(HOLBACH, P.H.D.TH. D'.)
Système de la nature, Ou des loix du monde physique & du monde moral. Par M. Mirabaud. Sécretaire perpétuel, & l'un des quarante de l'Académie Françoise. Nouvelle Édition. Premiere Partie [- Seconde Partie].
A Londres, 1781. 2 volumes. (12), 316, pp.; (4), 385, (3) pp. 8vo. Contemporary marbled calf, spines gilt with raised bands, gilt triple fillet on sides, all edges gilt. Vercruysse 1781-A1. This is Holbach's most famous work (and in which he was very likely assisted by Diderot) and expounds a complete theorie of materialism.Holbach contributed some four hundred articles to the Encyclopédie of his lifelong friend and colleague Denis Diderot. Diderot, d'Alembert, Helvetius, Voltaire and others of the philosophes met frequently for dinner and philosophical discussion at the Baron's house, which became known as 'the café of Europe' (among foreign visitors were Wilkes, Hume and Sterne). In the Système Holbach rejected the Cartesian mind-body dualism and attempted to explain all phenomena, physical and mental, in terms of matter in motion. Holbach rejected religion because he saw it as a wholly harmful influence, and he tried to supply a desirable alternative. In fact he outlined a whole ethical and political philosophy, which he expanded in his later works.Holbach may not have been a great original thinker (his important ideas can already be found in predecessors such as Hobbes, Locke and La Mettrie), but by combining various elements in their thought and pressing it to the logical conclusion he reached the most extreme position in eighteenth-century free-thought. In fact, the present book caused a rift in the ranks of the philosophes, dividing them between deists and atheists, and even provoked Voltaire to reply in defense of religion.The pages 339-385 contain l'Abrégé du code de la nature and the Réquisitoire du 18 août 1770. - A very good copy.

HOLBACH Paul Henri Thiry baron d'; Abraham Gaultier.
Pieces Philosophiques.
Amsterdam: no publisher stated 1771. Contemporary sheep 3 works in 1 volume as issued duodecimo 156 x 95 mm. Contemporary mottled sheep tan calf label. Third part bound with divisional half-title but without divisional title page; other half-titles also present where issued. Library plate to pastedown. Light scuffing to spine and extremities yet still an excellent copy joints and hinges intact contents clean and bright. First collected edition of these three materialist texts. The first Parité de la Vie & de la Mort by Abraham Gaultier was first published in 1714 this being the second edition. Gaultier like Bernard Mandeville and La Mettrie was a physician turned philosopher; in the present treatise he offers an entirely materialist vision of the body and soul so intertwined that they cannot be distinguished. The second and third texts are both generally attributed to Baron d'Holbach and are both here published for the first time. Offering materialist views of the souls and the universe the author argues for the eternity of matter the absence of innate ideas and no objective good or evil. The radical nature of these texts led to d'Holbach and his publisher concealing their identities. [Amsterdam?: no publisher stated], unknown

