1745réf. 51842Paris February 10 1745. Scientific Instruments for New France An entertaining letter written in 1745 by French minister Jean-Frédéric Phélypeaux Comte de Maurepas to scientist Henri-Louis Duhamel du Monceau at Versailles requesting on behalf of Gilles Hocquart the Intendant of New France in Canada that new thermometers and other scientific instruments be sent to Quebec. The author notes that although the old thermometers were graded to measure temperatures down to -15° on the Réaumur scale it had in fact only recently been -27° or -28°. Even if the thermometers had been able to measure temperatures that low according to Maurepas the cold had caused the measuring liquid inside the instruments to separate permanently rendering them useless in any event. He therefore asks that four new Réaumur thermometers capable of measuring down to -35° be sent along with several astronomical instruments for making navigational observations. Previously folded. Two small holes along folds of blank leaf. Light foxing and tanning. Very good. unknown
