die dominierenden Prachtbauten der franzoesischen Klassik. Als Ludwig XIV. 1649 die Residenz nach Versailles verlegt hatte, blieben die wenige Jahre zuvor begonnenen Um- und Neubauten am Louvre rund hundert Jahre lang schutzlos und ohne Daecher liegen. Die insgesamt zwanzig Tafeln zeigen in nicht überlappenden isometrischen Darstellungen die französische Hauptstadt in der Sicht von Südwesten. Der Plan Turgot hat den Maßstab von ca. 1:400. In originalgetreuer Wiedergabe sind die Gebäude, die Straßen und Plätze sowie die Gärten und Parkanlagen der Stadt zu sehen. Jede Tafel besteht aus einem rechteckigen Bild von 50 cm Höhe und 80 Zentimeter Breite, das im Atlas in der Mitte gefaltet ist. Der Atlas umfasst das Gebiet der heutigen ersten 11 Arrondissements von Paris.

Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Etat : FINE. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. First Edition. xiv, 349pp. + B/W frontispiece portraits of all five prophets. 8vo, sewn binding in green cloth, black stamped lettering. Exceedingly clean and sharp with fresh pages and tight binding; DJ price clipped,a bit toned and rubbed around the edges. 'A study of five French thinkers and a school - friends, disciples, enemies whose works evoke the image of a new age of prophecy. Tur-got, Condorcet, Saint-Simon and the Saint-Simonians, Fourier, and Comte form an unbroken chain of intellectual transmission from the Enlightenment through the first half of the nineteenth century. These men were crisis phil-osophers, system-makers, moralists, magnificent obsessives intoxicated with the future. Mr. Manuel has combined psychological portraiture with philosophical and historical analysis. His fresh reading of underestimated thinkers is based on manuscripts as well as more familiar sources, suggesting new insights. Historians of Marxism will be particularly interested in his interpretation of the social doctrines and philosophies of history; Freudians in his exploration of new attitudes toward love among the Saint-Simonians, Fourier, and Comte; scientists in his description of the imaginative projects of Turgot and Condorcet; students of the varieties of religious experience in his treatment of the Saint-Simonian cult and the Positivist religion. (From the DJ flap.) 'Each of these figures is ac corded a highly sophisticated and compact biographical treat- ment and subsequently personal details are appropriately in jected into the unfolding tale of the intellectual contribution of the thinker. As Professor Manuel proceeds, he compares and contrasts the thinker of the chapter with the men already intro- duced and foreshadows the approaching 'prophet.' The historical context in which the prophets lived is expertly insinuated; so, too, the historical impact of the five men on the thought and practice of our own age. If Professor Manuel's plan appears highly ambitious, it must be immediately stated that its execu tion has been eminently successful.' (Donald J. Harvey review in Political Science Quarterly).

Le 4 août, Louis XVI appelle au Contrôle général Turgot (1727-1781) ancien Intendant de la Généralité de Limoges où il succède à l'abbé Terray. Turgot n'a jamais participé directement au gouvernement mais ses idées financière et économique très libérales, son hostilité au parlement et son désir de réformes profondes sont bien connues. Dès le 13 septembre il fait prendre un arrêt rétablissant la liberté du commerce des grains à l'intérieur du royaume. En mai 1775, la révolte des blés amenuise son crédit déjà détérioré par l'opposition, des parlements, de la cour et du clergé, à celui qui est perçu comme représentant les savants et philosophes dont il favorise les projets. En 1776, l'opposition se déchaîne, les financiers se doutent que Turgot veut supprimer la gabelle et casser ensuite le bail de la ferme. Le projet de reconnaissance civile des protestants a indigné le clergé ; le projet de réforme de la Maison du roi a soulevé toute la cour ; Turgot sera renvoyé le 12 mai.

