First issued in 1788 and subsequently widely translated and often printed "Paul et Virginie" is the tale of two childhood friends on the unspoiled French island colony of Mauritius who grow up to fall in love. Their island paradise governed by socialist principles embraced by a contented populace living in harmony serves as an allegory for the corrupting influence of the French upper classes on the innocent "child of nature." Bernardin de Saint-Pierre 1737-1814 was a botanist as well as a literary writer and spent time in Mauritius studying its flora. His love of the tropical island and the influence of his friend and mentor Jean-Jacques Rousseau are both evident in the present work. Our edition benefits from the notes on the text and on the life of the author by prominent man of letters Anatole France 1844-1924 who would win the 1921 Nobel Prize for literature "in recognition of his brilliant literary achievements characterized as they are by a nobility of style a profound human sympathy grace and a true Gallic temperament." <br /> <br /> Considered the best binder of his generation as well as the founder of modern French bookbinding Henri Marius Michel 1846-1925 began his career in the atelier established by his father Jean in Paris in 1849 where they produced distinguished work in the prevailing historical styles for two decades. After the father's death in 1890 the firm came to even greater prominence when Henri began producing bindings in a completely new and original style that did nothing less than change the course of modern bookbinding in France. According to Duncan & De Bartha Henri believed passionately "that bookbinding needed a new vocabulary of ornamentation in order to express the mood and spirit of contemporary authors." The "vocabulary of ornamentation" he developed was based on nature the revolutionary "La Flore Ornamentale" style that he unveiled at the 1878 International Exposition. The doublures here give a hint of this new style using a delicate violet motif for the repeating mosaic design. [Printed by Ch. Unsinger for] Alphonse Le Merre unknown

Apparently no copy located in the CCFr.A stain at the head of the title page.This curious compilation bearing almost no identifying information appears to be particularly rare.It contains:- 1. A notice to mariners concerning the change in the lighting of the lighthouse in the Bay of the Somme scheduled for 25 Pluviôse Year IX 14 February 1801.- 2. An instruction on filters for purifying water signed by the health officers Dubrueil Thaumur Dupré and Billard.- 3. A notice on naval provisions signed by Rivoire.- 4. A description of the sillomètre an instrument for measuring longitude at sea addressed to the editor of the Moniteur by the former journalist Charles Mozard 17551810 who had served as Commissioner of Frances commercial relations in Boston from 1794 to 1799 and was at that time among the contributors to the Moniteur.- 5. A discourse by Bernardin de Saint-Pierre delivered at the Institut Nautical experiments and dietary and moral observations proposed for the benefit and health of sailors on long-distance voyages. This contribution had already been printed in La Décade philosophique littéraire et politique of 30 Vendémiaire Year IX 22 October 1800.- 6. Two practical notices on means of preserving ships from fire water and rats. The nature of these texts and their immediate sources suggest that this publication was probably conceived as a trial maritime periodical intended to make available sea-related articles previously published in other journals.

Douro Hoare to both FFEPs recent bookplate of Liam Sims to verso of FFEP of Vol. I early gift inscription to front blank fly-leaf of Vol. I: 'Rachel Juliana and Caroline Barclay from their papa' blank fly-leaves of Vol. II torn away very occasional light spotting. The first English translation from the French of Jacques-Henri Bernardin De Saint Pierre's 1737-1814 popular romantic novel Paul et Virginie 1788. Set on the island colony of Mauritius the work serves as an allegory for Enlightenment France criticising the social inequalities of the state prior to the Revolution extolling the virtues of harmony between men and arguing for the emancipation of slaves. The translator of this first English edition has been widely given as Daniel Malthus father of influential economist Thomas; and although Malthus was involved in the publication the translation was actually executed by Jane Dalton d. 1817. Provenance: Charles Barclay 1780-1855 politician related to the prominent Barclay and Gurney banking dynasties cousin of social reformer Elizabeth Fry. Barclay evidently gifted the book to his two young daughters Caroline and Rachel Juliana the latter of whom married Jospeh Hoare son of educational author Louisa Gurney Hoare 1784-1836. The Barclays resided at Bury Hill House Westcott Surrey not far from The Rookery the home of the Malthus family 1768. It appears probable that Charles Barclay - or perhaps his father Robert 1751-1830 - acquired this copy due to their friendship with the Malthus clan and presumably acquaintance with Jane Dalton. Later in the library of William Douro Hoare 1862-1928 sometime Director of the Bank of England. ESTC T70721. First edition in English. 8vo. Printed for J. Dodsley hardcover

