Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. X, 11-64, Viii, 9-51, 32, 38, (I), 30. Several Items 1765 And 1766 Bound In One, Full Patterned Calf, Spine Elaborately Gilt. Worldcat Shows Only Four Institutional Holdings, One In France, Of The Calas Title, 64 Pp. Wear,Clean, No Marks, Fraying At Corners. Jean Calas (1698 - 10 March 1762) Was A Merchant Living In Toulouse, Languedoc, France, Who Was Tried, Judicially Tortured, And Executed For The Murder Of His Son, Despite His Protestations Of Innocence. Calas Was A Protestant In An Officially Catholic Society. Calas, Along With His Wife, Was A Protestant. France Was Then A Catholic Country; Catholicism Was The State Religion, With No Legal Right For Individuals To Practice Different Faiths. While The Harsh Oppression Of Protestantism Initiated By King Louis Xiv Had Largely Receded, Protestants Were, At Best, Tolerated. Louis, One Of Calas's Sons, Converted To Catholicism In 1756. On 13-14 October 1761, Another Of The Calas Sons, Marc-Antoine, Was Found Dead On The Ground Floor Of The Family's Home. Rumors Had It That Jean Calas Had Killed His Son Because He Intended To Convert To Catholicism. When Interrogated, The Family Initially Claimed That Marc-Antoine Had Been Killed By A Murderer. Then They Declared That They Had Found Marc-Antoine Dead, Hanged; Because Suicide Was Considered A Heinous Crime Against God, And Since The Dead Bodies Of Suicides Were Defiled, They Had Arranged For Their Son's Suicide To Look Like A Murder. Despite Jean Calas's Claiming That His Son Died By Suicide, And The Testimony Of Jeanne Viguière, Calas's Catholic Governess, The Parlement (Regional Court) Of Toulouse Held That Jean Calas Had Murdered His Son. And On 9 March 1762, The Court Sentenced Him To Death By Torture. The Government Stretched His Arms And Legs Until They Were Pulled Out Of Their Sockets. Seventeen Litres (36 Us Pints) Of Water Was Poured Down His Throat. He Was Tied To A Cross In The Cathedral Square, On Which Each Of His Limbs Was Broken Twice By An Iron Bar. Yet Even Under This Torture, Calas Continued To Declare His Innocence. French Philosopher Voltaire Was Contacted About The Case, And After Initial Suspicions That Calas Was Guilty Of Anti-Catholic Fanaticism Were Dispelled By His Investigations, He Began A Campaign To Get Calas's Sentence Overturned, Claiming That Marc-Antoine Had Committed Suicide Because Of Gambling Debts And Not Being Able To Finish His University Studies Due To His Denomination.Voltaire's Efforts Were Successful, And King Louis Xv Received The Family And Had The Sentence Annulled In 1764. The King Fired The Chief Magistrate Of Toulouse, The Capitoul, The Trial Was Done Over, And In 1765 Jean Calas Posthumously Was Exonerated On A "Vice De Procédure", Not On The Original Charges, With The Family Paid 36,000 Livres By The King In Compensation.[2] Voltaire, An Outspoken Critic Of The Catholic Church, Cited The Instance As An Example Of The Church's Severity In His 1763 Work Treatise On Tolerance.

Prima edizione stampata in Inghilterra, di questa interessante raccolta di corrispondenza dell'armata napoleonica in Egitto. All'epoca dell'occupazione francese dell'Egitto, dopo la vittoria di Nelson ad Aboukir, la superiorità marittima inglese nel Mediterraneo permise di intercettare la maggior parte delle navi spedite in Francia dall'esercito di Bonaparte. In questo mondo gli inglesi entrarono in possesso di una grande quantità della corrispondenza che i soldati francesi spedivano verso il continente. In essa era raccontata la vita dei soldati, i territori visitati e le battaglie intraprese me più di qualsiasi altra cosa, la Cancelleria britannica era interessata alla descrizione che i soldati facevano delle loro reali situazioni di vita. Gli inglesi non esitarono a pubblicare parte di queste lettere, al fine di dimostrare le sofferenze che doveva sopportare e lo stato spesso miserabile in cui si trovava il soldato francese. "In generale," dice La Jonquiere dopo aver esaminato la questione, "possiamo ammettere l'autenticità delle lettere così pubblicate. " Le edizioni inglesi, non riportano il nome di nessun autore, commentatore o raccoglitore ma la prima edizione francese portava un'introduzione del noto medico e bibliotecario francese, Édouard-Thomas Simon (Troyes 16 ottobre 1740 - 4 aprile 1818 Besançon). Simon lavorò a Troyes come medico per più di vent'anni prima di arrivare a Parigi nel 1786. All'inizio della Rivoluzione la sua fama era notevole tanto da venir, da subito, nominato membro del Consiglio d'igiene della capitale francese. Divise la sua vita tra gli studi medici e quelli letterari. Oltre alle lettere dei soldati comuni, il volume contiene varia corrispondenza, dispacci e rapporti di diversi alti personaggi dell'esercito francesi quali lo stesso Bonaparte ma anche Menou, Kleber, i Generale Berthier, Desaix, Lagrange, etc. Questa edizione londinese è una delle più estese fra le varie che uscirono. Ogni edizione contiene un numero diverso di lettere. Esemplare in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione. Non comune.…
