181567010London: Baldwin Cradock and Joy 47 Paternoster Row C. Baldwin printer New Bridge-street London 1815. First edition in English 3 volumes engraved portrait frontispiece original chocolate-brown paper-covered boards paper labels on spines; a few chips and cracks but largely a very good sound set. In ink on verso of each front free endpaper: El: Rose / Kilravock Castle 27th June / 1816. Though she died in 1815 the signer is probably Elizabeth Rose of the clan Rose erstwhile owners of Kilvarock Castle. Saint-Pierre 1737-1814 was the author of the often-reprinted story Paul et Virginie 1789. In Harmonies Saint-Pierre attempts to prove the existence of God based on the wonders of nature. "After Rousseau and even more than Rousseau Bernardin was in French literature the apostle of the return to nature though both in him and in his immediate follower Chateaubriand there is still much mannerism and unreality" EB-11.

Negley 1551; Fortunati/Trousson 489f. <br><br>Paul et Virginie or Paul and Virginia is a novel by Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre first published in 1788. The novel's title characters are very good friends since birth who fall in love. The story is set in the island of Mauritius under French rule then named Ile de France which the author had visited. Written on the eve of the French Revolution the novel is hailed as Bernardin's finest work. It records the fate of a child of nature corrupted by the false artificial sentimentality that prevailed at the time among the upper classes of France. <br><br> Saint-Pierre attacked the issues of divided social classes present in eighteenth century French society. In Paul et Virginie Saint-Pierre describes perfect equality occurring on Mauritius where inhabitants share the same possessions have equal amounts of land and all work to cultivate it. They live in harmony without violence or unrest. These beliefs of Saint-Pierre's echo those of Enlightenment philosophers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau. <br> The book also presents an Enlightenment view of religion: that God or "Providence" had perfectly designed the world to be harmonious and pleasing.
