1764rif. 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.

1779rif. 40966London: Fielding and Walker. 1779. 1st Thus. Hardcover. Very Good in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. A very delightful gem for the Voltaire collector. This adorable little book has been rebound in dark blue leather with blue marbled endpapers. A prior owner has left a handsome bookplate on the front endpaper and has written his name in an antique hand on the title page. The book was printed on rag paper which has toned lightly. There is some foxing as expected but the text is entirely legible. The date of the rebinding is impossible to ascertain but I would guess late 19th century. There is some dulling of the gold titles. As to the contents there is an 83-page section at the back titled Original Pieces as an addendum to the main works. Contact me for more particulars. Fast shipping with tracking number provided. ; 5.5x8.25x1 inches; 224 pages . Fielding and Walker hardcover
