About This Item
XXXIV, 246 pp.French translation of a pioneering ecological treatise and one of the earliest scientific studies on noxious wood insects. It was first published in German as Die Waldverderber und ihre Feinde in 1841, followed by a second expanded edition in 1842. Count Edgar Bourée de Corberon (1807-1861) published his present French translation of the expanded edition in 1842, adding a 21-page preface, some notes to the text and a 21-page French glossary. These valuable additions make the present edition more than a mere translation.Ratzeburg (1801-1871), pioneered the scientific study of the damage or destruction of trees by insects. With Waldverderber und Ihre Feinde he for the first time devoted a separate publication to the subject, with fine steel-engravings. The Waldverderber quickly became a standard work on the subject and appeared in many editions to 1876.l Hagen I, p. 138; Horn & Schenkling 3859 (cf. 17685); cf. Arnold Arboretum I, p. 582; Hagen II, p. 62; Nissen ZBI 3309 (German eds.).
