Second edition of this important work, which in 1764 was awarded the Prix de l'Académie royale des Belles-Lettres, Sciences & Arts de Bordeaux. It was thanks to the influence of Turgot, then Intendant of Limoges, that Cabanis published his work; the economist and agronomist were in contact, at the time, for the introduction of Merinos in France. A good copy. (Musset-Pathay, Bibliographie agronomique, 641).
