Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Fourth Edition. 12mo, xxxix + pp52 plus hand-coloured engraved frontis of a Beta hybrida. Hardcover no dust jacket. Binding of leather spine, covered in cloth strip, over marbled boards in reasonably good condition with two old sticker marks to front board, "seed trial dept" stamp to front board and rubbing to both boards.

The Mangel Wurzel or the Rhineland was also known as Dick Ruben (the Great Turnip), Dick Wurzel (the Great Root) and Mangel Wurzel. A mistranslation had changed the original German "mangold wurzel" or "root of the beet", into "mangel wurzel", meaning "scarcity root". It might, indeed, be called the Root of Abundance", due to its ability to thrive in harsh conditions and produce a large crop. In his monograph, de Commerell remarks, "it deserves to obtain a decided preference over all other roots, and even over turnips". A nice copy of a scarce book.…

Cartonnage à la bradel en plei. Condizione: Dos très légèrement insolé, si. Grenoble, Imprimerie Royale, 1786. In-4 - 23,7 x 19 cm. [1] feuillet de titre, 15 pages paginées. Cartonnage à la bradel en pleine papier gris bleu, dos lisse orné d'une pièce de titre en chagrin bleu souligné de doubles filets dorés. Rare édition, non répertoriée, absente du Catalogue collectif de France. Les bibliographies spécialisées et le catalogue de la BnF recensent pour 1786 trois éditions de cet ouvrage, toutes à adresse parisienne ou messine, et dont aucune ne correspond à la présente. La seule édition connue à 15 pages est une édition abrégée publiée à Paris par l'Imprimerie royale en 1788. Provenance : Les deux ex-libris encollés sur le premier contre-plat ? grand format (116 × 74 mm) et petit format (40 × 40 mm), tous deux indiqués par Germaine Meyer-Noirel dans son Répertoire général des ex-libris français (n° C 1779 et C 2154) ? sont ceux de Paul Couturier de Royas (Vienne, 1853 ? La Tronche, 1934), l'un des plus grands bibliophiles du Dauphiné. Sa démarche bibliophilique est clairement guidée par le souci de l'exhaustivité, alliant l'intérêt propre de l'ouvrage avec la qualité des exemplaires. La présence de cet exemplaire dans sa bibliothèque s'explique aisément : imprimé à Grenoble, il relevait à la fois de son intérêt pour l'histoire et la production intellectuelle du Dauphiné, et de sa recherche systématique des éditions provinciales. La présence du grand et du petit ex-libris sur un même exemplaire est caractéristique de cette collection, qui demeura dans la descendance jusqu'à sa dispersion dans les années 1970. Dos très légèrement insolé, sinon bel exemplaire de cette rare édition grenobloise. L'abbé de Commerell (mort en 1799), agronome d'origine allemande, aumônier de la princesse de L?wenstein et correspondant de la Société royale des sciences et des arts de Metz, fit connaître en France les avantages de la betterave champêtre ? variété fourragère de la Beta vulgaris, cultivée alors exclusivement en Allemagne pour la nourriture des bestiaux. Son instruction connut six éditions de 1786 à 1788 et fut traduite en anglais dès 1788 sous le titre An Account of the culture and use of the mangel wurzel (Londres, C. Dilly).…

Ownership inscription, Jenkins, in an old hand to title-page. One of many works by the industrious Quaker philanthropist and physician John Coakley Lettsom (17441815), translated by him from the original French of the Abbé de Commerell. 'Alongside botany, fossils, and natural history, another subject in which Lettsom interested himself was scientific agriculture. He was involved in the introduction of the mangel-wurzel, first brought to notice by Sir Richard Jebb in 1786. Lettsom translated a pamphlet on the subject (An Account of the Mangel-wurzel, or Root of Scarcity, from the French of the Abbé de Commerell, 1787); he grew the seed himself and imported a large quantity, which he distributed to farmers and others in Britain as well as in Europe, America, and the West Indies.'

Farquhar, M.D., on title; Kenneth Garth Huston bookplate. v Third edition of a translation by John Coakley Lettsom originally published the same year.

Henrey 556 (also II, 297-98); Fussell II, p. 130; Perkins 374 (2nd ed) Mangels were used extensively as fodder for livestock. They are mentioned frequently in George Orwell's Animal Farm.…

Third edition. xxxix, [1], 51pp, [1]. With a hand-coloured engraved plate. Uncut, stitched, as issued, in original publisher's blue paper wrappers. Without spine panel, lightly marked, a trifle spotted. The third edition, printed in the same year as the first, of this translation into English of the agronomist Abbe de Commerell's (d. 1799) monograph on the propagation and benefits of the Mangelwurzel, a variety of edible root vegetable predominantly used as fodder for domesticated livestock. The translator, physician John Coakley Lettsom (1744-1815), was first made ware of the pamphlet by Sir Richard Jebb (bap. 1729, d. 1787) in 1786 and immediately began importing and growing large quantities of seed which he distributed to farmers in Britain, Europe, America, and the West Indies. This third edition is notable for the inclusion of a hand-coloured engraved plate depicting the root not present in earlier printings. ESTC N30320. Size: 8vo.…

Softcover. Condizione: New. Reprint. Language: English. Approximately 86 pages. English: Print-on-demand reprint. Original edition : 1787. Text in English. This comprehensive treatise by Abbé de Commerell explores the cultivation, agricultural techniques, and practical applications of the mangelwurzel (Beta vulgaris var. vulgaris), a root crop of considerable importance in 18th-century European farming. The work details soil preparation, planting methods, and harvesting practices, while also examining the economic and nutritional value of this versatile vegetable. Particularly valuable for historians of agriculture, botanists, and scholars of rural life, this text provides a window into pre-industrial agricultural methods and the role of root crops in sustaining rural economies. The author's observations on the mangelwurzel's adaptability to different soil types and climates make this a significant contribution to early agricultural science. Book images are non-contractual.
