Washington Square Press New York: 1967. Softcover. reading copy. Name of previous owner on inside back cover. In this book Rousseau was at pains to stress the connection between liberty and law freedom and justice. Arguing that the ruler is the people's agent not its master he claimed that laws derived from the people's General Will. Yet in preaching subservience to the impersonal state he came close to defining freedom as the recognition of necessity. ISBN: 0671628585. Washington Square Press, New York: 1967 paperback

6 109 1 blank pp.First edition of a collection of sacred songs in verse selected from his own works by Jean Baptiste Rousseau 1671-1741 most of them based on psalms and a few on other biblical texts. Born in Paris Rousseau published his Cantates françoises around 1705 and established a good reputation for his lyrics. His lampoons and some obscene verses supposedly written by him occasionally got him into trouble but he had a promising career ahead of him when he published his Oeuvres in 1712. In that year however a dispute over offensive verses supposedly written by him forced him into exile in Brussels. He lived there and elsewhere abroad for the rest of his life sometimes publishing selections of his work such as the present one and returning to Paris only for a clandestine visit around the time he published the present collection. Although his poetry appears to have sold fairly well and his lyrics continued in demand with musicians he remained in financial straits his exile perhaps making it difficult to gain the patronage essential to success in that day. Rousseau gained greater fame posthumously especially as the creator of the "French cantate" and is still considered the best French lyricist of the period. With the author's signed autograph presentation inscription to l'Abbé Cochard on an endleaf and a couple corrections in the text also in his hand. With one quire slightly browned and further occasional minor foxing or a small marginal stain but otherwise in very good condition and with generous margins. The chemicals used to mottle the leather have eaten away its surface in places and the spine has been repaired at the head foot and hinges but the binding is now structurally sound.l H.A. Grubbs Jean-Baptiste Rousseau: his life and works p. 226; not in Cioranescu; Tchemerzine. hardcover
