Abstract
The Histoire de L’Academie Royale des Sciences volume for 1767 contains a short report on a paper given by Philippe Buache on the structure of river basins in France. This report states that Buache collected data for the water level of the Seine River in Paris from 1732 to 1767 and that the data were available in the form of a figure. Based on this report of 1767, a sixpage publication appeared in 1770 in the academy’s Memoirs de Mathematique et de Physique for 1767. Included is a remarkable time-line bar graph, “Extrait des Profi ls qui representent la Crue et la Diminution des Eaux de la Seine,” with One for the History Books: An Early Time-Line Bar Graph