Folio. (21 5/8 x 17 1/2 inches). Folding index map and outsize perspective plan on 20 sheets by Claude Lucas after Louis Bretez, sheets 18 and 19 joined as issued, decorative engraved border with fleur-de-lis cornerpieces, title in elaborate figural cartouche. Contemporary calf, boards gilt, borders with fleur-de-lis at corners, gilt Arms of Paris on front board, spine gilt in compartments, gilt edges, red morocco labels, marbled endpapers. A fine copy of the first edition of the monumental Turgot plan of Paris: a cartographical tour-de-force. The best eighteenth-century plan of Paris, and among the most impressive of all city plans. The twenty sheets of this impressive atlas form a single enormous plan, which when joined is approximately 8.25 x 10.5 feet. The map covers an area corresponding to the first eleven of the modern-day arrondissements and is the best eighteenth-century plan of Paris. In 1734, Michel-Étienne Turgot, chief of the municipality of Paris, to promote the reputation of his city, commissioned a new map of the city. He asked Louis Bretez, member of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture and professor of perspective, to draw up the plan of Paris and its suburbs. As Turgot requested a faithful map with great accuracy, for two years Bretez was allowed to enter into the mansions, houses, and gardens of the city to take precise measurements. In the eighteenth century, the trend was to abandon the Renaissance-style portraits of cities for geometric plans, as technically and mathematically superior. The Turgot plan, however, on an isometric projection oriented toward the southeast, uses a system of perspective cavalière: two buildings of the same size are represented by two drawings of the same size, whether the buildings are close or distant. The effect is a mesmerizing bird's-eye view which shows the city in all its magnificence. Claude Lucas, engraver of the Royal Academy of Sciences, masterfully engraved the plan, which was published between 1739 and 1740. The map was bound in elegant volumes and offered to the King, the members of the Academy, the Municipality, and important visiting dignitaries. Berlin Katalog 2506.

Hardcover. Etat : Very good. First. A VAST MAP OF A VANISHED PARIS. [Paris?: no publisher, 1739-1740]. First edition. Folio (21 5/8" x 17 5/16", 550mm x 439mm): with 21 engraved double-page plates: a key map and 20 sectional maps (with sections 18 and 19, splitting the cartouche, already joined and folding). Bound in contemporary (publisher's?) mottled calf, with the arms of Paris gilt to the center of each board. Gilt border (fleur-de-lys alternating with palmettes within several rolls) to both boards, with fleur-de-lys corner-pieces. On the spine, nine raise bands, with fleurs-de-lys gilt to each panel. Title gilt to red morocco in the second panel. Gilt roll to the edges of the boards, carrying over into the inside dentelle. Marbled end-papers. All edges of the text-block gilt. Tail restored, with modern tooling. Restored patch to the front board. Some darkening and cracking to the borders and edges of the boards, and scuffing to the spine. Occasional soiling or small closed edge-tears. Altogether very good. Michel-Étienne Turgot (1690-1751), Marquess of Sousmont and the de facto mayor of Paris -- Prévôt des marchands or merchants' provost -- from 1729 to 1740 is best remembered for his commissioning of a plan of the city unlike any that preceded it. Its scale -- over 8' tall and 10' wide -- and precision (rendered at a scale of ca. 1:400) are almost incalculable. Turgot commissioned Louis Bretez (â1737) to resurvey the city, giving him leave to enter structures and estates to carry out detailed measurements and drawings -- a task that took fully two years. This was a project of civil pride rather than necessity, and so of course it gained a great many supporters and sponsors at a great rate, whose names appear in the cartouche after Turgot's: Henry Millon, Exquier Con.er du Roi, Quartinier, Philippes le Fort, Ex.er Jean Claude Fauconnet de Vildé, Ec.er Con.er du Roi, et de la Ville, Acovat en la Cour Expéditionnaire de Cour de Rome; Claude Augustin Josset, Ex.er Con.er du Roi Acovat en la Cour Expédit.re de Cour de Rome; Echevins de la Ville de Paris Antoine Moriau, Ec.er Procureur et Avocat du Roi, et de la Ville, Jean Baptiste Julien Taitbout, Chevalier de l'Ordre du Roi, Greffier en Chef, Jacques Boucot, Chevalier de l'Ordre du Roi, Receveur. With such endorsements and access, Bretez and his engraver Claude Lucas have created an intimate portrait of a vanished city; the destruction of the Revolution and the rebuilding of Hausmann under Napoleon III would fundamentally reshape the City of Light.

