[MORELLET (André)]. Theory of paradox. Amsterdam, sn, 1775. In-12, marbled fawn calf, smooth spine decorated, red title page, gilt fillet on the edges, red tr. (period binding). A good copy. First edition of this little treatise which forms in fact a pleasant refutation of the different paradoxes enumerated by Linguet in his Théorie des loix civiles, on the forms of a good government and the maxims of its administration. Bound afterwards, Linguet's reply: Théorie du libelle, ou L'Art de calomnier avec fruit, dialogue philosophique, pour servir de supplément à la Théorie du paradoxe. Amsterdam, sn, 1775, 228 pp.
