Erstausgabe
First London edition of Voltaire's masterpiece and best-known work, following soon after the first edition published in Geneva earlier that year, but having the earliest form of the text, typeset from early uncorrected sheets of the Genevan edition prior to Voltaire's revisions for final publication. Seventeen editions dated 1759 are known, all superficially similar, leading to decades of bibliographical argument as to which has priority. In their edition of the novel published in 1980, Giles Barber and Rene Pomeau established the Genevan edition as the first and clarified the status of this London edition. Voltaire's main printers, the Cramer brothers of Geneva, published the first edition in January 1759. This London edition was published by John Nourse around May 1759. However, Voltaire sent to Nourse in London early uncorrected proof sheets of the Geneva edition, before he made corrections. The London edition (and a second London edition which soon followed) was set from this earlier text. It represents the earliest textual printed incarnation of the novel. The earlier form of the text ensured that this edition has formerly been argued to be the true first (see, for example, Ira Wade, "Spacing in the Early Editions of Candide", Aquila, 1974, and his "The First Edition of 'Candide': A Problem in Identification", Princeton University Library Chronicle, 1959, where he calls it a "trial edition"). Provenance: contemporary bookplate on front pastedown of the Fraser family of Achnagairn. The family resided at their Achnagairn estate in Inverness, which they kept despite their role in the Jacobite rebellion of 1745. From 1764 to 1767 James Fraser was Provost of Inverness; other members of the family were merchants in London. ESTC T505489; Barber 299L; Wade 2; Morize 59x. Rene Pomeau and Giles Barber, "Candide", Les oeuvres complètes de Voltaire, vol. 48, 1980. See Nicolas Marlow Rare Books "List 3: The Candide conspiracy" accessible online. Large duodecimo (166 x 94 mm). Contemporary calf, neatly rebacked with original spine laid down, red morocco label, gilt acorn device in compartments, red speckled edges.

8°, circa 15,4 x 10 cm. 259 pp., 2 ff.; 130 pp. Later cardboard with blue decorated paper Bengesco 1443 (with the second part). Rare and early edition of Voltaire s famous satire that was first published in 1759. The sequel that is certainly not by Voltaire came out first in 1761 and has been attributed to Thorel de Campigneulles or more likely to the abbé Dulaurens. 1761 is also the year in which Voltaire made some additions to his original text which can be found in our edition, particularly in the chapter 22 (ce qui leur arriva en France). Although the second part has never seriously been considered as a work of Voltaire it has been reprinted more than a dozen times later on. - Minor browning, very little staining but mostly clean, completely uncut and altogether nice.
