Item description from seller

First American edition. This edition was first published in 1764. Engraved title with vignette portrait by P. R. Maverick of New York. 1 vols. 12mo. The editor notes on the advertisement leaf that he recognizes that there might be criticism for the translation and publication of this work "on account of the author's freedom in regard to matters of religion" but feels that the quality of the work exceeds its criticisms and the "True religion is not afraid of bearing the strictest examination." There was strong interest in the French writers of "free thought" and "intellectual liberalism" in America in the eighteenth-early 19th century, especially Voltaire and Condillac. The Enlightenment in France greatly influenced the American enlightenment.

Marginal browning of text, browning or staining of endpapers, else a very good copy with the contemporary signature of John Gebhard Jr on free endpaper Engraved title with vignette portrait by P. R. Maverick of New York. 1 vols. 12mo First American edition. This edition was first published in 1764.…
