176961288Munster Perrenon 1769. 8vo. Bound in a very nice contemporary half calf binding with four raised bands and richlty gilt spine. Center and corners of boards with gilt flower ornamentation. Small paper-label to upper part of spine. Traces from label ex-libris having been removed from verso of front board. A nice and clean copy. 143 pp. <br/><br/><em>The exceedingly rare second edition of Brument’s attempt at a sequel to Rousseau's "La Nouvelle Héloïse" with the story revolving around Henriette the daughter of Julie de Wolmar a central character in Rousseau's novel. The first edition was published in Geneve in 1768 – both editions are of the utmost scarcity and are rarely found in the trade. “Henriette de Wolmar†is part of a broader trend in the 18th century where Rousseau's “La Nouvelle Héloïse†inspired numerous derivative works including sequels parodies and adaptations – all early examples of fan-fiction. The success of Rousseau's novel sparked a wave of creative responses as readers and writers sought to expand reinterpret or critique the original story. In Rousseau's original work “La Nouvelle Héloïse†Julie is portrayed as a virtuous woman who navigates the complexities of love duty and social expectations. Brument's sequel however shifts the narrative focus to Julie's role as a mother particularly highlighting her possessiveness and jealousy towards her daughter. This jealousy serves as the central conflict of the story illustrating the psychological and emotional turmoil that can be within family relationships. Provenance: Valdemar's Castle. </em> hardcover
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. <br/><br/><em>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. </em> hardcover

Translations into several European languages quickly followed the first printing in French in 1762."Few books have had had greater immediate effect on English educational thought than Rousseau's <i>Émile</i>. Coming at a time when new stirrings disturbed the calm waters of the eighteenth century English education its ideas fused with those of radical and scientific thinkers to create new insights into children into methods of teaching and the scope of the educational process and these gave new directions to English educational thought. Modern educational methods in England have their origin in the emergence in the late eighteenth century of a new school of theorists who took <i>Émile</i> as their guide" Stewart and McCann <i>The Educational Innovators</i> p.23<br />Kenrick 1725-1779 miscellaneous writer "had a strong love of notoriety a jealous and perverse temper and was often drunk and violent. He became the enemy of every decent and successful person and so notorious as a libeller that few condescended to answer him" D.N.B. For his translation of Rousseau's <i>Eloisa</i> 1761 he was awarded the degree of LLD by the University of Aberdeen. A preface by him was included with this translation. Printed for T. Becket and P.

Translated from the French by the translator of Eloisa William Kenrick. ESTC T137131. Graesse 23. Lowndes 2134. First published in English in 1762 this is an early translation of Rousseau's revolutionary treatise on the education of young people. Published in France under the title of Emile or On Education these volumes expound Rousseau's views of human nature juvenile psychology and what we ought to strive for in shaping the minds and lives of the young. The author implores teachers to examine their pupils and to consider what they can learn from them rather than the other way round. Rousseau's work proved controversial as it recommended that young people receive no formal education until adolescence and that young people find religion freely and through nature rather than exposing them to a formal church setting. Rousseau's Emile would be censored and the author was forced to move around Switzerland until he fled to England to escape persecution from religious authorities. Rousseau's work also includes a section on education for women a work which remains hotly debated by modern-day feminist scholars. The author here writes on the natural goodness of humanity and provides a system for tutors to elevate the best of human nature in their pupils. The sets joints are heavily rubbed and the spines have a few chips to their leather. The leaves are clean and sharp. Printed for T. Becket and P.A. de Hondt hardcover
