Collingridge Vanessa
Boudica
London: Ebury Press 2005 black cloth illus dj unread copy 390pp b/w maps & illus. 'I am fighting as an ordinary person for my lost freedom my bruised body and outraged daughters.' - Tacitus account of the Boudican revolt. The Queen of Iceni has been immortalised as the woman who dared take on the Romans to avenge her daughters her tribe and her enslaved country. In the year AD 60 the widowed Boudica raised an army which posed the most serious threat to Roman expansion so far. Avenging the rape of her daughters Boudica and her army razed three key Roman towns including London and committing acts of great brutality in a frenzy of scorched earth warfare. The legend of Boudica grew out of the clashes between the old world of myth and the new world of Imperial strategy between the male-dominated Roman society and the matriarchy of Iron Age Briton. Her known life is a rich tapestry of wife widow mother queen and Celtic quasi-Goddess. But Boudica's true history is dark and shocking and new archaeological evidence is being discovered every day which fills the gaps in her life-story and brings new depth and terrifying detail to the worn-out myths. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hard Back. Fine/Fine. Royal 8vo - 32x160x242mm. Ebury Press hardcover

COLLINS (Anthony), CROUSAZ (Jean-Pierre de)
Discours sur la liberté de penser, par Mr. A. Collins. Traduit de l'Anglois & augmenté d'une Lettre d'un médecin Arabe ; avec l'Examen de ces deux Ouvrages par Mr de Crouzas. Nouvelle Edition corrigée.
2 volumes in-12 (158 x 98 mm), plein maroquin rouge de l'époque, dos lisses ornés de compartiments cloisonnés et fleuronnés, filets et palettes dorés, triples filets en encadrement sur les plats, filet sur les coupes, dentelle intérieure, pièces de titre et de tomaison de maroquin rouge et vert bronze, tranches dorées, xii, 168 [i.e. 268] p. et viii, 211 p. Première édition collective de 'Discourse on Free Thinking' d'Antony Collins dans la traduction de Henri Scheurleer, revue par Jean Rousset de Missy, accompagné de son "Examen" par Jean-Pierre de Crousaz (1715), analyse critique et commentaires, donnés séparément et qui occupe l'intégralité du tome II. La 'Lettre d'un médecin arabe', également due à A. Collins, dispose d'une page de titre propre (I, p. 241-168 [i.e 268]). L'adresse de Londres est fictive, l'ouvrage a sans doute été imprimé aux Pays-Bas, vraisemblablement par Marc Michel Rey à Amsterdam. Élève, correspondant et ami de Locke, Anthony Collins est l'une des figures centrales de la Libre-pensée britannique. Dans ce célèbre 'Discours', il approfondit la thèse de Locke sur l'homme produit du milieu et se livre à une apologie de la liberté de penser. La brève et fulgurante 'Lettre d'un médecin arabe' défend et approfondit son système: la doctrine qui attire la persécution n'est pas le mahométanisme, mais tout fanatisme. La postérité de Collins sera considérable parmi les Encyclopédistes français. "L'ouvrage parut dès l'origine comme le manifeste redoutable de tout un parti. La libre-pensée agressive, avec lui, était née" (G. Ascoli, 'La Grande-Bretagne devant l'opinion française', II, p. 86). Le livre fut mis à l'index dès 1715 et attira à son auteur de nombreuses attaques qui l'obligèrent à se réfugier en Hollande. (France littéraire, II, 253. Peignot, 'Livres interdits', II, 214). Très bel exemplaire, imprimé sur vergé de Hollande, parfaitement relié à l'époque en 2 volumes de maroquin rouge, condition rare pour ce type d'ouvrage.

COLLINS (Anthony), HOLBACH (Paul Thiry, baron d') traducteur et éditeur
Essai sur la nature et la destination de l'Ame Humaine (...). Traduit de l'Anglois, sur la dernière Edition revue & corrigée par l'auteur.
In-12, broché, couverture papier bleu d'origine, (8), 295 p., exemplaire non rogné, non coupé, tel que paru. Première édition française probablement sortie des presses de M.-M. Rey, dans une édition et une traduction attribuées à d’Holbach. L’ouvrage contient le recueil des pièces composées par Anthony Collins, libre-penseur, élève et ami de Locke, dans la polémique qui s’était engagée entre eux-mêmes, Samuel Clarke et Henry Dodwell, sur l'immatérialité et l'immortalité de l'âme. Selon Bréhier (II, 293) : "Collins montre l’union du matérialisme à la doctrine sensualiste de la connaissance". De très larges extraits de cet ouvrage ont été cités par Naigeon dans "l’Encyclopédie Méthodique". L’ouvrage a été interdit et condamné au feu. (Colon, 'Siècle des Lumières', 69:676. 'Holbach et ses amis', 1553. Peignot, 'Livres condamnés', II, p.214. Vercruysse, p. 32). Exceptionnel exemplaire, tel que paru, non rogné, non coupé.
