Paris, Jombert, 1747-1749. 1747 1 vol. in-4° (265 x 205 mm) en 2 parties de : première partie: VIII (titre, avis, table et errata); 82pp.; 2 tableaux rempliés; 4 grandes planches de systèmes dépliantes; deuxième partie: XVI (titre, avis, table des chapitres); 489pp. (erreur de pagination sans manque, p.35 et 36 paginées 33 et 34). 4 vignettes gravées et lettrines. Ex-libris manuscrit à lencre brune: "M. Arthaud notaire" sur une étiquette gravée au dos du 1er plat. (Quelques pages brunies, rares rousseurs).

Rares et uniques éditions de ces deux ouvrages dus à labbé André-François Brancas (169? 1758). Brancas est lauteur de plusieurs ouvrages de physique et d'astronomie, tous publiés anonymement. Ses travaux contestent souvent les découvertes scientifiques de lépoque. Ainsi, dans le premier texte: Système moderne de cosmographie et de physique générale [...], il réfute le système de Copernic. Il y présente les différentes thèses sur l'univers ainsi que les observations des principales académies des sciences. Son propos est illustré de 2 tableaux dépliants et de 4 grandes planches dépliantes représentant des schémas astronomiques remarquablement exécutées. A noter la planche spectaculaire montrant les trajectoires elliptiques de Saturne, Jupiter et Mars autour de la Terre. Dans le second ouvrage, à linstar des travaux de César d'Arcons, de Scalberge ou de Jacques Alexandre d'Arcons sur "Le fux et le reflux de la mer", labbé Brancas donne sa propre vision du phénomène des marées. A une époque où les bases de l'astronomie telle que nous la connaissons aujourd'hui sont déjà connues et mathématiquement établies grâce à Copernic, Kepler, Newton, etc., Brancas, croit encore à la rotation du soleil autour de la terre et pense que les étoiles ne sont que des planètes firmamentaires (II, p.7), pas plus éloignées de nous que de deux fois la distance de Saturne et que si elles brillent tant, c'est à cause de leur masse et de leur atmosphère plus étendue que les planètes solaires, et plus propre à la réflexion des rayons (solaires), ou du moins de leur disque plus radieux à cause de leur fixité ou stabilité (II, p.7) . Un peu plus loin, il explique la cause simple et naturelle de tous les mouvements des astres... par la raréfaction et l'électrisation active, qui est produite, d'un côté dans l'éther circonvoisin de leur atmosphère, et dans la condensation et électrisation réactive de cet élément à l'opposite dans l'étendue de leur ombre [] (II, p.9). Ses ouvrages sont particulièrement rares sur le marché. Pour le premier texte, nous avons localisé 7 exemplaires conservés en fonds publics et aucun passé en vente publique 4 pour le second texte. La réunion de ces deux textes en un ouvrage est dautant plus recherché que nous navons trouvé aucun exemplaire comprenant ces deux travaux. Provenance: "M. Arthaud notaire" (ex-libris à lencre manuscrit sur une étiquette gravée au dos du 1er plat). Rare réunion de ces deux textes montrant la persistance de théories scientifiques contradictoires au 18ème siècle. 1 vol. 4to (265 x 205 mm) in 2 parts of: first part: VIII (title, notice, table and errata); 82pp.; 2 filled tables; 4 large folding plates of systems; second part: XVI (title, notice, table of chapters); 489pp. (pagination error without incidence, p.35 and 36 paginated 33 and 34). 4 engraved vignettes and lettering. Handwritten ex-libris in brown ink: "M. Arthaud notaire" on a label engraved on the back cover. (A few pages browned, some foxing). Full contemporary marbled calf, spine ribbed and decorated, red morocco title, gilt filleting on the boards with angular fleurons, double gilt filleting on the edges, inner gilt roulette, gilt edges. (Covers and corners discreetly restored). Rare and unique editions of these two works by Abbé André-François Brancas (169? - 1758). Brancas is the author of several works of physics and astronomy, all published anonymously. His works often challenge the scientific discoveries of the time. Thus, in the first text: "Système moderne de cosmographie et de physique générale [...]", he refutes the system of Copernicus. He presents the different theses on the universe as well as the observations of the main academies of sciences. His remarks are illustrated with 2 folding tables and 4 large folding plates representing astronomical diagrams remarkably executed. Note the spectacular plate showing the elliptical trajectories of Saturn, Jupiter and Mars around the Earth. In the second work, following the example of the works of César d'Arcons, Scalberge or Jacques Alexandre d'Arcons on "Le fux et le reflux de la mer", Abbé Brancas gives his own vision of