1822LV2750Paris :: Persan et cie 1822. 1822. 2 volumes. Small 12mo. 4 viii 487 1 ; 4 468 pp. Contemporary quarter dark green gilt-stamped spine with raised bands gilt title marbled boards marbled endsheets. Very good. The Caracteres a translation of Theophrastus and a few letters mostly addressed to the prince de Conde complete the list of his literary work with the addition of one curious and much-disputed posthumous treatise. / The plan of the book is thoroughly original if that term may be accorded to a novel and skillful combination of elements exists in it. The treatise of Theophrastus may have furnished the concept but it gave little more. With the ethical generalizations and social Dutch paintings accompanying his original La Bruyere combined the peculiarities of the Montaigne Essais of the Pensees and Maximes of which Pascal and La Rochefoucauld are the masters respectively and lastly of that peculiar seventeenth-century product the "portrait" or elaborate literary picture of the personal and mental characteristics of an individual. The result was quite unlike anything that had been seen previously and it has not been exactly reproduced since although the essay of Addison and Steele resembles it very closely especially in the introduction of fancy portraits. / La Bruyere's privileged position at Chantilly provided him with a unique vantage point from which he could witness the hypocrisy and corruption of the court of Louis XIV. As a Christian moralist he aimed at reforming people's manners and ways by publishing records of his observations of aristocratic foibles and follies which earned him many enemies at the court. / In the titles of his work and in its extreme desultoriness La Bruyere reminds the reader of Montaigne but he aimed too much at sententiousness to attempt even the apparent continuity of the great essayist. The short paragraphs of which his chapters consist are made up of maxims proper of criticisms literary and ethical and above all of the celebrated sketches of individuals baptized with names taken from the plays and romances of the time. / These last are the greatest feature of the work and that which gave it its immediate if not its enduring popularity. They are wonderfully piquant extraordinarily lifelike in a certain sense and must have given great pleasure or more frequently exquisite pain to the apparent subjects who in many cases were unmistakable and most recognizable.

Ribbon marker. This work contains La Bruyère's masterpiece the "Caractères" as well as La Bruyère's discourse of admission at the Academy and his "Dialogues sur le Quiétisme." The plan of the book is thoroughly original if that term may be accorded to a novel and skilful combination of existing elements. The treatise of Theophrastus may have furnished the first idea but it gave little more. With the ethical generalizations and social Dutch painting of his original La Bruyère combined the peculiarities of the Montaigne Essais of the Pensées and Maximes of which Pascal and La Rochefoucauld are the masters respectively and lastly of that peculiar 17th century product the "portrait" or elaborate literary picture of the personal and mental characteristics of an individual.

As a Christian moralist he aimed at reforming people's manners and ways of thinking through publishing records of his observations of aristocratic foibles and follies which earned him many enemies at the court.
