Octavo full period calf gilt titles and elaborate gilt tooling to the spine gilt ruled marbled endpapers all edges red. In good condition. One of the most influential thinkers of the French Enlightenment Francois-Marie Arouet know by the nom de plum Voltaire was a resourceful and prolific writer. His works touched nearly every literary form including plays poems novels theoretical essays and scientific treatises. A forthright and candid advocate of civil liberties he frequently criticized the institutions of religious dogma and classism prevalent in 18th century France often doing so through satire to avoid censorship and imprisonment. Printed for Thomas Brown unknown books
1905Geneva: Cramer 1765-1768. Five volumes. A GORGEOUS COPY OF THE FIRST EDITION with ALL HALF-TITLES PRESENT of one of Voltaire's most important and fascinating works a haphazard collection of philosophical and literary pieces which clearly demonstrate the depth and scope of his genius. The original intention was to publish only three volumes and for that reason many bibliographers consider the first three volumes a complete work in itself although Voltaire continued until the 19th volume appeared in 1776. I offer here the first three volumes along with the next two. In his introduction to the third part Voltaire points out that some of the works which appear here had been published before but only incorrectly and incompletely. He goes on to assert that many of the other works originally printed alongside them and attached to his name were not in fact by him. His reason for publishing this collection therefore was to present a definitive and complete text of many of his most important works many of which are printed here for the first time. Included are his commentary on Beccaria his Traite sur la tolerance with documentation that had not previously been published and dozens of other pieces. Volume 3 is complete with the supplement which is often missing. Due to their subversive nature they all ended up on the Catholic Church's Index of Prohibited Books these books were published without the name of the author the name of the publisher or the place of publication. Due to their popularity they were reprinted by Cramer and mercilessly pirated by other publishers. Most sets are mixed with different printings by different publishers. The volumes I offer here however are first printings throughout. Nicely printed on fine laid paper with numerous head- and tailpieces. 8vo. Bound in very attractive contemporary half French calf and decorated boards spines in six compartments leather spine labels. Minimal traces of wear to corners else fine and bright with large margins and no defects inside or out. Bengesco 2212; B.N. vol. 214 part I columns 82-86; Barbier III 531-532.

Housed in a later marbled slipcase. WITH engraved frontispiece by Gaucher and 21 ENGRAVED PLATES after Marillier Monsiau and Ponce as called for AND EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED WITH 46 PLATES comprised of a suite of 20 small plates a suite of 21 large plates and five portraits. Verso of front free endpaper with the bookplate of Jacques Bastenet. Cohen-de Ricci 1035; Graesse VI 393. See also: Cohen-de Ricci 1047-48 for the plates by Moreau. ◆Two three-inch abrasions on one cover and a hint of wear to joints both very well disguised by refurbishment leather faintly soiled but the decorative bindings still lustrous and quite pleasing without any significant condition issues. Occasional mostly light foxing never serious and most of the plates clean but noticeable enough to be regrettable some of the smaller extra-illustrations slightly browned due to paper stock but still a book with considerable appeal inside and out with the engravings richly impressed.<br/> <br/> This printing of Voltaire's mock-heroic "Pucelle" a licentious burlesque based on the Joan of Arc story features the same beautiful engravings found in the Didot edition of 1795 but without the frames plus two additional suites of plates taken from other editions. The set of 20 small plates seem to be close copies of Gravelot's illustrations from the 1762 Geneva edition of "La Pucelle"; the set of 21 larger images are by Moreau all but two being before letters. The latter set probably comes from the suite of images for Voltaire's "Oeuvres" published by Renouard in 1802 of which there were just 40 copies before letters according to Cohen-de-Ricci. Capé was one of the most distinguished binders in France in the middle years of the 19th century being especially well known for the delicacy of his work as evidenced by our spines. He was the binder to the Empress Eugénie and Béraldi calls him "the Bozérian of the second Empire.". de l'Imprimerie de Crapelet unknown

17384366Amsterdam 13 x 20 Jacques Desbordes Edition Originale 1738 Volume in-8, reliure plein veau glacé de l'époque, dos à cinq nerfs orné de filets dorés, pièce de titre "Neuton" de maroquin rouge, plats encadrés d'un filet doré et fleurons d'angle, tranches rouges, gardes peignées, coupes guillochées, signet de soie rose, comprenant le second état de l'édition originale des "Eléments de la philosophie de Neuton" (page de titre noir et rouge ornée d'une vignette gravée par Duflos surmontée de la devise "Serere ne dubites", page de faux titre, 3-399 pp., [1] p. d'errata, et reliée à la suite l'édition originale de "La métaphysique de Neuton" parue également à Amsterdam chez Jacques Desbordes en 1740 (page de titre, [4]-71 pp.). L'ouvrage, composé de vingt-cinq chapitres, est illustré de 25 vignettes, de 25 culs-de-lampe finement gravés par Folkema, J. V. Schley, Decave, B. Picart et G. Konder et comprend 7 planches hors texte sur papier fort dont une dépliante, ainsi que de nombreuses figures mathématiques in-texte. Les premières pages sont dédiées à la Marquise du Ch **. La Marquise du Chatelet (1706-1749), "Emilia Neutonia", maîtresse de Voltaire, entreprendra la traduction en français des "Principia" de Newton, qui ne paraitra qu'en 1759. Notre exemplaire constitue l'édition originale de l'ouvrage de Voltaire, qui introduit en France la pensée de Newton (1642 - 1727), où dominent encore Descartes et Malebranche, cinquante ans après la publication à Londres des "Principia Mathematica" (1687). Il est également un bon témoignage du système éditorial de l'époque et de la censure de la librairie française : poursuivi et jouant double jeu vis à vis des autorités depuis la parution des "Lettres philosophiques" en 1734, Voltaire avait remis à des libraires d'Amsterdam (Ledet et Desbordes) les chapitres des "Eléments". Ledet les fit compléter par un mathématicien local et ajouta au titre donné par Voltaire les mots "mis à la portée de tout le monde". L'ouvrage - notre exemplaire - parut en 25 chapitres. Voltaire tenta alors de faire imprimer son livre en France. D'Aguesseau lui accorda une "permission tacite", c'est à dire l'autorisation de le réimprimer en France, mais sous le nom d'un pays étranger : c'est l'édition de la même année qui porte pour adresse "Londres", à laquelle Voltaire ajouta un vingt-sixième chapitre. Notre exemplaire est par ailleurs unique, car il associe aux "Eléments" l'édition originale de la "Métaphysique de Newton" en neuf chapitres parue chez Desbordes à Amsterdam en 1740 et qui deviendra dans les éditions ultérieures la première partie des "Eléments". (Bengesco, II, 1570). Elégante reliure de l'époque en bon état, belles vignettes et culs-de-lampe de style rocaille, beau papier de Hollande avec de bonnes marges, mais absence du portrait de Voltaire et du frontispice allégorique qui semble avoir été arraché, intérieur frais, petit manque de papier au coin inférieur de la planche située entre les pages 68 et 69, bref complément manuscrit de l'époque p. 289, page 271 paginée 371 par erreur, légère auréole sur un cm à la marge supérieure des pages 269 à 286, auréole d'humidité aux coins inférieurs des pages de la "Métaphysique de Neuton", mention manuscrite (XIXe) en haut de la page de garde blanche.