2001BN35401Herder Freiburg 2001. 2001. Softcover. 189 x 119 x 14 cm. Souveräne Gelassenheit und die Einsicht dass es auf den Augenblick ankommt. Meisterhaft und spielerisch verbindet Alan Watts westliches Denken mit östlicher Erfahrung. Befreiung heißt: das Leben nicht verschieben sich der Wirklichkeit jetzt hingeben. Fröhliche inspirierende Mystik für den Alltag. Wer sich für östliche Weisheitslehren interessiert kommt an Alan Watts nicht vorbei. Ich habe fünf Bücher von ihm gelesen - und "Lebe jetzt!" ist das Werk wo Watts am ehesten auf den Punkt kommt obwohl es sich hier "nur" um eine Reihe von Vorträgen handelt. Folgende Vorlesungen sind das: 1. Der Weg der Befreiung im Zen-Buddhismus 2. Spielen und überleben - sind das unbedingt Gegensätze 3. Die Relevanz der fernöstlichen Philosophie 4. Die Illusion sich selbst bessern zu können 5. Tschuang-tse: Weisheit mit Humor und Witz Praktische Anleitung zum Meditieren Interessant ist unter anderem zu lesen dass Watts dem der Verbesserungsmentatität in unserer Gesellschaft abschwört: "Und es könnte sein dass wenn sie auf diese Weise vom Wahn befreit sind immer gleich alles verbessern zu wollen Ihre eigene Natur anfängt sich um sich selbst zu kümmern. Wenn Sie erst einmal damit aufhören sich selbst im Weg zu stehen entdecken Sie dass alles Wichtige was Sie tun Ihnen in Wirklichkeit zufällt." Keine Frage dieser Mann ist weise wenn auch nicht weise genug zum Ende seines Lebens hin auf übermäßigen Alkoholkonsum zu verzichten siehe Wikipedia. Aber was soll's.

#[36860]London W. Griffin 1775. Modern half leather. 12 291 pp. First English edition first published in Amsterdam Paris in 1773: Voyage à l' isle de France à l'isle de Bourbon au Cape de Bonne Espérance etc. . - This work was written by Bernardin de Saint-Pierre 1737-1814 the author of the well-known romance Paul et Virginie 1788. It contains a vivid description of life in Mauritius where Bernardin de Saint Pierre resided as an engineer for the French crown from July 1768 to November 1770. The author criticised the brutality of slavery on the island and as a result his book was refuted and ridiculed as soon as it was published. Nevertheless even though his observations were undoubtedly influenced by his being ardently anti-slavery it is likely that his description of the cruelty displayed towards slaves on the island was accurate The Paolo Bianci Collection 44. In the latter part of 1771 the author visited Cape Town on his homeward voyage where he was entertained by governor Tulbagh whom he describes as an able and affable man of eighty years of age. There is a somewhat pleasing account of the Cape Colony and its inhabitants. Reference is made to the paucity of the European population and it is observed that 'Holland perhabs . fears the aggrandising of this colony preferable in every respect to the mother country' Mendelssohn II p.263. Including visits to and descriptions of Île Bourbon Réunion and Ascension Island. - Some foxing. - Sacrce. Ryckebusch I p. 49-50; Gay 3264. hardcover
