BERGIER (Abbé Nicolas-Sylvestre): Examen du Matérialisme: ou Réfutation du Système de la Nature. Paris, Humblot, 1771; two volumes in 12, full green morocco, highly ornate ribbed spines, red morocco title-pieces, triple gilt fillet on covers, gilt edges. Contemporary binding. A fine copy of this important refutation of d'Holbach's theories on nature. Abbé Bergier was a resolute opponent of the philosophers (a few handwritten marginal remarks have been cut out, without altering the printed text).
