LE GRAND, Louis. - Lot 1128
LE GRAND, Louis. Censorship by the Faculty of Theology in Paris, against a book entitled Émile ou de l'éducation. Paris, P. Al. Le Prieur, 1762. In-8 (192 x 123 mm) of 352 pp.; spotted calf, triple gilt fillet framing, spine ribbed and decorated, marbled edges (contemporary binding). Original edition. As soon as it was published, Émile was condemned by the parliament of Paris, presided over by Louis Legrand, on June 9, 1762. But this book, which castigates the work of Rousseau, had the opposite function: we find here a summary of the work which rather encouraged its reading. Nice copy.
