Rare and interesting gathering of these two works. New edition of the Système de la nature after the rare first edition of 1770, and first edition of Helvetius's work at the same date of 1774 as this new edition of Mirabaud; in reality three editions appeared at the same date, with different collation, without being able to determine if there is a true first edition.
