TOUSSAINT, François-Vincent] - Les Moeurs. S. l., 1748. 3 parts in one vol. in-12, front, (16) ff, 474 pp, vignette repeated on the titles of each part, contemporary marbled fawn calf, triple gilt thread on covers, ornate ribbed spine. PEIGNOT II, 162. Published in the year of the original edition. This work, which caused quite a stir at the time, was condemned by the Parlement de Paris to be burned by the hand of the executioner. This book is full of haphazard statements on metaphysics and morality; the author spouts some rather peculiar maxims: he destroys the notion of the virtues that are most invariable in their principles. Following this, we have bound the Arrêt du Parlement ''Qui ordonne qu'un livre intitulé les Moeurs (...) sera lacéré et brûlé par l'exécuteur de la Haute-Justice. Du 6 May 1748.'' (2 ff.)
