rif. 85893Venedig Francesco Pitteri 1739. 8:o. Grav. porträtt iii-xxiv 199; 117 1 3-92 s. Lagerfläckig. Något nött samtida pergamentband ryggen med guldornerad beige titelfält.

Det franska originalet utkom 1731 och överättningar till engelska holländska och tyska utkom inom några få år liksom den första italienska som kom 1734. Den andra kom 1736. År 1744 utkom ytterligare en upplaga även den kallad för tredje. Porträttet i helfigur är graverat av Gioseffo Filosi verksam i Venedig mellan 1732 och 1744 och återfinns troligen endast i den italienska upplagan. unknown

This edition was first published in 1764. Engraved title with vignette portrait by P. R. Maverick of New York. 1 vols. 12mo. The editor notes on the advertisement leaf that he recognizes that there might be criticism for the translation and publication of this work "on account of the author's freedom in regard to matters of religion" but feels that the quality of the work exceeds its criticisms and the "True religion is not afraid of bearing the strictest examination." There was strong interest in the French writers of "free thought" and "intellectual liberalism" in America in the eighteenth-early 19th century especially Voltaire and Condillac. The Enlightenment in France greatly influenced the American enlightenment. Library Company of Philadelphia "First American Editions" p. 5; Shipton and Mooney 31518 Printed by T. and M.

rif. 117621Glasgow Printed by Robert Urie 1759. . Fourth edition; 12mo 18 x 10.5 cm; a little toned front hinge reinforced; contemporary tree calf contrasting red morocco lettering-piece to spine joint and headcap repaired slightly scuffed and rubbed very good; 6 3-149 13pp. An early Glasgow printing of this interesting outsider's take on English society and its people precipitated by Voltaire's exile to Great Britain in 1726. The resulting Letters first published in 1734 following his return to Paris express his great admiration for the comparative religious freedom enjoyed by England's Quakers and Socinians as well as its constitutional monarchy 'where the Prince is all powerful to do good and at the same time restrain'd from committing evil' the implication being that England could provide a model for France's reform p.53. When the French edition was published the following year without the approval of the royal censor as Lettres Philosophique it caused a storm with copies confiscated and publicly burnt and Voltaire again forced to flee Paris. The work remains one of Voltaire's most widely known and read texts which helped introduce Bacon Locke and Newton to Europe's Enlightenment thinkers. It also contains an early account of Newton's famous discovery of gravity passed on to Voltaire by Newton's niece Catherine Barton as well as an early translation into French verse of Hamlet's soliloquy from Act 3 Scene 1: 'Demeure il faut choisir & passer à l'instant / De la vie à la mort ou d l'Etre au neant.' p.173. Widely ranked as Voltaire's most important early philosophical work and 'the first bomb hurled against the Ancien Régime' Babson. ESTC T137639. Glasgow, Printed by Robert Urie, 1759. unknown
