Demi-cuir postérieur. Dos lisse orné. Pièce de tire dorée. Figure brillante de la contre-révolution Antoine Rivarol entreprend de publier un Nouveau dictionnaire de la langue française commandé par Fauche. Son talent n'ayant d'égal que son dilettantisme il n'en publie que le Discours préliminaire qui est un véritable manifeste philosophique sur le langage ayant pour sous-titre "De l'homme de ses facultés intellectuelles et de ses idées premières et fondamentales". Le discours préliminaire est un ouvrage ambitieux à la fois une réflexion sur la phonétique une réflexion linguistique et un livre de philosophie du langage qui considère qu'on ne saurait parler de l'homme et du monde des idées sans parler de langage et de parole. Le second ouvrage est un monument élevé à la gloire de la langue française « ce qui n'est pas clair n'est pas français ». Quelques rares taches. Très bon exemplaire. A Paris, chez Cocheris, 1797. unknown

179715969à Paris: Chez Cocheris 1797. Fine. Chez Cocheris à Paris 1797 18.50 x 24 cm relié First edition. Two editions appeared at the same time this one and a second in Hamburg published by Fauche. See Tchemerzine V 409. The continuation of this preliminary discourse as well as the famous dictionary would never see the light of day. The second text appeared for the first time in Berlin in 1784 closely following the ""subject proposed by the Berlin Academy"". Tchemerzine V 403: 'Cette édition très bien imprimée est aussi recherchée que l'originale'. Half black shagreen Jansenist binding from the mid-19th century. Spine with 4 raised bands. The preliminary discourse is an ambitious work simultaneously a reflection on phonetics a linguistic reflection and a book on the philosophy of language which considers that one cannot speak of man and of the world of ideas without speaking of language and speech. The second work is a monument erected to the glory of the French language ""what is not clear is not French"". Born Rivaroli son of an Italian innkeeper Antoine Rivarol tutor in Lyon then in Paris introduced himself into the salons by calling himself Count de Rivarol; he would be famous in his time for combating the celebrities of the moment writers or philosophers against Beaumarchais Buffon or Mirabaud with violence and real talent for satire and polemic.
