Notes:
"Histoire des guespes en général ..." and "Des freslons, des guespes cartonniéres" ( v.6, mémoires 6-7 p. 155-246) contain numerous references to wasps' nest paper, e.g. p. 223: an American wasp (in Cayenne) produces "un carton qui ne le cede en rien au plus beau, au plus blanc, au plus fort que nous sçachons faire"; p. 232 : "Celles-ci [i.e. the American wasps] nous donnent une importante leçon en nous apprenant qu'on peut faire du papier de la qualité du nôtre, avec des fibres de plantes, qui n'ont pas passé par l'état de linge & de chiffon". The latter passage continues by suggesting that the wood used by the wasps be discovered and imported for use in papermaking (p. 232-234). Plates 14-25 depict paper wasps and their nests. Printer's device on t.p. of each volume; tailpieces. Includes engraved head pieces.
