[ABEILLE (Louis-Paul)] and [J. G. MONTAUDOUIN DE LA TOUCHE]. Collection of Observations by the Society of Agriculture, Commerce, and the Arts, established by the Estates of Brittany. Years 1759 and 1760. Rennes, Jacques Vatar, 1760. One in-8 volume, in period marbled full calf, decorated ribbed spine, central coat of arms. VIII, 392 pp., (4) ff. One loose plate; water stain at the bottom of the volume. 2 plates (including one of a beehive) and 3 engraved headbands. Published under the auspices of the Society of Agriculture, Commerce, and the Arts of the States of Brittany, founded in 1757, this collection brings together observations and treatises devoted to the province’s agriculture, manufacturing, commerce, and natural resources: cereal cultivation, flax, papermaking, beekeeping, herring and sardine fisheries, as well as ways to improve agricultural techniques and trade. Written primarily by the economist Louis-Paul Abeille (1719–1807) and the Nantes merchant Jean-Gabriel Montaudouin de La Touche (1722–1780), it reflects the influence of physiocratic ideas and the economic concerns that preceded the French Revolution. Bound with the coat of arms of the States of Brittany.