HOLBACH PAUL HENRY THIRY BARON D'. THE SYSTEM OF NATURE CONTINUED... THE SOCIAL SYSTEM
Syst�me social ou principes naturels de la morale et de la politique avec un examen de l'influence du gouvernement sur les moeurs. Par l'Auteur du Syst�me de la Nature Mirabaud. 3 Tomes.
London recte: Amsterdam M.M. Rey 1773. 8vo. Bound in one beautiful contemporary full mottled calf binding with five raised bands to richly gilt spine; triple gilt line-borders to boards and inner gilt dentelles. Edges of boards with single gilt line. All edges gilt. Corners abit bumped and a bit of overall wear. Inner hinges a bit weak. Internally very fine and clean. All in all a very fine copy indeed. 4 210; 176; 167 pp. With all three half-titles all three title-pages and all three indexes as well as the introduction. � The rare first edition first issue though Tchermerzine mentions an unknown 2-volume-edition form the same year - this edition has never been verified of one of d'Holbach's most important works his influential "social" and political continuation of his seminal main work "Systeme de la nature" - the bible of materialism. <br><br>D'Holbach 1723-1789 who was raised by a wealthy uncle whom he inherited together with his title of Baron in 1753 maintained one of the most famous salons in Paris. This salon became the social and intellectual centre for the Encyclop�die which was edited by Diderot and d'Alembert whom he became closely connected with. D'Holbach himself also contributed decisively to the Encyclop�die with at least 400 signed contributions and probably as many unsigned between 1752 and 1765. The "C�terie holbachique" or "the caf� of Europe" as the salon was known attracted the most brilliant scientists philosophers writers and artists of the time e.g. Diderot d'Alembert Helvetius Voltaire Hume Sterne etc etc. and it became one of the most important gathering-places for the exchange of philosophical scientific and political views under the "ancient r�gime". Apart from developing several foundational theories of seminal scientific and philosophical value D'Holbach became known as one of the most skilled propagators and popularizers of scientific and philosophical ideas promoting scientific progress and spreading philosophical ideas in a new and highly effective manner. <br><br>D'Holbach was himself the most audacious philosophe of this circle. During the 1760's he caused numerous anticlerical tracts written in large but not entirely by himself to be clandestinely printed abroad and illegally circulated in France. His philosophical masterpiece the "Syst�me de la nature ou des lois du monde physique et du monde moral" a methodological and intransigent affirmation of materialism and atheism appeared anonymously in 1770" D.S.B. VI:468 as did the social and political follow-up of it the famous "Syst�me social" in 1773. That is to say Mirabeau whom he had used as the author on the "System of Nature" in 1770 is not mentioned in the "Social System" on the title-page of which is merely stated "By the Author of "Syst�me de la Nature". <br><br>As the theories of d'Holbach's two systematic works were at least as anticlerical and unaccepted as those of his smaller tracts and on top of that so well presented and so convincing it would have been dangerous for him to print any of them under his own name and even under the name of the city or printer. Thus "Syst�me de la Nature" appeared pseudonomously under the name of the secretary of the Acad�mie Francaise J.B. Mirabaud who had died 10 years earlier and under a fictive place of printing namely London instead of Amsterdam. "He could not publish safely under his own name but had the ingenious idea of using the names of recently dead French authors. Thus in 1770 his most famous book "The System of Nature" appeared under the name Jean-Baptiste Mirabaud." PMM 215 and so the next "System" also appeared in the same manner three years later.<br><br>In his "Syst�me de la Nature" d'Holbach had presented philosophical materialism in an actual system for the first time and had created a work that dared unite the essence of all the essential material of the English and French Enlightenment and incorporate it into a closed materialistic system; on the basis of a completely materialistic and atheistic foundation he provided the modern world with a moral and ethic philosophy the effects of which were tremendous. It is this materialism and atheism that he continues three years later in his next systematic work "Syst�me social" through which politics morality and sociology are also incorporated into his system and take the place of the Christianity that he had so fiercely attacked earlier on. In this great work he extends his ethical views to the state and continues the description of human interest from "Syst�me de la Nature" by developing a notion of the just state by d'Holbach calle "ethocracy" that is to secure general welfare. "Syst�me social 1773; "Social System" placed morality and politics in a utilitarian framework wherein duty became prudent self-interest." Encyclopaedia Brittanica. "Holbach's foundational view is that the most valuable thing a person seeking self-preservation can do is to unite with another person: "Man is of all beings the most necessary to man" Sys�me social 76; cf. Spinoza's Ethics IVP35C1 C2 and S. Society when it is just unites for the common purpose of preservation and the securing of welfare and society contracts with government for this purpose." SEP.<br><br>As the "Syst�me de la Nature" had been condemned to burning in the year of its publication so the "Syst�me social" was on the list of books to be confiscated already in 1773 and it was placed on the Index of the Church in August 1775. As the "Syst�me de la Nature" the "Syst�me social" is thus also of great scarcity. <br><br>Another edition of the work appeared later the same year in 12mo. Tchermerzine says that "Il ya une �dition que nous ne connaissons pas en 2 vol. in-8. C'est sans doute l'originale." The present edition was reprinted the following year in 1774.<br><br>Tschermerzine VI:246; Graesse III:317; Barbier IV:622 only listing later editions. hardcover

