About This Item
Paris: Chez Bossange, 1802. First Edition. Wraps. Near fine. Benthams Legal Utilitarianism
BENTHAM, Jeremy. Traités de législation civile et pénale. Paris: Chez Bossange, 1802. Vol 1: Half-title + TP + v - xx + [1] - 434; Vol 2: Half-title + TP + v - xlii + [1] - 370; Vol 3: Half-title + TP + v - viii + [1] - 452. 3-volume octavo. First Edition mostly unopened in original wrappers.
First uncommon edition of this important treatise on the philosophy of law, transcribed and (in part) translated from the original manuscripts by Pierre Etienne Louis Dumont. Theory of Legislation was put on the Index by the Catholic Church. Bentham's principal work was first published in French in 1802. It embraces almost everything that is important in the science of human nature, and not only touches upon all the higher questions of government and legislation, but includes most of the abstract principles of ethics and metaphysics, and professes to delineate those important rules by which the finest speculations of philosophy may be made to exert their influence on the actual condition of society.
CONDITION: Very good if not near fine in original wrappers. Original paper labels on spine. Many sheets still unopened. Scarce in such near-perfect, as-issued condition.
