La logique ou l'art de penser, contenant outre les regles communes, plusieurs observations nouvelles, propres à former le jugement. Sixième édition, revûe & de nouveau augmentée.
Paris: chez Guillaume Desprez, 1730. 12mo. xlviii, 427, [5]p. Contemporary sprinkled calf, spine gilt; marbled endpapers; green silk bookmark. Very slight wear at corners and at head and foot of spine. ***** Logique ou l'art de penser, first published in 1662, was originally intended for the instruction of the young Duc de Chevreuse. It was written by two Jansenists from Port-Royal and is usually known in English as the Logic of Port-Royal (an English translation appeared in 1685 and was several times reprinted). Formal logicians would perhaps not recognize this work as a substantial part of the history of logic; it looks back to the theories of signification that were prominent in the late Middle Ages and seeks to clarify the notions of substance, attribute, mode etc. as these notions were used in the 17th century, by Descartes among others. It is notable for making the distinction between the comprehension of terms - between the ideas that a general term expresses and the things to which it is applied - a distinction which was to assume greater importance in later philosophy of logic. Indeed the Port-Royal logic in its account of what are called 'complex terms' raises considerations which are relevant to 20th-century discussions of what Russell called 'the theory of descriptions.' W. Risse, Bibliographica logica, vol.1, p.195.

Andronic, tragédie.
[France: late 17th/early 18th century] 12mo. Paginated: [2],161-234p. Quires signed G8-12, HI-12, K1-9. Limp parchment covers; manuscript spine title. Half-title only - with small marginal tear (repaired). Part of a collected edition, late 17th or early 18th century. **** Andronic was derived from Saint-Réal's account of Philip II, his wife, and her stepson. Perhaps because he did not wish to portray an ancestor of Louis XIV in an unfavourable light, Campistron disguised his subject by setting the scene at Constantinople in the time of John V Paleologus. The play has all the hallmarks of tragedy - a young hero resisting his passion for his stepmother, a suspicious, lonely and vengeful Emperor, a pathetic consort obliged to sacrifice her love to interests of state, and two courtiers who put their mutual enmity aside in order to plot for their common advantage. Andronic has been considered Campistron's finest play, one that had been acted 242 times between 1685 when it was first published and 1765.

Oeuvres choisies. Édition stéréotype, d'après le procédé de Firmin Didot.
Paris: De l'Imprimerie et de la Fonderie Stéréotypes de P. Didot l'ainé, et de Firmin Didot, 1810. 18mo. xiv, 198, [2]p. Red cloth, leather-backed. Small dent in rear cover, otherwise in very good condition. Between 1683 and 1709 Campistron turned out 9 tragedies, 2 comedies and, in collaboration with Lully, 3 'tragédies en musique'. To a certain extent Campistron was an imitator of Corneille and Racine, but not so much as to accuse him of lack of originality. Some of his tragedies are heroic and patriotic; others pyschological and pathetic. The conflict of generations and the fatal destructiveness of incestuous love are recurrent themes.

VG condition. **** La Chaussée (1692-1754) was the originator in France of sentimental comedy, comédie larmoyante as it was nicknamed by his opponents, in which the pathetic element, drawn from the realistic representation of the sufferings of everyday domestic life, outweighs or entirely obliterates the comic.

Les mémoires de Philippe de Commines chevalier seigneur d'Argenton. Sur les principaux faicts & gestes de Loys XI. & Charles VIII ... Le tout reveu & corrigé sur l'édition de Denis Sauvage.
Paris: la vefue Claude de Monstr'oeil, 1616. 8vo. [2], 750, [16]p. Slight marginal worming in quires Mm-Tt, not affecting text. 18th-century calf, worn at joints, edges and corners; spine gilt. Armorial bookplate of George Baird, Stichill, on front pastedown; an earlier armorial bookplate of a member of the Baird family (partially removed) on verso of title-page. Inscription "Will: Baird 1729" on free front endpaper. Early 18th-century notes in a neat hand in English (by William Baird?) relating to the text on rear free endpaper and very occasional marginalia also in his hand. A 19th-century list in pencil of 21 garden plants also on rear free endpaper. **** These Mémoires, composed at the end of the 15th century, were intended for the instruction of princes and statesmen. A man of lucid intelligence, deeply interested in the art and science politics, Comines found in Louis XI of France a kindred spirit. He shows himself a statesman of almost modern quality, with a poor opinion of the old feudal chivalry and a view of war as a great evil. He believes there should be no taxation without the consent of the taxpayers, and that the power of a monarch depends, not on the degree of his despotic power, but on the affection of his subjects. This edition is the work of Henri II's historiographer, Denis Sauvage, whose prolific output included editions of the chronicles of Froissart, Gilles, Monstrelet and La Marche, and translations of Plutarch, Gelli, Giovio, Collenuccio and Leo Hebraeus.
