A Londres, chez Samuel Harding 1742. In-12 relié pleine toile bleue, dos lisse titre doré, et date en queue. 1 feuillet blanc, page de titre gravée, XVI + 125 pages, 3 feuillets (avertissement de l'éditeur), faux-titre (L'optique des murs opposée à l'optique des couleurs) et jusqu'à la fin, page 205, 2 feuillets blancs. Une signature sur la page de titre. Deslande est né à Pondichéry ou à Bandel en 1689, mort à Paris en 1757. Il est également l'auteur de "L'art de ne point s'ennuyer" et "Réflexions sur les grands hommes qui sont morts en plaisantant". Ce roman philosophique reprend à son compte la légende grecque du sculpteur Pymalion, tombant amoureux de l'une de ses propres statues. Des études récentes attribuent à cet ouvrage rare, qui fut condamné au feu dès 1742 (à Dijon) en raison de son caractère libertin, une place significative parmi la littérature matérialiste de son époque. Ce conte philosophique reprend la thèse spinoziste selon laquelle Dieu se confond avec la Nature et l'hypothèse empiriste de la matière pensante. ". Nous en nommerions l'auteur avec plaisir, & nous lui donnerions encore plus volontiers les éloges qu'il mérite ; mais sa modestie ne nous le pardonnerait pas. Il nous est seulement permis de le désigner sous l'idée générale de savant Homme, aussi bien que l'auteur de Pigmalion, qui, en ne nous laissant pas plus de liberté, s'est pareillement envié les justes louanges qui lui sont dues. Si le lecteur souhaite en savoir davantage, il faut qu'il employe sa curieuse sagacité pour découvrir ce que nous sommes contraint de lui cacher : c'est la seule voye qu'il puisse prendre pour se satisfair." (Avertissement de l'éditeur). Quoique dans une reliure moderne, bel exemplaire, grand de marge pour cet ouvrage rare.

Scarce. 'Sulaiman's works had a profound effect on many Arabic and Persian geographers and are of exceptional importance for the study of early Islamic trade. Sulaiman, an Andalusian Jew, probably based at Basra, made several voyages to China before 851. He visited the Maldives, Andaman Islands, Sri Lanka, Malacca, Saigon, Hainan, and Canton. Sulaiman's accounts were corroborated by the geographer Abu said Hasan of Siraf. They are also a source book for the settings of the tales of Sindbad' (Howgego). Renaudot's translation was first published in French in 1718. It is not known who translated the work into English. Cordier (Sinica), 1924; Howgego S20; Lust 299; Morrison I, 264.

First English edition of the famous travel report given by the Arab merchant Suleiman al-Tajir, who had visited China and India in the 9th century. His book is the oldest Arabic account of China, written more than 400 years before Marco Polo. This is augmented by the "Silsilat al-Tawarikh" of Abu Zayd al-Hasan al-Shirafi, written in the early 10th century and based on the account of Ibn Wahb al-Basri, who had visited China shortly after Suleiman.Translated from the French version by Renaudot. According to Renaudot, the account of events such as the great revolution which swept across China during their second voyage confirms that the journeys were undertaken four centuries prior to Marco Polo. Their travels took place in 851 CE and 877 CE, respectively. The text gives a lively account of life in China and India, with "the first foreign descriptions of tea and porcelain, and a whole panorama of Chinese society, from the Son of Heaven and Confucian ethics down to toilet paper and bamboo urinals" (Mackintosh-Smith). Later Arabic geographers such as Ibn Khordadhbe and al-Mas'udi relied heavily on this work for their information on India and China. "Ces relations sont de la plus haute importance pour la connaissance de l'Inde et de la Chine au moyen-age" (NBG).The book includes stories about the Indian Ocean and its fish species, the cities around the Arabian Gulf, whales and other large man eating fish, the religions of China and India. Other sections discuss commercial routes and the most important products of India, Srinadeb, Java, and China, as well as the presence of Muslims in China in the third and fourth centuries.With the bookplate of "Will[ia]m Markham Esq[ui]r[e] Becca Lodge, Yorkshire" on the front paste-down, covering another bookplate.
