Volney's Ruins; or Meditation on the Revolutions of Empires. Translated under the immediate inspection of the Author from the Sixth Paris Edition

183588767Boston: Charles Gaylord 1835. Early US Edition. Twelvemo. 17cm. Publisher's original linen spine lacking paper title label over decorated publisher's paper covered boards. 216pp. Strong and solid scuffed to the corners with the paper worn allowing the board to show through rubbed and a little battered in places with some light cosmetic fraying to the spine ends and a general unform wear that is oddly not unappealinig; internally foxed in a pale similarly uniform fashion with some truly eccentric oak gall ink inscriptions to the preliminary blanks stating that the book was part of the library of the Transylvania Whig Society of Kentucky and presented by a visiting Englishman the inscriptions seem to serve as a kind of lending record denoting that the book was especially approved of by Kathleen O'Pinkerly who seems to have borrowed it twice; the page block is worn and a little stained but solid and eminently handleable and the rear flyleaf blank is covered with small neat pencil annotations with a corner of the blank torn away. Cosmetically unappealing perhaps but aesthetically rather charming and undeniably a survivor. A very good copy by dint of completeness eccentricity and stubbornness. An early US reprint the US first was issued in New York in 1828 by Dixon and Sickles and it is likely there is a Gaylord edition from 1833 with all US imprints being pretty thin on the ground especially with illustrated publisher's boards. This is in addition an uncredited Jefferson-Barlow translation translated with the approval and co-operation of the author by none other than Thomas Jefferson who managed the first 20 chapters or so before distracting himself with political fripperies whereupon it was subsequently completed by Joel Barlow. Of the various translations the Jefferson-Barlow is considered superior by dint of Volney's close relationship with Jefferson their common views and sympathies and frankly the fact that it renders the whole piece rather more poetically than might be found elsewhere. Controversial and madly popular it's far more a work of radical philosophy than anything else; like Jefferson Volney was a committed Deist and a firm believer in the separation of church and state for reasons clearly expressed by him through Jefferson in this work. Even more radically for the time he was a propogator of the "Christ Myth" which suggested that there was little or no evidence for the actual existence of Christ as a historical personage and that He was far more likely to be an inspiring assemblage. As might be expected such views were polarizing engendering either inspired revolutionary support or cries of heresy and treason depending upon the reader. The upshot of this and a number of other controversies was that Volney in common with the Founding Fathers not being a man known for keeping his mouth shut was ejected from the United States on more or less invented charges of espionage and his philosophical musings on the ashes of Empires and the sad destiny of mankind somewhat discredited. This had little effect upon the historical importance of Volney's "Ruins" however and it was for example widely embraced by the Romantics and their followers with Shelley having a virtual addiction to its evocative embracing of decay and his wife Mary for reasons of her own making it the text from which Frankentein's monster learned what he could about the nature of mankind and developed a rather stereotypically male interest in the Roman Empire. An unusual edition of an influential and incendiary work. Charles Gaylord unknown

Voyage En Syrie et En Egypte Quatrieme 2 Vol

1807029967Paris: Chez Courcier 1807. Octavo. Fourth edition. In two volumes: Vol. I x 487 pages 1 p. advertisement and Vol. II 492 pages half-titles present in both volumes printed on laid paper with each map and image on very thick paper to enhance the preservation. The French academic philosophers of the late 18th century found that with advances in mathematics geodesy and field mapping previous works were limited for serious work. Comte de Volney 1757-1820 was a French orientalist whose study was impressive though he himself was not considered at the time a geographer. However modern geographers realize his work was closer to modern methods than his contemporaries see Anne Godlewska on Modern French Discipline of Geography p. 192-193. Originally published in 1787 this set produces not only the images of The Spinx the Pyramids of Giza Balbek and the Ruins of Palmyre but also the maps of Syria Egypt and of North Africa and the folding plan of the Temple of Balbet. Bound 1/4 red leather over red paper covered boards spine lettered and decorated in gilt all edges marbled with matching endpapers boards rubbed light wear to corners. A very good set.
