Voltaire Francois Marie Arouet de
SEMIRAMIS; A TRAGEDY. Translated from the French of M. De Voltaire .
London: Printed for G. Kearsly 1760. Small quarto pp. 1-4 1 2-76 drab boards. First edition in English. Semiramis ninth-century queen of Assyria present-day Iraq was until the early twentieth century a figure of legend that had been well-established as of the classical period: begotten of the fish-goddess Atargatis and fed by doves until her rescue by a royal shepherd; bride of general Onnes and successor to his power and eventually to the throne of Assyria; founder of Babylon and every other monument in the region; long-lived brave wise and sexually potent she was turned into a dove at her death and worshipped subsequently as a surrogate of the Assyrian fertility goddess Astarte. Modern archaeological research by Lehman-Haupt and others has largely replaced legend with history but the legend was still alive and well in Voltaire's time. She was a female personification of all that was gaudy and glorious in pre-Christian antiquity and she furnished good material for this tragedy Voltaire's preference in drama composed in 1748 a year after his conte philosophique ZADIG. Voltaire's play has probably had more continuing vitality as the foundation of the libretto of the Rossini opera "Semiramide" 1823 widely considered as one of the best and last operas in the Baroque style. ESTC T62226. The front paste-down bears the bookplate of Alaskan bibliographer James Wickersham who attached to the rear paste-down the mailing label with canceled stamp of the British bookseller McLeish & Sons from whom presumably he obtained this book. Lacks the advertising leaf at rear a very good copy. #140101 Printed for G. Kearsly unknown

Voltaire Francois Marie Arouet de
The Ignorant Philosopher. With An Address to the Public Upon the Parricides imputed to the Families of Calas and Sirven. Translated from the French of M. De Voltaire
Glasgow: Printed for Robert Urie 1767 First Scottish edition published by Glasgow scholarly publisher Robert Urie. The London edition which was the first edition in English appeared the same year. Contemporary sheep. . Octavo. Hinges cracked but sound binding extremities rubbed. Contemporary ink signature of Rev. Henry W. Duchachet on half-title. Bookplate of the Duchachet Library in Philadelphia on front pastedown old library pocket on back pastedown. A good clean copy. The Philosophe Ignorant 'was written in a mood of exasperation and disgust produced by the impossibility of resolving the great metaphysical problems. In a series of brief sections Voltaire tries to answer the questions with which he begins: 'Who are you whence do you come what are you doing what will you become Or rather he more and more irritably points out how unanswerable they are and how insignificant is man when confronted with them" Besterman Voltaire p. 488. Though less well-known than his Glasgow neighbors Robert and Andrew Foulis Urie bap. 1713-1771 was an important Scottish Enlightenment publisher. His choice of titles was a bit different from that of his neighbors: "If these reflect his own taste he was a man of some culture with an inclination towards philosophy history and poetry and with little of his contemporaries' interest in sermons. He published very few of the Greek and Latin classics in the original languages…perhaps not wishing to compete with the Foulis press. The 1750s and even more the 1760s revealed an interest in the books of the French Enlightenment particularly translations of the works of Voltaire: Urie published more than twenty of these many within a year of their first translation into English. Other authors who feature prominently are Vertot Fenelon d'Alembert Formey and Rousseau" Oxford DNB. Printed for Robert Urie, unknown
