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

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.
