His activity was among those that are noticed mainly by good order one of those discreet activities that act on all points almost in silence and insensitivity. Mistress of the house she has the eye to everything; she presides; yet she growls but of a rumbling which is only hers; she want us to be silent in time ; she polices her salon. They fear her. Its principle is to intervene only at certain moments. It is then that she places wise maxims pungent tales and anecdotal morality in action usually sharpened by some familiar expression or image".</p><p><b>A wide-margined copy preserved in its publisher's boards as issued.</b></p><p>Provenance : Martelli's family in Florence ex-libris " Sola Virtus vera Nobilitas "</p>

176745852PRIMERA EDICION ORIGINAL.- S.l.: s.n. 1767.- 1 h. 285 p.; 8º menor 16 x 98 cm; Buena impresión sobre papel verjurado; Sign. A-M12; Texto en francés; Enc. Media Piel a puntas de la época lomo cuajado en oro con cinco nervios y tÃtulo en tejuelo cortes tintados en color granate.- Esta rara primera edición debió ser impresa en Italia según se ve por sus usos tipográficos y también por su papel. Lo más probable es que fuera impresa en la ciudad de Florencia según nos indica BARBIER. El libro contiene un total de LIX cartas numeradas que incluyen las tres cartas en las que se cita crÃticamente a Mme. GEOFFRIN mas otras dos sin numeración a saber: "Lettre de la Duchesse d'Aiguillon a l'Abbe Comte de Guasco". Y la otra dice "Article d'une lettre du Baron de Secondat de Montesquieu a l'Abbe Comte de Guasco". Siguen dos versos que incluye el "Soneto de Adami Knight" Senador florentino que lo escribió en homenaje a Montesquieu tras su muerte. Esta edición original publicada en Florencia por el abad de Guasco en 1767 contiene 3 cartas en las que se critica a la Sra. Geoffrin. Por causa de esto la propia acusada se ocupó de hacer desaparecer gran parte de la edición e incluso persiguió a quien osara reeditar el libro con las dichas cartas. RARO. La encuadernación con algunas pequeñas rozaduras que han sido restauradas la esquina inferior externa de la tapa anterior tiene una pequeña falta de piel pero ha sido restaurada quedando muy bien. Las tres primeras hojas tienen en la cabeza y pie de las esquinas externas unas pequeñas marcas de oxidación. Por lo demás en su conjunto el libro presenta un buen estado.

''Edition augmentÂŽe d'un SupplÂŽment aux Lettres persanes et des Lettres turques de Saint-Foix''. in Vian. Usbek un philosophe persan accompagnÂŽ de son ami Rica fait un voyage en Europe jusqu'ˆ Paris. En tenant ˆ jour une correspondance avec des amis rencontrÂŽs dans les pays traversÂŽs il dÂŽpeint d'un Ãil faussement na•f à celui qu'une civilisation lointaine pourrait porter sur l'Occident rÂŽduit dÂs lors lui-mÂme ˆ quelques contrÂŽes exotiques à les mÃurs les conditions et la vie de la sociÂŽtÂŽ franÂaise du xviiieÊsiÂcle. Le ÇÊregard ÂŽtrangerÊÈ dont Montesquieu donne ici un des premiers exemples ÂŽloquents contribue ainsi ˆ alimenter ce relativisme culturel qu'on devait voir ensuite illustrÂŽ chez d'autres auteurs du xviiieÊsiÂcle. Mais ce roman ÂŽpistolaire vaut aussi en lui-mÂme en outre par sa peinture des contradictions dÂŽchirant le personnage central d'UsbekÊ: partagÂŽ entre ses idÂŽes modernistes et sa foi musulmane. Si on lit entre les lignes Montesquieu critique ici clairement de faÂon implicite le systÂme monarchique sous lequel il vit. Cette ÇÊarme fataleÊÈ crÂŽÂŽe par Richelieu consiste ˆ rÂŽunir les 3 pouvoirs lÂŽgislatif judiciaire et exÂŽcutif sur la tÂte d'une seule et mÂme personne: le Roi.

192620423Paris: Jean Terquem. Printed by R. Colouma 1926. Limited Edition. Full decorated morocco. Chemise or dust jacket with morocco spine and narrow morocco flaps that embrace edge of book proper. Slipcase with marbled paper pastedown on all morocco trim around opening. Fine. Charles Martin. Gorgeous Art Deco full morocco binding with decorative green onlays and gilt lines interlaced in a strapwork-like border the design embedding an "M" for Montesquieu. The binding was done by by Mercier Fils et Pere in 1931. The binding exudes an uncommon presence and solidity the raised bands rounded to perfection. The green and gilt spine decoration is a variation of that on the boards flowing vertically from one compartment to the next as if they were tunneled under the raised bands a form of decoration virtually never encountered and here done to stunning effect. All edges gilt. Original wrappers bound in. No. 168 of 265 copies in the limited edition. 4to. 25.5 by 20 cm. xii 294 2 pp. With 20 engraved plates each in two states one colored the other b/w. Leaves are of Vélin de cuves de Rives. The slipcase shows minor wear; the chemise has a few rubbed spots on its raised bands. Overall a beautiful production and our copy of the book itself is near flawless. A penciled note in the front states that this copy was presented by H.R.H. the late Duke of Kent to the Red Cross. Besides the fact it doesn't state when this presentation was made and thus which Duke of Kent might have done so we question why the book would have been so presented and thus discount the written assertion.
