Uniamo anche ”Appendice du premier livre”, stampato nel 1830, di pp. 17 (sciupato). Questo importante trattato dell’arte di edificare, diviso in dieci libri che affrontano pressochè tutti gli aspetti della tecnica edilizia, è molto bene illustrato da complessive 209 (su 211) tavole più volte ripieg., inc. in rame da vari artisti. L'opera, molto accurata, analizza approfonditamente: I materiali edili in tutti i loro aspetti e comportamenti nelle differenti condizioni di impiego - La stereotomia (con cenni storici sull'utilizzo delle pietre da taglio) - Le tecniche murarie - L'impiego del legname (sia come elemento portante della costruzione che decorativo per le rifiniture interne ed esterne) - Le costruzioni in ferro (con una interessante sezione dedicata ai ponti in ferro a vista) - I diversi metodi di copertura degli edifici e la teoria delle costruzioni. Cfr. Cicognara,634: "Opera assai ben concepita ed eseguita, con vastità di cognizioni in ognuno dei rami relativi all'Architettura.. è forse la più ampia che abbracci tutte le utili pratiche per l'arte edificatoria" - Brunet,IV,1373: "La première édition de cet ouvrage capital a été publiée à Paris de 1802 à 1817 en 4 voll.". Con solo qualche lieve fiorit. ma certamente un buon esemplare con barbe.
