VOLTAIRE

Essay sur l'histoire générale, et sur les moeurs et l'esprit des Nations, depuis Charlemagne jusqu'à nos jours.

S.n. [Cramer], s.l. [Genève] 1761-1763, 8 tomes en 8 vol. in-8 (11,5x20cm), (4) 390pp. et (4) 406pp; (1) et (4) 406pp. (1) et (4) 396pp. (1) et (4) 366pp. (1) et (4) 388pp. (1) et (4) 379pp. (4) 86pp. et (4) 404pp. (1), reliés.


Edition partly original. This is the latest edition to carry the title Essay on the general history (that of 1764 only corrected the faults reported to the errata) before choosing the final title by Voltaire in the edition of 1771: Test on manners and the spirit of nations. The edition volumes formed the XI to XVIII of the complete works, it has obviously been edited separately but was part of the corpus of Voltaire's works published by Cramer.
Bound in full marbled contemporary sheepskin. Back with nerves decorated. 2 parts of title and volume number in red morocco for each volume. Amateur small restorations to the head caps of volumes I, II, II, V, VI, VII and VII and two tail caps. Most corners bumped.
