Couverture rigide. "Très rare édition originale enrichie d'un manuscrit autographe de Lamarck | Maillard Chez l'Auteur Agasse | Paris An x (1802) | 12.8 x 20.4 cm | Relié | Edition originale, fort rare, de cet ouvrage important. Reliure en demi basane fauve mouchetée, dos lisse orné de triples filets dorés, pièce de titre de chagrin vert, petits coins de vélin, plats de papier marbré, ex-libris encollé sur un contreplat, tranches rouges, reliure moderne. Un manque comblé en marge gauche de la la page de titre. L'Hydrogéologie contient les observations géologiques de Lamarck recueillies pendant ses voyages en Allemagne, en Hongrie et en France. Son principal mérite est de montrer la grande importance des plantes et des animaux comme agents des transformations géologiques. C'est dans cet ouvrage que se trouve employé pour la première fois, à la page 8, le mot biologie, que Lamarck considère comme un terme approprié aux sciences de la vie. "Lamarck's geology was closely connected with his work in other fields. His Hydrogéologie, which grew out of a 1799 memoir presented to the Academy and his work in invertebrate paleontology, was published in 1802. He originally intended it to be a much broader work, as the manuscript shows () It was to have been a terrestrial physics including meteorology, geology, and biology, a term he coined. He had not only a sense of interrelation of fields but, within geology, a vision of the whole. He saw all of nature working according to similar principles : general natural tendencies producing gradual change over long periods of time, with local circumstances explaining the irregularities. His approach to geology was similar to that in other sciences : concern with the general principles and contempt for those who interested themselves too much with the specifics". Cf. Leslie J. Burlingame, notice "Lamarck", in : D.S.B. Précieux exemplaire, enrichi d'un manuscrit autographe de Lamarck de 6 lignes, inséré entre les pp. 56 et 57, donnant des précisions sur une maçonnerie antique découverte dans le département de la Somme, et attestant d'un tracé plus ancien du rivage : "L'abbaye de Valoir près de l'Authie dépt. de la Somme conserve encore dans ses fondations et ses caves les restes d'une maconnerie tres ancienne, soupconnée romaine, dans lesquels on voit les anneaux pour amarer les batimens marins et des eperons de vaisseau, accompagnés de beaucoup de petrifications ; ce qui prouve qu'alors c'etoit un quai ou arrivoient les eaux de la mer" (s.l.n.d., 1 p. in-16 oblong). Bel exemplaire. | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] First edition, very scarce, of this important work. Contemporary-style half speckled fawn calf binding, smooth spine decorated with triple gilt fillets, green shagreen title label, small vellum corners, marbled paper boards, bookplate pasted onto a pastedown, red edges, modern binding. A restored loss to the left margin of the title page. Hydrogéologie contains Lamarck's geological observations gathered during his travels in Germany, Hungary, and France. Its principal merit lies in demonstrating the considerable importance of plants and animals as agents of geological transformation. It is in this work that the word biology appears for the first time, on page 8, which Lamarck regarded as an appropriate term for the sciences of life. "Lamarck's geology was closely connected with his work in other fields. His Hydrogéologie, which grew out of a 1799 memoir presented to the Academy and his work in invertebrate paleontology, was published in 1802.

No binding. Condition: Very Good. Folio (390 x 290 mm.), full contemporary calf, blind panelled, rebacked with raised spines, each compartment with ornate gilt decoration, with red calf gilt title label affixed to the spine, original marbled endpapers, with title page trimmed and laid down, lacking Table, Avertissement trimmed lower right corner, frontispiece one table plate and 35 copper engraved maps, some water stain to Allemagne I, Turkey in Europe, East Indies and South America, all in early outline colour. A rarer later edition of Rigobert Bonne's 'Atlas Moderne' which was originally published in 1762. The original co-publisher Thomas Herissant is replaced by Nicolas-Auguste Delalain (d.1807) on the title page. Research indicates that there is no link between the imprints and the number of maps contained in the atlas. The 'Avertissement' states that the Abbe Nicolle de la Croix had desired an atlas to accompany his 'Geographie Moderne' which had been published in 1752. It goes on to state that this work partly meets in that it is arranged in the same manner, but many details have been added. The 'Avertissement' is extended with a further approbation signed by Marin dated 1771. However, eight of the maps bear later dates. Those of the world, Europe, France, Switzerland, Africa, and North America and South America are dated 1782. That of the American continent is dated 1783, both it and that of North America display 'Etats Unis', the newly formed United States of America. The map or Switzerland is replaced by another larger one omitting the three border panels. The advert of Lattre's works bound at the end of the atlas which previously was engraved is now on two typographic pages.Bonne (1727-95) was an engineer, mathematician and cartographer. He succeeded Jacques Nicolas Bellin as the hydrographer at the Depot de la Marine in 1773. Jean Lattre (d.1782) was the publisher of this edition. With maps by Bonne, Jean Janvier (1716-82) and Giovanni Antonio Rizzi-Zannoni (1736-1814). The maps are all an attractive quarto size with appealing colour. Over the years the atlas came to be issued in various formats in terms of quantity of maps. A particularly fine example. Provenance: with bookplate of the Galiffe family pasted inside upper board with by hand 'aex libris meis 1824 Ja. A. Galiffe' standing for Jaques (James) Augustin Galiffe (1776-1853).

