[MORELLY (Etienne-Gabriel)]
Code de la Nature ou le Véritable esprit de ses loix, de tout temps négligé ou méconnu.
In-12, plein cartonnage ivoire à la Bradel, dos lisse orné de filet au noir en place des nerfs (reliure Laurenchet), 236, (4) p. de tables. Edition originale de cet ouvrage longtemps attribué à Diderot dans la deuxième moitié du XVIIIe siècle, jusqu'à être intégré aux éditions de ses oeuvres complètes. "Un des livres les plus importants du XVIIIe siècle. Reconnu comme tel par les historiens des doctrines politiques (...), il a été proclamé par le marquis d'Argenson comme "le livre des livres", Babeuf s'en réclama au cours de son procès, Fourier s'en inspira de façon évidente, Tocqueville, dans 'l'Ancien Régime', y retrouva 'plusieurs des théories politiques qui ont le plus effrayé la France…'" (Chinard, 'Code de la Nature', p. 7). "'Le code de la nature' est aussi le premier programme socialiste de l'histoire de France: l'ouvrage se termine sur un plan de législation idéale destiné à assurer le bonheur du genre humain, sur la base de l'abolition de la propriété privée et de l'avènement d'une société fraternelle" (Stéphanie Roza, 2011). (Chinard, p. 81. Einaudi, 4031. Hartig & Soboul, 'Utopies', p. 55. Higgs, 1594. Kress, 5457. Maffey, 'L'utopia della ragione', p. 230, n°8). Petit trou marginal. Bon exemplaire.

[MORELLY (Etienne-Gabriel)]
Naufrage des isles flottantes, ou Basiliade du célèbre Pilpai. Poëme héroïque. Traduit de l'indien par Mr. M******.
2 volumes in-12 (162 x 93 mm), plein veau marbré de l'époque, dos à 5 nerfs fleuronnés et cloisonnés, pièces de titre et de tomaison de veau, roulette sur les coupes, tranches rouges, (2), xli, (1), 216 p. et (4), 307 p., planche gravée allégorique en frontispice du tome I, vignettes de titre gravées, page de titre imprimée noir et rouge. "Véritable édition originale" selon Valette, probablement imprimée en France. Le portrait gravé en frontispice (qui regarde à gauche) et les vignettes seraient en premier tirage. Selon P. Versins, ce serait la seconde édition. "Sous une forme allégorique, Morelly dépeint une société fondée sur des principes communistes, morcelée en petits groupes économiques indépendants. Morelly nous présente une société sans vices, gouvernée par des lois naturelles et atteignant le bonheur grâce à la destruction des 'isles flottantes' c'est-à-dire des préjugés frivoles" (Hartig & Soboul). Raymond Trousson souligne, avec raison, qu'il agirait, qu'il s'agirait plutôt d'un projet anarchiste: rejet de la propriété individuelle cause de tous les maux, violente attaque contre le commerce capitaliste, mais aussi abolition des institutions politiques et juridiques, autorégulation d'une société sans police, ni armée, ni d'églises, célébration d'un érotisme socialisé et union libre, "toute la vie sociale y est décrite comme une fête".. "Au point de vue socialiste, c'est la plus importante des utopies du XVIIIe siècle" (Lichtenberger. 'Le socialisme au XVIIIe s.', p. 106-113). (Hartig & Soboul, 'Pour une histoire de l'utopie', p. 54. INED, n°3319. Maffey, 'L'Utopia della Ragione', n°7. Valette, 'Utopie', n°230. Versins, 'Sur une seconde édition…', "Ailleurs", n°0, oct. 1963, p. 17-20). Quelques infimes traces de restauration à la reliure. Ex-libris gravés et armoriés. Bel exemplaire, frais, bien relié à l'époque.

First edition this caustic and often satirical memoir of Harada’s 1880-1940 extended stay in New York City in the Progressive Era in which he throws off waspish comments about Coney Island as a garish money trap filled with gaudy boorish amusements such as the rolling ball game inside the Japanese Tea Garden concession although mildly impressed with the electric lighting; rails against the traffic the smells capitalism itself and notably derides American women. Karen Kelsky states that “Harada’s memoirs treat women as the objects of a kind of sexual rage.†She also incorporates a translated passage from Harad who writes “because their society has indiscriminately raised them up too high all American women are arrogant and full of themselves. . . The greatest faults of New York’s women are their rudeness fugyogi and their bad manners busaho. A woman came to New York who said she had previously acted as tutor to the British Royal family but I was so disgusted with her display of these faults that walking down the street with her I lost my patience again and again and wanted to grab her and give her a piece of my mind.†He also slights suffragettes women interested in fashion including cartoon on p. 219 in English with comment that “Women are awful slaves of fashion! they merrily follow the style whether its comfortable becoming or adapted to our climate and customs.†He also includes comments on fallen women crime rates augmented with a series of cartoons of burglars breaking into apartments and subsequently fencing the stolen goods. Nonetheless as evidenced by the many photos and illustrations included he also filled his time with sightseeing to Central Park Federal Hall Grand Central Station Riverside Park Grant’s Tomb the Flatiron Building Statue of Liberty views of the teaming streets filled with automobiles trolleys and ferries in the Hudson. One particular photo also depicts the tenements in the Lower East Side.

Hocsieu with its suburbs / Hocsieu met de voor Stadt. [London, 1671].
Copper engraving. 285:720 mm. Matted. Top left notes to the letters (A-D) in English and Dutch. - After the Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie was driven out of Taiwan in 1662, it tried to gain access to the porcelain and silk trade at the port of Fuzhou, then also known as Hocksiew, though the Company's attempts to trade there were hampered by a string of bureaucratic restrictions. As early as 1655 a Dutch delegation had visited the Imperial court in Beijing, but had had little opportunity to discuss trading conditions. A visit of this kind was regarded solely as a token of the respect to which the emperor was entitled. In 1666 a second delegation was sent to Beijing, led by the ambassador Pieter van Hoorn. But aside from some dazzling descriptions of China, this journey yielded nothing. Although the trading post at Fuzhou barely made a profit, the VOC kept it on until 1681.
