Impressive cross-sections of shafts and images men at work in the processing halls and foundries make this one of the most visually compelling suites from Diderot’s Encyclopédie. However these are not only attractive depictions of eighteenth-century mining and Earth Sciences they are a comprehensive guide to the operation and construction of the machines and tools employed. Diderot and Goussier ‘the third Encyclopédist’ who together visited many factories and workshops around France and Europe meant the Encyclopédie as a textbook and as a way of propagating new ideas and methods. For instance one of the largest sections in this suite is devoted to the famous Pont-Péan lead mines in Brittany where innovative hydraulic machines had recently been installed. Further plates demonstrate the arts of underground surveying and geometry the renowned slate quarries of Anjoun and the refining of mercury copper gold tin zinc and cobalt. No other publication had devoted this amount of attention to the mechanical arts before and none did again until the mid-nineteenth-century. These images are of considerable significance now as one of few records of mining practices and the mining machines of the eighteenth-century particularly interesting because of their attention to detail and their useful cross-sections and disassemblies.To accompany the plates are many relevant text entries including the main articles for Mine Minéral Minéralogie Minéraux Métal and Métallurgie by Paul-Henri Thiry Baron d’Holbach a French-German philosophe and encyclopédist author of the renowned Système de la Nature ou Des Loix du Monde Physique et du Monde Moral 1780.D’Holbach contributed around four hundred articles to theEncyclopédie a number of which were translations of Germanphilosophical works.Another important paper is on Regne Minéral and is an abrigedversion of a work by Charles Le Roy a French physician and professor of medicine at Montpellier University.

‎Agriculture Fontainer Fountain-Maker. Encyclopédie ou dictionnaire raisonné des sciences des arts et des métiers. Plates vol. I.‎

‎Paris 1762. 32 pages of descriptive text & 4 loose plates. Slight browning tomargins a little spotting otherwise very good. § The 4 plates and descriptive text for the entry of Agriculture Fontainer from volume I of plates. Plates are numbered as 5 plans with 2 plans on sheet 2.27 pages 81-107 from volume VII of the Encyclopédie 1757 including Origine des fontaines Détermination de la quantité des vapeurs qiu s'élevent de la mer and La pénétration de l'eau pluviale dans les premieres couches de la terre1 page 349 from volume XV of the Encyclopédie 1765 including Sonde dont il se sert pour forer la terre & trouver les eaux3 pages 99-101 from volume III of the Supplément à l'Encyclopédie 1777 which includes Les fontaines des jardinsWith some browning to a few leaves.This suite of plates examines closely the eighteenth-century method of calculating the pressure required to produce a fountain with a certain height of water column. The plates demonstrate the complicated process of measuring the altitudes and gradients at which the water would fall through the pipes laid and the hydromechanics involved in devising a water container of the right shape and size. A further plate displays some popular fountain garden layouts.The plates are accompanied by a series of important and extensive articles on fountains. The first of these and the most substantial is by D'Alembert. Co-editor of the Encyclopédie he had already distinguished himself as a mathematician mechanician and physicist. D'Alembert's formula was named after him and one field which he had a great influence in was fluid mechanics. Here he expertly tackles the difficult topic of fountains and their creation examining the mathematics and physics involved.Following articles include Fontaines Artificielles by Antoine-Joseph Desallier D'Argenville who wrote around six hundred articles for the project mostly on gardening Diderot's Fontaine Domestiques and Jacques-François Blondel's description of fountains and their role in architecture. In all this set of articles includes contributions by some of the most distinguished of the many Encyclopédists. unknown‎

Of particular note are those on Antiquité by Edme Mallet Antiquité en architecture by Jacques-François Blondel and two articles on Antique one by Marc-Antoine Eidous.Although an abbot and primarily concerned with theology Mallet also wrote on history and literature. Having studied at the Barnabites College of Montargis Mallet became a key figure in the success of the Encyclopédie. Dying before the project was completed Mallet still managed to produce over a thousand articles. Although his views are often criticised as restricted and narrow-minded he acted as a safeguard for the project which could have been suspended if the religious articles had proved too controversial. His article on antiquities is a general overview whereas Blondel's contribution focuses on architecture. After studying with Gilles-Marie Oppenord Blondel earned a living as an engraver and writer. He became a well-regarded architect also publishing many of his lectures and contributing to major works such as Augustin-Charles d'Aviler's Cours d'Architecture 1737. Founder of the École des Arts he inspired many young architects such as his fellow encyclopédist Lucotte. Praised for his Traité de la Décoration des Edifices he was also an accomplished engraver of plates. He had already produced his own encyclopedia of architecture so was well-accustomed to the practises of the encyclopedist. With numerous creative abilities as displayed in his work at the Metz Cathedral he wrote nearly five hundred articles for the Encyclopédie. Marc-Antoine Eidous was a French writer and translator born in Marseilles. Despite his relatively basic education he was a tireless writer and translator focusing mainly on philosophy travel and agriculture. After serving as an engineer in the Spanish army he devoted much of his time to literature. Best known for his work on heraldry he contributed around 450 articles. His writing has been criticised for a lack of elegance but he gives a very clear summary of the antiquities in this entry.The plates include Greek and Roman architecture Judaic antiquities armour clothing furniture and many other subjects. Of particular note are the plates showing the Pantheon the Colosseum as it would have been when built and as a ruin the Arch of Constantine the Circus of Maxentius known as the Cirque de Caracalla until the 19th-century the forum in ruins Trajan's column before the bronze figure of St. Peter was added in 1587 and St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Also displayed are some items of jewellery and ceremonial dress alongside other ornaments.There are over twice as many plates in the supplement. The suite begins with a double plate of Noah's Ark and covers the Tower of Babel the Pyramids and the Sphinx at Giza. Further plates are plans and reconstructions of Palmyra Baalbeck and Athens before the extensive 19th-century excavations. These are followed by depictions of the Apotheosis of Homer by Archelaus of Priene Achilles's shield the Roman Cussy-la-Colonne and many types of decorated chairs and lamps. Indeed two pages are dedicated solely to different types of sandal. With large and attractive illustrations such as that of the catacombs in Naples these plates of classical antiquity are particularly pleasing. hardcover‎

Particularly interesting scenes show the large tobacco presses used and diagrams at the foot of each plate usefully display the other equipment and tools employed.Several articles from the letterpress volumes accompany this suite. These were contributed by Chevalier Louis de Jaucourt a polymath whose articles amount to around one quarter of the Encyclopédie and who turned his pen to almost any subject. Here he expertly tackles Tabac its natural history cultivation and manufacture. His other articles here deal more precisely with the gradients on which the plants are grown the shoots and offspring of the crop its sap and the buildings and tools used when processed. unknown‎
