Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. First English Translation. Two volume set, each with brown cloth to boards with brown leather at spine and corners of boards. Gilt line decoration to front and rear boards. Gilt lettering on red and green labels withing raised bands on the spine. Top of page edges are gilt, which is faded with age. The delightful bindings are relatively new and certainly not contemporary with the volumes themselves. Previous owner's book plates in side front covers of both volumes. The volumes are undated but the printing uses the 'long s' (similar to a non-crossed f). Later editions of the volumes, also published by Thorn of Exeter are dated as being of around 1785, suggesting that these volumes are an earlier publication, possibly a first English translation of Bartholemy's 1779 work. The contents of the books are clean and tidy throughout, with the exception of a single horizontal closed tear at page 73/74 of Volume I. The tear runs from the fore-edge of the page to the hinge. A previous owner has attempted to repair the tear using sellotape, or similar, which has come away, leaving the usual brown stain to the paper. This has now been stabalised using pH Neutral repair tape.The damage only interferes with the text in a minor way, and is fully legible. Apart from this, the volumes are in excellent condition. A very scarce and early English translation of this major work by the noted French Jesuit priest and spiritual writer. 310 pages and 299 pages.

Contemporary lightly diced russia, sides with roll tool border of floral sprays gilt, spines gilt in six compartments, inner dentelles gilt, marbled endpapers. One large folding map hand-coloured in outline and 18 folding maps and plans (some hand-coloured in outline); 8 single page plates and 3 double-page plates showing two or more subjects. Some offsetting of the plates, spines lightly faded, generally a very clean, handsome set. A tall well-margined set. Large paper(?). A very uncommon edition of this famous work first published in 1788. "It is difficult to overestimate the importance of Anacharsis in the development of French neo-classicism and in the creation of philhellenic sentiment. Though there had been earlier attempts to popularize and disseminate what was known of Greek antiquity, none had been as influential and successful in 'educating Europe to an appreciation of the life and "sensibility" of the ancient Greek' (Spenser). Barthelemy was keeper of the French national numismatic collections. He worked for 30 years on his chef-d'oeuvre, which achieved an immediate and international success.Barthhelemy's work has been reprinted many times in all formats" (Blackmer). (Cf. Blackmer 83 - first edition).

Géographe, cartographe, Jean-Denis Barbié, dit Barbié du Bocage (1760-1825), qui consacra l'essentiel de ses travaux à la cartographie de l'Antiquité, parvient à faire bénéficier l'édition de 1799 de notables améliorations issues des avancées faites depuis la première édition de 1788. 7 vues sont accompagnées de leur eau-forte. La plupart des cartes sont coloriées. L'ensemble est accompagné de 56 pages d'analyses des cartes et d'une page de description des médailles.

A rare unique and complete issue of this 'ultra-royalist' periodical, of which Chateaubriand was the leader. Faced with the success of the liberal newspaper La Minerve, the royalist party did not want to remain unarmed and its members therefore decided to create a newspaper which they called Le Conservateur. This is a set complete of everything that was published of this ultra-royalist periodical directed by Chateaubriand and a few friends linked to the monarchical cause. A total of 78 issues printed from October 1818 to march 1820. The motto of this journal is printed in the foreword of each title page: 'Le Roi, la Charte et les Honnêtes Gens' (The King, the Charter and the Honest People). Between October 1818 and March 1820, this organization gathered the best plums of the ultras party: the Cardinal de la Luzerne, the Abbé de Lamennais, the Duc de Fitz-James, the Marquis d'Herbouville, the Comte de Salaberry, the Viscounts de Bonald and de Castelbajac, Genoude, Berryer fils, and others, The authors mainly denounced the policies of the government of Armand Emmanuel du Plessis de Richelieu and then that of Elie Decazes, who were accused of defending revolutionary interests that jeopardized the Charter of 1814. In his Mémoires d'Outre-tombe, Chateaubriand considers that the "revolution operated by this journal was unusual: in France, it changed the majority in the Houses; abroad, it transformed the spirit of the cabinets". It met with great success not only in the press but also in public opinion, since it had a notable impact on the public. The paper had a print run of three thousand copies for the first few issues, then fluctuated between seven thousand and eight thousand five hundred from November 1818 onwards. It ceased publication when censorship was reinstated in February 1820 following the assassination of the Duc de Berry. This resolution was announced to subscribers in a letter from Chateaubriand at the end of the 78th and last issue. "To sum up, it is in this justly famous collection, a hotbed of all the regrets, resentments and exaggerations of the ultras, that we must above all look for royalist politics during the eighteen months it lasted. When it was dissolved, some of its editors, led by Lamennais, founded Le Défenseur, a religious, political and literary journal. 1 March 1820-11 Oct. 1821. 6 vol. 8vo. This new paper became the ardent, passionate and, so to speak, official champion of Lamennais' philosophy. Its contributors included Messrs de Bonald, Saint-Victor, Genoude, Cardinal de la Luzerne, Lamartine, etc.' (Hatin, Bibliographie historique et critique de la presse périodique française etc., pp. 338-340). "As for us, we fear nothing. Our principles are those of religion, order and justice: sooner or later we will triumph with these principles. Truth will always topple the edifice of error and lies. Wherever paganism had placed its false gods, heaven sent a destroyer; every pagan temple saw an armed Barbarian at its gates. Providence did not stop the torch and the lever until the unfaithful race had been changed: then a cross was raised on the monuments, and all was said." (Chateaubriand, extract from Le Conservateur). A fine copy in contemporary binding.
