Two important works from Condorcet.
1- "Essai sur la Constitution" : Scarce fist edition of the Condorcet's "most important political work" (Badinter Condorcet).
It is one of the fundamental texts in French political history and "the most important book of Constitutional Law that was published at that time and even since" (Allengry, Condorcet guide de la Révolution Française).
In this work, Condorcet is one of the first authors to claim the right to vote for women.
2. "Sur la nécessité de faire ratifier la Constitution par les citoyens", is less known but important, since Condorcet studies the question of whether, and under what conditions, a nation may confer upon an assembly the power to give it a constitution or to accept it on its behalf.

The second expedition, executed in 1839, departed from Le Havre and passed through Hamburg, Lubeck, Saint Petersburg, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Yaroslaw, and Kasan.

The views published in the present second album are the most famous, since they included beautiful lithographs of the largest Russian towns and their celebrated places, such as the Winter Palace and the Alexandrine column in St. Petersburg, the banks of the Volga in Nizhniy-Novgorod, the Kremlins of Kasan and Moscow.

Transcription in Spanish of the Defense of Louis XVI by Gérard de Lally-Tollendal who had proposed to be defender of Louis XVI during his trial. It is ultimately Malesherbes who will be preferred to him but Lally-Tollendal insisted on broadcasting his argument as he had prepared it.
Here it is the Spanish translation by Simon de Codes, secretary of the Royal Spanish Academy of Law, which is used.
We can thus see that all of Europe was passionate about this unique trial of one of the most powerful monarchs of the continent.

Figures de la Bible. Taferelen der voornaamste Geschiedenissen van het oude en nieuwe testament. 

La Haye, Pieter de Hondt, 1728.
More Details >
6000 €

First edition.
One of the most beautiful illustrations of the Bible in the eighteenth century.
This remarkable iconograph of the Bible in which Gérard Hoet and Bernard Picart mainly participated includes 214 full-page plates (29 double-page), the legend of which is written in Hebrew, English, German, Latin, French and Dutch.
The two frontispieces are captioned in French, the rest of the text is written in Dutch. Each chapter ends with a beautiful engraved cul-de-lampe.
This set of prints was first started by Picart in 1720 with the assistance of the Dutch painter Gérard Hoet, for what would undoubtedly become the pinnacle of the "Figures of the Bible". The Figures of the Bible are collections of engravings, which represent or signify Scripture through cycles of prints covering the entire Bible, a single Testament, or even a single biblical book. It is a genre that became popular with printing in the sixteenth century.
Pierre de Hondt, recovers the engravings of Picart, who with his multilingual legends already had a desire for European distribution, to accompany texts by Pierre Saurin (cf. Brunet). Everything is newly decorated with typographic ornaments.

Beautiful copy of Talleyrand at Chateau de Valençay with his ex libris in each volume.
