Nouvelle Edition Augmentee. Lausanne: Chez Francois Grasset & Comp. 1769. xiv 160 i.e. 204 pp. Lacking dedication leaf and copperplate portrait frontispiece. Quarto 7" x 4-3/4". Recent period-style three-quarter calf over marbled boards raised bands and red and black lettering pieces to spine marbled endpapers untrimmed edges. Light rubbing to extremities light fading to spine. Moderate toning light foxing in a few places. $1250. Third French-language edition. An important document of the Enlightenment the Nakaz or Instruction composed by Catherine the Great served to guide the assembly summoned in 1766 to draft a new code of laws for the Russian Empire. Drawn primarily from Montesquieu as well as Rousseau Beccaria and other Enlightenment thinkers the Nakaz condemned torture and capital punishment and endorsed such principles as the equality of all before the law. Published in the principal European tongues between 1767 and 1769 it proved to be a statement to the world as much as a practical legal text. Three editions in French were published in 1769 first in Moscow then in Yverdon with a false St. Petersburg imprint and Lausanne. In 1769 Duc de Choiseul added the "libertine" Nakaz to the list of books prohibited in France. Balthasar the translator of our edition was a Swiss historian and member of the Enlightenment's international "Republic of Letters." His introduction pp. iii-iv is a notable document of the early reception of the Nakaz in Western Europe. Graesse Tresor de Livres Rares et Precieux II:80. unknown‎

This important text also known as the Nakaz or Instruction is a statement of legal principles written by Catherine II from 1764 and 1766. Permeated with the ideas of the French Enlightenment and copied mostly from the work of Voltaire Montesquieu and Beccaria it was compiled as a guide for the All-Russia Legislative Commission convened by the Empress in 1767 to create a new code to replace the 1649 Muscovite Code. Revised in consultation with Beccaria Frederick the Great and Voltaire the Instruction proclaimed the equality of all men before the law and disapproved of death penalty and torture. Unfortunately her proposed code was never completed. Catherine's manuscript was written in French and she later produced a Russian translation. Editions in German and Russian were published in Moscow in 1767. The book was initially banned in France because it was too liberal which is why the first French-language edition was produced in Switzerland with a false imprint. French and Latin editions were eventually published in 1770.

Bookplate of Martin E. Winkler to front pastedown. Boards very lightly rubbed; tiny ink shelfmark to first leaf; a few small smudges but overall a very good copy. First collected edition and the first edition printed in Germany of these three anti-Masonic plays by Catherine the Great which were first staged in Russia in 1786 at the Hermitage Theater in St. Petersburg. At the same time they were published in German translation by Christian Gottlieb Arndt 1743-1829 by at least two Russian publishers evidently to great acclaim. Catherine's plays were in particular a reaction to the arrival of Alessandro Cagliostro 1743-1795 in St. Petersburg where he sought to spread word of his system of "Egyptian Freemasonry" but was exposed and ridiculed. The publisher the German writer critic and bookseller Christoph Friedrich Nicolai 1733-1811 was one of the key representatives of the Berlin Enlightenment. His lengthy preface praises Catherine's wisdom and reaffirms the need for ridiculing occultism and superstition of all forms in this "century of philosophy." Curiously he also mentions that the Russian editions of Catherine's plays earned their publishers over twenty thousand rubles. Cat. Russica C344.