the phenomenon of tides. At a time when the bases of astronomy such as we know it today are already known and mathematically established thanks to Copernicus, Kepler, Newton, etc., Brancas, still believes in the rotation of the sun around the earth and thinks that the stars are only "firmament planets" (translated from French: II, p.7 ), not more distant from us than twice the distance of Saturn and that if they shine so much, it is because of their "mass and of their atmosphere more extended than the solar planets, and more suitable to the reflection of the rays (solar), or at least of their disc more radiant because of their fixity or stability" (translated from French: II, p.7) . A little further on, he explains the "simple and natural cause of all the movements of the stars... by the rarefaction and the active electrification, which is produced, on the one hand in the ether surrounding their atmosphere, and in the condensation and reactive electrification of this element on the opposite in the extent of their shadow [...]" (translated from French: II, p.9). His works are particularly rare on the market. For the first text, we have located 7 copies preserved in public funds, none passed in public sale and only 4 for the second text. The reunion of these two texts in one work is all the more sought after as we have not found any copy including these two works. Provenance: "M. Arthaud notaire" (ex-libris handwritten in ink on a label engraved on the back of the first cover). Rare reunion of these two texts showing the persistence of contradictory scientific theories in the 18th century.

London [recte: Amsterdam, M.M. Rey], 1773. 8vo. Bound in one beautiful contemporary full mottled calf binding with five raised bands to richly gilt spine triple gilt line-borders to boards and inner gilt dentelles. Edges of boards with single gilt line. All edges gilt. Corners abit bumped and a bit of overall wear. Inner hinges a bit weak. Internally very fine and clean. All in all a very fine copy indeed.

The rare first edition, first issue (though Tchermerzine mentions an unknown 2-volume-edition form the same year - this edition has never been verified), of one of d'Holbach's most important works, his influential ""social"" and political continuation of his seminal main work ""Systeme de la nature"" - the bible of materialism. D'Holbach (1723-1789), who was raised by a wealthy uncle, whom he inherited, together with his title of Baron, in 1753, maintained one of the most famous salons in Paris. This salon became the social and intellectual centre for the Encyclopédie, which was edited by Diderot and d'Alembert, whom he became closely connected with. D'Holbach himself also contributed decisively to the Encyclopédie, with at least 400 signed contributions, and probably as many unsigned, between 1752 and 1765. The ""Côterie holbachique"" or ""the café of Europe"", as the salon was known, attracted the most brilliant scientists, philosophers, writers and artists of the time (e.g. Diderot, d'Alembert, Helvetius, Voltaire, Hume, Sterne etc, etc.), and it became one of the most important gathering-places for the exchange of philosophical, scientific and political views under the ""ancient régime"". Apart from developing several foundational theories of seminal scientific and philosophical value, D'Holbach became known as one of the most skilled propagators and popularizers of scientific and philosophical ideas, promoting scientific progress and spreading philosophical ideas in a new and highly effective manner. D'Holbach was himself the most audacious philosophe of this circle. During the 1760's he caused numerous anticlerical tracts (written in large, but not entirely, by himself) to be clandestinely printed abroad and illegally circulated in France. His philosophical masterpiece, the ""Système de la nature, ou des lois du monde physique et du monde moral"", a methodological and intransigent affirmation of materialism and atheism, appeared anonymously in 1770"" (D.S.B. VI:468), as did the social and political follow-up of it, the famous ""Systême social"" in 1773. That is to say, Mirabeau whom he had used as the author on the ""System of Nature"" in 1770 is not mentioned in the ""Social System"", on the title-page of which is merely stated ""By the Author of ""Systême de la Nature"". As the theories of d'Holbach's two systematic works were at least as anticlerical and unaccepted as those of his smaller tracts, and on top of that so well presented and so convincing, it would have been dangerous for him to print any of them under his own name, and even under the name of the city or