London: Richard Royston 1658. Second edition enlarged and corrected. 12mo pp. 24 359 147 1. With the half-title and a fine folding plate of St. Ignatius and four other Jesuists. Lacks the paste-downs. Bound in rubbed contemporary calf lacks the corners of two leaves in the preliminary matter which affects a couple of letters only. Generally a good clean copy. The "Additions to the Mystery of Jesuitisme" paged separately with a special title-page with an index and adv. leaves. Wing P644; Keynes p. 124. A distinguished French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal 1623-1662 took the side of the Jansenists in their contest with the Jesuits. This celebrated piece was first published in 1656 and ridiculed the Jesuits. Voltaire noted in his "Siecle de Louis XIV" that "these letters may be considered as a model of elquence and humour. The best comedies of Moliere have not more wit than the first part of them; and the sublimity of the latter part is equal to any thing in Bossuet." He also calls Pascal the first of the French satirists. The "Letters" were widely translated. Richard Royston unknown

First American Edition of the Pens�es. Blaise Pascal 16231662 the great French scientist and religious philosopher was famous as a youth. He wrote a paper before he was 16 on conic sections which won the respect of the mathematicians of Paris. At 19 he invented a calculating machine. Credited with founding the modern theory of probability Pascal also discovered the properties of the cycloid and contributed to the advance of differential calculus. In physics his experiments increased knowledge of atmospheric pressure through barometric measurements and of the equilibrium of fluids see Pascal's law. As a young man Pascal came under the influence of Jansenism and in 1651 his sister Jacqueline who had also embraced Jansenist beliefs entered the convent at Port-Royal the center of the movement. As a result of the death of his father and of his own narrow escape from death Pascal in 1654 experienced what he called a "conversion" and thereafter turned much of his attention to religion. When Antoine Arnauld a noted Jansenist was attacked by the Jesuits Pascal championed him in his Lettre escrite � un provincial 1656. Those Provincial Letters rendered into Latin quickly circulated throughout Europe and they still hold a leading place in the literature of polite irony. Pascal's religious writings were posthumously published as Pens�es de M. Pascal sur la religion et sur quelques autres sujets 1670. In the Pens�es famous both as a religious and philosophical classic Pascal states his belief in the inadequacy of reason to solve man's difficulties or to satisfy his hopes. He preached instead the final necessity of mystic faith for true understanding of the universe and its meaning to man. W145 Rt/R. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Good. J. S. and C.

Paris: Guillaume Desprez 1670. First edition second issue the first issue of 1669 - virtually unobtainable - is known by 2 copies only both in France; 12mo pp. 82 365 21; printer's device on title page engraved headpiece woodcut ornaments; 19th-century full brown levant by the Paris binder Trautz-Bauzonnet gilt-lettering direct on spine gilt turn-ins a.e.g.; very lightly scuffed else fine. Blaise Pascal 1623-1662 was a French mathematician physicist and religious philosopher. He laid the foundation for the modern theory of probabilities formulated what came to be known as Pascal's principle of pressure and propagated a religious doctrine that taught the experience of God through the heart rather than through reason. The subject of endless controversy these fragmentary meditations on faith and reason influenced generations of thinkers both sceptics and believers alike making this work a fundamental text in the history of western thought and literature.
