- Volume 1 - Logica[4]
- Volume 2 - Metaphysica[5]
- Volume 3 - Physica Generalis[6] including mechanics and geometry
- Volume 4 - Physica Particularis (Part I)[7] including astronomy (Ptolemaic, Copernican, Tychonic), optics, chemistry, gravity, and Newtonian versus Cartesian dynamics
- Volume 5 - Physica Particularis (Part II)[8] including fluid mechanics, human anatomy, magnetism, and miscellaneous subjects (earthquakes, electricity, botany, metallurgy, etc. ...)
- Volume 6 - Moralis[9] including appendices on trigonometry and sundials
He was also the father of Pierre Charles Le Monnier and Louis-Guillaume Le Monnier.
