‎La politique naturelle ou Discours sur les vrais principes du Gouvernement. Par un ancien Magistrat.‎

‎Londres, 1773 2 tomes en un volume in-8 de VII, (1), 232 pp. - (2) ff., 280 pp., veau havane raciné, dos lisse orné de caissons de fleurons dorés, pièce de titre de maroquin rouge, tranches rouges (reliure de l'époque).‎

‎"Édition originale. En IX Discours - Société ; Gouvernement ; Souveraineté ; Liberté, etc. - le baron d'Holbach brosse un panorama des idées politiques passées au crible des Lumières d'une raison matérialiste. Influence de la Religion sur la Politique ""On demandera peut-être à quels signes l’on peut reconnoître si une superstition est nuisible à la société & doit être contenue. Je réponds qu’elle ne peut être que funeste lorsqu’elle mettra des obstacles à la population, lorsque son culte suspendra trop fréquemment les travaux de la Société, lorsqu’elle fera un mérite de l’inutilité, lorsqu’elle excitera des animosités & des querelles, lorsqu’elle donnera au nom de Dieu le signal de la révolte, […] , lorsque ses ministres voudront se soustraire aux lois et refuseront d’obéir à l’autorité des hommes sous prétexte d’obéir à l’autorité divine"". Des vrais signes du Despotisme ""Les hommes sont des esclaves partout où la volonté de l’homme est supérieure à la Loi. Les hommes sont esclaves partout où l’on a besoin de pouvoir, de crédit, de richesses pour obtenir la justice. Les hommes sont esclaves partout où le puissant, exempt de se conformer à la Loi, peut étouffer les cris de l’innocent qu’il opprime. Les hommes sont esclaves partout où la loi peut être interprétée, alors elle devient toujours partiale pour celui qui a du pouvoir, & destructive pour le malheureux."" ""Ainsi ne nous y trompons pas, la véritable liberté n’est le partage exclusif d’aucun gouvernement. Dans la Démocratie, le Peuple, Souverain en apparence, n’est que trop souvent l’esclave des Démagogues pervers qui le flattent & qui allument ses passions, & devient un tyran.""

‎"HOLBACH, Baron d';"‎

‎Système de la nature ou Des loix du monde Physique & du monde Moral. Par M. Mirabaud, Secrétaire perpétuel, l'un des Quarante de l'Académie Française. Nouvelle édition.‎

‎Londres, 1775 2 volumes in-8 de 400pp., 2 ff. bl. (pagination fautive des pp. 81 à 96) - 448pp., 2 ff. bl., maroquin rouge, triple filet doré d'encadrement sur les plats, fleurons aux angles, dos lisses ornés de caissons de fleurons dorés, pièces de titre et de tomaison de maroquin citron, tranches dorées (reliures de l'époque).‎

‎"Belle édition, sur papier vergé, du brûlot matérialiste qui scandalisa même les Lumières: l'ouvrage, près de cinq ans après sa première parution, donna lieu en cette année 1775 à de nouvelles réfutations de divers auteurs tandis que sa ""suite"" appliquée au domaine politique, Système social ou Principes naturels de la morale, venait le rejoindre à l'index. Paul Thiry, baron d'Holbach (1723-1789) est originaire du Palatinat. Fortuné et parfait gentilhomme parisien, il contribua activement à l'Encyclopédie. Mais c'est sous un nom d'emprunt -celui de Jean-Baptiste Mirabaud, mort dix ans plus tôt et donc peu susceptible d'être inquiété!- et en Hollande qu'il fait imprimer les thèses de sa bible matérialiste. Le remous est considérable et le livre aussitôt condamné au feu. Selon le mot de Robert Mortier (Diderot et son temps, 162), il s'agit de la synthèse la plus considérable du matérialisme, en même temps que le procès de l'absolutisme. Dix éditions se succédèrent rapidement. L'ouvrage choqua même les philosophes amis, y compris Voltaire qui le dénigrera ainsi : C'est l'athéisme mis à la portée des femmes de chambre et des perruquiers. Pourtant, commentant l'usurpation d'identité commise par Holbach, l'ermite de Ferney eut un mot qui laisse deviner qu'il était en fait très conscient de la réelle qualité de l'ouvrage: Hélas! notre bon Mirabaud n'était pas capable d'écrire une page du livre de notre redoutable adversaire! Très bel exemplaire en maroquin du temps. Carter et Muir, Printing and the Mind of Man, n°215."‎

