17607699<p>Geneve: Chez les Frères Cramer 1760 Early reprint published in the same year as the first edition. The first edition has a London imprint though it was actually printed in Geneva too and Voltaire's name does not appear on the title. Full modern speckled calf gilt-ruled spine edges stained red. Twelvemo. Small brown stain on verso of title-page and next recto some light dampstaining at top corner. Generally a very good copy. A spurious publication in which Voltaire blatantly pretends that this is a French translation of an original work by the brother of David Hume. According to Voltaire Hume's brother was pastor at an Edinburgh church and had produced two other plays which had been produced in London. "…il est le frère de ce célèbre philosophe Mr. Hume qui a creusé avec tant de hardiesse & de sagacité les fondements de la métaphysique & de la morale; ces deux philosophes sont également honneur à l'Ecosse leur patrie" preface. All editions of this work are rare. OCLC lists one copy of the present edition the Library of Congress copy. Of the first edition OCLC lists seven copies: Yale Maryland New York Public Library Cornell Harvard Texas Chicago.</p> Chez les Frères Cramer,

173446420<p>Basle i.e. London : by W. Bowyer 1734. First edition. Although an English translation had been published in London as "Letters Concerning the English Nation" in 1733 this is the first appearance of the original French text of the book now generally known as the "Lettres Philosophiques" and as "the first bomb thrown at the Ancien Régime". It has been said of Voltaire that "he came to England a poet and left it a philosopher": however that may be this book resulting from his stay in 1726-1728 is "one of the greatest and most influential works of the eighteenth century and beyond . the book that taught the whole of Europe how to think" Voltaire Foundation. The letters contrasting English and French thinking deal variously with religion in England - Quakers Anglicans Presbyterians and Socinians; politics parliament and Magna Carta; trade commerce and the businessman who "contributes to the felicity of the world"; English empiricism and Francis Bacon John Locke and Isaac Newton; and literature - Shakespeare above all Wycherley Congreve Swift and Pope etc. The London publishers' preface is interesting on the author's extreme reluctance to sanction a French-language edition - they had suppressed this edition for an entire year but others were now preparing illicit editions and they now had to displease the author to please the public. The furore which greeted the French editions when they appeared probably justified Voltaire's reluctance and the use here of a fake Basle imprint. Foolscap 8vo 171 x 103mm. viii228xxpp. Bound in a creditable modern rendition of early eighteenth-century full panelled calf; sprinkled edges; a few slight marks; Voltaire's name added to title-page in manuscript; faint fringe of very pale discolouration to fore-edge throughout text barely visible in most places; a few minor internal marks and tiny flaws but a good copy of one of the key books of the Enlightenment. Eighteenth-century 1768 ownership inscription now obscured.</p> Basle [i.e. London : by W. Bowyer], 1734. hardcover
52468Full black moroccan leather binding 12° duodecimo edition. Spine professionally restored. Some wear and scratches on the binding but still very decorative. One of the earliest edition of this famous work of De Voltaire.According to G. Barber there are 17 editions of Candide printed in 1759 all with the same title. After his breakup with Frederick II 1754 Voltaire set up house near Geneva where the Cramer brother became his primary printers. Hoping to make a profit on their first edition of each new work these booksellers sent copies throughout Europe; counterfeiters their began their work. This is most likely a pirate copy dated 1759.A fascinating item that speaks to the economics and competitiveness of the early modern book trade especially with respect to counterfeits and forgeries. When Voltaires <em>Candide</em> was first published in 1759 the work achieved immense popularity in Europe despite broad condemnation from secular and religious leaders. To profit from the frenzy surrounding the workand the anonymity of its author who had adopted the pseudonym Monsieur le docteur Ralph many pirate copies have been published. This is one of the same year as the original.NL Een van de vroegste edities gepubliceerd in 1759. Literair- filosofisch verhaal van Voltaire. Satire op de ideeën van de Duitse filosoof Leibniz wiens optimistische levensvisie door Dr. Pangloss wordt verwoord en door Voltaire genadeloos op de korrel wordt genomen.

The editor notes on the advertisement leaf that he recognizes that there might be criticism for the translation and publication of this work "on account of the author's freedom in regard to matters of religion" but feels that the quality of the work exceeds its criticisms and the "True religion is not afraid of bearing the strictest examination." There was strong interest in the French writers of "free thought" and "intellectual liberalism" in America in the eighteenth-early 19th century especially Voltaire and Condillac. The Enlightenment in France greatly influenced the American enlightenment. Library Company of Philadelphia "First American Editions" p. 5; Shipton and Mooney 31518 Printed by T. and M.
