It may be this translation in the American edition. 8vo. In thirty-one books Montesquieu treats the historical origins and principles of laws.

This work is "an assemblage of the most fertile original and inspiriting views on legal and political subjects put in language of singular suggestiveness and vigour illustrated by examples which are always apt and luminous permeated by the spirit of temperate and tolerant desire for human improvement and happiness and almost unique in its entire freedom at once from doctrinairism from visionary enthusiasm from egotism and from an undue spirit of system" Ency. Brit. "One of the greatest masterpieces of political theory and a pioneering work in sociology . In its stress on the historical role of the nobility as a check to royal power it provided a theoretical justification for the resurgance of aristocratic power which was so important in the origins of the French Revolution . its emphasis on the separation of powers of government and on a system of checks and balances profoundly influenced constitutional thought in both America and France" Charles B. MacNamara "France in the Age of Revolution" Cornell 1981. Montesquieu's disapproval of slavery and of religious intolerance are both voiced in this work as are his views on witchcraft sceptical. In the "Preface" the author writes "I have laid down the first principles and have found that the particular cases apply naturally to them that the histories of all nations are only consequences of them; and that every particular law is connected with another law or depends on some other of a more general extent." One of the primary evidences of Montesquieu's teachings that "in a republican government the whole power of educaion is required if the virtue that makes men choose public over private interest is to be sustained" appears in Jefferson's "Bill for More General Diffusion of Knowledge" of 1779 Cremin "American Education" p. 439.

LE TEMPLE DE GNIDE SUIVI D'ARSACE ET ISMÉNIE

1881ST19567-189Rouen: J. Lemonnyer 1881. No. 51 OF 50 COPIES on papier de Chine numbered 51-100 from a total edition of 200. 280 x 182 mm. 11 x 7 1/4". 3 p.l. xxxiii 1 160 pp. 3 leaves table of contents blank ads. <br/> Fine late 19th century mahogany morocco gilt by David and Domont stamp-signed on turn-ins the covers with triple roll-tooled borders the central frame with scrolling floral cornerpieces flanked with doves raised bands spine similarly gilt in compartments wide turn-ins tooled with doves flanking alternating torches and arrows marbled endpapers all edges gilt. In a black and tan suede-lined board slipcase. With a total of 45 plates made up of 15 engravings in three states each printed in sanguine bistre and black. The two title pages one on blue paper printed in red and black. A Large Paper Copy. Crimson morocco book label of Cortlandt F. Bishop to the front pastedown. Vicaire V 1102. Spine a bit dulled a hint of rubbing to front joint alongside top compartment one leaf with a half-inch tear to the lower margin but a very pleasing copy with fresh bright leaves immense margins and a lustrous decorative binding.<br/> <br/> Attractively printed with enormous margins this bibliophile’s copy of Montesquieu’s important poems on love is finely bound and profusely illustrated with a lovely triple suite of engravings. By far the most important work in this collection is "Le Temple de Gnide" first published by Montesquieu 1689-1755 in 1725 and immediately put on the Index because of its conspicuous sexual content. Composed of seven cantos this long prose poem explores the various forms of love from tender to erotic and is notable for the way it is constructed. The other two poems "Arsace" and "Isménie" are similarly tales of love set against Neoclassical and Orientalist backgrounds respectively. The poetry is accompanied by engravings of Noel Le Mire 1724-1801 after Charles Eisen 1720-78 and Jean Jacques François Le Barbier 1738-1826 which originally appeared in the 1772 edition of "Le Temple de Gnide" and the subsequent publications of the other two works. Furstenberg says that "the delicate sensuality of the women's bodies glorified in these illustrations was never outdone" and he indicates that they represented Le Mire's "lasting claim to fame." Cohen-De Ricci says the plates are "ravishing" both in terms of composition and engraving. The binding is a joint effort between Bernard David who trained with Gruel and gilder Jules Domont 1847-1931 who learned his craft from Koehler and Marius Michel père before setting up independently. According to Flety all the late 19th century binders who did not have a "doreur" in their own atelier turned to Domont whose expertise was widely admired. This copy also has a distinguished provenance. The library of Cortlandt F. Bishop 1870-1935 contained rarities of great value in the fields of illuminated manuscripts early printing and English literature but was especially rich in fine bindings. Bishop was in many ways the heir to the bibliophilic eminence of Robert Hoe the most famous of all American book collectors the first president of the Grolier Club and a renowned lover of fine bindings.

180239Worcester: Printed by Isaiah Thomas Jun. sold by him and by Mathew Carey Philadelphia; also by the various Booksellers throughout the United States 1802. First US edition. Two volumes. Modern calf-backed marbled boards. Some browning of text generally light. Contemporary signature of "Jos. Allen" on titles. Enclosed in an open-end cloth case. The first American edition of Montesquieu's 1689-1755 classic work of political theory that helped form the American Constitution. Montesquieu first published The Spirit of Laws in 1748 in his native France as De l'esprit des loix anonymously in part because his works were subject to censorship. The book became recognized for its pioneering work on political theory and comparative law and was rapidly translated into other languages and published throughout Europe. Thomas Nugent the influential Irish historian and travel writer published the first English translation in 1750 but in 1751 the Roman Catholic Church placed the work on its Index Librorum Prohibitorum "List of Prohibited Books". Despite the book's censorship it would profoundly influence the American Founding Fathers and other political luminaries including Alexis de Tocqueville. The book was first printed in America by the influential revolutionary war printer and anti-British journalist Isaiah Thomas 1749-1831 and was sold and distributed by Thomas and fellow American printer and economist Mathew Carey 1760-1839. Montesquieu spent nearly twenty-one years researching and writing The Spirit of Laws which covers a wide range of topics including law philosophy government social life and anthropology. Montesquieu's work is perhaps best remembered today for its influential thesis that the best means for promoting and safeguarding political liberty is through a constitutional government that is subject to a separation of powers-an insight that would directly shape the formation of the American constitutional republic. The work also famously argues that successful political institutions must reflect the social and geographical aspects of the communities they govern and that legitimate governments are those that preserve legality and individual civil liberties. This edition was the first to be printed in the newly born United States of America and sets forth Montesquieu's enduring thought in thirty-one books that are divided into six sections. A masterpiece of political theory and sociology and a defining part of American history. Printed by Isaiah Thomas, Jun. sold by him and by Mathew Carey, Philadelphia; also by the various Booksellers throughout the Uni hardcover
