2 parties en 1 volume in-12 de (2)-XVI-264 pp. ; (2)-286 pp., veau blond glacé, dos orné à nerfs, pièce de titre en maroquin rouge, tranches rouges (reliure de l'époque). Édition originale fort rare.Fable où l'imagination populaire se mêle aux récits de voyage : le Monde de Mercure nous est révélé par un manuscrit arabe que traduit le narrateur, fruit des observations faites au « microscope philosophique », téléscope inventé par un Rosecroix. Les hommes peuvent échapper à la mort, à l'âge, au sommeil, règlent eux-mêmes leur circulation de sang, tandis que les animaux domestiques sont chargés des travaux et que la nature fournit elle-même les subsistances des habitants.« Le Chevalier de Béthune peuple la planète Mercure de chérubins libertins qui communiquent avec les animaux, jouent à des loteries magiques et ont des contrats de mariage courts et renouvelables. Cependant, derrière cette façade désinvolte, il y a beaucoup à apprendre du modèle mercurien. En plaçant son utopie hors du monde, Béthune échappe aux contraintes des préjugés culturels pour imaginer une société politiquement, technologiquement et moralement avancée. Les Mercuriens doivent d'abord leur bonheur à la nature de leur monde, qui leur permet d'embrasser les dons inestimables de variété et de changement de l'univers infini; et deuxièmement, à leur souverain, le Roi Soleil. Il ne s'agit pas du roi Louis XIV de la Terre, mais d'un être qui descend littéralement du soleil pour protéger son droit à la poursuite du plaisir. Cet essai s'interrogera sur certaines des façons dont l'utopie frivole de Béthune, comme celles de Lucien de Samosate, François Rabelais et Savinien de Cyrano de Bergerac avant elle, allie ludique et utilité en décrivant un « monde meilleur » basé sur deux critères. : l'acceptation d'une variété infinie comme essentielle au bonheur humain, et un ordre social qui favorise et tempère à la fois la recherche du plaisir » (Erika Mandarino). La Constitution de Mercure imaginée par le chevalier de Béthune, modèle de libéralisme, prépare les systèmes de Rousseau et Fourier.Frontispice gravé, vignette au tome I répétée au tome II, non signés. L'ouvrage fut réédité dans le tome XVI des Voyages imaginaires en 1787. Bel exemplaire.Fortunati-Trousson, Dictionary of literary utopias, p. 522 ; Versins, p. 111 ; Hartig et Soboul, p. 51.
