Best.-Nr. 46400209, Londres, 1758; 2 vol. in-12, veau fauve marbré, dos ornés. (Reliures de l'époque). 402 pp.- 402 pp.- PREMIÈRE EDITION IN-12, parue un an après l'originale in-8. Œuvre posthume importante. L'abbé de St-Pierre a commencé à en réunir les matériaux vers 1694 et en a achevé la rédaction en 1730. L'auteur considère l'histoire comme un moyen de faire connaître ses théories. Il y fait preuve d'une indépendance complète vis à vis des hommes et des événements. Les affaires politiques pures y tiennent peu de place. Quant aux guerres, il les juge en pacifiste irréductible, s'attardant plus à tout ce qui concerne le bonheur des citoyens. Dans son histoire, St Pierre fait entrer les mœurs, les habitudes et les lois. Il est à cet égard le précurseur de Voltaire. Grimm et Sabatier de Castres préféraient les Annales au Siècle de Louis XIV.- Voir Goumy, Etude sur…l'abbé de St. Pierre pp. 209 à 225 qui voit les Annales comme l'ouvrage le plus intéressant de l'auteur. Très bel exemplaire. XVIII e s.
