In-4, xvi-330-[1] pp. half marbled basane, smooth spine decorated, title page (period binding, restored).

This second edition has 2 fewer maps than the first. One of the finest early books on the Pyrenees. Born in Oloron in 1745, PALASSOU first studied with the Jesuits in Pau, then as a philosophy student in Bordeaux. He went to Paris to study science, where he met Lavoisier and Guettard. The government commissioned him to collect the materials needed to draw up the mineralogical map of France. From then on, he surveyed the Pyrenees and gathered data for this "Essai". He called on the engineer Flamichon, author of the "Théorie de la Terre", for the iconography. He was later appointed a corresponding member of the Académie des Sciences. (Labarère 1134.) Ex-libris from the library of M. Augustin Viault. The author's name "Par M. L'abbé Palasseau(sic)" has been added by hand, formerly in ink, to the title. A handwritten note on the facing page (from the 19th c.) states: "given by the author in 1787" and is followed by a list of a work to be procured and various notes (measurements) relating to the Pyrenees range. A fine copy.
