First Edition with Illustrations by Clara Tice 1888-1973 Limited to 1000 copies this one of 250 on deckle-edge Pannekoek paper copy unnumbered. This is an exact reprint of the earliest English text printed in Holland by the firm of Johann Ensched� En Zonen of Haarlem which was founded in 1703. It was entirely set by hand from type cast by the Dutch printing firm from original Didot matrices. Clara Tice was famous for her bohemian dress and lifestyle her dadaist affiliation and her nudes. In 1915 Tice "became an overnight sensation" when one of her early exhibitions at Polly�s Restaurant in Greenwich Village drew the venom of anti-vice crusader Anthony Comstock. Tice was later to remark that Comstock "was some press agent". Frank Crowninshield editor of Vanity Fair magazine where Tice was later employed for a brief period as a staff artist published photographs of Tice�s nudes and announced a mock trial to be held in her defence to which the public was invited to act as the plaintiff�s attorney witness jury and judge. "She will be tried�and therefore acquitted of the charges of having committed unspeakable black atrocities on white paper abusing slender bodies of girls cats peacocks and butterflies."

‎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