James de Rothschild. 2312; Cohen 807. It is composed of one plan of combination and of 20 engraved plates on double-page (800 x 515 mm) representing the capital, house by house, in a panoramic view. « We propose by making this engraved map to show at a glance all the buildings and all the streets of Paris » informed the editor. "This bird's eye map, the widest of this sort ever tackled, is known under the improper designation of 'Plan de Turgot'. It is composed (besides the map of combination) of twenty leaves that, altogether, form five ranks. Each leave as a surround of 79 centim. large on 50 high. The twenty assembled leaves thus form a square of about 316 centim. on 245, excluding the margin. This surface would bother more than one Parisian amateur, whose allocation is way too narrow to have it in its cabinet. The engraved title is at the bottom of the leaves 18 and 19, in the middle of a cartouche with a very circumvented shape, surrounded with volutes and topped with the allegorical figure of the city of Paris resting on her shield. This map takes usually the form of a large folio atlas; each leaf, printed on thick paper, is folded in two and glued on guard. It is said that most copies were bound at the time with more or less luxury, to be distributed for free, with no doubt, to distinguished figures; all sheepskin or Levant morocco bindings are decorated in their center with the arms of Paris. Some copies were printed with wide margins. This map ends the series of bird's eye maps, and if, after this period, we still see some of those published, it would be older maps, copied or refreshed. Louis Bretez, who drew it around 1734, derogated the generally admitted custom of positioning maps according to the noon mark, because, willing to give of Paris an image in front view, he had to prefer, with the model of previous geographers, a system that would allow to see in front view the gates of our ancient churches, so numerous still, churches that, for the most part, had their facades directed westward. It is deplorable that the map, as it was conceived, wasn't created on an earlier date at least from a century. It would have been, because of its dimensions, of a much higher interest for the archaeologists of today. The drawing ordered by Turgot was achieved in 1734; it represents thus the state of Paris at this time. Claude Lucas, who engraved it, is probably the one who worked on the maps of the districts of La Caille, 1714, or perhaps his son. The choice that was made of a bird's eye map must have led to huge costs? The image of Paris represented here still offers, I say it again, a big appeal and documentation for archaeology. The few number of ancient buildings that have survived is so quickly diminishing, day by day, or is suffering from strange metamorphoses with the hideous mask of replastering, so much that the Paris of Turgot, threatened by our thousands of projects of alignment and expansion, will soon have to be called, in turn, the 'old Paris' [?]. (A. Bonnardot, Etudes archéologiques sur les anciens plans de Paris, pp. 199-203). These plates, remarkably engraved, show in a vivid way the former layout, in perspective, of the Parisian sites, residences and monuments. Copy printed on thick paper, illustrated with brilliant proofs, preserved in a binding by Padeloup with the arms of Paris. The title is engraved in the center of a blending of two plates. (1600 x 540 mm).

Folio (56.4 x 45.4 cm). Folding overview map, 20 double-page maps engraved by Claude Lucas after Bretez including 1-16 numbered in the plate, plates 18 and 19 joined and folded. Contemporary red morocco gilt, covers with gilt borders, gilt arms of Paris to covers, fleur-de-lys to corners, spine in ten compartments, gilt lettered direct in second, others with fleur-de-lys tooling, raised bands, a very attractive example. Turgot's celebrated plan of Paris during the reign of Louis XV - a fine, fresh copy attractively bound in full morocco. Michel-Etienne Turgot (1690-1751), Louis XV's Prévot des Marchands, commissioned this plan in 1734 from Louis Bretez, a sculptor, painter and perspective specialist, who used the conventional bird's-eye representation (isometric projection). The stunning result shows maps with great and decorative details, being an important record of the architecture and gardens of Baroque Paris, the world capital at the time. This was the last major example of this type of plan. Michel-Etienne Turgot was chief of the municipality of Paris as provost of merchants (the equivalent of today's mayor). He is the father of the famous economist and statesman Anne-Robert-Jacques Turgot, which history has remembered as an early advocate for economic liberalism. What motivated Michel-Etienne Turgot to commission a map of Paris was his will to promulgate the reputation of the city for Parisian, provincial or foreign elites. That is why he asked Louis Bretez (c. 16. - Paris, 1736), a French architect, cartographer and professor of perspective who belonged to the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture, to draw up the plan of Paris and its suburbs. Over his two years of work (1734-1736), Bretez was granted access to all the houses and gardens he needed to visit in order to take the relevant measurements. The 21 sheets of the plan were created in 1736 by Claude Lucas, engraver of the Royal Academy of Sciences. The plan was published in 1739, and the prints were bound in volumes offered to the King, the members of the Academy and the Municipality. Additional copies were kept to be used as representations of France to foreigners. The 21 engraved brass plates are held by the Chalcography of the Louvre, where they are still used for re-printing based on the same techniques as almost three centuries ago. Millard 39.

