4to, pp. 7, [1] blank; drop-head title, stitched as issued in the original buff wrappers. First edition of the prospectus for Moyroud's improved steel production process. Moyroud, master of the Perouzet forge, claimed to have invented a process for steel production, which used 75% less energy and time than the normal procedure, while maintaining the quality of traditionally produced steel. Moyroud suggests that the hot steel be worked on immediately, thus cutting down on energy (coal) consumption. Moyroud managed to secure the support of Philippe, duke d'Orléans, a member of the French royal family, who later actively supported the French Revolution and adopted the name Philippe Égalité, but was nonetheless guillotined during the Reign of Terror. The prospectus invited investment in an enlarged steel furnace, forges, factories and workshops for ore smelting, refining and steel-making to be constructed in the Galaure valley, under the management of Moyroud and his nephew Pochin de la Bruyère. Subscriptions could be obtained from Master Griveau, with a view to creating a company, which was to lead to the foundation of a Royal Steel Company. Rare, not found in OCLC.