printer. Thus, ""Systême de la Nature"" appeared pseudonomously under the name of the secretary of the Académie Francaise, J.B. Mirabaud, who had died 10 years earlier, and under a fictive place of printing, namely London instead of Amsterdam. ""He could not publish safely under his own name, but had the ingenious idea of using the names of recently dead French authors. Thus, in 1770, his most famous book, ""The System of Nature"", appeared under the name Jean-Baptiste Mirabaud."" (PMM 215), and so the next ""System"" also appeared in the same manner three years later.In his ""Systême de la Nature"", d'Holbach had presented philosophical materialism in an actual system for the first time and had created a work that dared unite the essence of all the essential material of the English and French Enlightenment and incorporate it into a closed materialistic system"" on the basis of a completely materialistic and atheistic foundation, he provided the modern world with a moral and ethic philosophy, the effects of which were tremendous. It is this materialism and atheism that he continues three years later in his next systematic work ""Systême social"", through which politics, morality, and sociology are also incorporated into his system and take the place of the Christianity that he had so fiercely attacked earlier on. In this great work he extends his ethical views to the state and continues the description of human interest from ""Systême de la Nature"" by developing a notion of the just state (by d'Holbach calle ""ethocracy"") that is to secure general welfare. ""Système social (1773"" ""Social System"") placed morality and politics in a utilitarian framework wherein duty became prudent self-interest."" (Encyclopaedia Brittanica). ""Holbach's foundational view is that the most valuable thing a person seeking self-preservation can do is to unite with another person: ""Man is of all beings the most necessary to man"" (Sysème social, 76"" cf. Spinoza's Ethics IVP35C1, C2, and S). Society, when it is just, unites for the common purpose of preservation and the securing of welfare, and society contracts with government for this purpose."" (SEP).As the ""Systême de la Nature"" had been condemned to burning in the year of its publication, so the ""Systême social"" was on the list of books to be confiscated already in 1773, and it was placed on the Index of the Church in August 1775. As the ""Systême de la Nature"", the ""Systême social"" is thus also of great scarcity. Another edition of the work appeared later the same year, in 12mo. Tchermerzine says that ""Il ya une édition, que nous ne connaissons pas, en 2 vol. in-8. C'est sans doute l'originale."" The present edition was reprinted the following year, in 1774.Tschermerzine VI:246" Graesse III:317 Barbier IV:622 (only listing later editions).
London, 1774. 8vo. 2 volumes uniformly bound in contemporary half calf with gilt ornamentation to spine. Spines with wear of boards miscoloured. Internally fine and clean. (16) 397 pp."" (4), 500, (3) pp. Wanting the frontispiece.
Later edition, published four years after the original, comprising ""The System of Nature"" - one of the most important works of natural philosophy ever written and the work that is considered the main work of materialism - and ""The Social System"", being d'Holbach's seminal ""social"" and political continuation of that groundbreaking work. D'Holbach (1723-1789), who was raised by a wealthy uncle, whom he inherited, together with his title of Baron, in 1753, maintained one of the most famous salons in Paris. This salon became the social and intellectual centre for the Encyclopédie, which was edited by Diderot and d'Alembert, whom he became closely connected with. D'Holbach himself also contributed decisively to the Encyclopédie, with at least 400 signed contributions, and probably as many unsigned, between 1752 and 1765.

Apart from developing several foundational theories of seminal scientific and philosophical value, D'Holbach became known as one of the most skilled propagators and popularizers of scientific and philosophical ideas, promoting scientific progress and spreading philosophical ideas in a new and highly effective manner. As the theories of d'Holbach's two systematic works were at least as anticlerical and unaccepted as those of his smaller tracts, and on top of that so well presented and so convincing, it would have been dangerous for him to print any of them under his own name, and even under the name of the city or printer. Thus, ""Systême de la Nature"" appeared pseudonomously under the name of the secretary of the Académie Francaise, J.B.

