‎Mémoire sur le laminage du plomb. Troisième édition.‎

‎A Paris, De l'Imprimerie de Jacques Guérin, 1746. With title-vignette and 3 engraved folding plates of machinery, signed Dheulland. 12, 78, (2) pp. 12mo. Modern boards. Kress S.3753; Goldsmiths 10754 (4th edition, 1771); Higgs 5215 (also the 4th edition); not in INED; not in Einaudi. First illustrated editon, preceded by two editions without illustrations. Pierre Remond de Sainte-Albine (1699-1778), collaborator of the journal l'Europe savante and later working for the Mercure; he was also member of the Berlin Academy.An effort on behalf of the author to overcome the resistance of craft guilds to the introduction of rolled lead sheeting for roofing and gutters. Rolled lead had been in use in the UK since 1670. But the first mill to produce this product in France was established only in 1729 and met with considerable resistance from the guild of plumbers. This pamphlet defends the advantages of rolled sheet versus cast lead and also goes into a good explanation of manufacturing techniques (all illustrated). The engraver of the plates is identified as Dheulland, presumably G. Dheulland who worked on Belidor's massive hydraulic architecture book. ‎
