1764ref. 192458London: Printed for T. Becket and P. A. de Hondt 1764. Freedom of religion First edition in English of this seminal argument for toleration encapsulating Voltaire's famed campaign to secure posthumous justice for Jean Calas. Voltaire argues that tolerance was in line with natural law just and required by a proper understanding of Christianity. The Protestant merchant Jean Calas 1698-1762 was executed by a Toulouse court after having been found guilty of murdering his son to prevent his conversion to the Catholic Church. Voltaire saw the case as straightforward religious mania and campaigned energetically to prove the anti-Huguenot bias of the local judges. His Traité sur la tolérance was first published in 1763 the year after Calas's execution. This English translation was undertaken by William Kenrick 1729/30-1779 the chief reviewer for London's Monthly Review. His rendition of Voltaire's prose has been described as "unusually talented" by the standards of Grub Street ODNB. The year after this translation was published Louis XV removed the chief magistrate and had the case retried by another court. Calas was posthumously exonerated and his family paid 36000 francs. Octavo 197 x 126 mm pp. viii 247 1. Contemporary sprinkled calf spine decorated in gilt and with red calf label. With 20th-century bookplate of the Virginia historian Christopher Clark Geest. Light wear front and rear joints split at foot minor damp staining to contents and small worm track to 19 leaves and rear free endpapers not touching text: a very good copy. ESTC T137894. unknown
