A fine copy of this second edition, published the year after the first. The philosopher’s last work to be published during his lifetime. As part of a joint edition with other booksellers, this Guinard edition is the rarest (only three copies in the CCFr). In a fine, elegant binding by Thierry, the successor to Petit-Simier.
