Item History & Price
I am offeringtwo copies of this title, this one for the cost-conscious collector and anotherfor a few dollars more in better condition or a first ML edition.
This ModernLibrary book, #164.3 in the series, Pensees and The Provincial Letters was writtenby Blaise Pascal. From the front flap: “The two works upon which Pascal's enduringfame rests are Penseés and TheProvincial Letters. Now, at last, they are made available, as they always should have been, in a single, comp...lete and unabridged volume. One of the world's greatest declarations offaith, Penseés has given sustenance over a period ofthree hundred years to men of inquiring minds who are assailed by doubt.Considered a masterpiece of religious controversy, The Provincial Letters are the product of one of the most unusual scientificintellects of all time applied to the humane purpose of liberalizing religious doctrine.” 620 pages.
The book has a Toledano 8 cover, D or Kentendpapers, and an i jacket. The jacket inverse refers to 377 regulartitles. The copyright page states “COPYRIGH, 1941, BY RANDOM HOUSE, INC”. These pointersindicate a fall 1956 jacket.
The 63-year-old used book has a smooth and eventop stain, strong binding and a small prior owner’s sticker on the front endpaper. Fanning the pages in both directions, I noted no writing or underlining andthere is no unpleasant odor. The clippeddust jacket has light chipping at the spine ends and wear along the flapfolds. See photos.
As of this writing, 11/19/2019, there are seven copies on ABE starting at $10.00.
