‎Select essays from the encyclopedy being the most curious entertaining and instructive parts of that very extensive work written by Mallet Diderot D'Alembert and Others the Most Celebrated Writers of the Age‎

‎London: Printed for Samuel Leacroft 1772. 4 iv 2 372pp. With half-title. Nineteenth-century maroon roan gilt titled to upper board. Marbled endpapers with the later book-label of 'Iain J.A.S. Woolley' to FEP pencilled inscription of the same owner to blank fly-leaf. Slightly rubbed a little chipped to joints at head of spine. Marginal paper flaw to F1. Barring the abortive attempt to translate the entire French L'Encyclopedie into English only the first fragment of which appeared as The plan of the French Encyclopaedia London 1752 this is the first significant appearance in English of the ground-breaking reference work of the enlightenment. Appearing in the same year as the final folio of the French edition it was apparently little noticed on publication. Only The London magazine appears to have provided a contemporary review and it was far from complimentary: 'A collection of letters on various subjects by some of the most eminent literati that have lately appeared in France.the translation is lame the spirit and elegance of the original is totally evaporated'. Included in this selection are seven essays ascribed to Mallet three to D'Alembert including 'Des Cartes' Philosophy' two to Diderot including 'Cards' 'Conjugal Infidelity' by Toussaint and a further nine pieces as varied as the 64pp 'On Libraries' 'On the Canadians' and 'Ante-Diluvian Philosophy' either unsigned or indicated as collaborations. Although institutionally relatively well catered for with a few notable exceptions this book is nonetheless uncommon in commerce with no copies recorded in auction records of the recent decades.

‎Statues Equestres. Sculpture Fonte des Statues Equestres Contenant Six Planches equivalentes a douze a cause de quatre doubles & d'une triple Casting of equestrian sculptures‎

‎Paris 1771. First Edition. Buckram cloth folio folder. . Near Fine. Folio 38.5 by 25 cm with two double plates 50 cm wide and the triple plate 68 cm wide. The six plates show the steps in the casting of massive equestrian statues one of the staples of public monuments before the twentieth century. As the rule with the plates in the Diderot and d'Alembert Encylcopedie though the plates are handsome works of art transcending their pedagogic purpose and the images here have an element of the curious and novel that separates them from more traditional equestrian artwork. The plates and their two page textual description that precedes them were carefully removed from the larger volume and remain attached to each other like a thinner brochure. Other than occasional light and insignificant soiling and minor age toning the plates are clean and fresh. The folder made to house them is of a modern buckram cloth decidedly utilitarian in appearance but not unattractive with their multi-color ribbon ties. <br/><br/> hardcover‎
