Einzige Ausgabe dieses überaus seltenen Katalogs der berühmten und bedeutenden Mineraliensammlung. - "A remarkable catalog of a large and famous collection of minerals, fossils, gems, rocks and objects made from stone. Based on the text, Drée divided his museum into eight collections dealing with: I. Mineralogy. II. Rocks and Stones, including meteorites. III. Products of Volcanoes, such as lava, basalt and other ejecta. IV. Fossilized Organic Bodies. V. Rocks, Stones and ornamental plaques made of stone, including jades, marbles, alabaster, malachite and hematite. VI. Precious Gems. VII. Engraved Stones and Agates. VIII. Monuments and Statues carved in stone. Through out the text, Drée has added a good commentary that enhances the specimen descriptions. The supplemental material at the end describes the latest additions to his collection including precious stones, engraved agates and monuments. The twelve fine plates by the designer La Guiche and engraved by Lecerf illustrate some of the better specimens from the collection including faceted gems, a fine dendritic agate, engraved gems and other ornamental objects. Over the years through auctions Drée sold off various sections of his museum; however, the mineral collection consisting of about 15,000 specimens was ultimately acquired en bloc by the Musée de Minéralogie de l'École Nationale Supérieure des Mines in Paris in 1845" (Schuh). - Sehr schönes, sauberes und wohlerhaltenes Exemplar. - Sinkankas 1779 (A very scarce work); Wilson, History of Mineral Collection S. 168
