A very nice set. A mechanistic and scientific approach to dowsing and magnetism the first French book published on the subject. Here the author attempts to remove occultism from the practice by posturing that the circulating corpuscles of the human body communicate with underground water sources through the divining rod as an extension of the arms much like the eyes make use of microscopes and telescopes to see things unavailable to the naked eye. Vallemont goes on to suggest other applications of the divining rod such as locating dead bodies and rooting out fugitives. The fine illustrations show proper ways of holding the rod other dowsing equipment and divinatory charts. Volume II concludes with a catalog of successful dowsing excursions and a compilation of astrological charts that provide the correct conditions for finding specific things.

1692ref. 20068Paris 1692. Engraved headpiece and engraved vignette. Contemporary mottled calf hinges repaired spine and label gilt edges sprinkled red. Ownership inscription “Marelle fils ainé.” In excellent condition. First edition of this important and occult-leaning treatise on magnetism. In October 1690 a powerful storm damaged the cross-topped steeple of the Cathedral de Notre Dame in Chartres such that it had to be demolished and rebuilt. When it was taken down the iron cross was observed to be coated in rust making it a strong magnet that attracted the lightning of the storm essentially conducting Franklin’s kite and key experiment 60 years earlier. This phenomenon sparked pun intended Vallemont’s interest in magnets and their properties; this book focuses on the Chartres incident but also what it means in magnetic theory. He describes the magnetic field of the earth compass technology magnetic fluid under a microscope and experiments in attempting to magnetize objects. Towards the end of the text he applies magnetic theory to occult practice: using magnets to transmute metals perform necromancy and find the Philosopher’s Stone.
