Helvétius, Claude-Adrien. - De l'esprit. The Hague, P. Moetj - Lot 267
Helvétius, Claude-Adrien. - De l'esprit. The Hague, P. Moetjens, 1770. 3 volumes in-12 bound in full contemporary calf with ornate smooth spines, title and greeks (red and green) - spotting, 5 corners pierced - [2 ff, 2 ff, fx-title, title], VIII pp (preface), 235 pp; [2 ff], 219 pp, ix pp (table); [2 ff], 166 pp, 34 pp (letter to Father Berthier on materialism), iv pp (table). the letter to Father Berthier is by Abbé Gabriel-François Coyer. The first edition of this work, published in 1758, caused a scandal because of the materialist ideas developed in it, so much so that the privilege granted by J.-P.Tercier was revoked in 1759. This affair made a lot of noise and had unfortunate consequences for Tercier who fell in disgrace.
