Vallemont, Pierre le Lorrain de, abb6 (1649-1721) 
Curiositez de la nature et de I’art sur la vegetation, 
ou 1‘Agriculture et le jardinage dans leur perfection. 
Paris, Claude Cellier, 1705. 708 p. (Arn. Arb.; Bib. 
Nat. Paris; Rothamsted) 
Cat. Bib. Nat. gives name as ”Le Lorrain de 
Vallemont (Abbe Pierre).” 
Pritzel, 1st ed., gives collation of 332 p. 
As later editions are often described as 2 pts. 
with separate paging, it may be that Pritzel 
had seen only the first part of the work. 
Rothamsted Cat., p.288, says this was first 
published in 1703, which seems very improbable. 
The “Approbation” in the Dept, Agr. copy of the 
1711 ed. is dated “Paris ce 24. de Fevrier 1705”; 
and Seguier, p.398, cites a review of the 1st ed. 
in Journ. des SJavans, May 1706. 
CT'-— Bruxelles, Jean Leonard, 1708. (Seguier,p.398; 
Pritzel, 1st ed.; Miltitz, col.295) 
Pritzel describes this as in 2 v,, but Leche- 
valier. Cat.66, item 2508, has advertised copy 
with 479 p., and Quaritch, Cat.409, item 1323, 
has offered one apparently consisting of 1 v. 
-- Paris, J. Moreau, 1708. 2 pts. in 1 v. (Cat.
