An exceptional copy. ---- FIRST EDITION. "The Cristallographie ranks as one of the great contributions to the science of crystals. In it Romé de l'Isle attempted to make a comprehensive classification of crystals. By the time he wrote this volume, he was extremely familiar with the subject, and this work greatly supassed all previous works in scope and detail. To apply his classification, he adopted a morphological approach in which he attempted to relate the diverse forms of crystals of the same substance. As a general morphological concept he introduced the idea of the "primitive form." All crystals of the same inorganic substance, no matter how different in appearance had a fundemental and common geometrical form-the primative form-to which their actual crystal shapes related. The justification for this idea was derived from the previous work of Carl Linneaus who had tried to expain the genesis of minerals by means of an analogy with the procreation of living creatures, and classified cystals by the similarities of their crystallized forms. In this first edition of the Cristallographie, Romé de l'Isle identifies 110 crystal forms by which minerals crystallize. Grouped under each of these shapes are described the minerals that exhibit similar habit, including the approximate angles between crystal faces. These forms were all derived form a common saline ingrediaent in every mineral that worked at a molecular level. Although he believes that these primitive forms existed, it is never made clear how they should be defined for any group of crystals" (Mineralogical Record Bibliography).

Encuadernación de tapa dura. Condition: Muy bien. In-4. XXXXV, [3], 214, [1]p. 4 folding tables. Bound in original 3/4 brown calf marbled boards. French chronographer born on August 29, 1736 in Gray and died on March 7, 1790 in Paris. He studied humanities at the College of Ste. Barbe in Paris. At the age of twenty he entered the Royal Artillery and Engineering Corps, and left for the French Indies, staying in Pondicherry from 1758 to 1761. On this last date he was taken prisoner by the English and taken to China, where he spent three years. Upon returning to Paris in 1764, he devoted himself to the study of natural sciences and published two years later a work on freshwater polyps. But Romé soon became more fond of the topics of mineralogy. He had known and attended chemistry courses taught by the chemist and mineralist B. G. Sage. On his recommendation, Romé was in charge of drawing up the catalog of Pedro Franco Dávila's collections in 1767. This work, entitled Systematic and reasoned Catalog of curiosities of nature and art, published in Paris that same year, contained, together with the text of the three volumes, which compose it, thirty plates referring to crustaceans, mollusks and other animals, but also rocks, since Dávila, in accordance with the conception of the cabinets of the time, collected minerals, medals, coins and many other objects. All went to the Cabinet of Natural History in Madrid, of which Dávila would later be appointed director. In the second volume, following Linnaeus, Romé stressed the importance of the crystalline form of minerals. Among the works devoted to establishing equivalences between the different measurement systems, that of Romé de l'Isle is one of the most peculiar for its method and, surely, one of those that had a more unfortunate fate because the month after it was published the French Revolution, which modified the interest in the matter of systems of measures to the adoption of a unified system since Tayllerand proposed in 1790 its adoption by law to combat feudal prerogatives in the determination and management of the transformations between measures in the purchase- sale and taxes. The peculiarity of its content comes from its author was a mineralogist and applied to his research the use of scientific calculation. Codbos.

Ejemplar limpio, sin marcas, anotaciones ni subrayados.- // Proc.: Exlibris encolado en contraplano delantero, 'Collection Serres Toulouse'.- // Refs.: No en Goldsmiths?-Kress.- // Entre las obras dedicadas a establecer equivalencias entre los diferentes sistemas de medidas, la de Romé de l'Isle es de las más peculiares por su método y, seguramente, una de las que tuvo un destino más aciago porque al mes siguiente de publicarse sobrevino la Revolución francesa, que modificó el interés en materia de sistemas de medidas al de la adopción de un sistema unificado desde que Tayllerand propusiera en 1790 su adopción por Ley para combatir las prerrogativas feudales en la determinación y gestión de las transformaciones entre medidas en la compra-venta y los impuestos. La peculiaridad de su contenido procede de su autor era mineralogista y aplicó a su investigación el empleo del cálculo científico. En efecto, Romé de l'Isle, que con apenas 20 años se había enrolado para labores administrativas en un barco del ejército francés que fue apresado en la India durante la guerra de los siete años contra Inglaterra, no regresó a Francia hasta 1764, tras haber pasado los años anteriores desplazándose por Asia. Cuando regresó lo hizo con una buena colección de minerales y curiosidades naturales y comenzó a estudiar ciencias con el entonces joven químico y mineralogista parisino Balthazar Georges Sage. A este acudió el comerciante y naturalista aficionado Pedro Franco Dávila con el fin de encargarle la redacción del catálogo de la colección de piezas que componían su gabinete de curiosidades que deseaba regalar al rey de España y Sage, poco interesado, le recomendó a Romé de l'Isle, quien se hizo cargo de su redacción(1). Estando realizando ese trabajo Romé de l'Isle trabó amistad con Abraham Joseph Michelet, seigneur d'Ennery, a su vez gran coleccionista de monedas, que le propuso alojarle y mantenerle en su domicilio. Con las espaldas así cubiertas, Romé continuó estudiando y describiendo colecciones de minerales (entre otras la suya propia), observación constante que le llevó a publicar, en 1772, el Essai de cristallographie que le dio celebridad internacional y le situó como uno de los fundadores de esta rama de la geología. Una labor que remató años después con su monumental Cristallographie, ou Description des formes propres à tous les corps du regne minéral, Dans l'état de Combinaison saline, pierreuse ou métallique en cuatro volúmenes, que tuvo dos ediciones el mismo año de 1783. El mecenas d'Ennery falleció en 1787 y Romé murió en 1790, pero el año anterior publicó, con el mismo editor de su extraordinaria Cristalografía, esta que ofrecemos, su última obra. Sobre su origen, Romé dijo que había medido y pesado todas las piezas de la colección de medallas y monedas de d?Ennery para ayudar a las personas que estaban preparando su catálogo y que, al hacerlo, se le ocurrió que, para determinar correctamente la equivalencia de los valores entre las monedas antiguas y las modernas, se debería acudi.
