In 8° (cm 13,5 x 20), cartonatura muta coeva , pp XVI, 365, grandi bei capilettera silografici, finalini. Esemplare in discrete condizioni, in barbe, carta forte ma brunita e con ingialliture e tracce di umidità al margine esterno di alcune cc; mancano le ultime tre cc bb, secondo la collazione degli unici due esemplari trovati nelle biblioteche, censiti in SBN. Dall'"Avertissement" all'opera omnia nella prestigiosa edizione di Kehl, ecco citata la presente edizione, come tra le prime fedeli alle intenzioni dell'autore: "Ce fut en 1762 seulement que M. de Voltaire publia une édition de son ouvrage, très différente de toutes les autres. Ce poème fut réimprimé en 1774, dans lédition in-4°, avec quelques changements et des additions assez considérables. ... dernière édition, revue et corrigée encore sur danciens manuscrits...". Le traversie tipografiche della "Pucelle" sono innumerevoli. Fu iniziata verso il 1730, e subito iniziò a circolare manoscritta, con vasta fortuna, presso amici di V. e le "Sociétés littéraires" assai diffuse al tempo; verso la fine del 1755, ne apparve un'edizione a stampa, datta a Francoforte con falso luogo di stampa Louvain, che V. si affrettò a disconoscere, composta su un manoscritto rubato all'A. e largamente spuria. Tale edizione è opera del La Beaumelle e del "capucin défroqué" Maubert, redatta con l'intenzione di guadagnare denaro e compromettere V. Se ne parla, con indignazione, nella "Préface" alla presente edizione. Ricattato da librai, vittima di odi partigiani tra gli intellettuali esultanti del "divide et impera" che si stava producendo nella società grazie alle vicissitudini del poema, V. fu maltrattato dagli editori, che irritati dal disconoscimento pubblico della prima edizione ristamparono la "Pucelle" nel 1756, aggiungendovi per schernirlo, il disconoscimento stesso, e parecchie "pièces" satiriche contro l'A. Il che aumentò celebrità e vendite. Nel 1757 comparve a Londra un'altra edizione del poema, conforme alle prime e ornata di incisioni di dubbio gusto; le ristampe si succedettero rapidamente, la prima parigina è del 1759: ed eccoci giunti alla presente. Un esemplare censito in COPAC di edizione coeva, con luogo Londra, ma diversa paginazione, e uno in SBN.

réf. 11461No publisher or date late C19th. Broadsheet one page 44 x 21.5cm fold marks two small closed tears staining at top not affecting text mainly good condition. The item has introductory remarks on the verses presumably manuscript being sent by Keate with a gift reminding readers of Keate's work on the Pellew Islands and patronage of Lee Bow another Marcellus. These are followed by 34 lines of verse offering support and help with complimentary phrases. It commences "'Tis not I readily confess My virgin hue or silv'ry dress" concluding "My last drop will flow for you. Such the aid I mean to give If with you allow'd to live." This is followed by brief words on the death burial and nature of Keate with 10 lines from the epitaph on or near his grave with a few words about "a Gentleman who distinguished himself in his early years at the Scotch Bar" who "prepared" the Epitaph. Apparently not published elsewhere. Notes: a.James Carmichael Smyth features in both" An account of the Pelew Islands" and "The History of Prince Lee Boo son of Abba Thulleking of the Pelew Islands". e b.DNB "Smyth experimented with nitrous-acid gas for the prevention of contagion in cases of fever. At the request of the government he continued the experiments at the prison and hospital at Winchester Hampshire where there was an epidemic of typhus. He conducted a similar experiment to destroy contagion in 1795 on the HMS Union a hospital ship which between September 1795 and January 1796 had taken on board 479 typhus sufferers from the Russian fleet. He heated crude nitre presumably with carbon and the oxides of nitrogen given off would in fact have been fatal to the lice which spread typhus a disease not yet distinguished from typhoid. In addition Smyth thought washing and cleanliness very important. For his experimental work parliament voted Smyth in 1802 a reward of £5000. His claim to the discovery was disputed by Dr John Johnstone of Birmingham for his father Dr James Johnstone and by M. Chaptal for Guyton de Morveau. After a keen controversy Smyth's claims were upheld. Shortly afterwards he was elected physician-extraordinary to George III. He then went to the south of France for his health and on his return settled at Sunbury Middlesex. He died at Sunbury on 18 June 1821". From the papers of the Carmichael-Smyth Family.
