Very good set lacking the engraved portrait of the author but complete with all the text and 7 plates and 7 maps. "Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest" â€“ Denis Diderot. EARLY EDITION first issued in 1770 of this classic that opens with the discovery of North America then thought of as the New World while looking for passage to India. This edition was edited and improved over previous editions. The work is embellished with 7 historiated "frontispiece" elaborately engraved plates located at the beginning of the narrative show indigenous peoples in natural settings. The 4 folding engraved maps depict the entire world North America including Hudson Bay and Greenland to the north and reaching as far south as the Gulf of Mexico and east to the western part of Africa and the Gulf of Mexico region reaching to the northern part of S. America. 3 additional maps repeat three of the original maps. "The book examines the East Indies South America the West Indies and North America. The final chapter comprises theory around the future of Europe as a whole. Raynal also examines commerce religion slavery and other popular subjects all with a perspective from the French Enlightenment." â€“ Wikip. Born April 12 1713 at Saint-Geniez in Rouergue Raynal received a Jesuit education at Pezenas. "Collaboration was crucial to Raynal's greatest achievement as an editor and author. It was Raynal after all who shepherded into print one of the eighteenth century's most influential collective efforts the massive Histoire philosophique et politique des etablissements et du commerce des Europeens dans les deux Indes a philosophical and political history . . . Printed in three "authorized" versions edited by Raynal 1770 1774 and 1780 the Histoire des deux Indes was the work of a score of authors among them Denis Diderot Jean le Rond d'Alembert Charles Pinot-Duclos and Paul-Henri Thiry The Baron d'Holbach 1723-1789. Diderot and d'Holbach denounced the tyranny of despotism which touched a nerve from the French monarchy resulting in the book being condemned by the French parliament in 1781. Raynal was exiled from France and in fact an order was issued for his arrest even though his name did not appear on the first edition of the work. The Histoire des deux Indes attempted a comprehensive history of the contemporary European colonial enterprise in the Far East and the Atlantic world. Beginning with the fifteenth-century Portuguese explorations and culminating with a sweeping analysis of all colonial powers in the eighteenth century the Histoire laid bare the progress of conquest for each European nation and its trading companies. Often the 'progress' translated into the abuses made possible by the disproportionate use of force and state-sponsored trading monopolies. No colonial power was spared. . ." â€“ Bill Marshall Cristina Johnston France and The Americas: Culture Politics And History ABC-CLIO 2005 p. 978. "Diderot was one of the most forceful critics of European colonization. In his contributions to Raynal's Histoire des deux Indes he challenges the view that indigenous people benefit from European civilization and argues that the European colonists are the uncivilized ones. He claims that culture "national character" helps to inculcate morality and reinforces norms of respect but these norms tend to dissipate when the individual is far from his country of origin. According to Diderot colonial empires frequently become the sites of extreme brutality because the colonists are far away from legal institutions and informal sanctions and this weakens the habits of restraint exposing natural man's full instinct for violence Muthu 2003." â€“ Margaret Kohn "Colonialism" Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

Impressive cross-sections of shafts and images men at work in the processing halls and foundries make this one of the most visually compelling suites from Diderotâ€™s EncyclopÃ©die. However these are not only attractive depictions of eighteenth-century mining and Earth Sciences they are a comprehensive guide to the operation and construction of the machines and tools employed. Diderot and Goussier â€˜the third EncyclopÃ©distâ€™ who together visited many factories and workshops around France and Europe meant the EncyclopÃ©die as a textbook and as a way of propagating new ideas and methods. For instance one of the largest sections in this suite is devoted to the famous Pont-PÃ©an lead mines in Brittany where innovative hydraulic machines had recently been installed. Further plates demonstrate the arts of underground surveying and geometry the renowned slate quarries of Anjoun and the refining of mercury copper gold tin zinc and cobalt. No other publication had devoted this amount of attention to the mechanical arts before and none did again until the mid-nineteenth-century. These images are of considerable significance now as one of few records of mining practices and the mining machines of the eighteenth-century particularly interesting because of their attention to detail and their useful cross-sections and disassemblies.To accompany the plates are many relevant text entries including the main articles for Mine MinÃ©ral MinÃ©ralogie MinÃ©raux MÃ©tal and MÃ©tallurgie by Paul-Henri Thiry Baron dâ€™Holbach a French-German philosophe and encyclopÃ©dist author of the renowned SystÃ¨me de la Nature ou Des Loix du Monde Physique et du Monde Moral 1780.Dâ€™Holbach contributed around four hundred articles to theEncyclopÃ©die a number of which were translations of Germanphilosophical works.Another important paper is on Regne MinÃ©ral and is an abrigedversion of a work by Charles Le Roy a French physician and professor of medicine at Montpellier University.
