Second edition.
A new edition by Claude Antoine Jombert, who had just acquired the original copperplates from the descendants of the architect.
Antoine Desgodetz was sent to Rome, where he stayed for sixteen months in 1676–1677, to survey and measure ancient monuments with great precision. The purpose was well conceived, as he had already observed discrepancies in the dimensions—and thus the proportions—given in classical works on the subject.
The result was a work of obvious utility and great beauty: Desgodetz’s drawings were engraved by excellent artists, including Louis de Chastillon, Nicolas Guérard, and Jean and Pierre Lepautre. Each plate is accompanied by a facing descriptive notice specifying the measurements of the various elements and pointing out the errors in earlier treatises.
The work was justly admired and underwent several reissues. It is all the more surprising to learn that, unlike most ancient treatises, it has not lost its value: even today’s archaeologists—far more demanding than the amateurs of the past—still recognize its accuracy and usefulness.

A complete copy, with all 137 required plates.

First edition.
Collection of three memoirs presented by Antoine Deparcieux (1703-1768) to the Academy of Sciences. In 1762, Deparcieux proposed a project to bring the waters of the Yvette River to Paris to alleviate the lack of drinking water in the capital. He envisioned capturing the water upstream from Gif-sur-Yvette and transporting it to Paris via an aqueduct approximately 30 kilometers long, ending near the Observatory. Despite its proven technical feasibility and the support of figures such as Voltaire, the project was never realized, mainly due to financial constraints and a lack of political will during the reign of Louis XV. After his death, the project was taken up by his great-nephew, but still without success. It was only several decades later that Parisians were finally supplied with drinking water thanks to the construction of the Ourcq Canal to the north of Paris, and then even later, by the Vanne aqueduct, which follows part of the route studied by Deparcieux to the south of the Paris region.
