Add to basketA Londres, s.é., 1751. 2 parties reliées en 1 fort vol. au format in-12 (157 x 93 mm) de 1 f. bl., 3 ff. n.fol., 252 pp. et 1 f. n.fol. ; 1 f. n.fol., viii - 269 pp. et 1 f. bl. Reliure de l'époque de plein veau glacé et marbré havane, triple filet doré encadrant les plats, dos lisse orné de doubles caissons d'encadrement dorés, filets gras dorés, larges fleurons dorés, semis de cercles dorés, pièce de titre de maroquin vieux-rouge, titre doré, palette dorée en queue, filet doré sur les coupes, tranches mouchetées. Ensemble complet de ses deux parties ici reliées en un volume. Ouvrage ''qui fait le plus d'honneur à Madame de Puisieux''. (in Quérard). ''Il fut probablement rédigé en collaboration avec Diderot''. (in Cioranescu). ''Si les Conseils à une amie ont été partiellement écrits par Diderot, Madame de Puisieux se défend, dans le discours préliminaire de la deuxième partie, de trouver la main du célèbre philosophe, malgré la liaison qu'elle entretint avec lui, pendant cinq ans et qui prit fin en 1750. Touchée par cette rupture, Madame de Puisieux décida en 1751 de donner une suite aux Caractères, dans laquelle elle parle ouvertement de Diderot à plusieurs reprises.'' ''La critique s?accorde aujourd?hui sur l?importance des écrits de Mme de Puisieux notamment pour ses prises de position en matière d?éducation féminine et celles relatives aux rapports de sexes. Ses essais lui avaient valu au moment de leur sortie une gloire certaine. Les histoires littéraires en revanche ne la citent pas ou alors seulement comme maîtresse de Diderot à qui elles attribuent la paternité de ses ouvrages. Mme de Puisieux se défend contre cette insinuation dans le Discours qui ouvre la seconde partie de ses Caractères (1750-1751) ; elle y montre plus généralement les difficultés que rencontrèrent les femmes de lettres de son temps.'' (in Ecrits de femmes). Quérard VII, La France littéraire, p. 373 - Cioranecsu II, Bibliographie de la littérature française du XVIIIème, 51618 (pour l'originale millésimée 1750). Petit défaut affectant un mors ; sans cependant nuire à la solidité de l'ensemble. Dos présentant un éclat légèrement altéré. Quelques claires rousseurs ou petites tâches éparses dans le corps d'ouvrage (sans entrave pour la lecture). Nonobstant, bonne condition.
