LALANDE (Jérôme de): Supplémens au Dictionnaire des Athées anciens et modernes, by Jérôme de La lande, followed by Lucrèce Français, poem, by Sylvain M(arécha)L. Paris, Grabit, 1803. One volume. 12 by 20 cm. (4)-120-220 pages. Full period calf, smooth decorated spine, red title piece. Very good condition of the binding. Small stains without gravity on the false title page, some slightly browned leaves in the first part of the book (again, without gravity). A book that LALANDE gave free of charge to all those who presented Sylvain MARECHAL's Dictionary of Atheists to him. The work begins with a note on Marechal, continues with Supplements to the Dictionary of Atheists, then, with a new numbering, proposes a revised, corrected, and considerably increased edition of the work Le Lucrèce Français, by Marechal, here dated the year VI. This work appeared in 1781 for the first time, under the title Fragment d'un poéme philosophique. The author regards the belief of a deity as a destroyer of virtue. According to him, man invented God out of fear and out of frivolity. LALANDE, a convinced atheist and militant, pays homage to Sylvain MARECHAL here. Rare book.
