Traité phisique et microscopique de l'asbeste, l'amiante, le lin de pierre ou de terre, et de quelques autres fossiles qui y ont du rapport. Nuremberg: A.W. Winterschmidt, 1775. 6 hand-coloured engraved plates by Winterschmidt after the author.
Together 2 works in one volume, the first in 3 parts plus supplement, 4° (249 x 195mm). Contemporary French red morocco, covers with triple gilt fillets, gilt spine compartments with lettering-piece in one, the rest with repeated fleuron enclosed by smaller ornaments, marbled endpapers, gilt edges (lightly rubbed). Provenance: M. Nicolls (signature on front blank).
SPLENDID COPY OF THE FIRST EDITION IN FRENCH. Ledermuller’s classic work was first published in 1763 as Mikroskopische Gemuths- und Augenergötzungen. Two frontispieces were engraved for the first two parts, but that to the second part seems to have been omitted from most copies as here. There are 50 plates to each part, most showing objects under the microscope. The supplement, which is often missing, includes an addition to the main work which is on the ‘mouche de chambre’ or house fly, brilliantly portrayed in one of the two plates. First edition in French of the short Traité phisique et microscopique which may be regarded as a further supplement. A BEAUTIFULLY HAND-COLOURED, ELEGANTLY BOUND COPY. Nissen BBI 1156; NLM/Blake p.261; Stafleu and Cowan 4288; Wellcome III, 472.
