Reader's note

A fascinating find... Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Émile ou De l'éducation! These two volumes were published in 1776! These truly are antiques and are in fabulous condition for their age. Written by this famous philosopher in the original French. These books discuss what it is to be a man and the involvement of education. Rosseau defends a humanist education that places individual emancipation before learning a trade. He wrote: “Whether my pupil is destined for the sword, the church, the bar, I don't care. Before the vocation of the parents, nature calls him to human life. Living is the trade I want to teach him. On leaving my hands, he will be, I agree, neither magistrate, nor soldier, nor priest; he will first be a man”. There are marbled endpapers and illustrations which make this book all the more fascinating. These books are to be treasured, add these antiquarian gems to your collection today!