Folio (22 x 17 4/8 inches). Fine folding engraved key map, and 20 double-page engraved sheets that combine to make one exceptionally large plan of Paris (ca 98 inches x 127 inches) by Claude Lucas after Louis Bretez (sheets 18 and 19, with the title cartouche, joined and folding) (a bit browned throughout). Contemporary red morocco gilt, each cover decorated with broad gilt borders of fleur-de-lis and palm frond roll tools, with large fleur-de-lis at each inner corner, and with a fine central gilt medallion of the arms of the city of Paris, the spine in ten compartments with nine raised bands, red morocco lettering-piece in one, the others decorated with fine gilt tools, all edges gilt (rebacked preserving most of the original spine, some restoration to corners). Provenance: with the ownership inscription of "Pen: Wyndham" (Henry Penruddocke Wyndham, (17361819)), topographer on the verso of the front free endpaper. A MAGNIFICENT AND DETAILED PLAN OF PARIS: AN ISOMETRIC PERSPECTIVE FROM THE SOUTHEAST COMPOSED OF 20 SEPARATE ENGRAVED SHEETS. The area covered by this extraordinary map includes roughly the first eleven arrondissements of modern Paris, and is a fine and beautiful representation of the capital before the transformation made to the city by Napoleon III and Haussmann. At the time of this survey France, and so Paris, was effectively being ruled, with King Louis XV's assent, by Cardinal de Fleury. From 1726 until Fleury's death in 1743 was the most peaceful and prosperous part of the reign of Louis XV. After the financial turmoil and human suffering at the end of the reign of Louis XIV, the rule of Fleury is seen by many historians as a period of recovery. He stabilized the French currency, balanced the budget, and made economic expansion a central goal of the government. Communications were improved with the completion of the Saint-Quentin canal (linking the Oise and Somme rivers) in 1738, later extended to the Escaut River and the Low Countries and the systematic building of a national road network. By the middle of the 18th century, France had the most modern and extensive road network in the world. In this map, avenues, streets, and individual buildings, gardens, lumber and boatyards are all shown with exquisite accuracy, as the official surveyor, Louis Bretez, was given carte blanche to enter private property to record the finest details between 1734 and 1736. He was commissioned by Turgot, as the then head of the Paris municipality, to create this stunning image of Paris, to promote to the great and the good at home and abroad. Bretez, was a member of the Academy of Painting and Sculpture and a teacher of perspective. Claude Lucas, a member of the Academy of Sciences, engraved the plates in 1836. In 1739 the prints were bound in volumes presented to the King, members of the Academy, the Municipality, and French envoys abroad, to promote the beauty and magnificence of Paris. From the distinguished library of Pen Wyndham, who as a young man travelled extensively in Europe: "with his relation Joseph Wyndham, and William Benson Earle of Salisbury, Wyndham set out on the grand tour in 1765. Theirs was not the usual party of very young men with a tutor. Pen Wyndham was by this time twenty-nine and had already demonstrated some learning as an antiquary. After leaving England in September, the party visited France, Italy, and Sicily, and returned via Geneva and the Netherlands to reach England in September 1767. Pen Wyndham's letters to his father (now in the Wiltshire and Swindon Record Office, Trowbridge) show him very critical of much of what he saw. As well as the normal litany of complaints about the inns, food, and predations of the local people, he showed the family whig traits by complaining about the despotic rulers of the lands he passed through, and compared the poverty and ignorance of their people with the happy freedoms of the British. He enjoyed seeing John Wilkes at Dijon and was in Rome at the time of.

Print. A vintage print of the simplified, general overview map of the 1739 Turgot map of Paris. In 1734, Michel-Etienne Turgot, then mayor of Paris, contracted Louis Bretez to draw up a plan of Paris and its suburbs. Bretez was given permission to enter all the mansions, houses, and gardens in Paris, in order to gain accurate measurements for his drawings. It would take two years. Claude Lucas then engraved the 21 copper plates of the plan in 1736 and an atlas of 20 detailed isometric projection aerial-view maps depicting every building in Paris and one overview map was published in 1739. The simplified general map gives an overview of the sectional maps and indicates their locations in a 4 x 5 grid. This print on offer was printed from the original plates, late 1800s to early 1900s. Image size: 32 x 24 inches. Paper size: 35.25 x 24.75 inches, on thick laid paper, with plate-embossed marks visible to the back. Condition: Light tanning overall, roughing to the edges, and a moisture stain to the back which isn't visible on the front; image is fine. The print has been stored rolled for many years. Will be mailed rolled in a heavy card tube and shipped the next business day after payment is received.