‎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.‎

First edition. Paul-Henri Dietrich Thiery d'Holbach (1723-1789), the formemost exponent of atheistic materialism and the most intransigent polemicist against religion in the Enlightenment. On settling in Paris, Holbach had associated with the younger philosophes who, with Diderot, d'Alembert and Rousseau, were grouping around the Encyclopédie, to which he also became a major contributor. His Salon soon became the main social center, and a sort of intellectual headquarters, for the Encyclopedist movement. Among those attending were Diderot, Grimm, Helvétius, d'Alembert, Rousseau, Boulanger, Condillac, Naigeon, Turgot, and Condorcet. The Baron also counted among his acquaintances many foreigners, notably Hume, Gibbon, Smith, Priestley, Walpole, Garrick, Sterne, Beccaria and Franklin. It is little surprizing that Holbach was also known as le premier maître d'hôtel de la philosophie. Almost everything he wrote -whether because it expounded atheism and materialism, attacked Christianity, or castigated absolute monarchy, the state church, and feudal privilege- was highly subversive under the Ancien régime and could have exposed him to the severest penalties. Consequently, his innumerable manuscripts were usually forwarded through secret channels to Holland for publication, after which the books were smuggled back into France.‎

‎Première édition, bel exemplaire de cette publication anonyme d’Holbach. Fameux manifeste matérialiste qui indigna jusqu'à Frédéric II. Matérialiste athée, l'auteur s'attaque à tous les préjugés, la religion en étant le principal. Le roi Frédéric II réfuta ses thèses dans un Examen de l'Essai sur les préjugés. Le baron d'Holbach prétend que "l'ignorance, les erreurs & les préjugés des hommes sont les sources de leurs maux : la vérité en est le remède". Les notes sont de Naigeon et le texte est bien du baron d'Holbach, comme le montre son bibliographe Vercruysse, et non de Du Marsais comme l'affirme la mention imprimée sur le titre.

‎Paris, Quillau, 1789. 88 livraisons à pagination continue reliées en 1 vol. petit in-4, cartonnage saumon, pièce de titre manuscrite sur le dos (reliure de l'époque).‎

‎Premier trimestre 1789 qui contient l'hommage de Naigeon à d'Holbach mort le 21 janvier 1789 à Paris (numéro 40 du lundi 9 février 1789), trois jours avant la convocation des États généraux : « l'article nécrologique pour le Journal de Paris fut pendant longtemps la seule source d'informations sur le philosophe énigmatique » (Pierre Naville). « A la veille de la Révolution, fidèle à l’amitié qui le lia pendant un quart de siècle à Diderot et à d’Holbach, Naigeon fit paraître dans le Journal de Paris une lettre sur la mort du baron d’Holbach survenue en janvier 1789. L’article, fort élogieux, ne contenait rien de polémique vis-à- vis de la religion chrétienne. Naigeon y soulignait la générosité de cœur et d’esprit de Diderot : (…) Comme Diderot prêtait facilement, et sans s’en apercevoir, son esprit, son imagination et ses connaissances à ceux avec lesquels il s’entretenait, et qu’il supposait à tous les hommes des principes de probité selon lesquels il se conduisait, M. d’Holbach lui disait : « Vous êtes l’homme le plus heureux que je connaisse ; vous n’avez jamais trouvé ni un sot ni un fripon ; et vous n’avez jamais lu un mauvais livre, car à mesure que vous le lisez vous le refaites (…) Naigeon, plus encore qu’à d’Holbach marque son attachement et son admiration à Diderot. Mieux encore, c’est par la bouche du baron que s’expriment la bonté, l’intelligence et la puissance intellectuelle de Diderot. Naigeon souligne ainsi la supériorité du philosophe sur d’Holbach » (Pascale Pellerin, Naigeon une certaine image de Diderot sous la Révolution). Collection du n°2 du vendredi 2 janvier 1789 au numéro 90 du mardi 31 mars 1789 - sans les 4 suppléments aux numéros 17, 21, 40 et 61 (sauts de pagination) - du quotidien fondé en 1777 par Olivier de Corancez, Jean de Romilly, Louis d'Ussieux, Cadet de Vaux dont les principaux rédacteurs furent La Place, Sautreau de Marsy, Suard et Barthélémy Mercier jusqu'en 1789 puis Condorcet et Roederer à partir du second semestre de 1789.

