---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "COURTIVRON contributed to the Academy's Description des Arts et Métiers by directing Etienne Jean Boucher in the writing of a treatise on forges and iron furnaces that incorporated material drawn from the papers and plates of REAUMUR and included a translation of SWEDENBORG's Minerale de ferro. Numerous examples of iron smelting practice and an explanation of the properties of iron in terms of STAHL's phlogiston theory offer an intimate view of eighteenth-century scientific practice".
