Description:
Paris: G. de Luyne, C. Blageart, T. Girard, 1687. First Edition . Hardcover. Good. The 1st edition of this important Rationalist text, by an author who began as a poet and playwright, failed miserably at both, but went on to produce several great works of Descartian philosophy. A good copy, in probably the original leather, stamped on the spine "HIS/DES/ORA". The gilt devices on the spine are faded, the covers are scarred and somewhat bowed, and all pp. before the title page are missing. Edges are red-spotted; top edge soiled to dark brown. No foxing. 179 pp., French text.

- Hardcover
Paris: Victor Lecou, 1849. Later printing.
12mo (7 1/8 x 4 1/2 inches; 182 x 115 mm), [4], iv, 500 pages, in original morocco spine, titles in gilt, over marbled boards.
A vigorous defense of private property and opposition to "communism," appearing in the immediate aftermath of the 1848 revolutions in Europe. The first edition appeared in 1848; our copy was published the following year.
This is the first history of socialism (or communism) in any language, according to George Watson's "The Lost Literature of Socialism." Alfred Sudre (1820-1902) maintained that private property -- far from oppressing the poor -- was the best defense the poor had against oppression. Text in French.
CONDITION: Some rubbing to boards and foxing to page edges. Very Good or better.
