Par-Tout [i.e., Netherlands]: Chez Le Vrai Sage, 1755 First edition. Contemporary mottled calf, gilt spine with brown calf label, edges sprinkled brown. . Octavo. Title-page in black and red.

At first, "The Code of Nature" was attributed to Denis Diderot, but other great authors of the day have also been proposed. "The Code of Nature" constitutes an early example of utopian socialist thought, providing a detailed plan for the… Read More
