VOLTAIRE SABATIER DE CASTRES (abbé) : Tableau... Lot 21

VOLTAIRE [SABATIER DE CASTRES (abbé)] : Tableau philosophique de l'esprit de M. de Voltaire, pour servir de suite à ses Ouvrages, & de Mémoires à l'histoire de sa Vie. Geneva, Chez les Frères Crammer, 1771; in 8°, XII, 380 pp. half blond calf, spine decorated with faux-nerves, coral calf title-piece. Binding of the period. Nice copy of this rare first edition. The author takes pleasure in listing all the authors against whom Voltaire, with his legendary benevolence, was relentless, such as Vauvenargues, Rousseau, Fréron, l'abbé Nonotte, Maupertuis, etc... On the last page, Sabatier de Castres concludes his work with this remarkable sentence : " Here the Author stops, waiting for the fury of M. de Voltaire to provide him with enough material to form another volume ".
