1950. Reprint of the 'Everyman's Library' edition of 1911 (No. 518). [iv], 444pp. plus an 8-page catalogue. Jean Jacques roussea (1712-78) was a French philosopher and writer. Emile, first published in 1762, is a philosophical romance (which is, in effect, a treatise on education) gave such an offence to the philosophers and the Church in France that it was condemned by the "Parlement" of Paris in June 1762, and, to avoid arrest Rousseau was obliged to retire to Switzerland. The book is bound in the original orange cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with light bumping to the spine ends and the contents are tight and clean with no inscription. The unclipped dustwrapper has shelf wear with some light soiling and the spine is slightly browned. The top edge is rubbed and the corner are bumped and nicked. Pieces of up to about 1/4" are missing from the spine ends and there is a tear of about 1/2" at the bottom of the spine that has been repaired on the reverse with tape.…
