ABBADIE (JACQUES): L'Art de se Connoitre [sic] Soi-Meme. Ou la Recherche des Sources de la Morale.
A la Haye, Chez Jean Neaulme, 1743. 8vo, pp, [ii], 454, title-page in red and black, contemporary sheepskin, spine ornately gilt in compartments, morocco label; one panel of spine defective, top and base of spine chipped, joints rubbed, corners worn. The French Protestant theologian Jacques Abbadie (1657 - 1727) published this work in 1692, and it was frequently reprinted. It was translated into English in 1695. Abbadie espoused a system of enlightened self-interest, in which the good attracted our love, evil, our aversion. He was perhaps unusual is his time for endorsing a moral system that promoted secular happiness.
