Book First Edition
Couverture rigide. Condition: Bon. Edition originale. Paris, Chez Bouqueton Libraire, vieille rue du Temple, L'an Ier de la République [1792]. 2 tome in-12, 264 et 296pp. Plein cuir, dos lisse décoré, pièces de titre et de tomaison bordeaux, triple filet d encadrement sur les plats, tranches marbrées de bleu, papier bleuté. Reliures usagées mais solides, intérieur très propre, sans rousseurs. Les photos font partie de la description. Si la pensée et les écrits d'Holbach étaient, à l époque, largement diffusés, la divulgation du Testament du Curé Meslier fit l effet d une bombe. Jean Meslier (1664-1729) qui exerça son ministère pendant 40 ans dans une petite commune des Ardennes serait resté un curé anonyme si, 6 ans après sa mort, l écrivain Nicolas-Claude Thériot n avait mis la main sur les 366 feuillets de son testament. Jean Mesnier y renie toute forme de religion et l existence même d un dieu, et il invite ses paroissiens à en faire de même. Cette virulente étude critique philosophique est aussi une critique sociale qui remet en cause la légitimité des gouvernants et appelle à une révolution sociale. Voltaire avait fait publier en 1762 quelques extraits de ce vibrant plaidoyer pour l athéisme et la libre pensée. Le baron d Holbach lui donne ici une place plus importante. Il faudra attendre le siècle suivant pour voir la publication intégrale de l ouvrage de celui qui sera considéré comme le père fondateur de l anticléricalisme français.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. 12mo. in format, comprised of two parts, bound in marbled paper over boards, brown leather-backed, hardcover. Tome Premier [6], 264 pp.; Tome II: 296 pp. At the bottom of p. 296 is the following: "Voila le precis exact du testament in folio de Jean Meslier; qu'on juge de quel poids est le temoignagne d'un pretre mourant, qui demande pardon a Dieu. Ce 25 mars 1742." Printed on blue-tinted paper. Inside the front flap at extreme top in extreme miniscule appears what appears to be previous owner's name (Arthur Den---unintelligible) and then a paragraph's worth of miniscule notation and that mentions D'Holbach. Scholars of intellectual debate in mid-late 17th century French society have dubbed the "Arnauld (1612-1694)-Malebranche (1638-1715) Debate" one of the great intellectual events of the century, and both men were Catholic priests. Denis Moreau writes that "From 1683 to 1694, a long and furious polemic took place between Malebranche and Antoine Arnauld. When the debate began, Malebranche was still a ?young? philosopher (The Search After Truth was published in 1674), identified by the public as one of the leading lights of the new generation of Cartesians. Antoine Arnauld (1612- 1694), on the other hand, was an ?old? thinker, known mainly for his theological (rather than philosophical) writings" (from The Malebranche-Arnauld Debate).Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.

First Edition
THE FIRST PUBLISHED ATHEIST DENUNCIATION OF THE CHURCH: A FOUNDATION WORK IN THE ATHEIST CANON. "LE LIVRE LE PLUS HARDI ET LE PLUS TERRIBLE QUI AIT JAMAIS PARU DANS AUCUN LIEU DU MONDE" - GRIMM. Octavo (190 x 120mm.) pp. [2], ii, xxviii, 295, [1]. a*2, a-b8, A-S8, T2. Woodcut ornament on title, typographical ornaments. In contemporary cats-paw calf, spine richly gilt in gilt ruled compartments, large sunflower tools gilt at centres, green morocco label gilt, edges with gilt dentelle roll, blue marbled endpapers, all edges marbled blue. A fine copy, fresh, crisp and clean. FIRST EDITION, very rare and a fine copy, of Holbach's first work, the first published atheist denunciation of Christianity, printed in a very small print run, with a false date and imprint, in the guise of a work by Holbach's friend Boulanger, who had died a few years previously. "Paul Henri Thiery, Baron d'Holbach (1723-1789), was the centre of the radical wing of the Philosophes. He was friend, host, and patron to a wide circle that included Diderot, D'Alembert, Helvetius, and Hume. Holbach wrote, translated, edited, and issued a stream of books and pamphlets, often under other names, that has made him the despair of bibliographers but has connected his name, by innuendo, gossip, and association, with most of what was written in defence of atheistic materialism in late eighteenth-century France" (Richardson, p. i). Holbach realised that the publication of his incendiary text would need to be treated with the utmost caution. He had carried out the posthumous publishing of two works by his good friend Boulanger, L'Origine du Despotisme Oriental in 1761 and L'Antiquité Devoilé in 1765. He then took advantage of the cover given by these works to publish his own, much more explosive work, concealed behind the name of Boulanger, using a false date, and with a title that imitated one of Boulanger's. "M. Barbier has published detailed information given him by Naigeon to the effect that Holbach entrusted the manuscript to M. De Saint-Lambert, who had it printed by Leclerc at Nancy . . . Most copies that got to Paris at that time were bought by several officers of the King's regiment then in garrison at Nancy, among them M. De Villevielle, a friend of Voltaire and Condorcet. Damilaville (one of Holbach's chief collaborators) did not sell a single copy and even had a great deal of trouble to get one for Holbach who waited for it a long time" (Cushing p. 46). The most detailed bibliography to date, by J. Vercruysse, entirely concurs with Barbier's account of the printing of the few copies of the first edition at Nancy, but corrects the date of printing to probably 1766, as correspondence about the work, particularly from Voltaire, Diderot and Grimm commenced from that year. The watermarks also date the paper to 1762-3. We now know, through the testimony of Naigeon, Holbach's chief collaborator, that Holbach then used this clandestine form of printing to publish, with the same collaborators, a whole series of atheist texts, an extremely dangerous occupation. "Indeed, Diderot feared for his friends who produced such atheistic works, writing in 1768, 'It's raining bombs on the house of the Lord. I go in fear and trembling lest one of these terrible bombers gets into difficulties.' He certainly had in mind his friend d'Holbach" (Holohan. pp. xl). The initial diffusion of the work was slow as it was produced in a very small print run, and was actively sought after by the police. Both Voltaire and Diderot wrote to friends advising extreme caution because of the danger of owning the work. Voltaire noted that it had created "une sensation prodigieuse et meritée," describing it as a bomb thrown against the ancient edifice of the church. Diderot wrote that the work was being sold for as much as four gold 'Louis' and that anyone caught selling a copy was severely punish . . . (FULL DESCRIPTION ON REQUEST).
