About this Item
Octavo, 453 pages. In Very Good condition. Quarter bound in green cloth with silk marbled paper boards. Gilt lettering to spine. Minor rubbing and shelfwear to head and tail of spine with stray dark possible ink marks above title. Fading of cloth boards along hinges of spine. Bumping to paper fore-edges exposing boards and chipping along top and bottom edges of front and back paper covers. Age-toning to textblock. Small ink marks to top left of first free edge. Slight separation between first free edge and half-title page at gutter. Tanning with intermittent light soiling to edges of pages. Mild soiling and minor tearing to half-title page for second book in volume located after page 206. Noticeable staining to bottom right of pages 2165-247. Pages tipped in between 16-17 and 240-241 cut. Shelved in Rm. G. The listed print date of 1795 is inaccurate. This copy was printed in 1880. This volume actually contains two distinct books and it was banned at the time of its publication. It is likely that this is a clandestine edition published by Jan Gay in Belgium. Currently, these two works are seen as more of a social commentary on morality, especially in the wake of the French Revolution. De Sade's arguments in support of 'libertinism' and atheism are of particular focus. 1370659. Special Collections. Seller Inventory # 1370659
