176830081à Rome Rome Paris: Aux dépens de la Congrégation de l'Index 1768. Fine. Aux dépens de la Congrégation de l'Index à Rome Rome Paris 1768 10 x 15.50 cm deux parties en un volume relié The first edition appeared in 1763 at the same address under the title: L'arretin ou la débauche de l'esprit en fait de bon sens. Contemporary full citron morocco binding. Smooth spine decorated. Green morocco title-label. Triple fillet frame on covers. Edges gilt. Handsome copy. Upper joint lightly rubbed. L'arretin consists of 25 essays and tales on subjects as diverse as Les nègres L'agriculture La chasteté ou le célibat Histoire de maître Pierre etc. These are all violent critiques sometimes direct sometimes satirical or allegorical of Biblical teaching the church and its history. Abbé Du Laurens 1719-1793 was a polemical and anti-religious writer whose works are all libertine and licentious but above all profoundly anti-religious. The author did not hesitate to descend to the lowest trivialities to support his critique but his comic inventions often astonishing earned him praise. Pursued for his books he took refuge in Holland then was imprisoned in Mainz in 1767 to end his days at 74 in a convent. 'This book is a lively and rather ribald critique of the principal stories of the Bible. L'epouse de Suze is a critique of La nouvelle Heloïse. Le sage Pangloss is Solomon the wisest of men it is an original chapter even through its singular biblical citations. L'histoire de Suzon is that of Susanna and the two elders l'histoire de Godemiché. The origin of these instruments of chamois or velvet that became so common in convents. Finally les Couvens de Jésuites is an allegory of the history of Sodom. In a word the entire volume is rather a facetious critique of the Bible and clerical institutions than a simply ribald book'.

176745831Geneve 1767. Original blue cardboard binding with contemporary handwritten paper title-label to spine. Pencil-numbering to inside of boards. A very nice and clean copy. Woodcut vignette to title-page. With the ex-libris of the notes Danish book collector K.F. Plesner to inside of front board. <br/><br/><em>Rare first edition of this interesting anonymously written continuation of Voltaire's Candide which wraps up the adventures of the hero. "Turning his back on both Voltarian satire and scepticism the novelist proposes a moralistic fable - the focal point of which is a rehabilitation of Leibniz's Theory of Optimism. The main body of the novel tells the story of Candide and his new wife the noble Zénoïde in their sumptuous Copenhagen townhouse. Before achieving this happy state however the couple endures various trials and tribulations reminiscent of the newly minted gothic genre. "Candide au Dannemarc" also features a satirical portrait of Jean-Jacques Rousseau." Éduard M. Langille from the introduction to the new edition of "Candide au Dannemarc" edited by him. Voltaire's "Candide" had inspired a sequel that appeared in 1760 which is attributed to Charles-Claude-Florent de Campigneulles but which might be by Henri-Joseph du Laurens. The present work is a direct continuation of that sequel although it ignores the happy ending of the previous work but evidently from the preface it is not written by the same author. It has still not been determined who the actual author is.The part on Rousseau pp. 148-167 in the present work has become quite famous portraying him satirically as trying to make a living in Copenhagen from copying music while plotting to escape to America. The novel ends with Candide leaving Denmark to be the Danish ambassador in Russia.A secoond edition appeared in 1769. </em> paperback
