Rousseau a "Genevan philosopher writer and composer of 18th-century Romanticism of French expression. His political philosophy influenced the French Revolution as well as the overall development of modern political sociological and educational thought." Rousseau's epistolary novel Julie ou la nouvelle Héloïse was first published 1761 … and this the first translation into English was published in the very same year. "The novel's subtitle points to the history of 'Héloïse d’Argenteuil and Peter Abelard' a medieval story of passion and Christian renunciation. The novel was put on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum. Although Rousseau wrote it as a novel a philosophical theory about authenticity permeates through it as he explores autonomy and authenticity as moral values. A common interpretation is that Rousseau valued the ethics of authenticity over rational moral principles as he illlustrates the principle that one should do what is imposed upon him by society only insofar as it would seem congruent with one's 'secret principles' and feelings being constituent of one's core identity. Thus unauthentic behavior would pave the way to self-destruction." Wiki. The novel was extremely popular in its day touted by some as the top 'best seller' of the century. According to Black the novel saw 14 English editions by 1800. Today the first edition somewhat uncommon on the market. Printed for R. Griffiths at the Dunciad, and T. Becket and P. A.

Nouvelle Ã©dition. London: 1781. Two twelvemo volumes 4 5/8 x 2 13/16 inches; 118 x 72 mm. 4 252; 4 276 pp. Engraved frontispiece portrait by Delvaux in Volume I. Contents: Volume I "Odes sacrÃ©es" "Odes Liv. II-IV" and "Cantates allÃ©goriques." Volume II "Epitres Liv. I-II" "AllÃ©gories Liv. I-II" "Epigrammes Liv. I-IV" and "PoÃ©sies diverses." Contemporary full red morocco attributed to DerÃ´me Le Jeune unsigned but with dentelles Ã l'oiseau characteristic of DerÃ´me to volume two. Covers with gilt triple fillet border smooth spines decoratively tooled in gilt in panels with two olive green morocco gilt lettering labels board edges with single gilt fillet gilt dentelles Ã l'oiseau all edges gilt bright blue endpapers. The absolute bare minimum of rubbing to extremities. A wonderful copy. "DerÃ´me was born on October 1 1731 became a master binder on March 31 1761 and was elected one of the Gardes en Charge of the Community of the Master Binders and Guilders of the City and University of Paris on May 10 1773 at the same time as FranÃ§ois Gaudreau binder to the dauphine. He died around the year 1788 i.e. 1790. the designs used by DerÃ´me on his bindings are extremely graceful and rival those of Padeloup to which they have a strong resemblance. It is be true that he purchased the material and stamps of this binder at the sale of his effects after his death it explains to some extent the great similarity of the ornamentation employed by the two artists. DerÃ´me executed many mosaic bindings but his great renown has been gained by his dentelles especially those in which he introduced a little bird with outstretched wings and which are in consequence termed dentelles Ã l'oiseau" Fletcher W.I. Bookbinding in France. Marius Michel in La Reliure FranÃ§aise says that DerÃ´me sought and found in the industries of his time the elements for new decoration and crowned his efforts with the dentelles to which he has given his name and which are distinguished from preceding ones by not being made up of the same tools in repetition but in combination thus affording more variety. "Jean-Baptiste Rousseau April 6 1671- March 17 1741 was a French poet. He was born in Paris the son of a shoemaker and was well educated. As a young man he gained favour with Boileau who encouraged him to write. Rousseau began with the theatre for which he had no aptitude. A one-act comedy Le CafÃ© failed in 1694 and he was not much happier with a more ambitious play Le Flatteur 1696 or with the opera Venus et Adonis 1697. In 1700 he tried another comedy Le Capricieux which had the same fate. He then went with Tallard as an attachÃ© to London and in days when literature still led to high position seemed likely to achieve success. "His misfortunes began with a club squabble at the CafÃ© Laurent which was much frequented by literary men and where he indulged in lampoons on his companions. A shower of libellous and sometimes obscene verses was written by or attributed to him and at last he was turned out of the cafÃ©. At the same time his poems as yet printed only singly or in manuscript acquired him a great reputation due to the dearth of genuine lyrical poetry between Jean Racine and AndrÃ© de ChÃ©nier. In 1701 he was made a member of the AcadÃ©mie des inscriptions; he was offered though he had not accepted profitable places in the revenue department; he had become a favourite of the libertine but influential cÃ´terie of the Temple; and in 1710 he presented himself as a candidate for the AcadÃ©mie franÃ§aise. "Verses more offensive than ever were handed round and gossip maintained that Rousseau was their author. Legal proceedings of various kinds followed and Rousseau ascribed the lampoon to Joseph Saunin. In 1712 Rousseau was prosecuted for defamation of character and on his non-appearance in court was condemned to perpetual exile. He spent the rest of his life in foreign countries except for a clandestine visit to Paris in 1738; he refused to accept the permission to return which was offered him in 1716 because it was not accompanied by complete rehabilitation. "Prince EugÃ¨ne and then other persons of distinction took him under their protection during his exile and at Soleure he printed the first edition of his poetical works. He met Voltaire in Brussels in 1722. Voltaire's Le Pour et le contre is said to have shocked Rousseau who expressed his sentiments freely. At any rate the latter had thenceforward no fiercer enemy than Voltaire. His death elicited from Jean-Jacques Lefranc marquis de Pompignan an ode that was perhaps better than anything of Rousseau's own work. That work may be roughly divided into two sections. One consists of formal and partly sacred odes and cantatas of the stiffest character of which perhaps the Ode a la fortune is the most famous; the other of brief epigrams sometimes licentious and always or almost always ill-natured"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Baptiste_Rousseau.

