Primera edición de este famoso opúsculo tocante al derecho natural y de gentes. El derecho natural es el que se aplica a todos los animales incluido el hombre en lo que tiene de animalidad; el derecho de gentes es el que se ejerce sobre los hombres en tanto que racionales. JoaquÃn MarÃn y Mendoza 1727-1782 fue abogado de los Reales Consejos académico de la Historia y alcalde del Crimen. La obra de JoaquÃn MarÃn interesa sobre todo como "exponente de una situación que predominaba en los cÃrculos dirigentes y en las capas cultas de la España del siglo XVIII con respecto al derecho natural racionalista" Manuel GarcÃa Pelayo. Una vez creada la nueva disciplina de Derecho Natural y de Gentes en los Reales Estudios de San Isidro de Madrid con el objeto de demostrar la unión necesaria de religión moral y polÃtica MarÃn quiso ofrecer un epÃtome de su origen y progreso de los autores y sus doctrinas y de sus sistemas y métodos principales presentando una "guÃa segura" a los que buscaban conocer los primeros elementos de esta ciencia. Con claridad y sencillez acertó a difundir esta ciencia nueva europea forjada en los siglos xvii y xviii en la lÃnea divulgativa de la época emprendida por Vattel Burlamaqui o Almici. Buen ejemplar.

Exemplify'd in One Hundred and Three Copper Plates Done by the Celebrated Monsieur Daret Engraver to the Late French King. With an Explanation of each Plate : Written Originally in French by Monsieur De Gromberville for the Use of the Said Prince. Translated into English by T.M. Gibbs late of Hart-Hall Oxon. A scarce and imposing first English edition of Gombervilles celebrated moral emblem book translated by T. M. Gibbs and illustrated with 103 copper-engraved plates by Pierre Daret. Issued as a substantial folio in 2 parts bound in 1 this is one of the most visually striking early eighteenth-century English moral / philosophical books combining emblematic imagery Stoic reflection and explanatory text in a grand illustrated format. With engraved frontispiece additional engraved title title vignette engraved initials headpieces and numerous full-page plates. A highly decorative and intellectually ambitious book equally appealing for its emblematic programme engraved work and sheer shelf presence. By Marin Le Roy de Gomberville Author Bio: Marin le Roy sieur de Gomberville 16001674 was a French novelist moralist and man of letters. His La Doctrine des Moeurs first appeared in seventeenth-century France and became one of the best-known emblematic moral works of its kind admired for the union of philosophical instruction and richly engraved illustration. Illustrated By: Pierre Daret Illustrator Bio: Pierre Daret was a French engraver and portrait painter whose work is closely associated with important seventeenth-century illustrated books. His plates for Gombervilles moral emblem text are central to the books enduring appeal. Synopsis: Work / historical context: Gombervilles Doctrine of Morality belongs to the great tradition of the emblem book in which moral and philosophical teaching is conveyed through images as much as through text. Drawing on Stoic thought and courtly didactic literature it presents human conduct vice virtue prudence ambition and self-command through a long sequence of engraved moral exempla. The 1721 English edition is an especially handsome survival of that tradition: a large folio translation by T. M. Gibbs illustrated after Pierre Daret and designed to impress as much visually as intellectually. Part moral manual part emblem book part engraved anthology of conduct and reflection it remains one of the most attractive English-language embodiments of early modern ethical literature.

In 1742 it would change into a more usual cookbook and be expanded to three volumes - in this latter form it was reprinted a number of times. The 1739 first edition is uncommon this 1740 edition considerably scarcer - it features a shortened preface and the addition of the Lettre d'un pâtissier anglois by Desalleurs and the Apologie Desmodernesou by way of response. The letter was first published a year earlier and the response in pamphlet form in 1740 - both are part of an argument over whether modern French cuisine in its reduction of foods to their essence was destroying national identity.
