Tail margin of portrait with light pencilled inscription signed by the artist. ◆Trivial imperfections if you are very unkind but A VERY FINE COPY especially clean fresh and bright internally in a virtually unworn binding. The austere exterior of this Jansenist binding encloses a riot of luxury where the exquisite inlaid floral doublures by Marius Michel fils the stately margins of the Large Paper Copy printed on thick smooth Whatman paper and the elegant illustrations by Edmond Hédouin add to the allure of Saint-Pierre's popular romance. First issued in 1788 and subsequently widely translated and often printed "Paul et Virginie" is the tale of two childhood friends on the unspoiled French island colony of Mauritius who grow up to fall in love. Their island paradise governed by socialist principles embraced by a contented populace living in harmony serves as an allegory for the corrupting influence of the French upper classes on the innocent "child of nature." Bernardin de Saint-Pierre 1737-1814 was a botanist as well as a literary writer and spent time in Mauritius studying its flora. His love of the tropical island and the influence of his friend and mentor Jean-Jacques Rousseau are both evident in the present work. Our edition benefits from the notes on the text and on the life of the author by prominent man of letters Anatole France 1844-1924 who would win the 1921 Nobel Prize for literature "in recognition of his brilliant literary achievements characterized as they are by a nobility of style a profound human sympathy grace and a true Gallic temperament." Considered the best binder of his generation as well as the founder of modern French bookbinding Henri Marius Michel 1846-1925 began his career in the atelier established by his father Jean in Paris in 1849 where they produced distinguished work in the prevailing historical styles for two decades. After the father's death in 1890 the firm came to even greater prominence when Henri began producing bindings in a completely new and original style that did nothing less than change the course of modern bookbinding in France. According to Duncan & De Bartha Henri believed passionately "that bookbinding needed a new vocabulary of ornamentation in order to express the mood and spirit of contemporary authors." The "vocabulary of ornamentation" he developed was based on nature the revolutionary "La Flore Ornamentale" style that he unveiled at the 1878 International Exposition. The doublures here give a hint of this new style using a delicate violet motif for the repeating mosaic design. [Printed by Ch. Unsinger for] Alphonse Le Merre unknown
1795réf. 3334The scarce first edition of Helen Maria Williams' translation of Saint-Pierre's best-selling Paul et Virginie. This English translation was also to prove enormously popular with many printings in England but this first appearance thought to have been printed in Paris at the English press of Williams' lover John Hurford Stone is scarce. Additionally this copy includes the suite of six engraved plates found only in a few copies. In 1792 two years after her first visit to Paris Helen Maria Williams returned to live there permanently. Her salon on the rue Helvétius became a meeting place not only for her Girondist circle but also for a large number of British American and Irish radicals writers and public figures including Mary Wollstonecraft Thomas Paine Joel Barlow and Charles James Fox. It was at this time that she became involved with John Hurford Stone 1763-1818 a radical English coal dealer who was working as a printer in Paris. Their involvement caused huge scandal in England as Stone was married. He divorced his wife in 1794 and it may be that he was married to Williams in the same year. On October 11th 1793 during tea with Bernardin de Saint-Pierre Williams had learnt that all British citizens in France were to be arrested following the French defeat at Toulon. The next day she and her family were taken to the Luxembourg prison where they stayed until 26th October when they were moved to the English Conceptionist Convent otherwise known as the Couvent des Anglaises. It was here that Williams began this translation. She was released in April of the following year on the condition that she left Paris: she and Stone went together to Switzerland until they were able to return to Paris in 1795 when Stone printed the completed work. Of the copies listed in ESTC only three copies Virginia Morgan and Penn have the plates although the BN copy also has the plates. Of the Morgan copy John Bidwell writes in their catalogue: 'Given the French origins of the paper type plates and binding and the quality of the typesetting this edition was printed in Paris almost certainly at the English press of the expatriate radical John Hurford Stone who was living with Helen Maria Williams at the time. Cf. Madeleine B. Stern "The English Press in Paris and its successors" PBSA 74 1980: 307-89'. Adding another level to the interchange of nationalities in this edition although French the type was of English origin being cast from Baskerville's punches by the Dépôt des caractères de Baskerville in Paris established by Beaumarchais in 1791 and closed c.1795–6. Beaumarchais a great admirer of Baskerville purchased the bulk of the Birmingham printer's punches from his widow after his death John Dreyfus 'The Baskerville punches 1750–1950' The Library 5th series 5 1951 26–48. 'The following translation of Paul and Virginia was written at Paris amidst the horrors of Robespierre's tyranny. During that gloomy epocha it was difficult to find occupations which might cheat the days of calamity of their weary length . In this situation I gave myself the task of employing a few hours every day in translating the charming little novel . and I found the most soothing relief in wandering from my own gloomy reflections to those enchanting scenes of the Mauritius which he has so admirably described . the public will perhaps receive with indulgence a work written under such peculiar circumstances; not composed in the calm of literary leisure or in pursuit of literary fame; but amidst the turbulence of the most cruel sensations and in order to escape from overwhelming misery' Preface signed Helen Maria Williams Paris June 1795. 8vo pp. ii viii 2 9-274 with six stipple engraved plates by Lingée Lefebvre and Clément two after designs by Dutailly tissue guards to all but one of the plates some scattered foxing the text printed on mixed stock much of which is slightly blue-tinted and watermarked 'P Lentaigne' occasional light spotting small marginal hole on D1 one gathering sprung in contemporary calf worn at extremities head and foot of spine chipped roll tool border to covers within double fillet gilt corner fleurons and circles gilt flat spine gilt in compartments blue morocco label lettered in gilt both covers badly scratched with bright marbled endpapers and gilt edges.

The figures are very beautiful.The touching composition of Moreau and especially his dramatic figure of Virginie's drowning by Prudhon make this volume very interesting." Cohen 931. Graesse Trésor de Livres rares VI 226 Paul et Virginie marks a phase in the French novel. Bernardin de Saint-Pierre crystalized in his work and in this novel all the travel literature so abundant in those times but didn't offered big literary merit. He carried the thesis of Rousseay who he only knew Switzerland and France in the tropics. Even better he succeeded in showing - what Rousseau couldn't do living men in state of nature at least as one could imagine at the end of the 18th century. As a novelist and painter he is the predecessor of Chateaubriand. For example peaking of the aurora borealis he writes: "The brilliancy of its fires joined to the trembling light of the moon renders the nights of a singular magnificence; the landscape is lit up by a dark and soft day." And by this Bernardin de Saint-Pierre is at the origin of a vast current that goes from Chateaubriand to Pierre Loti."

Graesse Trésor de Livres rares VI 226 " Paul et Virginie " marque une étape dans le roman français. Bernardin de Saint-Pierre a cristallisé dans son œuvre et dans ce roman toute la littérature de voyage si abondante en ce temps mais qui n'offrait pas grand mérite littéraire. Il a transporté les thèses de Rousseau qui lui ne connaissait que la Suisse et la France sous les Tropiques. Bien mieux il a réussi à montrer - ce que Rousseau n'avait pu faire - des hommes vivant à l'état de nature tels du moins qu'on pouvait les imaginer en cette fin du XVIIIe siècle. Comme romancier et comme peintre il est le prédécesseur de Châteaubriand. Parlant des aurores boréales par exemple il écrit : " l'éclat de ses feux joint à la lumière tremblante de la lune rend les nuis d'une magnificence singulière ; le paysage est éclairé d'un jour sombre et doux ". Et par là Bernardin de Saint-Pierre est bien à l'origine d'un vaste courant qui va de Châteaubriand à Pierre Loti.
