A Mr. D'Alembert.sur son Article Genève dans le VIIme. Volume de l'Encyclopédie et particulierement sur le projet d'établir un Théatre de Comédie en cette Ville. - THE PLACE OF ENTERTAINMENT IN SOCIETY

17587874Amsterdam M.M.Rey 1758. 8vo. Beautiful contemporary full mottled calf with five raised bands and gilt red leather title-label to richly gilt spine. All edges Minor loss to lower capital but apart from that an absolutely beautiful copy internally as well as externally. Very nice clan and fresh. Printed on good paper with good margins. Engraved title-vignette. XVIII 264 8 pp. The rare first edition of this important work which inaugurated one of the most significant intellectual debates of the 18th century.The letter is Rousseau's answer to the article on the city of Geneva which his friend d'Alembert had written for the French "Encyclopédie". In the article d'Alembert had suggested that the citizens of Geneva establish a theatre which - so d'Alembert - would lead to a refinement of the mores and ways of the Genevans not to mention adding a bit of sparkle to a city which he described as dreary and sad. The response by Rousseau opened up what was one of the most important intellectual polemics of the 18th century.Rousseau a citizen of Geneva by birth uses the article by d'Alembert as a springboard for a reflection on the place of culture in society. He relates the institution of the theatre to the question of political morality and attempts to define boundaries between the morally innocuous and corruptive forms of entertainment. The letter is permeated by a pronounced Platonism. The arguments which Rousseau advances against the theatre closely recall those advanced by Plato in the Republic against the poets. As Plato Rousseau focuses his attention on the artificial nature of the theatrical spectacle which leads the mind astray away from the concerns of an industrious and fulfilled life. For anybody with an interest in the work and life of Rousseau the "Lettre à d'Alembert" is an invaluable document. Not only does it connect Rousseau's earlier writings - the Discourse on the Arts and Sciences 1750 and the Discourse on the Origin and Basis of Inequality among Men 1754 - to his later major work; it also offers an insight into the differences of opinion that would lead Rousseau to break with the circle around the encyclopaedists. The present edition is unknown to Dufour and Tchmerzine but recent research has determined that this is the actual first printing see for instance: Azers "Histoire de l'Impression et la publication de la "Lettre à d'Alembert"" Sénelier. hardcover

A Treatise on the Social Compact: or The Principles of Politic Law.

1764148170London: Printed for T. Becket and P.A. De Hondt in the Strand 1764. First edition in English of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's magnum opus; a seminal treatise on political philosophy and precursor of the French revolution. Twelvemo bound in full contemporary calf with gilt titles and tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands morocco spine labels lettered in gilt triple gilt ruling to the front and rear panels gilt turn-ins and inner dentelles all edges gilt marbled endpapers 3pp. advertisements at end. In near fine condition. Exceedingly rare with only a handful of copies traced in auction records exceptionally rare and desirable. "The Contrat Social remains Rousseau's greatest work. Rousseau believed passionately in what he wrote and when in 1789 a similar emotion was released on a national scale the Contract Social came into its own as the bible of the revolutionaries in building their ideal state. Still in print translated into every language in cheap editions and paperbacks it remains a crucial document of egalitarian government" Printing and the Mind of Man 270 discussing the 1762 first edition. Written in 1762 Rousseau's seminal work provided a philosophical justification for revolutionary change by promoting the principles of popular sovereignty the general will equality liberty and political participation. Rousseau argued that legitimate political authority comes from the consent of the governed rather than from divine right or hereditary monarchy. This idea inspired French revolutionaries to demand a government that represented the will of the people. Upon publication the distribution of The Social Contract in France was prohibited and Rousseau fled the country to avoid imprisonment. It was primarily Rousseau's chapter on civil religion rather than his ideas on liberty and sovereignty that caused the controversy. Immanuel Kant one of the most influential moral philosophers in Western philosophy acknowledged his debt to Rousseau's work in political philosophy of which The Social Contract is perhaps the closest to a complete statement. Kant wrote â€œI myself am a researcher by inclination. I feel the entire thirst for cognition and the eager restlessness to proceed further in it as well as the satisfaction at every acquisition. There was a time when I believed this alone could constitute the honour of humankind and I despised the rabble who knows nothing. Rousseau has set me right. This blinding prejudice vanishes I learn to honour human beings and I would feel by far less useful than the common labourer if I did not believe that this consideration could impart a value to all others in order to establish the rights of humanityâ€ Refl. 20:44. Printed for T. Becket and P.A. De Hondt, in the Strand paperback

