Regnault announced here that he has found experimental evidence for the approximate nature of Dulong & Petit's Law for both elements and compounds.""His first results on the specific heat of solids were presented to the Academy of Sciences on April 3, 1840. One finds there the first experimental demonstration of the approximate law of Dulong and Petit, which had been ypothesized, rather than established, by these physicists. For 24 pure elements, Regnault demonstrated that this law was only partially true mostly because there was no accepted table of atomic weights at that time."" (Laurie Dahlberg)

First edition of the so-called ""Le Petit marot"". There seems not to be any standard collation of the work as copies in libraries varies a lot in relation to the number of plates. (Lewine's Bibliography lists engr. title and 106 (sometimes 111) plates).""Little has survived of his own architectural work, but his engravings of the works of others, primarily those published in the volumes referred to as the Petit Marot (c. 1654) and the Grand Marot (c. 1670), were highly esteemed by his contemporaries and remain among the most important sources concerning architecture in France up to the early part of the reign of Louis XIV.

First printing of an importent memoir in hydraulics in which Petit-Vandin demonstrated that - contrary to the long held belief that float-boards on water-mills ought to be so proportioned, that when one of them was in vertical position, or at the middle of its immersion, the next one should be just entering the water - the more float-boards such a wheel has, the greater and more uniform will be the effects.
