1618réf. BIBLIO-18290F.G. Levrault Strasbourg ; Le Normant Paris first edition thus 1816-1830. 60 vols 19th century cloth with red leather spine-panels small 8vo 20 cm. averaging approximately 550 pp per volume. A scarce set comprising the 60 text volumes of this massive and well-regarded work but without the 12 volumes of plates and one of portraits. Vastly expanded and revised from the 1804-06 edition which had run to 6 volumes only the Dictionnaire was under the general editorship of Frederic Cuvier and included contributions from many of the leading scientists of the day; the articles on physics and chemistry for example being written by Lacroix Fourcroy and Chevreul. A later plan to revise and update this 1816-1830 Dictionnaire progressed no further than the issue of a single supplementary volume A-Aye in 1840. An ex-library set with the text complete and in reasonable condition but many bindings in need of repair. Most volumes have wear with some loss to the head and tail of the spines and the majority have some rubbing to the leather spine-panel; subject to this about 38 volumes are Good about 14 volumes have one or both boards detached or are split along one or both joints and about 8 volumes have loss of part or all of the spines. Textblocks are all intact complete and generally Good save for some usually light foxing. Each title-page has a small old library stamp of the Geological Society and a manuscript inscription at the foot noting the Fund through which the volume was bought; each half-title has a small library mar; each front pastedown endpaper has a label setting out the library regulations and "Geological Society" is gilt-blocked at the foort of each spine. Overall Good for the contents save for the library marks and Fair for the bindings. F.G. Levrault, Strasbourg ; Le Normant, Paris, first edition thus, 1816-1830 hardcover
