HACHETTE (Jean Nicolas Pierre) Elementary Treatise on Machines. Paris; Saint Petersburg, Klostermann fils, n.d. [1811]. Quarto, paperback: XIX, (1), 306 pp.; 28 fold-out plates at the end (12 pl. + VI + 7 pl. + 3 suppl. (A–C)). Copy with full margins. Softcover with a plain old-pink protective dust jacket. A rare first edition of this scientific anthology on mechanics, offering a synthesis of the knowledge of the time on hydraulic machines, windmills, fans, fire- and steam-powered machines, gear-driven machines, and turbines… Hachette is considered the principal successor to Gaspard Monge, whom he replaced at the École Polytechnique. His famous students included Poisson, Arago, and Fresnel.
