VOLTAIRE Francois Marie Arouet de 1694 1778
L�Homme Aux Quarante �cus
Paris: Ren� Kieffer 1925. 1925. 8vo. pp. numerous text illus. with pochoir hand-colouring. contemporary half morocco original coloured pictorial wrs. bound in. First Edition Illustrated by Joseph H�mard Limited to 500 copies this one of 480 on v�lin de cuve. One of the few of Voltaire�s works to deal with a distinctly economic subject. Directed against the Physiocrats and specifically Mercier De La Rivi�re�s Ordre naturel et essentiel des soci�t�s the witty and sarcastic tale takes its title from Mercier�s statement that in an organized state according to the physiocratic doctrine an average sum of forty crowns should suffice for the existence of each citizen. Voltaire singles out for special ridicule the proposed �impot unique� or single tax on land. The story revolves around the owner of a small estate yielding an annual net income of forty crowns who is alarmed at the promulgation of several edicts "by a few gentlemen who having some leisure have undertaken to govern the kingdom from their firesides". According to them the government "being by divine- and birth-right co-proprietor of his land he at least owes it one-half of his income" and that "as all wealth proceeds from land land is to bear the whole burden of taxation." Carteret IV 406. 1st Edition. Paris: Ren� Kieffer, 1925. unknown

VOLTAIRE FRANCOIS MARIE AROUET DE
MEMOIRS
London: G. Robinson 1784. FIRST EDITION IN ENGLISH. 187 x 114 mm. 7 3/8 x 4 1/2". 2 p.l. ii 225 pp. FIRST EDITION IN ENGLISH. ORIGINAL PUBLISHER'S THIN BLUE BOARDS AND PAPER SPINE. In a modern blue cloth folding box with black morocco label. ESTC T-1128. The expected wear to the temporary binding: paper flaking from spine front joint cracked and tender boards somewhat soiled but everything still intact. Faint browning and foxing right at edges otherwise an excellent copy internally the text fresh and clean with all of its ample margins preserved. This is an unsophisticated copy in its original temporary binding of the first English edition of Voltaire's "Memoirs" published in the same year as the French version. Although he was one of the most influential leaders of the Enlightenment and a towering figure in French literature in the present work Voltaire 1694-1778 writes a quiet intimate account of the years 1733 to 1760 focusing on two of the most important relationships in his life--with the Marquise du Ch�telet and with Frederick the Great of Prussia. Still the book hardly escaped notice being banned in Paris; the introductory letter here notes that seven booksellers had been jailed for distributing it. Most of the uproar was caused by Voltaire's unflattering portrait of the Prussian king and his criticism of the French monarchy. �milie du Ch�telet was arguably the most brilliant woman of her day; Voltaire declared that she was "a great man whose only fault was being a woman." In 1733 she and Voltaire retired to her chateau at Cirey where they could study without the distractions of Paris. Together they tackled the works of Newton which the Marquise translated into French for the first time and accumulated a library of more than 21000 volumes. Theirs was a calm happy relationship in contrast with the turbulent friendship between Voltaire and Frederick II who made what the philosopher considered unreasonable demands on his time. The memoir ends while Voltaire was living in Switzerland and he recounts with relish the freedom enjoyed in that republic. The "Memoirs" is not a common book to begin with and is rare in a temporary publisher's binding as here. G. Robinson unknown

Micromegas: a Comic Romance.
London: Printed for D. Wilson and T. Durham 1753. Voltairean proto-science fiction Duodecimo 165 x 99 mm. Recent calf black morocco label. Binding in fine condition; original endpapers preserved with offset toning and peripheral nicking contents lightly toned with occasional faint foxing tiny burnholes marginally impinging a couple of letters to pp. 7/8 and 149/150 minor peripheral paper faults to pp. 25/26 and 171/172 not affecting text large chip to pp. 201/202 with loss to text. A good copy. First edition in English of Voltaire's Micromegas a significant work of proto-science fiction detailing the visit of giants from Saturn and Sirius to earth and their derision at mankind's wars religions and pretensions. The novella was first published in French the previous year and is probably the first instance of aliens visiting Earth in fiction which "inaugurated a tradition of superior aliens who come to lecture humans about the need to improve themselves" Westfahl The Greenwood Encyclopaedia of Science Fiction and Fantasy vol. I. p. 17. The translation was undertaken anonymously by Tobias Smollett and later republished in Smollett's edition of Voltaire's works. It follows the 1752 London edition in French - most probably the source for Smollett's translation - in including two pieces extracted from Voltaire's upcoming Essai sur les mÂœurs et l'esprit des nations 1756 fragments of which appeared in various publications from 1746 to 1756. These two pieces the first on the Crusades and the latter a history of the human mind are not related to the story and were most likely included to increase the size of the book Micromegas itself only 40 pages long and to justify the cost of printing. With the bookplate to the front pastedown transposed from its earlier binding of Charles William Hamilton Sotheby 1820-1887 High Sheriff of Northamptonshire son of the commander of the Royal Naval Academy Charles Sotheby and grandson of the poet and translator William Sotheby. Anatomy of Wonder 1976 1-50; Bleiler Science-Fiction 2271; ESTC T137640; Howgego V V15a. For Smollett's role in translation see Brack Chilton & Keithley Miscellaneous Writings of Tobias Smollett pp. 83ff. London: Printed for D. Wilson, and T. Durham, unknown

Voltaire Francois Marie Arouet de
MICROMEGAS: A COMIC ROMANCE. BEING A SEVERE SATIRE UPON THE PHILOSOPHY IGNORANCE AND SELF-CONCEIT OF MANKIND. TOGETHER WITH A DETAIL OF THE CRUSADES: AND A NEW PLAN FOR THE HISTORY OF THE HUMAN MIND. Translated from the French of M. de Voltaire
London: Printed for D. Wilson 1753. 12mo pp. 1-2 1 2-252; collates A2 B-I12 K-L12 M6 rebound in full antique calf front and rear panels tooled in blind spine panel tooled in gold red leather title label affixed to spine panel. First edition in English. "In Micromegas a gigantic visitor from one of the planets of Sirius and his hardly less gigantic friend from Saturn arrive on Earth. They lift a ship out of the Baltic. Holding it in the palm of one hand the two giants examine it through a microscope and observe the human beings aboard with whom they talk. Rabelais was probably an influence here; Swift is also mentioned; but the inversion of having a space journey done to Earth rather than from it is characteristically Voltairean; so is the conversation. In the end the two enormous visitors present the creatures of Earth with a volume in which they promise the explanation of the universe will be found. When the secretary of the Academy of Sciences in Paris opens the volume he finds it contains nothing but blank pages." - Aldiss and Wingrove Trillion Year Spree pp. 85-6.
