Œuvres Complètes de Voltaire – Philosophie, Tomes I & II – Paris, Dupont, 1825

A magnificent and rare set of two antique volumes from the Œuvres Complètes de Voltaire — the Philosophie section, Tomes I and II — published in Paris by P. Dupont, Libraire-Éditeur in 1825. Over 200 years old and in remarkable condition for their age.

These volumes were published during the great Restoration-era wave of Voltaire editions, when his philosophical works were once again freely circulated in France. A genuine piece of French Enlightenment literary heritage.
