ROUSSEAU (Jean-Jacques). Émile, or Education. Amsterdam [Par - Lot 17
ROUSSEAU (Jean-Jacques). Émile, or Education. Amsterdam [Paris], Jean Néaulme [Duchesne], 1762, 4 vols. in-12, [4]-VIII-[2]-466, [4]-407-1 blank, [6]-381-1 blank, [6]-455-1 blank (there is no false title to the 1st vol. of this edition), 4 frontispieces and 1 engraving in the 1st vol. (p. 380), full contemporary marbled brown calf, richly decorated smooth spine, wine-lees chagrined title-pieces, gold filleted edges, marbled endpapers, red edges. In-12 edition published the same year as the original in octavo format. The question of format provoked heated debate between Rousseau and his publisher Duchesne, the latter wishing to offer for sale an in-12 edition as well as a smaller, more expensive in-8. An important work in Rousseau's thought, in which he addresses the essential antagonism of nature and culture from the perspective of pedagogy. A good copy.