Confessions

178269349Geneva: N.p. 1782. Full Description: ROUSSEAU Jean-Jacques. Les Confessions de J.J. Rousseau suivies des Rêveries du promeneur solitaire. Geneva: no publisher 1782. First edition of the first six books of the Confessions and first edition of all of the Reveries of a Solitary Walker. Two works in two octavo volumes 7 1/2 x 5 inches; 190 x 126 mm. 4 471 1 blank; 4 279 1 blank 300 pp. Woodcut head-pieces. Bound with both half-titles. Contemporary full marbled calf. Boards single-ruled in blind. Both spines tooled in gilt and with red morocco spines labels lettered in gilt. All edges red. Some very minor rubbing to edges. Volume II with some very minor worming to the first few signatures not affecting text. A paper flaw to outer corner of A4 not affecting text and a few instances of minor marginal dampstaining. Otherwise internally very clean. An exceptionally clean and bright copy in an absolutely exquisite contemporary binding. These first six books of the Confessions were the first part of the eagerly anticipated work to appear in print; they were rushed to the press as soon as available though the final six books appeared only in 1789 in a collected edition of Rousseau's works. Although the identification of the first edition has long been a contended question Tchémerzine argued that it is "probable" that this edition is "the first separate edition" but R.A. Leigh following J. Calemard in 1927 has conclusively proven that the present edition is in fact the true first. Formerly it was generally supposed that the first edition consisted of Volumes 19 and 20 of the posthumous collected works published in Geneva in 1782. However the work of Leigh and Calemar shows that the edition at hand is the first appearance in print of any part of this work that this edition was the first on the market and that it preceded the subscriber's copies of the Oeuvres posthumes. The latest research is close to that of Dufour the standard Rousseau bibliographer who assigns this edition a number prior to that of collected works but does not take a definite stand on priority. This edition was on sale by the end of April 1782 and was rapidly pirated. Tchmerzine X p. 63 b. Dufour 1.238 nos. 340 and 350. Senelier 1.898. See R.A. Leigh Unsolved Problems in the Bibliography of J.-J. Rousseau Cambridge: 1990 pp. 133-140 and figs. 62-64. HBS 69349. $4500. N.p. unknown

Discours sur l'origine et les fondemens de l'inegalité parmi les hommes. - THE INEQUALITY OF MAN

175561043Amsterdam Marc Michel Rey 1755. 8vo. A spendid recent pastiche-binding in perfect contemporary style. Marbled half caf with five raised bands to richly gilt spine. Marbled paper over boards. Occasional very light brownspotting and a very light marginal dam stain to ca 15 leaves. A splendid copy with good margins and printed on good paper. Old ex libris to inside of front board. Title-page printed in red and black engraved title-vignette the engraved frontispiece by Eisen engraved by Sornique bound at the end. 1 large engraved vignette and a few woodcut vignettes. Frontispiece LXX 2 262 2 -errata & avis pour le relieur pp. First edition first issue of one of Rousseau's main works and one of the most important works of political thought in general. The "Discourse on the Origins of Inequality" is considered Rousseau's first important work and the work that lays the foundation for his later thought.The present copy is with all the first issue pointers e.g. the erroneous spelling of "Jaques" the accent aigu in "conformé" added by hand by M.M. Rey on p. 11 and the three cancels pp. LXVII-LXVIII 111-112 and 139-140. According to Tchemerzine there were copies on thick heavy paper "Il existe des ex. en papier fort" of which this is presumably one. At least the dedication LXX pp. in the present copy is printed on very thick paper whereas the paper of the remaining leaves is a bit less heavy. The present copy has nice wide margins. According to Dufour there are five counterfeit-editions bearing the same date they are easily distinguishable from the first issue. Like his "Discourse on the Sciences and Arts " from 1750 the "Discourse on the Origins of Inequality" was written as a response to an essay competition from the Academy of Dijon. This work is thus often referred to as the "Second Discourse". Unlike the first this did not win him a prize even though it is was also then considered a far more accomplished work and now counts as one of his three main works together with the "Contract Social" and "Émile". It is in the present work that Rousseau begins to develop his theories of human social development and moral psychology and it is furthermore this work that for the first time clearly divides him from the Encyclopédiste mainstream of the French Enlightenment. The work is famous for Rousseau's portrayal of a multi-stage evolution of humanity from the most primitive condition to something like a modern complex society which has gone down in history as one of the most important portrayals of man and society. Furthermore the work is famous for its long preface.When Rousseau had converted to Catholicism he also lost his rights to the status of Citizen of Geneva. This right was regained in 1754 though when he reconverted to Calvinism and a large part of his "Discourse on the Origins of Inequality" consists in a dedication to the state of Geneva. This preface is probably one of the most famous prefaces in the history of modern thought as it constitutes not only a highly ironical and satirical praise of his birthplace but also a masterpiece of utopian political thought. Geneva is praised as the good republic worthy of admiration for the stability of its laws and institutions the common spirit of its inhabitants the well behaved women that inhabit it and the good relations with neighbouring states. Not only is it this piece of political fiction that provides us with an imminent insight into how a state should ideally be according to Rousseau an ironical description of what Geneva was not it was also a fierce attack on Paris.
