Seller's Description:
Very Good. Leather. 12mo. Aux Depens de la Compagnie, London, UK. 1766. 2 volumes. 400, 434 pgs. First Edition/First Printing. Book smells of tobacco smoke. Bound in 3/4 brown leather with matching marble paper covered boards with gilt titles present to the spine. Boards have wear present to the extremities of the boards. With Bookplate of Samuel de Tournes present to the reverse of the front boards. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. A scarce literary work by radical French novelist and philosopher, Henri-Joseph Du Laurens (1719-1797). Combining liberal politics, religious criticism, and erotic escapades, the work perfectly captures the authors subversive character. An antiauthoritarian in every regard, Du Laurens, despite being an ordained priest, wrote many illicit and anti-clerical works until his arrest and imprisonment in 1767. First printed in London in 1766, initially attributed to Voltaire, the work was frequently condemned as immoral and as a result often pirated. This edition was likely the first to be legally produced in France, with the authorities presumably too distracted by the contemporary political atmosphere in the nation. E-05; 8vo 8"-9" tall.
