177520090“Londres†but Amsterdam 1775. Contemporary gilt-ruled calf flat spine and label gilt board edges and turn-ins gilt gold edges blue silk marker. In excellent condition. A scathing dismissal of the miracles cited in the Bible. Purporting to be a partial translation of the Latin manuscript Theophrastus Redivivus the first systematic atheistic philosophy the text argues that pagans have performed miracles as often as Jews and Christians. The anonymous author cites paranormal events in Greek and Roman mythology as analogous to the miracles of Christian tradition and claims that the existence of oracles and pagan religion after the birth of Christ prove the existence of extra-Christian miraculous power.<br /> <br /> Although the author remains a mystery the text was likely translated and disseminated by Paul Holbach a Franco-German philosopher and atheist. For obvious reasons this title bears a false imprint but Holbach’s works were usually printed in Amsterdam.<br /> ESTC T111947; see Yve-Plessis 267 and Caillet 3835. unknown
177436999à Londres London Amsterdam: S. n. Marc Michel Rey 1774. Fine. S. n. Marc Michel Rey à Londres London Amsterdam 1774 12.50 x 19.50 cm relié Rare and interesting gathering of these two works. New edition of the Système de la nature after the rare first edition of 1770 and first edition of Helvetius's work at the same date of 1774 as this new edition of Mirabaud; in reality three editions appeared at the same date with different collation without being able to determine if there is a true first edition. Contemporary full marbled sheep binding. Richly decorated smooth spine. Red morocco title label and black morocco volume label. Red edges. Tail headcaps torn away. A brown stain on the upper board of volume I. Restoration using a piece of leather on the upper board of volume II. Fairly good copy. Helvetius's work is an exegesis and examination of the Système de la nature the author seems to have condensed the material in the form of maxims and assertions all resting on a strong materialist creed. We now know that the work may not be by Helvetius although we recognize his philosophy in it. As for Mirabaud's Système de la nature it was received like a bombshell in literary circles and ultimately quite poorly received by the philosophers. It was not d'Holbach's openly materialist theses that were condemned but the demonstration of atheism and anticlericalism. S. n.[ Marc Michel Rey] hardcover

Published the same year as the first edition. Holbach was the foremost exponent of atheistic materialism in the Enlightenment. In the Politique Naturelle La Morale Universelle and the Système Sociale Holbach attempted to construct a system of ethical and political values based on mans physical nature and primary needs as the only desirable alternative to the illusory and harmful system predicated on supernatural theology.

First edition. Paul-Henri Dietrich Thiery d'Holbach (1723-1789), the formemost exponent of atheistic materialism and the most intransigent polemicist against religion in the Enlightenment. On settling in Paris, Holbach had associated with the younger philosophes who, with Diderot, d'Alembert and Rousseau, were grouping around the Encyclopédie, to which he also became a major contributor. His Salon soon became the main social center, and a sort of intellectual headquarters, for the Encyclopedist movement. Among those attending were Diderot, Grimm, Helvétius, d'Alembert, Rousseau, Boulanger, Condillac, Naigeon, Turgot, and Condorcet. The Baron also counted among his acquaintances many foreigners, notably Hume, Gibbon, Smith, Priestley, Walpole, Garrick, Sterne, Beccaria and Franklin. It is little surprizing that Holbach was also known as le premier maître d'hôtel de la philosophie. Almost everything he wrote -whether because it expounded atheism and materialism, attacked Christianity, or castigated absolute monarchy, the state church, and feudal privilege- was highly subversive under the Ancien régime and could have exposed him to the severest penalties. Consequently, his innumerable manuscripts were usually forwarded through secret channels to Holland for publication, after which the books were smuggled back into France.

177654261Amsterdam: Chez Marc-Michel Rey 1776. First edition 3 volumes 8vo pp. 5 vi-xxiv 1 2-286; 5 2-256; 5 2-283; engraved vignette title pages; contemporary full mottled calf gilt-decorated spines. red and black morocco labels; moderate wear especially at the tops of 2 spines and the bottom of another; marbled edges and endpapers; ex-Forbes Library Northampton Mass. with bookplates and perforated stamps in the title pages; minor dampstains on the edges of a few leaves; a good reasonably sound copy. As an early atheist and critic of the Church Baron d'Holbach was an influential figure in the French Enlightenment. Known for his lavish dinner parties he hosted various intellectuals such as Denis Diderot Charles-Georges Le Roy Jean-François Marmontel abbé Guillame-Thomas-François Raynal and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Holbach's work here heavily influenced by Locke and Hobbes discusses a universal system of ethics and political philosophy based upon the nature of man. Holbach posited that people are concerned with their self-preservation and their own happiness but are ultimately social creatures. Human happiness and self-preservation can be best achieved through altruistic co-operation with others and according to Holbach this co-operation is what motivates the acquiring of virtues. When individuals make this social contract with one another they expect their governing body to function in a utilitarian manner to uphold their basic rights such as a right to property freedom of speech and freedom of religion. When these rights were violated Holbach argues the people have a right to revolution. Volume I discusses a theory of morality volume II the practice of morality and volume III the duties of one's private life. Holbach often published anonymously as his ideas were considered dangerous and contemptible in a time when a humanist theory of morality was seen as anathema in a pre-dominantly Christian western world "Paul-Henry Thiry Holbach" in Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

18934“Londres†=Amsterdam. Later drab wrappers over stab-stitching lined with printer’s waste. Old library shelf label manuscript spine title stamp “Ex-libris D’Espritâ€. Soiled final leaf gnawed lacking half-title but a genuine copy of an inflammatory text. Second edition a diatribe against Catholic culture intended for a vernacular francophone audience. The author condemns the Church for its violent persecutions stance against free thinking the Inquisition treatment of Protestants and superstitions. The text was inspired by Thomas Hope’s Considerations upon war upon cruelty in general and religions; Holbach translated the points salient to his arguments into French and did away with the parts not related to religion. He argues that the dogma of Hell turns God into a demon who casts most into an eternal flame. It is obvious why he published this book under a false imprint—France was still a staunch Catholic nation.<br /> Vercruysse Bibliographie descriptive des ecrits du Baron Holbach 1775 D1. unknown
