Sobre este artículo
Par-Tout [i.e., Netherlands]: Chez Le Vrai Sage, 1755 First edition. Contemporary mottled calf, gilt spine with brown calf label, edges sprinkled brown. . Octavo. Title-page in black and red. Light wear to joints, old name inked out in the bottom margin of the title, causing a hole and some residual ink on the next leaf, not affecting text. Some minor foxing. A good, clean copy. Very little is known about Morelly—biographers and bibliographers don't even know his first name. He was born at Vitry-le-François, where he possibly taught. The present work is his most important. It is an early example of socialist thought and has much in common with Rousseau's early works, though instead of a social contract, Morelly favors a society without any contract at all. Like Rousseau, Morelly considers human nature essentially good, but corruptible by society. He argues for an egalitarian state with no private ownership. His other writings include a Utopian prose epic, Naufrage des iles flottantes ou la Basiliade (1753) and a work on education, Essai sur l'esprit humain, ou principes naturels de l'education. )1743). Karl Marx was favorably impressed by Morelly.

Our office is located in Los Angeles on West Third Street, between the Beverly Center and Farmer's Market. Though we gave up an open shop after more than thirty years, we welcome serious customers and dealers. We are normally open from 10 to 6 Monday through Saturday. Since some of our less expensive books are located in a temperature-controlled storage area offsite, you may want to call ahead of time to insure that the book you want to see will be available. We feature a stock strong in literature, history, Western philosophy, women's studies, education, history of science and fine printing and artists' books. We are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. We have books from the 15th to the 20th century in all prices ranges. We do appraisals for income tax and insurance purposes. We purchase individual books and libraries. Proprietor: Carol Sandberg
