[HELVETIUS ?]. The true sense of the system of nature, Londo - Lot 259
[HELVETIUS ?]. The true sense of the system of nature, London, s.n., 1774. In-8 of [4], III, 151 p. Half burgundy calf, spine decorated, brown morocco title-piece (modern pastiche binding). A fine copy with large margins. First edition. The work is an exegesis and an examination of the Système de la nature of the baron d'Holbach. The author seems to have condensed the matter in the form of maxims and assertions, the whole resting on a strong materialist creed. It is now known that the work may not be by Helvetius, although his philosophy is recognized. Provenance: Bookplate "R. J. Dugard" stenciled on the title page. Smith, Biblio. of Helvetius, p. 357: A 4A.
