Description

Belidor,B.F.de.
Le bombardier Francois, ou nouvelle methode de jetter les bombes avec preacision.
(The bombardier Francois, or new method of jetting the bombs with precision)
Paris, Impr. Royale; 1731
Size 9 by 11.5"
With engraved frontispiece and 8 folded copper plates
3 lv, XLI pp., 1 leaf, 366 pp.
Original brown marbled calf, gold-embossed spine title label and rich ornamental gilding, colored marbled endpapers;
red colored edges, wide margins
First edition.
Some wear of binding, very good interior
"But even more important than this work (Cours de mathematique ...) was Belidor's writing, Le Bombardier Francais, for weapons theory.
The work consists of a treatise on throwing bombs and one on fireworks and ammunition.
Belidor's tables (here p. 1-272) were the result not of theoretical calculations, but of practical experiments in which the author "distinguished himself outstandingly" (Jahns).
