122517Paris 1771. Folio 253 x 393mm. 3 pages of descriptive text & 5 loose plates with their accompanying text sheet. Slight browning to margins a little spotting otherwise very good. § The 5 plates and descriptive text for the entry of Sculpture Fonte des Statues Équestres from volume VIII of plates. Plates are numbered 1-5. Plate 3 is continued on a second sheet Plate 4 is a double plate and plate 5 is a triple plate.1 page 822 from volume XIV of the Encyclopédie 1765 including Observations sur les chevaux des statues équestres2 pages 497 & 502 from volume XV of the Encyclopédie 1765 including information on Équestre StatueWith some browning to a few leaves.This suite of plates is noteworthy as a record of the practises of sculptors of this period. The illustrations and their explanations are influenced heavily by the writing and descriptions of Germain Boffrand. Boffrand had served as the first architect of numerous 18th-century noblemen and had been a witness to the casting of Louis XIV's statue by Giradon and Jean-Balthazar Keller. The statue was melted during the revolution and only a smaller model remains which can be found in the Musée du Louvre. On hearing of the troubles Lemoyne was having casting a similar statue of Louis XV Boffrand sought to assist Lemoyne recognising that he was the only remaining assistant who had taken notes at the earlier casting. Boffrand wrote his Description de ce qui a été Practiqué pour Fondre en Bronze d'un Seul Jet la Figure Équestre de Louis XIV enabling Lemoyne to complete his work although this statue was also later destroyed in the Revolution. Diderot's plates here presented are an almost exact copy of Boffrand's originals only shrunk and simplified to suit the Encylopédie's format.Included with these plates is the relevant entry for equestrian statues written by Jaucourt the 18th-century aristocrat who wrote around one quarter of the Encyclopédie voluntarily. unknown books

Furman Diderot A Critical Biography. Edges somewhat rubbed; hinges starting but sound; very good copy. 8vo contemporary mottled calf dark red morocco label gilt decorations and lettering. Vignette title-page two plates and two headpieces by Etienne Fessard after Louis Durand. ¶ The first book by the great French philosopher writer and polymath Denis Diderot 1713-1784 a translation of An Inquiry Concerning Virtue 1699 by Anthony-Ashley Cooper the Earl of Shaftesbury. Diderot adapted "Shaftesbury's text pretty freely adding his own interjections and digressions" - Furman. Diderot's Essai challenged the doctrine of the church which required that it be published anonymously and with a false imprint. The only evidence of authorship are the initials "M. S." in the title. Shaftesbury's essays like Lucretius's De Rerum Natura had an important influence on the young Diderot.

Lower cover slightly discolored otherwise a beautiful copy. Housed in a custom brown cloth clamshell. "Rather a paraphrase than a translation of Lord Shaftesbury's An Inquiry Concerning Virtue and Merit. Yet it is a very important work indeed for the growth and development of his thought. It was Diderot who furnished the RÈflexions in a preliminary discours and lengthy footnotes to which students of Diderot now turn for precious indications of the unfolding of his ideas.It will be noticed that the French version is anonymous neither Shaftesbury's name nor that of the translator was mentioned. The reason was that there was some danger involved in presenting to the French public a work that declared so boldly for the existence of a natural morality independant of any particular religion or church" Arthur M.
