ROZIER (François). Cours complet d'agriculture théorique, pratique, économique et de médecine rurale et vétérinaire ; suivi d'une Méthode pour étudier l'agriculture par principes : ou Dictionnaire universel d'agriculture. A vast encyclopaedia of agricultural knowledge from the late 18th century by the agronomist François Rozier (1734-1793), illustrated with numerous engraved plates showing flowers, plants, animals and agricultural machinery. Paris, published by Libraires Associés in 1793 (volumes 1 to 8) and by Moutardier in 1801 (volume 9) and 1802 (volume 10). 10 vol. in-4, brown marbled basane, guilloche ribbed spines, gilt fleurons to the entrenerfs, fawn and green leather title-pieces, guilloche headpieces, gold fillet on the edges, red edges. Contemporary binding. Approximately 500 pages per volume, 241 engraved plates hors-texte, including 17 fold-outs, 4 title vignettes (volumes 9 to 12), some fold-out tables. Text on two columns. Some jaws slightly cracked, some headpieces faded or missing, rare and light spotting, a few wormholes. Very rare and very slight brown spotting, a few pages dog-eared in the corners. Monumental encyclopaedia by the agronomist François Rozier (1734-1793), compiling methodically and alphabetically all the agricultural knowledge of the late 18th century: cultivation of cereals, vines and fruit trees, soil improvement, animal husbandry and veterinary care, domestic economics and estate management. It is illustrated with 241 plates showing flowers, plants, animals and agricultural machinery. The tenth volume, devoted almost entirely to vines and wine, was written by Chaptal, Parmentier, Biot, Thouin and Lasteyrie and published after the author's death. Without the frontispiece or the two volumes of supplements published in 1805. [Brunet IV, 1442]. Abbé Rozier was a pioneer in the field of agriculture, notably by developing new agronomic methods to increase yields and encouraging farmers to use chemical fertilisers to improve the soil. His work contributed to the creation of an agricultural movement in France that encouraged innovation and the modernisation of French agriculture. A very fine copy, well established in its original state.
