first edition.
Binding in full speckled brown calf. Ornate nerved back. title label in red morocco. 2 slightly blunt corners. Beautiful copy.
3 treatises present in the collection all concern a reflection on the honest man. The fourth is called World Trade. If Faret had already treated the qualities of the honest man, it is the knight of Méré, by his three treatises published after his death, who will be the true theorist basing his principles on a philosophy of life in society, combining the qualities of the heart in taste, culture and spirit.



It was about honesty that Méré and Pascal became friends with for a long time. Pascal was later to remain faithful to a certain practice of honesty, and surotut to reflect on the subtleties and the delicacy of spirit which it supposed. Méré is the inspiration for several "thoughts".
