Clermont [-Ferrand], Landriot, An XIII (1805). 8vo. ix 459 [iii] pp.; two large, folding tables. Contemporary style half morocco over marbled boards. Spine with five raised bands and gilt title. Marbled endpapers. Speckled edges. = A rather rare work on the volcanos of Central France, published in the form of 45 letters. “L'abbé Paul-François Lacoste (1755-1826), né à Plaisance, près de Toulouse, est un naturaliste aujourd'hui presque oublié qui, il y a deux siècles, enseigna pendant une vingtaine d'années l'histoire naturelle à Clermont-Ferrand et fut le directeur du jardin botanique de cette ville. Il s'intéressa également aux volcans d'Auvergne auxquels il consacra deux ouvrages. Disciple d'Eugène Patrin (1742-1825), il adhéra, non sans quelque réticence, aux idées parfois extravagantes de celui-ci sur les volcans. [Paul-François Lacoste (1755-1826) was a priest who was born at Plaisance, near Toulouse. Presently almost forgotten, he has been teaching natural history in Clermont-Ferrand for twenty years and was additionally the director of the botanical garden of this city. He took also interest in the volcanoes of this province and published two books about them. As a follower of Eugène Patrin (1742-1825), he adhered not unreservedly to some of his somewhat extravagant ideas concerning volcanoes.]” (J. Gaudant in: Travaux du Comité français d'histoire de la géologie 18, 2003). Inscribed by the author on the half title, viz. a dedication to "Monsieur Richin, Architecte", Brown spot in the gutter of the first 60 pp.; otherwise, a good, complete copy. Ward & Carozzi, 1306.
