SAINT-PIERRE, Jacques Henri Bernardin de (1737-1814). WILLIAMS, Helen Maria (1762-1827). DUTAILLY (fl 1810-1812), illustrator
Paul and Virginia.
The scarce first edition of Helen Maria Williams' translation of Saint-Pierre's best-selling Paul et Virginie. This English translation was also to prove enormously popular with many printings in England but this first appearance thought to have been printed in Paris at the English press of Williams' lover John Hurford Stone is scarce. Additionally this copy includes the suite of six engraved plates found only in a few copies.<br /> In 1792 two years after her first visit to Paris Helen Maria Williams returned to live there permanently. Her salon on the rue Helvétius became a meeting place not only for her Girondist circle but also for a large number of British American and Irish radicals writers and public figures including Mary Wollstonecraft Thomas Paine Joel Barlow and Charles James Fox. It was at this time that she became involved with John Hurford Stone 1763-1818 a radical English coal dealer who was working as a printer in Paris. Their involvement caused huge scandal in England as Stone was married. He divorced his wife in 1794 and it may be that he was married to Williams in the same year. On October 11th 1793 during tea with Bernardin de Saint-Pierre Williams had learnt that all British citizens in France were to be arrested following the French defeat at Toulon. The next day she and her family were taken to the Luxembourg prison where they stayed until 26th October when they were moved to the English Conceptionist Convent otherwise known as the Couvent des Anglaises. It was here that Williams began this translation. She was released in April of the following year on the condition that she left Paris: she and Stone went together to Switzerland until they were able to return to Paris in 1795 when Stone printed the completed work.<br /> Of the copies listed in ESTC only three copies Virginia Morgan and Penn have the plates although the BN copy also has the plates. Of the Morgan copy John Bidwell writes in their catalogue: 'Given the French origins of the paper type plates and binding and the quality of the typesetting this edition was printed in Paris almost certainly at the English press of the expatriate radical John Hurford Stone who was living with Helen Maria Williams at the time. Cf. Madeleine B. Stern "The English Press in Paris and its successors" PBSA 74 1980: 307-89'. Adding another level to the interchange of nationalities in this edition although French the type was of English origin being cast from Baskerville's punches by the Dépôt des caractères de Baskerville in Paris established by Beaumarchais in 1791 and closed c.1795–6. Beaumarchais a great admirer of Baskerville purchased the bulk of the Birmingham printer's punches from his widow after his death John Dreyfus 'The Baskerville punches 1750–1950' The Library 5th series 5 1951 26–48.<br /> 'The following translation of Paul and Virginia was written at Paris amidst the horrors of Robespierre's tyranny. During that gloomy epocha it was difficult to find occupations which might cheat the days of calamity of their weary length . In this situation I gave myself the task of employing a few hours every day in translating the charming little novel . and I found the most soothing relief in wandering from my own gloomy reflections to those enchanting scenes of the Mauritius which he has so admirably described . the public will perhaps receive with indulgence a work written under such peculiar circumstances; not composed in the calm of literary leisure or in pursuit of literary fame; but amidst the turbulence of the most cruel sensations and in order to escape from overwhelming misery' Preface signed Helen Maria Williams Paris June 1795. <br /><br /><i>8vo pp. ii viii 2 9-274 with six stipple engraved plates by Lingée Lefebvre and Clément two after designs by Dutailly tissue guards to all but one of the plates some scattered foxing the text printed on mixed stock much of which is slightly blue-tinted and watermarked 'P Lentaigne' occasional light spotting small marginal hole on D1 one gathering sprung in contemporary calf worn at extremities head and foot of spine chipped roll tool border to covers within double fillet gilt corner fleurons and circles gilt flat spine gilt in compartments blue morocco label lettered in gilt both covers badly scratched with bright marbled endpapers and gilt edges.</i><br /><br />ESTC t131741 listing BL Bodleian Wisbech; Cornell Harvard Morgan Penn Princeton Smith College Toronto UCLA Chicago Illinois Virginia and Yale.<br /><br />Cohen-de Ricci 932 calling for only 5 plates; no details given in Garside Raven & Schöwerling see note on HMW's translation in 1788:71.

Maroquin bleu à long grain plats à encadrements ornés de larges roulettes et filets à froid et dorés dos richement orné roulette intérieure tranches dorées reliure signée de Simier R. du Roi. . La plus luxueuse édition illustrée de Paul et Virgnie en partie originale et qui fixe le texte définitif. Elle est illustrée d'un portrait de l'auteur et de 6 planches hors texte gravées sur cuivre par Bourgeois de la Richardière Bovinet Mecou Prot Ribault Roger et Tillement. . Les éditions de Paul et Virginie sont nombreuses : c'est le best-seller de l'époque dès le XVIIIe siècle. Si l'édition la plus célèbre est évidemment la fameuse édition Curmer de 1838 richement illustrée et destinée à un large public la plus luxueuse et la plus belle des éditions est éditée trente ans auparavant par l'imprimerie de Firmin Didot en 1806 sur un beau papier d'Essone. Une édition à l'opposé de la Curmer : peu d'illustrations un tirage très limité un grand format et un prix élevé. Les exemplaires en sont le plus souvent luxueusement reliés par les meilleurs ateliers de l'époque. Cette édition est supervisés par l'auteur y adjoignant un préambule inédit où il revient sur la création des gravures oeuvre de Lafitte « Enfance de Paul et Virginie » Girodet « Le Passage du torrent » Baron Gérard « Arrivée de M. de la Bourdonnais » Moreau le jeune « Les Adieux de Paul et Virginie » Isabey « Les tombeaux » et Prudhon pour la plus célèbre d'entre elles : « Le Naufrage de Virginie ». « Comment M. Prud'hon a-t-il pu renfermer de si grands objets dans un si petit espace où a-t-il trouvé les modèles de ces mobiles et fugitifs effets que l'art ne peut poser et dont la nature seule ne nous présente que de rapides images . Si M. Prud'hon réussit par la pureté de ses crayons et l'élégance de ses formes à rendre des divinités il intéresse encore davantage selon moi en représentant des mortelles . Il est selon moi le La Fontaine des dessinateurs. » C'est la dernière édition parue du vivant de l'auteur et revue par ses soins. Cachet armorié au faux-titre non identifié ; ex-libris Joël Dupont ancien conservateur du Musée Barbey d'Aurevilly. Bel exemplaire très frais. Cohen 993 ; P.

Paul et Virginie or Paul and Virginia is a novel by Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre first published in 1788. The novel's title characters are friends since birth who fall in love. The story is set on the island of Mauritius under French rule then named Île de France. Written on the eve of the French Revolution the novel is recognized as Bernardin's finest work. It records the fate of a child of nature corrupted by the artificial sentimentality of the French upper classes in the late eighteenth century. Bernardin de Saint-Pierre lived on the island for a time and based part of the novel on a shipwreck he witnessed there.The French volume included here is the first separate edition of this famous novel published the year before in the fourth volume of Saint-Pierre's Etudes de Nature.<br /> <br> <br /> <br> <br /> The English translation by Jane Dalton changed the name of Virginia to Mary.