VI:468), as did the social and political follow-up of it, the famous ""Systême social"" in 1773. That is to say, Mirabeau whom he had used as the author on the ""System of Nature"" in 1770 is not mentioned in the ""Social System"", on the title-page of which is merely stated ""By the Author of ""Systême de la Nature"". In his main work, the monumental ""Système de la Nature"", d'Holbach presented that which was to become one of the most influential philosophical theories of the time, combined with and based on a complex of advanced scientific thought. He postulated materialism, and that on the basis of science and empiricism, on the basis of his elaborate picture of the universe as a self-created and self-creating entity that is constituted by material elements that each possess specific energies. He concludes, on the basis of empiricism and the positive truths that the science of his time had attained, that ideas such as God, immortality, creation etc. must be either contradictory or futile, and as such, his materialism naturally also propounded atheism"" his theory of the universe showed that nature is the product of matter (eternally in motion and arranged in accordance with mechanical laws), and that reality is nothing but nature. Thus, having in his ""Systême de la Nature"" presented philosophical materialism in an actual system for the first time and having created a work that dared unite the essence of all the essential material of the English and French Enlightenment and incorporate it into a closed materialistic system, d'Holbach had provided the modern world with a moral and ethic philosophy, the effects of which were tremendous. It is this materialism and atheism that he continues three years later in his next systematic work ""Systême social"", through which politics, morality, and sociology are also incorporated into his system and take the place of the Christianity that he had so fiercely attacked earlier on. In this great work he extends his ethical views to the state and continues the description of human interest from ""Systême de la Nature"" by developing a notion of the just state (by d'Holbach called ""ethocracy"") that is to secure general welfare. ""Système social (1773"" ""Social System"") placed morality and politics in a utilitarian framework wherein duty became prudent self-interest."" (Encyclopaedia Brittanica). ""Holbach's foundational view is that the most valuable thing a person seeking self-preservation can do is to unite with another person: ""Man is of all beings the most necessary to man"" (Sysème social, 76"" cf. Spinoza's Ethics IVP35C1, C2, and S). Society, when it is just, unites for the common purpose of preservation and the securing of welfare, and society contracts with government for this purpose."" (SEP). Both works had a sensational impact. For the first time, philosophical materialism is presented in an actual system, and with the second of them, this system also comprised politics and sociology, a fact which became essential to the influence and spreading of this atheistic scientific-philosophical strand. The effects of the works were tremendous, and the consequences of their success were immeasurable, thus, already in the years of publication, both works were confiscated. The ""Système de la Nature"" was condemned to burning by the Parisian parliament in the year of its publication"" the ""Système social"" was on the list of books to be confiscated already in 1773, and it was placed on the Index of the Church in August 1775. Both works are thus scarce. In spite of their condemnation, and in spite of the reluctance of contemporary writers to acknowledge the works as dangerous (as Goethe said in ""Dichtung und Wahrheit"": ""Wir begriffen nicht, wie ein solches Buch gefährlich sein könnte. Es kam uns so grau, so todtenhaft vor""), the ""Systems"" and d'Holbach's materialism continued its influence on philosophic, political and scientific thought. In fact, it was this materialism that for Marx became the social basis of communism. ""In the ""Système"" Holbach rejected the Cartesian mind-body dualism and attempted to explain all phenomena, physical and mental, in terms of matter in motion. He derived the moral and intellectual faculties from man's sensibility to impressions made by the external world, and saw human actions as entirely determined by pleasure and pain. He continued his direct attack on religion by attempting to show that it derived entirely from habit and custom. But the Systeme was not a negative or destructive book: Holbach rejected religion because he saw it as a wholly harmful influence, and he tried to supply a more desirable alternative. ""(Printing and the Mind of Man, 215). ""In keeping with such a naturalistic conception of tings, d'Holbach outlined an anticreationalist cosmology and a nondiluvian geology. He proposed a transformistic hypothesis regarding the origins of the animal species, including man, and described the successive changes, or new emergences, of organic beings as a function of ecology, that is, of the geological transformation of the earth itself and of its life-sustaining environment. While all this remained admittedly on the level of vague conjecture, the relative originality and long-term promise of such a hypothesis -which had previously been broached only by maillet, Maupertuis, and Diderot- were of genuine importance to the history of science. Furthermore, inasmuch as the principles of d'Holbach's mechanistic philosophy ruled out any fundamental distinction between living an nonliving aggregates of matter, his biology took basic issue with both the animism and the vitalism current among his contemporaries...This closely knit scheme of theories and hypotheses served not merely to liberate eighteenth-century science from various theological and metaphysical empediments, but it also anticipated several of the major directions in which more than one science was later to evolve. Notwithstanding suchprecursors as Hobbes, La Mttrie, and Diderot, d'Holbach was perhaps the first to argue unequivocally and uncompromisingly that the only philosophical attitude consistent with modern science must be at once naturalistic and antisupernatural.""
