Sixth edition of a celebrated work that includes two fold out maps; one a map of Europe Africa and Asia the other entitled A View of the Astrological Heaven of the Ancients to Explain the Mysteries of Persian Jewish and Christian ReligionsThe Ruins by M. Volney gives an account of Ancient cultures the pagan system of beliefs religious contradictions mans place in the universe the source of evils in society mystical worship fire worship and much more. Constantin Franois de Chassebuf comte de Volney February 3 1757 - April 25 1820 was a French philosopher historian orientalist and politician. He was at first surnamed Boisgirais after his father's estate but afterwards assumed the name of Volney which he had created as a contraction of Voltaire and Ferney. He was born at Craon Mayenne of a gentry family. Initially interested in Law and Medicine he went on to study Classical languages and his Mmoire sur la Chronologie dHrodote on Herodotus rose to the attention of the Acadmie des Inscriptions and of the group around Claude Adrien Helvtius. Soon after Volnay befriended Pierre Jean George Cabanis the Marquis de Condorcet the Baron d'Holbach and Benjamin Franklin. He spent some four years in Ottoman Egypt and Syria and published his Voyage en Egypte et en Syrie in 1787 and Considrations sur la guerre des Turcs et de la Russie in 1788. He was a member both of the Estates-General and of the National Constituent Assembly after the outbreak of the French Revolution. In 1791 appeared Les Ruines ou mditations sur les rvolutions des empires an essay on the philosophy of history containing a vision which predicts the final union of all religions by the recognition of the common truth underlying them all. Volney tried to put his politico-economic theories into practice in Corsica where in 1792 he bought an estate and made an attempt to cultivate colonial produce. Chassebuf de Volney was thrown into prison during the Jacobin Club triumph but escaped the guillotine; he was some time professor of history at the newly founded cole Normale. He died in Paris and was buried at the Pre Lachaise. Condition: The binding is tight and the rear board is firmly attached though the front board is attached loosely by one cord only. There is some wear to the extremities particularly to the spine which is missing in places. Internally the book is clean and bright throughout apart from some age toning to the pages.

Dos frottés et insolés. Pièces de tomaison très frottées. Un trou en queue du tome I. Un accroc sur le dos du second volume. Trace de mouillure jaune sur les derniers feuillets du tome I. Considéré comme le meilleur exposé possible de l'Egypte de la Syrie Ottomane à la fin du XVIIIe siècle Le voyage de Volney lequel dura quatre années d'observation doit tout à la qualité de son auteur à la fois philosophe et orientaliste ; la narration est différente des livres de voyages classiques les considérations remarques et réflexions politiques y sont prédominantes et la vision politique est déterminante même lorsque l'auteur décrit les moeurs des habitants des anecdotes la situation géographique et commerciale. Par ailleurs toutes les descriptions de Volney servirent de base pour l'expédition d'Egypte et de nombreux scientifiques et Bonaparte lui-même l'emmenèrent avec eux. � Chez Volland|& Desenne unknown
