VALMONT-BOMARE, Jacques Christoph.

(1731 – 1807)

(Born: Rouen, France, 17 September 1731; Died: Paris, France, 24 August 1807) French mineralogist & naturalist.

A brilliant student, Valmont was by his family wishes destined for a career in the legal profession; however, his interest in science was greater and led him to study pharmacy and chemistry at Rouen. After graduating in 1751, he moved to Paris. There, he convinced the government to grant him an official status for investigating the mineral resources of other countries. In this quasi-diplomatic capacity, he gained access to mines and chemical and metallurgical works throughout Europe. As a consequence, he also met many of the leading scientists of his time. In July 1756, Valmont introduced a series of public lectures on natural history subject that became highly successful, and lasted until 1788. During the French revolution, out of fear of being labeled a royal collaborator, he destroyed all the journals of his journeys, together with his correspondence with such luminaries as Linneaus and Rousseau. In 1796, he accepted a position as professor of natural history at the École Centrale in the Rue Saint-Antoine which he remained in until 1806. When the Institute de France was established in 1795 he was named associate member in the mineralogy section.

Scarce. Valmont de Bomare intended this work to be a course of mineralogical study so that one could become familiar with the diverse substances extracted from the bowels of the earth. He begins his Minéralogie with definitions so as to delimit the subject. Natural history is the study that enumerates and describes the different bodies of the mineral, plant and animal kingdoms, and the naturalists task was to examine, collect, and classify all the bodies that exist in nature. The subject of mineralogy was that section of natural history that provides the descriptions of the waters, fossils, minerals, semi-metals, metals, and all other substances found at the surface or within the interior of the earth. Valmont called the enumeration and description of minerals the systematic part of his treatise. In addition, he inserted notes to clarify obscure points, which were catch-alls for a variety of miscellaneous information.

On the whole, Valmont de Bomare's originality lay in his synthesizing the work of other authors into a convenient form. He distributed all mineral bodies known to him into 10 classes with 61 genra and ultimately 352 species. His classification system was an adaptation of Wallerius' theories, with the emphasis placed on the physical characters as the principle method for division. But throughout, he cites Pliny, Agricola, Scheuchzer, Woodward, Discorides, as well as contemporaries like Wallerius, Linneaus, Woltersdorff and Henckel. Valmont also uses resistance to the action of fire and water as a distinguishing characteristic for a species. The greatest obscure he had in compiling his Minéralogie was the chaotic state of the nomenclature. As a result, he includes at the end an alphabetical lexicon of mineralogy that defines terms used in "natural history, physics and chemistry ... which appear to be less generally understood."^[1]

Dictionaire Raisonné

The compilers of dictionaries had two banks to rob: Linnaeus' Systema Naturæ and Buffon's Histoire Naturelle. They would abstract and arrange the contents alphabetically. As a result the reader got Linnaeus' exactness and Buffon's fine writing in both science and literature. Creation of such dictionaries reached it zenith with the extravagant works of Houttyun's Natuurkyke Historie of Uitvoerige Beschryving der Dieren, Planten en Mineralen, published in thirty-seven volumes (1761-85), and Valmont de Bomare's Dictionaire Raisoné Universel d'Histoire Naturelle, that appeared in at least five editions, and Danish, Dutch, Italian and Russian translations. There was also Martini's Allgemeine Geschichte der Natur in alfabetischer Ordnung (1774), which ambitiously built on Bomare's Dictionaire and invited its readers to participate in making a new edition by filling out pages left blank for the purpose. The new edition would not be complete, extending through the letter "C" in 11 volumes. In natural history, Martini said, "complete is a harmonious sound without meaning." There were still more dictionaries: the anonymous Manuel du Naturaliste (Paris, 1770), W.F. Martyn's A New Dictionary of Natural History, Philip Miller's very handsome The Gardener's and Botanist's Dictionary (1731, 8th edition 1768), and Lamarck's botanical chunk of the Encyclopédie Méthodique. A somewhat earlier, similar trend has been noted in geography.

Very scarce. This is the first appearance of Valmont's general dictionary of natural history that covers all aspects of the three kingdoms of animals, plants and minerals. It became a very popular work, updated and increased in its scope through other French editions until 1800, as well as translations into other languages such as Danish, Dutch, Italian and Russian. It is the most important work of Valmont and the book for which he is best remembered, because it contributed greatly to the wide spread study of natural history during the later half of the 18th century. Valmont based his text upon his own wide range of reading that is displayed by the inclusion of a long bibliography in the introductory material of the first volume. However, Valmont does not contribute anything truly original but instead combines and synthesizes the ideas of many other naturalists into a highly readable text that was so successful in its presentation that it was used as a model for similar dictionaries into the 19th century.
