PATULLO Henry. "ESSAI SUR L'AMELIORATION DES TERRES". 1758, Paris, Durand. 1 volume in-12° (169x100 mm) (dimensions pages 163x91 mm) XII pp. (frontispice et épître à M.me de Pompadour), 284 pp., 2 ff. (approbation), 3 planches dépliantes sur cuivre. Reliure de l'époque en veau havane marbré. Dos lisse avec fleurons et décorations dorés et pièce de titre en maroquin citron. Filet doré sur les coupes. Tranches rouges. Gardes de papier décoré. Edition Originale. Très petit manque de papier en marge du titre, sans atteinte au texte. Très bel exemplaire. Disciple et ami de Quesnay, Patullo insiste dans son Essai sur les articles Grains et Fermiers de ce dernier, mais également reproduit la partie inédite de son article Homme, traitant de la liberté du commerce des grains. Cependant le livre ne touche que pour une part à l'économie politique : il est aussi un traité d'économie rurale à l'anglaise. "Patullo croit en la révolution des techniques par la littérature agronomique plus que par l'action gouvernementale; il préconise l'accroissement de la production d'herbe et de fourrages, une succession complexe des cultures, le remembrement des terres, etc. Ce projet de <nouvelle agriculture> devait être repris par Duhamel de Monceau" (A. Jammes). Grâce au patronage de Quesnay, l'ouvrage fut dédicacé à Mme de Pompadour, dédicace rédigée par Marmontel bien que signée par Patullo.