Rousseaus epistolary novel later known as Julie or the New Héloïse was first published in 1761 by Marc-Michel Rey in Amsterdam. The novels title translated Letters from two lovers living in a small town at the foot of the Alps is a nod to the history of Héloïse dArgenteuil and Pierre Abélard a medieval story of passion and Christian renunciation. The novel was initially put on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum. Although Rousseau wrote it as a novel a philosophical theory about authenticity namely secret principles and feelings and being constituent of ones core identity permeated through it. Rousseau explored autonomy and authenticity as moral values and in turn created in Julie a story of temptation sin and redemption that was easily relatable. According to Historian Robert Darnton there were at least 70 editions in print before 1800. So immensely popular publishers could not print copies fast enough so they rented the book out by the day and even by the hour. The work stirred a strong emotional response from readers and had raised Rousseau to prominence as an author. Worldcat locates 6 copies of this edition in North America.

Julie ou La Nouvelle Heloise: Lettres de deux amans habitans d’une petite ville au pied des Alpes Julie or the New Heloise: Letters from two lovers living in a small town at the foot of the Alps.

176172018Amsterdam: Marc-Michel Rey 1761. First edition of the first best-selling novel in history which made Jean-Jacques Rousseau the world's first celebrity author. Octavo six volumes bound in contemporary full calf gilt titles to the spine marbled edges marbled endpapers. An exceptional piece of literary history. A retelling of the legendary love affair between French nun Heloise d'Argenteuil and theologian Peter Abelard Rousseau's groundbreaking novel Julie or the New Heloise became an instant best-seller. Publishers could barely keep up with the high demand for copies of the story which evoked an unprecedentedly passionate response from readers particularly high-society women from whom Rousseau is known to have received thousands of love letters. Publishers capitalized on the unequivocally high demand for the novel by renting it to readers at a rate per day and even per hour. Due to its content the book was placed on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum List of Prohibited Books deemed lascivious and anti-clerical by the Roman Catholic Church. Although it was presented as a novel the book exists as a philosophical treaty on autonomy and authenticity as moral values which Rousseau perhaps argued to be ethically superior to rational and commonly-held moral principles. Arthur Schopenhauer cited Julie or the New Heloise as one of the four greatest novels ever written along with Laurence Sterne's Tristram Shandy Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship and Cervantes' Don Quixote. Historian Robert Darnton has argued that Julie 'was perhaps the biggest best-seller of the century.' Marc-Michel Rey unknown books

The plates are of flowers fruits bulbs leaves etc. of flowering plants and trees some showing whole plants and others showing details sometimes cut to reveal anatomical details. The book was issued in 1805 in both folio and quarto format. It is not surprising that this folio edition best reflects Redouté's superb botanical art. John Ruskin was one of many admirers of the work and in 1878 wrote to his bookseller F. S. Ellis: "Please at once set your Paris agents to look out for all copies that come up at any sale of Rousseau's Botanique with coloured plates 1805 - and buy all they can get." Rousseau's letters on botany were written from 1771 to 1773 but were not published in his lifetime. They first appeared in his Oeuvres in 1782. Exiled amongst the natural beauties of Switzerland in 1763 or 1764 Rousseau developed his interest in botany and made various collections of plant specimens or herbaria. See Lawrence Redouteana 15.
