BORDEU (Théophile de) Recherches sur les Eaux Minérales des Pyrénées. (Followed by) Lettres sur les Eaux Minérales du Béarn, addressed to Madame de Sorberio. Pau, Vignancour, 1833. 2 parts in one volume in-8: VIII, 104pp. / 168pp. (foxing as usual). ½ contemporary red chagrin, spine ribbed and decorated. The original edition of "Lettres contenant des Essais sur l'Histoire des Eaux-Minérales du Béarn, & de quelques-unes des Provinces Voisines, sur leur Nature, différence, propriété adressées à Mme de Sorberio à Pau en Béarn" is from Amsterdam, Poppé Frères and Montpellier, Gontier, 1746. There is a 2nd edition in 220pp. Published in 1748, then this one. Purely medical works are dealt with here. Neither the "Hommage à la vallée d'Ossau" nor the "Lettres à Mme de Sorbério sur les eaux Minérales", of particular interest to our region, are included. On the other hand, Richerand's note on Bordeu's life and publications is very complete and of great interest.