‎Édition originale. Quoique se présentant comme une traduction de Trenchard, la Contagion sacrée est une oeuvre originale du baron d'Holbach.Ce livre est une critique virulente de la religion et de la superstition. D'Holbach soutient que les religions sont des inventions humaines, créées pour contrôler et manipuler les masses. Il décrit la religion comme une "contagion" qui se propage à travers les sociétés, perpétuant l'ignorance et l'oppression. Le livre est un exemple typique de la littérature clandestine de l'époque, souvent publiée anonymement pour éviter la censure et les persécutions. D'Holbach, en tant que figure centrale des Lumières radicales, a contribué à diffuser des idées subversives qui ont influencé la pensée moderne sur la religion et la société.Vercruysse, 1768/A2.

‎Edition originale de ce texte, reprise du traité déiste "Difficultés sur la religion proposées au père Malebranche" attribué à Robert Challe, remanié par Naigeon et dHolbach dans le sens de lathéisme. Le traité avait circulé clandestinement sous forme manuscrite dès la première décennie du XVIIIe siècle.Selon O. Bloch ('Le matérialisme au XVIIIe s'), dHolbach aurait composé le dernier chapitre (p.153-193)."DHolbach et Naigeon sont séduits par lapparente simplicité du questionnement et lefficacité du procédé dexposition. Ils retitrent le texte, et le transforment en un pamphlet athée qui va circuler sous le manteau, alimentant la crise de conscience européenne, anticipatrice de la Révolution française" (éd. coda).Désigné à sa sortie comme "bréviaire du matérialisme", cet ouvrage a toujours été rare si lon en croit la correspondance de Grimm (cité par Belin, 'Commerce du livre', p. 106).

‎Edition originale de première émission, bien complet des feuillets d'errata. D'Holbach publie son livre sous le nom de Jean-Baptiste Mirabaud, secrétaire perpétuel de l'Académie française, décédé en 1760. D’Holbach place l’homme raisonnable au centre de tout et base sa philosophie sur la nature. Son but est de détacher la morale de tout principe religieux pour la déduire des seuls principes naturels. Dans sa synthèse, Système de la nature, il développe une position matérialiste, fataliste et surtout ouvertement athée, contre toute conception religieuse ou déiste. La publication de son Système de la nature eut un énorme retentissement : le gouvernement le défère au Parlement qui condamne le livre, le 18 août 1770, à être brûlé au pied du grand escalier du palais. Et l'ouvrage fut mis à l'Index dès sa sortie, par un décret du Saint-Office du neuf novembre 1770. Bien que notre exemplaire ne soit pas en parfaite condition il est assez amusant de constater que cette "bible" du matérialisme a figurée dans la bibliothèque d'un couvent de l'ordre des Carmes déchaux, avec la mention manuscrite: Ex. prohibitis. Amen!First edition of first issue, complete with errata sheets. D'Holbach publishes his book under the name of Jean-Baptiste Mirabaud, perpetual secretary of the French Academy, who died in 1760. D’Holbach places the reasonable man at the center of everything and bases his philosophy on nature. Its purpose is to detach morality from any religious principle in order to deduce it from natural principles alone. In his synthesis, Système de la nature, he develops a materialist, fatalistic and above all openly atheist position, against any religious or deist conception. The publication of his Système de la nature had a huge impact: the government deferred it to Parliament which condemns the book, August 18, 1770, to be burned. And the work was put on the Index as soon as it was published, by a decree of the Holy Office of November 9, 1770. Although our copy is not in perfect condition it is quite amusing to note that this "bible" of materialism belonged to the library of a convent of the order of Discalced Carmelites, with the handwritten mention: Ex. prohibitis. Amen!! !! Du 8 au 20 juin les horaires de la librairie seront les suivants: lundi au vendredi 11h –12h et 13h – 17h. Samedi: 10h –15h !!‎

The author condemns the Church for its violent persecutions stance against free thinking the Inquisition treatment of Protestants and superstitions. The text was inspired by Thomas Hope’s Considerations upon war upon cruelty in general and religions; Holbach translated the points salient to his arguments into French and did away with the parts not related to religion. He argues that the dogma of Hell turns God into a demon who casts most into an eternal flame.

