A later companion issue extending Johann Heinrich Samuel Formey’s influential project of Protestant moral philosophy. Printed at Lausanne in 1765, these volumes continue the effort to reconcile faith, reason, and practical ethics for a broad Francophone readership during the high Enlightenment.
As with earlier parts of the work, the books bear clear signs of long institutional custody. Shelf labels remain to the spines and there are library stamps within, indicating preservation in organised collections where survival rates have typically been stronger than in private ownership.
A solid, honest eighteenth-century survival — attractive on the shelf and still entirely serviceable for study.
Formey remained an important mediator of Protestant Enlightenment thought across Europe. The continuation volumes demonstrate how widely the original project circulated and how demand persisted beyond the initial publication. Such extensions are frequently harder to assemble than the primary issue and are increasingly encountered broken.
