[LA METTRIE (Julien Offray de). A Treatise on the Soul. [Amsterdam, 1753]. In-12 (14 x 8 cm), 198 p., contemporary marbled and glazed havana calf, smooth spine decorated with gilt fleurons and fillets, garnet morocco title-piece, gilt fillet to the edges, red edges (small tear to the upper cover, negligible rubbing, moderate russetting). Extract, bound separately at the time, from the OEuvres philosophiques published in Amsterdam in 1753, preceded by its false title (there was never a specific title page); this treatise seems never to have been published separately, at least during the author's lifetime. La Mettrie (1709-1751), philosopher, physician and above all Epicurean, is known as the author of a Traité de la volupté, and of l'Art de jouir (1751).