‎La morale universelle ou les devoirs de l'homme fondés sur sa nature Universal morality or the obligation of man based on his nature‎

‎Amsterdam: Chez Marc-Michel Rey 1776. First edition 3 volumes 8vo pp. 5 vi-xxiv 1 2-286; 5 2-256; 5 2-283; engraved vignette title pages; contemporary full mottled calf gilt-decorated spines. red and black morocco labels; moderate wear especially at the tops of 2 spines and the bottom of another; marbled edges and endpapers; ex-Forbes Library Northampton Mass. with bookplates and perforated stamps in the title pages; minor dampstains on the edges of a few leaves; a good reasonably sound copy. As an early atheist and critic of the Church Baron d'Holbach was an influential figure in the French Enlightenment. Known for his lavish dinner parties he hosted various intellectuals such as Denis Diderot Charles-Georges Le Roy Jean-François Marmontel abbé Guillame-Thomas-François Raynal and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Holbach's work here heavily influenced by Locke and Hobbes discusses a universal system of ethics and political philosophy based upon the nature of man. Holbach posited that people are concerned with their self-preservation and their own happiness but are ultimately social creatures. Human happiness and self-preservation can be best achieved through altruistic co-operation with others and according to Holbach this co-operation is what motivates the acquiring of virtues. When individuals make this social contract with one another they expect their governing body to function in a utilitarian manner to uphold their basic rights such as a right to property freedom of speech and freedom of religion. When these rights were violated Holbach argues the people have a right to revolution. Volume I discusses a theory of morality volume II the practice of morality and volume III the duties of one's private life. Holbach often published anonymously as his ideas were considered dangerous and contemptible in a time when a humanist theory of morality was seen as anathema in a pre-dominantly Christian western world "Paul-Henry Thiry Holbach" in Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

First Edition. Holbach was the foremost exponent of atheistic materialism in the Enlightenment. In the Politique Naturelle La Morale Universelle and the Système Sociale Holbach attempted to construct a system of ethical and political values based on man’s physical nature and primary needs as the only desirable alternative to the illusory and harmful system predicated on supernatural theology. Happiness is the supreme natural goal of human existence but man is a social animal and Holbach’s ethics was based on social utility. "Ethics…is the science of human cooperation to promote the well-being of the individual through that of society and it is based on the positive knowledge of men’s reciprocal social needs…Atheism is…the prerequisite of all valid ethical teaching. In place of the condemnation of sin Holbach’s exposition of secular and utilitarian ethics is typically accompanied by vibrant appeals to humanitarianism and moving exhortations to civic virtue – all in the name of ‘nature’ and ‘happiness’.

Typographical ornament on title page. Typographical headpieces on pp. i and 1. Some light dampstains. In good to very good condition. 2 ll. xii 302 pp. This violently anti-religious atheistic work was first published in London i.e. Amsterdam in 1772. ESTC cites three other editions of the same year another of 1773 followed by this one in 1774. There is at least one other 1774 edition with a London imprint not mentioned by ESTC with 240 1 pp. The book was ordered burnt in 1774 and put on the Index in 1775. There are also editions of 1782 1786 and 1789 all with London imprints regardless of where they were actually printed as well as a Rome 1792 imprint and a number of translations into other languages. The work sometimes has been wrongly attributed to Jean Meslier.The Baron d'Holbach 1723-1789 born Paul Heinrich Dietrich was a native of Edesheim in the Rhenish Palatinate. He attended Leiden University from 1744 to 1748 where he became friends with John Wilkes. From the 1750s through the 1770s he held a lavish salon in Paris that was frequented by Diderot Condillac Condorcet La Condamine Raynal Helvétius Rousseau Adam Smith David Hume Horace Walpole Edward Gibbon David Garrick Cesare Beccaria and Benjamin Franklin. Although he contributed extensively to the Encyclopédie he is remembered today for his writings against religion such as the System of Nature 1770 which was explicitly atheistic and materialistic. D'Holbach is thought to have been the model for the virtuous atheist Wolmar in Rousseau's Julie ou la nouvelle Héloïse. His philosophy influenced Marat Danton and Camille Desmoulins. During the French Directory a book of d'Holbach was circulated to all departmental heads in a bid to rein in religious revivalism. In England d'Holbach's views influenced Priestly Godwin and Shelley. In Germany d'Holbach's views influenced Immanuel Kant. His work is also said to have influenced the historical materialism of Karl Marx. Holbach's authorship of this and other such works was not revealed until years after he died.

