In-8, demi-basane de l'époque, dos lisse orné de filets au noir et filets dorés, pièce de titre de maroquin rouge, 993 p. Édition originale. Homme politique, médecin, Ange Guépin (1805-1873) fut saint-simonien, sympathisant du fouriérisme et du communisme de Cabet. Franc-maçon, attentif au combat du droit des femmes, abolitionniste en matière d'esclavage, il se montra militant enthousiaste de l'association. Il joua, de plus, un rôle de premier plan dans la vie politique et sociale de Nantes au XIXe siècle. Dans cet ouvrage-fleuve, Ange Guépin retrace l'histoire des idées philosophiques, économiques et sociales des sociétés humaines et s'affirme comme le continuateur des idéaux de Saint-Simon, de Pierre Leroux et de Fourier. Une intéressante partie est consacrée à une interprétation organiciste des sociétés humaines. Cet ouvrage valut à l'auteur d'être révoqué de son poste de médecin et d'être traduit devant le Conseil académique. Cf. Michel Aussel, 'Le docteur Ange Guépin. Nantes, du Saint-Simonisme à la République', P.U. de Rennes, 2016. Mors fendillés, reliure craquelée dans sa longueur, papier uniformément bruni.

2 ouvrages reliés en un volume in-8, plein vélin de l'époque à petits rabats, lanières de cuir conservées. Edition originale de ces deux ouvrages, réfutation des théories exposées par Pierre Du Moulin, pasteur de Charenton, dans 'Les eaux de Siloé pour éteindre le Purgatoire...' (1603) où il niait l'existence du purgatoire. La première réfutation est due à un franciscain portugais, Suarez, confesseur de Henri IV et Évêque de Séez, qui rencontra Du Moulin. Les titres témoignent de la passion qui animait les auteurs et de la violence de cette controverse. (Caillet, 10418 pour le premier. Desgraves, 'Ouvrages de controverse entre catholiques et protestants', n°543 et 503. Pannier, 'L'Eglise réformée de Paris sous Henri IV', p.215 et p. 237). Ex-libris anciens et côtes de société de franc-maçonnerie (petit cachet). Bel exemplaire, très frais, dans sa reliure d'origine.
304 pages. Black and white illustrations. "Few of us have known until the release of this book that NAFTA may be an elaborate camouflage for a totalitarian police state stretching from the Canadian Arctic to the southernmost reaches of Mexico. Yet this is the thrust of a Secret Report by a North American Counter Intelligence Military Team and certain ancillary documents. The Report cites far-reaching legislation which shifted the responsibility for law enforcement in the U.S. to the U.N. The creation of MJTF and FINCEN seem preliminary to a massive round-up of North American citizens opposed to the New World Order." - back cover. Clean and unmarked with moderate wear.

Ensemble relié en 2 volumes in-8, plein veau havane marbré, dos à 5 nerfs ornés de compartiments fleuronnés et cloisonnés, pièces de titre et de tomaison de maroquin, tranches rouges (reliure maçonnique de l'époque). Rare ensemble réunissant le premier écrit du "Philosophe Inconnu" et sa "Suite" dans une reliure maçonnique de l'époque. 1- Edition originale sous page de titre de remise en vente. Le premier livre de L.-C. de Saint-martin, qu’il rédigea alors qu’il suivait l'enseignement de Martinès de Pasqually. "L’auteur, indigné de lire, dans Boulanger, que les religions étaient nées de la frayeur causée par les catastrophes de la nature, composa ce livre pour montrer, dans la nature même de l'homme, la connaissance sensible d'une cause active et intelligente, véritable source des allégories, des mystères, des institutions et des lois" (Gence, ‘Notice biographique sur L.-C. de Saint-Martin’, 1824) Cette édition aurait été imprimée par Jean-André Périsse-Duluc, député du tiers état aux États généraux de 1789 pour Lyon. Franc-Maçon, il fit partie de la maçonnerie mystique lyonnaise. 2- Edition originale de cette "suite" apocryphe de l’ouvrage de Saint-Martin qui serait l'œuvre de Charles de Suze. Réaction au rationalisme des Lumières, l'oeuvre de Saint-Martin exerça une influence majeure sur la génération romantique. (Caillet, III, 9762 et 9770. Dorbon, 4308. Guaita, 931. Chateaurhin, ‘Bibliographie du martinisme’, p. 17). Bel exemplaire, frais, très bien relié à l’époque, grand de marges. L’exemplaire est conservé dans une reliure maçonnique comportant 2 fois trois étoiles placées symétriquement dans les pièces de tomaison, rappelées par deux fois trois grains placés dans les caissons.
