Full period binding, 5-ribbed spine, red title page, ornate caissons. Covers missing, traces of wetness on the boards, but overall good condition. A few scattered stains, including a black stain on one leaf, light spotting in the lower margin of half the volume. Fine but well readable writing. The 308 pages of the first part are in Latin, and include diagrams in the text. The following 206 pages are in French. The 5 folding plates represent 48 diagrams.
