Dreyfus 65. ◆A touch of browning to untrimmed edges otherwise a very fine copy virtually unchanged from the day it was issued.<br/> <br/> Described by press founder Francis Meynell as "a little peach of a book" this discussion on the heliocentric universe was one of the significant works of the Enlightenment. First published in 1686 it takes the form of a conversation between a philosopher and a marquise on scientific theories about the cosmos and it was credited for stimulating public interest in astronomy. The playful astrological ornaments and colorful stencils make this fine translation especially charming. Nonesuch Press unknown

Their aspiration was for their publications to be aligned with the same aesthetic standards as the private press movement. They were unusual as they used a small Albion press to design the books but had them printed by commercial printers. In doing so books with the quality of a fine-press were produced but available to a wider audience at lower prices. In the original publisher's vellum wraps. Externally generally smart with light discolouration as is usual with a vellum binding. Internally firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean. Slipcase is a little worn with rubbing to the extremities in a very good condition. Very Good Indeed The Nonesuch Press hardcover
