112680London James Asperne 1805. . Second edition; 8vo 175 x 115 mm; printed in English and Farsi considerable near-contemporary manuscript notes to margins and spaces in first and last few leaves as well as intermittent in text title page a little frayed with small marginal repair inner hinges strengthened; contemporary calf rebacked and recornered gilt lettering piece to spine well annotated otherwise a very good restored copy; lxiv 13-267pp.<br /> One of the earliest attempts to produce a compendium and dictionary of legal terms used in India by one of the pioneers in Arabic printing in Europe. One of the earliest texts printed in England with nastaliq script which Samuel Russeau had initially commissioned for The Flowers of Persian Literature 1801. <br /><br />Samuel Russeau 17631820 established the Arabic Press in London published some of the first English translations of several important Arabic and Persian works and compiled some of the earliest Arabic-English and Persian-English language texts of which this is one. His works contributed significantly to early study in Persian texts and his dictionaries were vital to the East India Company and their officers acting in India.<br /><br />This volume was evidently in the hands of an English traveller in India to be used as a working dictionary for their time spent there. It is adorned throughout in near-contemporary annotations which pertain to the use of certain words in context or alternative meanings as well as notes for their personal use relating to the East India Company.<br /> London, James Asperne, 1805. unknown

17791748Original manuscript / ink drawing. c.1779-1788. Pen and ink portrait of Jean Jacques Rousseau in the garden at Ermenonville titled beneath "venant d'herboriser dans les Jardins d'Ermenonville au mois de Juin 1778" along with a printed version of the image signed Mayer Georg Friedrich Meyer engraved by J. M. Moreau in 1779. Each 15 x 10cm. Accompanied by an ink manuscript letter 10.5 x 8cm headed "Nuneham July 21" presenting the images: "Lord Harcourt sends his compts. to Mr. Malthus and at the request of Mr. le Mqs. de Girardin encloses this portrait of J: J: Rousseau". Contained within the original postal cover addressed to Mr. Daniel Malthus redirected from his London address to Cookham signed at the foot by Harcourt under the parliamentary privilege franking system with additional "free" handstamps to the front panel and further postal markings to the reverse the specific types of postal markings on the cover indicate a date range of 1779-1788. The ink portrait engraved portrait and postal cover all have historical burn marks and associated loss as well as toning and light foxing; the letter remains in good order. A fascinating and intimate gift linking several late eighteenth-century intellectuals all connected to the French philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau in the form of two portraits of the philosopher one ink one engraved sent from Rousseau's last pupil René de Girardin Marquis of Vauvray 1735-1808 via the radically-inclined politician and gardener George Harcourt 2nd Earl Harcourt 1736-1809 to the father of the famous economist Thomas Malthus Daniel Malthus 1730-1800 himself a friend of Rousseau.</p><p>The present portrait depicts Rousseau in the final weeks of his life 'botanizing' in the garden at Ermenonville the first French landscape garden created by his pupil René de Girardin who here sends the portrait. Ermenonville was itself inspired by Rousseau's ideas created by Girardin as an illustration of his philosophical and social beliefs regarding the place of man in nature. Within the garden Girardin began construction of a house for Rousseau modelled after the "Élysée" of Julie in Rousseau's novel <em>La Nouvelle Héloïse</em>. Rousseau himself visited the garden in May 1778 staying in a small thatched cottage where he remained until his death in July that year. Girardin subsequently made a tomb for Rousseau at Ermenonville which became a destination of pilgrimage for his admirers until his body was re-interred at the Pantheon in Paris in October 1794. Following Rousseau's death Girardin and two other of his friends of prepared a complete edition of his works using the manuscripts of some of his most important writings including <em>Les Confessions </em>and <em>Les Rêveries du promeneur solitaire</em> which he had left behind at Ermenonville. This new edition was published in Geneva between 1780 and 1782 and contributed greatly to the spread of Rousseau's ideas throughout France and beyond in the years leading up to the French Revolution.</p><p>The original drawing of Rousseau at Ermenonville was executed by the German artist Georg Friedrich Meyer 1733-1779 who also resided with Girardin at Eremenonville during his final years and where he became well acquainted with Rousseau. Other similar versions of this drawing by Meyer exist one being in the collection of the Fine Art Museum of San Francisco and it is unclear as to whether the present pen and ink drawing is an original work by Meyer or a contemporary copy of the engraving - either way its origin from the hands of Girardin himself provide it with sufficient interest. </p><p>The present two portraits subsequently made their way to the politician George Harcourt 2nd Earl Harcourt previously Viscount Nuneham a supporter of John Wilkes friend of Catherine Macaulay opponent of the war against the American colonies and pioneering garden designer. Here he apparently acted as an intermediary in this distinguished friendship circle sending the pictures on to Daniel Malthus - enlightened gentlemen friend of David Hume and Rousseau and father to Thomas Malthus.</p><p>Daniel Malthus had first become acquainted with Rousseau when he visited him at Môtiers in May 1764. He later invited Rousseau and his wife Thérèse to stay at his estate "The Rookery" near Dorking Surrey during the couple's visit to England in 1766 with Malthus hoping to find them a place to settle nearby. They visited the Malthus home for a day with Hume about three weeks after Thomas's birth but ultimately settled in Derbyshire for the remainder of their visit. Daniel and several family members subsequently went north to visit Rousseau joining him on botanical expeditions - a shared passion. Rousseau and Malthus maintained a lifelong correspondence and botanical exchange with the pair enthusiastically swapping English and French literature botanical specimens and philosophical musings. Later in life Rousseau would divide his personal herbarium among his friends sending parts of it to Daniel who also ultimately purchased his botanical library.</p><p>Daniel Malthus was - like Girardin - a dedicated Rousseauist using like many enlightened families of the period Rousseau's <em>Émile</em> as a guide to the education of his children; as he described in a letter to Rousseau of 1768 his children botanized in their local area went on nature walks carried out farm work and conducted their own little experiments. Indeed in his last known letter to Rousseau he declared "if I am ever known it will be as the friend of Rousseau". He would however ultimately be best known by his progeny Thomas who would go on to famously argue against the writings of the thinkers who proclaimed humanity's perfectibility preferred by his father including Rousseau William Godwin and the Marquis de Condorcet. Regardless of this Daniel keenly supported his adult son's endeavours with Thomas's earlier unorthodox education itself also having played a key role in shaping his knowledge of natural law and mathematics.

XVI 460 XI 316 pages Original Hardcover with dustjacket in protective Mylar. Very good condition with only minor signs of external wear. Name of preowner on endpaper. This is an established work ofmajor importance by the distinguished left wing French writer.

His political philosophy influenced the Enlightenment in France and across Europe as well as aspects of the French Revolution and the overall development of modern political and educational thought. Rousseau's novel Emile or On Education is a treatise on the education of the whole person for citizenship. His sentimental novel Julie or the New Heloise was of importance to the development of pre-romanticism and romanticism in fiction. Rousseau's autobiographical writingshis Confessions which initiated the modern autobiography and his Reveries of a Solitary Walkerexemplified the late 18th-century movement known as the Age of Sensibility and featured an increased focus on subjectivity and introspection that later characterized modern writing. His Discourse on Inequality and The Social Contract are cornerstones in modern political and social thought. During the period of the French Revolution Rousseau was the most popular of the philosophes among members of the Jacobin Club. He was interred as a national hero in the Panthéon in Paris in 1794 16 years after his death. Wikipedia hardcover
