Diderot Denis and Jean Baptiste le Rond d'Alembert. Robert Benard engraver
Statues Equestres. Sculpture Fonte des Statues Equestres Contenant Six Planches equivalentes a douze a cause de quatre doubles & d'une triple Casting of equestrian sculptures
Paris 1771. First Edition. Buckram cloth folio folder. . Near Fine. Folio 38.5 by 25 cm with two double plates 50 cm wide and the triple plate 68 cm wide. The six plates show the steps in the casting of massive equestrian statues one of the staples of public monuments before the twentieth century. As the rule with the plates in the Diderot and d'Alembert Encylcopedie though the plates are handsome works of art transcending their pedagogic purpose and the images here have an element of the curious and novel that separates them from more traditional equestrian artwork. The plates and their two page textual description that precedes them were carefully removed from the larger volume and remain attached to each other like a thinner brochure. Other than occasional light and insignificant soiling and minor age toning the plates are clean and fresh. The folder made to house them is of a modern buckram cloth decidedly utilitarian in appearance but not unattractive with their multi-color ribbon ties. <br/><br/> hardcover

GRIMM Friedrich Melchior Baron Von 1723 1807 & Denis DIDEROT 1713 1784
Correspondance Litt�raire Philosophique Et Critique De Grimm Et De Diderot Depuis 1753 Jusqu�En 1790. Nouvelle �dition revue et mise dans un meilleur ordre avec des notes et des �claircissements� par J.Taschereau
Paris: Furne Et Ladrange 1829. 1829. 15 Volumes. 8vo. with half-titles. original bds. some light to moderate foxing throughout Vol. XIII headpiece worn & with short splits in upper joints dampstaining to Vol. IX spine. Second and Best Edition greatly enlarged of the Correspondance Litt�raire edited by Jules Taschereau. WITH: GRIMM Fr�d�ric Melchior Correspondance In�dite Et Recueil De Lettres Po�sies Morceaux Et Fragments Retranch�s Par La Censure Imp�riale En 1812 Et 1813. 16 Volumes in total. First Edition of the Correspondance In�dite edited by Ch�ron and Thory. The German Baron Grimm was introduced to Parisian literary society through his friendship with Jean Jacques Rousseau and this led to a close association with the Encyclop�distes in particular with Denis Diderot. In 1753 he began a literary correspondence with various German sovereigns which he managed to carry on during temporary absences from France with the help of Diderot and Mme d��pinay. The correspondence consisted of two letters a month until 1773 and Grimm eventually counted among his subscribers Catherine II of Russia Stanislas Poniatowski King of Poland and many princes of the smaller German states. His correspondence which embraces the entire period from 1753 to 1790 was strictly confidential and was not divulged during his lifetime. It is one of the most celebrated of the eighteenth century. "At first Grimm contented himself with enumerating the chief current views in literature and art and indicating very slightly the contents of the principal new books but gradually his criticism became more extended and trenchant and he touched on nearly every subject � political literary artistic social and religious � which interested the Parisian society of the time. His notices of contemporaries are somewhat severe and he exhibits the foibles and selfishness of the society in which he moved; but he was unbiased in his literary judgments and time has only served to confirm his criticisms. In style and manner of expression he is thoroughly French. He is generally somewhat cold in his appreciation but his literary taste is delicate and subtle; and it was the opinion of Sainte-Beuve that the quality of his thought in his best moments will compare not unfavourably even with that of Voltaire. His religious and philosophical opinions were entirely negative." Encyc. Britann 11th Edn. Also noteworthy here are Diderot�s contributions in particular his accounts of the annual exhibitions of paintings in Paris: "These Salons are among the most readable of all pieces of art criticism. They have a freshness a reality a life which take their readers into a different world from the dry and conceited pedantries of the ordinary virtuoso. As has been said by Sainte-Beuve they initiated the French into a new sentiment and introduced people to the mystery and purport of colour by ideas." Encyc. Britann. 11th Edn. Many of Diderot�s writings were not published in his lifetime circulating only in manuscript and eventually appearing here with his friend Grimm�s correspondence. Brunet II 1740-41. Cioranescu 32482-83. Qu�rard III 1136-38. Vicaire III 1136-38. 1st Edition. Paris: Furne Et Ladrange, 1829. unknown

DIDEROT Denis 1713 1784
Le Fils Naturel Ou Les Preuves De La Vertu Com�die En Cinq Actes Et En Prose
Amsterdam i.e. Paris: Prault fils a�n� 1757. 1757. 8vo. pp. ix 10-299. contemporary mottled calf gilt back binding damage to corners & spine ends. First Edition of the first of Diderot�s two plays. "The publication of the Fils Naturel occasioned an uproar�It was sufficently novel � in techniques of staging and acting as well as new emphases in character analysis and intellectural content � to make it controversial�The plays of Diderot were in sober fact revolutionary not merely in an aesthetic sense but also in a political one. The motivations the values the morality the self-evident truths set forth in the Fils Naturel and the P�re de Famille were those of a new social class just beginning to feel its own power and to respect its own intutions� it is impossible to say anything more cogent about Diderot�s plays than to repeat what Alexis de Tocqueville wrote in Democracy in America. �If you would judge beforehand� he remarked �of the literature of a people which is lapsing into democracy study its dramatic productions�The tastes and propensities natural to democratic nations in respect to literature will therefore first be discernible in drama and it may be foreseen that they will break out there with vehemence.� Arthur M. Wilson Diderot pp. 261-62 Diderot sought to reform the theatre in three principal ways by giving it greater realism through an emphasis on stage settings the use of explicit stage directions and increased use of pantomime and gesture by creating what he called domestic and bourgeois tragedy and by making theatre a vehicle for inspiring virtuous conduct. Many of these theoretical aspects were dealt with in the accompanying Discours sur la Po�sie Dramatique. The play was published anonymously although everyone knew Diderot was the author mainly because of some remarks concerning heaven and the ways of its providence that prevented the work from being published under public licence. Adams FN1. Tchemerzine IV p. 447. Cioranescu 24091 incorrectly referring to 12mo. format. 1st Edition. Amsterdam [i.e. Paris: Prault fils a�n�], 1757. unknown

DIDEROT Denis 1713 1784
Le P�re De Famille Com�die En Cinq Actes Et En Prose Avec Un Discours Sur La Po�sie Dramatique
Amsterdam i.e. Paris: Michel Lambert 1758. 1758. 2 Parts in 1. 8vo. pp. xxix 220; xii 195. contemporary mottled calf gilt back front joint cracked & tender chipping to spine ends. First Edition of the second of Diderot�s two dramatic works. "As one biographer of Diderot has remarked it is only in the eighteenth century that a situation like this would be likely to occur: a married man�s unmarried mistress and his friend the bachelor of another man�s wife are invoked as the twin inspirations of a play the purpose of which is to glorify the family." see Arthur M. Wilson Diderot p. 328 As with his first play Le Fils Naturel Le P�re de Famille was printed with an additional text discussing theoretical aspects of the theatre and theatrical production here the Discourse on Dramatic Poetry with separate title and pagination. "In his several chapters Diderot dealt with such subjects as plot dialogue incident the different kinds of plays characterization division of a play into acts and scenes stage decorations costumes pantomime and gestures and most important of all the social function of the theatre�The discourse embraced some of the greatest and most abiding themes - of the nature of genius and the criteria of taste; of the function of the artist; and most of all of the good the beautiful and the true. Nor was this all.Diderot also hoped that "all of the imitative arts would adopt a common purpose and one day co-operate with the laws in making us love virtue and hate vice."" Ibid. p. 331 Adams P1.
