2 volumes in-12 (162 x 93 mm), plein veau marbré de l'époque, dos à 5 nerfs fleuronnés et cloisonnés, pièces de titre et de tomaison de veau, roulette sur les coupes, tranches rouges, (2), xli, (1), 216 p. et (4), 307 p., planche gravée allégorique en frontispice du tome I, vignettes de titre gravées, page de titre imprimée noir et rouge. "Véritable édition originale" selon Valette, probablement imprimée en France. Le portrait gravé en frontispice (qui regarde à gauche) et les vignettes seraient en premier tirage. Selon P. Versins, ce serait la seconde édition. "Sous une forme allégorique, Morelly dépeint une société fondée sur des principes communistes, morcelée en petits groupes économiques indépendants. Morelly nous présente une société sans vices, gouvernée par des lois naturelles et atteignant le bonheur grâce à la destruction des 'isles flottantes' c'est-à-dire des préjugés frivoles" (Hartig & Soboul). Raymond Trousson souligne, avec raison, qu'il agirait, qu'il s'agirait plutôt d'un projet anarchiste: rejet de la propriété individuelle cause de tous les maux, violente attaque contre le commerce capitaliste, mais aussi abolition des institutions politiques et juridiques, autorégulation d'une société sans police, ni armée, ni d'églises, célébration d'un érotisme socialisé et union libre, "toute la vie sociale y est décrite comme une fête".. "Au point de vue socialiste, c'est la plus importante des utopies du XVIIIe siècle" (Lichtenberger. 'Le socialisme au XVIIIe s.', p. 106-113). (Hartig & Soboul, 'Pour une histoire de l'utopie', p. 54. INED, n°3319. Maffey, 'L'Utopia della Ragione', n°7. Valette, 'Utopie', n°230. Versins, 'Sur une seconde édition…', "Ailleurs", n°0, oct. 1963, p. 17-20). Quelques infimes traces de restauration à la reliure. Ex-libris gravés et armoriés. Bel exemplaire, frais, bien relié à l'époque.
