De l'influence des chemins de fer et de l'art de les tracer et de les construire. Paris, Carilian-Goeury und Dalmont, 1839. Mit gefalt. Tabelle und 6 gefalt. Kupfertafeln. 2 Bl., XIX, 501 S. Hldr. d. Zt. (berieben). (90)
Erste Ausgabe (erschien gleichzeitig auch in Brüssel und Lüttich). – Metzeltin 3346. Haskell 1405. Poggendorff III, 1233. Singer 676. DSB XII, 288: "His most important publication, a handbook for the design and construction of railroads. In the chapter on steam locomotive performance, he first rejected the caloric theory because its major premise, the existence of heat as a fluid conserved in all processes, would allow the reuse of heat in an engine and thus would imply perpetual motion. This assumption was the basis for his later claim to priority over Joule and Mayer for the statement of the convertibility and conservation of heat and work." – Marc Séguin (1786-1875) war der Großneffe von Montgolfier. – Die Tafeln mit Randläsuren, gering braunfleckig.
