Henri-Louis DUHAMEL DU MONCEAU (1700-1782) physicien, botaniste et agronome. Traité des arbres et arbustes qui se cultivent en France en pleine terre (Paris, H.-L. Guérin et L.-F. Delatour, 1755), tome II seul, avec ADDITIONS et CORRECTIONS autographes ; in-4 avec planches gravées, couverture cartonnée usagée., EXEMPLAIRE DE TRAVAIL ABONDAMMENT ANNOTE, CORRIGE ET COMPLETE DE CET IMPORTANT TRAITE D`ARBORICULTURE, truffé de plus de 90 feuillets de notes ou additions, dont plusieurs avec DESSINS ; ces feuillets sont pour la plupart intercalés ou collés à l`endroit des sujets traités, d`autres glissés en tête ou à la fin du livre. On a aussi porté de nombreuses additions, notes et corrections sur une centaine de pages de texte ou au dos des planches., Tome II seul de ce traité en deux tomes, incomplet des feuillets de faux-titre et titre et des 3 dernières pages de la table des matières, mais bien complet des 114 planches (dont 3 dépliantes) gravées sur bois, utilisant les bois gravés au XVIe siècle pour l`herbier de Mattioli., La plupart des additions sont de la main de Duhamel du Monceau, d`autres de la main d`un collaborateur, probablement son frère Alexandre DUHAMEL DE DENAINVILLIERS (1697-1775), à qui est adressée une lettre M. de Bregançon sur le bois de mûrier (1758), et qui dresse une liste d`échantillons à demander à MALESHERBES, ainsi qu`une longue description détaillée de pins (avec dessins)., En tête, Duhamel du Monceau a collé une note avec croquis sur le treuil utilisé par M. de Corbeille pour relever les arbres fruitiers abattus par le vent. Le Traité s`ouvre par une description du magnolia ; on a intercalé deux beaux dessins à la mine de plomb et un double feuillet de notes d`après le botaniste écossais Philip Miller : “ Miller décrit quatre especes de Magnolia. 1. Magn. Lauri folio subtus albicante Catesby. (Je crois que c`est là le Bleu). 2. Magn. Absissima, flore ingenti candido Catesby. - Ces deux sont dans le Tr. des Arbr. et Arb. […] Le n° 4 est rare en Angleterre, et dans l`Amérique même. On en trouve au Nord de la rivière de Susquehannah : je n`ai pas pu découvrir ce nom dans la carte de la Caroline “. L`article “ Magnolia “ est aussi annoté sur le livre même : “ M. de Fontenette qui a esté longtems medecin a la Louisiane m`a dit que le bois du Laurier tulipier estait fort dur et bon a bruler mais qu`il pourit promptement quand on l`expose a l`humidité “, etc. L`article suivant, consacré au pommier, porte en marge de la liste de 12 espèces : “ Les fleurs du pommier n° 4 [pommier de Virginie à fleurs odorantes] pendent à de longues queues elles ressemblent beaucoup à celles du bigarreautier. Elles sont d`un rouge tendre fort agréable et repandent une odeur très gracieuse. Le fruit n`a aucun merite. Il y a chez M. le chevalier de Janssen un pommier reçu de Virginie qui ne quitte point ses feuilles et dont les fleurs sont odorantes “… Etc. Les notes se réfèrent très souvent aux travaux de Miller, de Linné, de Tournefort, de Clayton…, On notera en particulier des feuillets ajoutés concernant le Menispermum, le Mespilus (nefflier, avec croquis), le Molle, le Morus (mûrier), le Nux (noyer), le Paliurus, le Pin, le Platane, le Populus (peuplier), le “ Pseudo-Acacia “, le Ptelea (avec dessin), le Pyrus (poirier, avec dessin), le Quercus (chêne, avec feuilles de chêne collées), les Rhamnoïdes, le Rhis (vinaigrier), le Rosier, la Sabina, le Salix (saule, plus un imprimé joint), la Siliqua (caroubier), le Smilax, le Sorbus (sorbier), la Spiræa (notes et dessins sur la Spirea de Tartarie), le Taxus, le Terbinthus, le Tilleul, le Toxicodendron, le Viburnum (viorne), l`Uva-ursi (busserolle), le Yucca… À la fin du livre, des notes concernent le Nyssa et le Psoralea (avec dessin) : “ Le psoralea est un joli arbrisseau. Ses feuilles sont formées de trois foliolles portées par une queue assez longue deux sont attachées à cette queue sans en avoir qui lui soyent propre celle du milieu en a une qui lui apartient. Les feuilles sont posées alternativement sur les branches “… etc.
