Best.-Nr. 25367A Londres 1774. In- 12 relié de 479 pages au format 10 x 3,5 x 17 cm. Demi maroquin avec plats en papier marbré. Dos rond avec étiquette d'appartenance de Vittorio Ferrari. Titre et fleurons dorés et gravés. Nom de l'auteur et annotation à la plume en page de titre. Plats et coins avec infimes frottis. Intérieur très frais. Rarissime tirage en date de 1774 mais qui reproduit apparemment l'édition originale. En effet, il n'est pas fait mention en page de titre de cette note : ...Nouvelle Edition, revue et corrigée par l'Auteur, qui a jugé à propos de refondre le Chapitre de la Bibliothèque du Roi et de plus il manque en fin d'ouvrage le chapitre intitulé : Supplément au chapitre de la bibliothèque du Roi tel qu’il étoit dans les précédentes éditions. Très bel état général pour cette Utopie, considérée comme l'un des tous premiers textes d'Anticipation. De toute rareté. Exemplaire enrichi d'une note manuscrite, explicative, rédigée en italien, sur feuille volante.