No binding. Condition: Very Good. VERY GOOD EXAMPLE. Folio (390 x 280 mm.), contemporary quarter calf, marbled paper boards, spine with raised bands, compartments with ornate gilt decoration, with red calf gilt title label affixed to the spine, some professional repair to corners and spine. With ornate engraved title page, 'Avertissement' dated 1771, Table printed on two pages, and 73 copper engraved maps, all in particularly fine early outline colour, light stain to that of Lorraine, otherwise in good condition. The second rarer much expanded edition of Rigobert Bonne's 'Atlas Moderne' which was originally published in 1762 with 35 maps. The content is more than doubled to 73 consisting mainly of more regional maps. Several are dated 1771, and many are two sheet maps. The 'Avertissement' states that the Abbe Nicolle de la Croix had desired an atlas to accompany his 'Geographie Moderne' which had been published in 1752. It goes on to state that this work partly meets in that it is arranged in the same manner, but many details have been added. The 'Avertissement' is extended with a further approbation signed by Marin dated 1771. The 'Table' of maps now runs to both sides of the leaf and although still numbered to 36, include numerous maps of regions with the same numbering but lettered differently. The advert of Lattre's works bound at the end of the atlas is now on two pages. Not all examples of this edition contain the full compliment of maps. See the example in the Library of Congress for one.Bonne (1727-95) was an engineer, mathematician and cartographer. He succeeded Jacques Nicolas Bellin as the hydrographer at the Depot de la Marine in 1773. Jean Lattre (d.1782) was the publisher of this edition.

Quarto (255 x 207 mm); 22pp, 50 double-page or folding engraved maps, performed by Rigobert Bonne, the index numbered to 49, the British Isles numbered 17 bis; 23 letter-press tables, giving economic data, particularly for the Americas. 19th century half red morocco over marbled boards, five raised bands and gilt titling to spine. Some minor wear and darkening to spine, otherwise very good. [Paris or Geneva ?] The Raynal/Bonne atlas was one of the most popular and successful French atlases of its period, and the most confusing. It was intended to accompany Raynal's Historique Philosophique et Politique des Etablissemens et du Comerce dans les deux Indes ., 1778, but the atlas volumes appeared without a publisher's imprint. This version, one of a number of presumed French/Swiss printings, has the maps signed by Bonne, but none are signed by an engraver.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 268 pp. Contemporary full leather. Very Good. First Edition. INSCRIBED BY LAMARCK TO LAGRANGE: "Au Citoyen La Grange/ comme hommage de la haute et respectueuse considération/ de L'auteur." "Although Lamarck's geological views were not original (he was strongly influenced by Buffon and Daubenton, among others), they were an important part of his conception of nature. His preoccupation with marine fossil shells had a decisive influence on his choice of geological theories. Since such shells had to have been laid down in water, he needed a theory to explain how this was possible. As in his meteorology, he used the moon as the main cause, in this case of a constant slow progression of the oceans around the globe. The main geological force was water acting according to uniformitarian principles over millions of years. The substances of the mineral kingdom were produced by the progressive disintegration of organic remains; water operated on these products to produce geological formations such as mountains. Lamarck's uniformitarianism and great geological have led some to say that he was his own Lyell. Some historians have thought that Lamarck's perception of a slowly changing environment and the resulting necessity of organisms to change or become extinct (a possibility he could not accept) led him to his theory of evolution" (D.S.B. 7: 589). "Lamarck's little book did not even find a publisher, and the author printed the first and only edition of 1,025 copies at his own expense" (Albert V. Carozzi, Editor's Introduction, to his English translation of Lamarck's Hydrogeology, p. 1; the bill from the printer Agasse is illustrated on p. 2 as fig. 1). Norman 1263. Signed by Author(s).

Globe terrestre signé "Globe métrique. E. Bertaux éditeur. G. Thomas, Sucr". Le globe est donc datable entre 1904 et 1914. Il mesure 25cm de diamètre et environ 43cm de hauteur. Le globe à monture polaire est posé sur un pied en bois noirci tourné. Malgré un enfoncement dans la Sibérie et une cartographie de l'Empire Russe légèrement effacée, assez bon état pour ce globe à la cartographie encore bien colorée.

Grand globe terrestre de 50cm de diamètre signé "Globe terrestre 1m 60c circonférence par Ch. Larochette et L. Bonnefont. Médailles d'argent aux principales expositions. Edition Naud-Evrard. Institut géographique de Paris Ch. Delagrave". Le grand globe de 50cm est monté dans un cercle de laiton divisé en quatre fois 90 degrés, surmonté d'un disque horaire de cuivre divisé en deux fois douze heures et l'ensemble posé sur une table de laiton également divisée quatre fois 90 degrés supportée par trois arcs d'acier. Le tout reposant sur un fort pied en bois tourné. Le globe mesure environ 90dm de hauteur par 58cm de diamètre. En 1867, Charles Larochette et Louis Bonnefont réalisent un grand globe de 50 cm de diamètre destiné à l?enseignement : choisi pour incarner la qualité de la production géographique française, il est récompensé d?une médaille à l?Exposition universelle de Paris. Des réductions en seront réalisées et diffusées en France, souvent pour des utilisations pédagogiques. Le présent globe est donc l'un des plus grand commercialisé à l'époque. Ancienne cassure à l'équateur, restaurée sans manque ; quelques marques d'usures en particulier sur le continent asiatique mais sinon bon et bel état général pour ce globe assez rare.