SystÃme de la nature
ìThe Bible of Materialismî HOLBACH Paul Henri Thiry baron dÃ. SystÃme de la nature. Ou Des loix du monde physique & du monde moral. Par M. Mirabaud. Londres i.e. Amsterdam: Marc-Michel Rey 1770. First edition. Two volumes octavo. 12 370; 4 412 pp. Contemporary speckled calf with covers ruled in blind. Elaborately gilt spine with burgundy morocco label gilt board edges marbled endpapers edges stained red. Joints and extremities rubbed. Occasional light foxing and browning primarily to first and last few leaves of each volume. Generally a very good crisp copy. In a quarter morocco clamshell case. Paul Heinrich Dietrich Baron dÃHolbach 1723-1789 first became known as a scientist contributing some four hundred articles to the EncyclopÈdie of his friend and colleague Denis Diderot. Holbach later turned from science to more dangerous topics writing and having published abroad a number of books attacking religion in all aspects which flooded illegally into France. Unable to publish safely under his own name he had the ingenious idea of using the names of recently dead French authors. Thus in 1770 his most famous book ìThe System of Natureî appeared under the name of Jean-Baptiste Mirabaud. ìIn the SystËme Holbach rejected the Cartesian mind-body dualism and attemped to explain all phenomena physical and mental in terms of matter in motion. He derived the moral and intellectual faculties from manÃs sensibility to impressions made by the external world and saw human actions as entirely determined by pleasure and pain. He continued his direct attack on religion by attempting to show that it derived entirely from habit and custom. But the SystËme was not a negative or desctructive book: Holbach rejected religion because he saw it as a wholly harmful influence and he tried to supply a more desirable alternative. In fact he outlined a whole ethical and political philosophy which he expanded in his later worksî Printing and the Mind of Man. Goldsmithsà Library 10607. Kress 6737.

MIRABAUD Jean Baptiste de & HOLBACH Paul Henri Dietrich Baron d' & HELVETIUS
Systeme de la nature Ensemble Le vrai sens du systême de la nature EDITION ORIGINALE
à LondresAmsterdam: S.n. Marc Michel Rey 1774. Fine. S.n. Marc Michel Rey à Londres Amsterdam 1774 2 tomes en 2 Vol. in 8 125x195cm 14 397pp. et 4 500pp. 3 ; 84pp. 3 relié. - 41065 - FRENCH VERSION FOLLOWS Rare et intéressante réunion de ces deux ouvrages. Nouvelle édition du système de la nature après la rare originale de 1770 et édition originale de l'ouvrage d'Helvetius à la même date de 1774 que cette nouvelle édition de Mirabaud ; en réalité trois éditions sont parues à la même date avec une collation différente sans qu'on ait pu déterminer s'il y a une véritable originale. Reliure en pleine basane marbrée d'époque. Dos lisse très orné. Pièce de titre en maroquin rouge et de tomaison en maroquin noir. Tranches rouges. Coiffes de queue arrachées. Une tâche brune sur le plat supérieur du tome I. Restauration à l'aide d'une pièce de cuir au plat supérieur du tome II. Assez bon exemplaire. L'ouvrage d'Helvetius est une exégèse et un examen du Système de la nature l'auteur semble en avoir condensé la matière sous forme de maximes et d'assertions le tout reposant sur un fort credo matérialiste. On sait aujourd'hui que l'ouvrage n'est peut-être pas d'Helvetius bien qu'on y reconnaisse sa philosophie. Quant au Système de la nature de Mirabaud il fut reçut comme une bombe dans le milieu des lettres et finalement assez mal accueilli par les philosophes. Ce ne fut pas les thèses ouvertement matérialistes de d'Holbach qui furent condamnées mais la démonstration d'athéisme et d'anticléricalisme. S.n. [Marc Michel Rey] unknown

Bien que le texte fût présenté comme une traduction de Jean Trichard l'oeuvre est bien du baron d'Holbach. Cette histoire de la superstition est un réquisitoire sans pitié contre les persécutions et les tyrannies politiques et religieuses quelle qu'elles furent qui firent régner la terreur par la peur et le fanatisme tant que par ambition politique.