Light foxing on first title-page. In fine condition. 153 1 pp.; 152 pp 1 l. Third edition of this translation of Holbach's La contagion sacrée very rare in this state since the work was suppressed. Porbase locates Portuguese translations printed in Paris 1830 and Madrid 1833; we assume these are the same translation but have not been able to confirm.Holbach argues that religion is a destructive superstition and details the disasters that have resulted from it. Joaquim António Nogueira who translated the work to Portuguese was convicted of having abused the liberty of the press with regard to religion. Most of the copies escaped destruction but were sold clandestinely with a new title-page stating that the work was printed in Madrid. According to Fonseca the work is a translation from the French but Nogueira says the work was first published in England in 1709 and the author's dedication is to an English Viscount. This work has often been attributed to John Trenchard and called a translation of his The Natural History of Superstition London 1709 but it is in fact a new work by Holbach first published in French in London i.e. Amsterdam 1768 with several later editions.Holbach 1723-1789 was born in Germany but was educated in Paris where he was to spend most of his life. An intimate of Diderot D'Alembert Rousseau and other prominent intellectuals of his time Holbach contributed many articles to the Encyclopédie. In 1770 his most famous work Le système de la nature provoked a storm of controversy by denying the existence of a deity and asserting that happiness is the end of mankind. Attacked for not offering alternatives to the social political and moral systems he had condemned Holbach attempted in the Système social 1773 and other works to satisfy his critics.The translator Joaquim António Nogueira ca. 1790-1851 a native of Beja was forced to emigrate in 1828. When the Miguelistas were defeated he served successively as secretary general for Beja Faro and Portalegre from 1836 to 1839. He also published a work justifying his actions as an administrator Justificação de Joaquim António Nogueira Lisbon 1841 and several works without his name on the title-page such as Catão portuguez ou Cathecismo constitucional Lisbon 1845.

He also made various improvements to Holland's French Holland not being a native French speaker.

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. <br/><br/><em>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. 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 Encyclopédie which was edited by Diderot and d'Alembert whom he became closely connected with. D'Holbach himself also contributed decisively to the Encyclopédie with at least 400 signed contributions and probably as many unsigned between 1752 and 1765. The "Côterie holbachique" or "the café 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 régime". 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. 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 "Système 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 "Systême 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 "Systême de la Nature". 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 "Systême de la Nature" appeared pseudonomously under the name of the secretary of the Académie 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.In his "Systême 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 "Systême 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 "Systême de la Nature" by developing a notion of the just state by d'Holbach calle "ethocracy" that is to secure general welfare. "Système 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" Sysème 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.As the "Systême de la Nature" had been condemned to burning in the year of its publication so the "Systême 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 "Systême de la Nature" the "Systême social" is thus also of great scarcity. Another edition of the work appeared later the same year in 12mo. Tchermerzine says that "Il ya une édition 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.Tschermerzine VI:246; Graesse III:317; Barbier IV:622 only listing later editions. </em> hardcover‎

‎Système de la Nature. Ou des Loix du Monde Physique & du Monde Moral.‎

‎Londres Amsterdam: Marc-Michel Rey 1770. FIRST EDITION FIRST ISSUE OF "THE BIBLE OF MATERIALISM" PMM 215. 2 vols. 8vo. 20 x 12.5 cm. Half-title Table des chapitres 2 title Avis de l'editeur 2 Préface de l'auteur 4pp.370; title Table des chapitres 2pp.412. Contemporary full mottled calf spines decorated in gilt two brown morocco labels vol. 1 missing one label decorative navy blue chequered endpapers pink silk ribbon page markers red speckled edges. Joints slightly cracked but strong and with some minor losses spines rubbed contents clean save for some occasional light toning generally a very good unsophisticated set of this major philosophical work. The rare first edition first issue with the correct pagination the comma after 'Londres' in the imprint' and without the 4-page errata which was added later during the printing process as mistakes were discovered of d'Holbach's main work the main work of materialism and one of the most important works of natural philosophy. Paul Heinrich Dietrich Baron d'Holbach was born at Heidelsheim in Germany and educated in Holland at Leiden University before settling in Paris and becoming a naturalized Frenchman. He first became known as a scientist and 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 discussions at the Baron's house which became known as 'the café of Europe' among foreign visitors to these dinners were Wilkes Hume and Sterne. Later Holbach turned from science to more dangerous topics: he wrote and had published abroad a stream of books attacking religion in all its aspects which flooded illegally into France. He could not publish safely under his own name but had 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 of Jean-Baptiste Mirabaud. When it reached France it provoked one of the greatest scandals of the century being immediately condemned on the 18th of August 1770 and put on the Index the 9th of November. "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. He derived the moral and intellectual faculties from man's sensibility to impressions made by the external world and saw human actions as entirely determined by pleasure and pain. He continued to direct his attack on religion by attempting to show that it derived entirely from habit and custom. But the Système was not a negative or destructive 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 works especially La Morale Universelle 1776. It was his aim to derive a morality and an ethic from a completely materialistic and atheistic bias.the confident dogmatism and the comprehensiveness of the Systême de la Nature which even provoked Voltaire to reply in defence of religion have ensured its survival as the bible of materialism" PMM 215.
