Cadet de Vaux, [A. A. F.] - De la taupe. De ses moeurs et des moyens de la détruire.

Paris, Au Bureau du Journal d'Economie rurale et domestique, 1803. 8vo (18.3 x 11.5 cm). 248 pp., eight engraved plates. Later, partly 19th-century, wrappers. = Possibly the first monograph on the mole, with notes on its habits and habitats, ways to exterminate the animal, and insects found in and on mole burrows and dead moles, all (including the insects) finely engraved on eight plates that have been numbered in a seemingly random order, viz. 7, 3, 4, 1, 5, 2, 8, 6. The author is the French chemist-pharmacist Antoine-Alexis-François Cadet de Vaux (1743-1828), who published several works on wine, coffee, tobacco and other economically important agricultural products. Since this work contains much practical advice to the gardener, it must have been prone to wear and loss; unsurprisingly, the title page is lacking, and the work now has become rare. Binding weak. Internally quite clean. Not in Nissen ZBI.
