Bound in one quarter premium full leather. Covers Accented in Gilt motifs. Printed on archival paper with gilded edges with silk ribbon page marker and decorated endsheets. Translation of Tobias Smollet This version also includes many with illustrations of Antoni Clave. Candide is a satire first published in 1759 by Voltaire a philosopher of the Age of Enlightenment. A beautiful book in pristine condition.<br/><br/>Candide is living a sheltered life with his mentor Professor Pangloss who's mantra is "all is for the best" in the "best of all possible worlds" but as the fantastical and fast-moving plot continues Candide slowly and painfully is disillusioned as he witnesses and experiences great hardships. Voltaire concludes Candide with a practical precept "we must cultivate our garden" in lieu of the "all is for the best" in the "best of all possible worlds". Candide has enjoyed both great success and great scandal. Immediately after its secretive publication the book was widely banned to the public because it contained religious blasphemy political sedition and intellectual hostility hidden under a thin veil of naÃ¯vetÃ©. Today Candide is recognized as Voltaire's magnum opus and is often listed as part of the Western canon. unknown books

The Age of Lewis XIV in 2 vols

17523549Dublin: George Faulkner 1752. First Dublin edition. Full contemporary calf with gilt and morocco spine labels. Front joint of volume I cracked near the crown but holding. Internally a lovely copy much fresher than expected of an imprint from this era. Bookplates of William Paul to front pastedown of each; ownership stamp of Robert Paul to front endpapers and title of volume II. Small closed tear to margin of pages v-vi and paper loss to margin of pages 3-4 of volume I neither affecting text. Collating complete: viii 356; 258.68 20. A pleasing set of this important French history.<br/><br/>In the Introduction Voltaire declares that his aim is greater than merely writing the life of Louis XIV: "We would endeavour to describe to posterity not the actions only of one man but the genius of the age; that age which was the most enlightened of all others." Greater than the cultures of ancient Greece and Rome and that period "which followed the taking of Constantinople by Mahomet II" the age of Louis XIV comes the closest according to Voltaire to reaching perfection. He lays out his claims in two volumes celebrating the richness of Enlightenment thought in this grandiose history. George Faulkner unknown books

SEMIRAMIS; A TRAGEDY. Translated from the French of M. De Voltaire .

1760140101London: Printed for G. Kearsly 1760. Small quarto pp. 1-4 1 2-76 drab boards. First edition in English. Semiramis ninth-century queen of Assyria present-day Iraq was until the early twentieth century a figure of legend that had been well-established as of the classical period: begotten of the fish-goddess Atargatis and fed by doves until her rescue by a royal shepherd; bride of general Onnes and successor to his power and eventually to the throne of Assyria; founder of Babylon and every other monument in the region; long-lived brave wise and sexually potent she was turned into a dove at her death and worshipped subsequently as a surrogate of the Assyrian fertility goddess Astarte. Modern archaeological research by Lehman-Haupt and others has largely replaced legend with history but the legend was still alive and well in Voltaire's time. She was a female personification of all that was gaudy and glorious in pre-Christian antiquity and she furnished good material for this tragedy Voltaire's preference in drama composed in 1748 a year after his conte philosophique ZADIG. Voltaire's play has probably had more continuing vitality as the foundation of the libretto of the Rossini opera "Semiramide" 1823 widely considered as one of the best and last operas in the Baroque style. ESTC T62226. The front paste-down bears the bookplate of Alaskan bibliographer James Wickersham who attached to the rear paste-down the mailing label with canceled stamp of the British bookseller McLeish & Sons from whom presumably he obtained this book. Lacks the advertising leaf at rear a very good copy. #140101 Printed for G. Kearsly unknown books
