MICHAUX Francois Andre 1770 1855
The North American Sylva or a Description of Forest Trees of the United States Canada and Nova Scotia considered particularly with respect to their use in the Arts and their introduction into Commerce
Paris: Printed by C. d'Hautel 1819. 2 volumes octavo. 10 1/2 x 6 3/4 inches. 156 hand-finished colour-printed stipple-engraved plates after P.J. Redouté 27 P. Bessa 92 and others by Gabriel 108 Bessin 16 and others. Light foxing mostly to the text. Publisher's pink paper boards flat spines with black morocco lettering pieces. Provenance: Steven Longfellow signature in vols. 2-3; Henry W. Longfellow booklabels; autograph letter signed dated January 1853 to Longfellow from his sister Anne "I send you a keepsake from the Old House." First edition in English of Michaux's masterpiece and a classic of American natural history: the most important work relating to American trees published in the 19th century. With provenance to American poet Henry W. Longfellow. Michaux's work is based on his and his father's extensive travels in the eastern half of America from the 1790s on. Both men were friendly with Jefferson and other leading figures who aided them in their work and travels. The masterwork was first published in parts between 1810 and 1813 as Histoire des arbres forestiers de l'Amerique septentrionale. In 1817 Michaux began work on an English translation issuing a section of the text on oak trees believed to have been translated by Michaux himself with no plates which was then cancelled MacPhail 16. When the first edition in English was subsequently issued between 1817 and 1819 the first issue contained the text from the cancelled publication with the remainder of the text translated by Augustus L. Hillhouse of Connecticut. The subsequent issues contained the entire Hillhouse translation printed in Paris by C. D'Hautel and with page 112 numbered "112-136" to account for Hillhouse's translation being shorter than the previous as in the present set. The beautifully-executed images from the same plates in all three issues were executed by the engraver Gabriel and others after original drawings by the great French botanical artist Pierre-Joseph Redouté and his associate Pancrace Bessa. This third issue in two volumes is the most complete and accurate with corrections to plate numbers signatures and pagination. Of the issues containing the present Hillhouse translation Sabin writes: "Of the various editions with the text in English this notwithstanding some typographical errors is the best." And referring to Michaux's work with Thomas Nuttall's continuation Sabin continues: "It is no exaggeration to remark that it is the most complete work of its kind and is a production of unrivalled interest and beauty." Bennett p.76; MacPhail André & François-André Michaux 17c; Meisel III pp.379-81; cf. Oak Spring Sylva 20; Sabin 48694; cf. Savage André and François André Michaux Charlottesville 1986; Stafleu & Cowan III 5962. Printed by C. d'Hautel unknown

Fine. s.l. 1974 162x25cm 7 pages. - 42983 - FRENCH VERSION FOLLOWS Épreuves corrigées par Henri Michaux de son texte « Dans l'eau changeante des résonances » publié dans le numéro 22 des Cahiers du chemin daté d'octobre 1974. 7 pages avec des corrections autographes au stylo à bille et au crayon. Tampon de l'imprimerie Floch sur le premier feuillet. Michaux écrit « Dans l'eau changeante des résoÂnances » à la fin de sa vie et complète ses réflexions sur la musique ainsi évoquées dans Premières impresÂsions 1949 et Un certain phénomène qu'on appelle muÂsique 1958. Dans cette ode à la sanza modeste insÂtrument d'origine congolaise il explore les possibilités d'une musique vibrante qui investit l'espace et offre sa « texture » aux sens émerveillés de l'auditeur. Vouant une haine sans égale à la musique « de compétition de composition » occidentale il retrouve dans les simples sons de cet instrument rudimentaire une pureté soliÂtaire dynamique qui le réconcilie avec le genre entier qu'il avait laissé aux foules et aux « gens simples ». L'épreuve corrigée donne à voir les dernières modifiÂcations apportées par l'auteur : scansion du texte par de nouvelles virgules remplacement de certains mots ajout de majuscules à chaque insertion de poèmes dans le corps du texte - les poèmes agissant comme des descriptions sonores de son expérience musicale. Précieux témoignage génétique de la pensée de MiÂchaux sur la musique. unknown

Histoire des Chênes de l'Amérique ou descriptions et figures de toutes les espèces et variétés de Chênes de I'Amérique Septentrionale considérées sous les rapports de la Botanique de leur culture et de leur usage
Paris: de l'Imprimerie Crapelet 1801. Folio. 17 1/2 x 11 1/2 inches. Half-title. 36 copper-engraved plates after Pierre-Joseph Redouté 32 or Henri-Joseph Redouté 4 by Plée 33 or Sellier 3. Minor foxing. Twentieth century half green morocco and green cloth boards spine with raised bands in six compartments panelled and lettered in gilt marbled endpapers and edges The first edition Michaux's magisterial monograph on all the known species of North American Oaks illustrated by the best known botanical painter of all time. In this excellent and very beautiful monograph Michaux begins by giving an historical overview of the Oak before giving detailed descriptions of all the American species he had encountered. Starting with the Latin binomial he gives a brief description in botanical Latin Latin synonyms and the name in French and English. This is followed by notes on the trees height when full-grown and descriptions of the timber leaves flowers and its geographical distribution. The remainder of each entry is made up of Michaux's observations which concentrate on whether the tree is worth cultivating and if so for what reason. Thirty-two of the plates in this work are particularly striking early examples of the work of Pierre-Joseph Redouté the remaining four are after his brother Henri-Joseph. The classically understated line engraved plates allow the unerring sense of design of the master botanical painter to be fully appreciated. All of the main species are illustrated by one plate and a number by two. These second plates include acutely observed studies of young plants or details of leaves. "André Michaux was sent to America in 1785 by the French government which asked him to collect timber trees and plants useful as either food or medicine. Michaux. was accompanied by his young son François André and a gardener Paul Saulnier. A nursery garden was established in New Jersey not far from New York where Saulnier was to be in charge of a base for collections waiting to be sent back to Europe. During the next ten years thousands of trees were collected by Michaux on his travels to the southern Appalachians Spanish Florida the Bahamas and the Carolina mountains. These were taken to the royal nurseries at Rambouillet. but relatively few of the plants survived. A second Michaux nursery was established at Charleston South Carolina under the care of François André until 1790 when he went back to France to study medicine. Meanwhile his father traveled from Hudson's Bay to Florida and west to the Mississippi in his search for new plants. The elder Michaux returned to France in 1796" Oak Spring Sylva. Here he tried unsuccessfully to raise money from the government for further exploration of North America and eventually accepted a post on Baudin's expedition to Australia leaving France in October 1800. This was the last time that François André was to see his father he died in Madagascar in 1802 and the younger Michaux was left to see the present work through the presses. However he was more successful in getting official backing and visited America twice more: firstly from 1801 to 1803 and finally from 1806 to 1809.
