Product Description
Julien Offray de La Mettrie (1709-51), author of Man a Machine (1747), was the most uncompromising of the materialists of the eighteenth century, and the provocative title of his work ensured it a succès de scandale in his own time. This fully annotated edition presents a new English translation of the text together with the most important of La Mettrie's other philosophical works, translated into English for the first time. Ann Thomson's introduction examines his aims and the scandalous moral consequences which he drew from his materialism. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Boy has Society Come a Long Way.
This was a very interesting read.La Mettrie spends the course of two essays describing what for the most part may well be common knowledge now.What amazed me is that this was a banned book at one time and that he originally published it anonymously for fear of repercussions.Boy has society come a long way. ...

Product Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
Medical theory and practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the extensive collection, which includes descriptions of diseases, their conditions, and treatments. Books on science and technology, agriculture, military technology, natural philosophy, even cookbooks, are all contained here.

PREFACE. E French text presented m this volume is taken from that of a Leyden edition of 1748, in other words, from that of an edition published in the year and in the place of issue of the first edition. The title page of this edition is reproduced in the present volume. The original was evidently the work of a Dutch compositor unschooled in the French language, and is full of imperfections, inconsistencies, and grammatical blun ders By the direction of the publishers these obviously typo graphical blunders have been corrected by M. Lucien Arreat of Paris, The translation is the work of several hands It is founded on a version made by Miss Gertrude C Bussey from the French text in the edition of J. Assezat and has been revised by Professor M. W, Calkins who is responsible for it in its present form. Mademoiselle M. Garret, of the Wellesley Col lege department of French, and Professor George Santayana, of Harvard University, have given valued assistance and this opportunity is taken to acknowledge their kindness in solving the problems of interpretation which have been submitted to them It should be added that the translation sometimes sub ordinates the claims of English structure and style in the effort to render La Mettnes meaning exactly. The paragraphing of the French is usually followed, but the italics and the capitals are not reproduced. The page-headings of the translation re fer back to the pages of the French text and a few words in serted by the translators are enclosed in brackets. The philosophical and historical Notes are condensed and adapted from a masters thesis on La Mettne presented by Miss Bussey to the faculty of Wellesley College. FREDERIC THE GREATS EULOGY ON JULIEN OFFRAY DE LA METTRIE. FREDERIC THE GREATS EULOGY ON JULIEN OFFRAY DE LA METTRIE. TULIEN Offray de la Mettrie was born in Saint J Malo, on the twenty-fifth of December, 1709, to Julien Offray de la Mettrie and Marie Gaudron, who were living by a trade large enough to provide a good education for their son. They sent him to the college of Coutance to study the humanities he went from there to Paris, to the college of Plessis he studied his rhetoric at Caen, and since he had much genius and imagination, he won all the prizes for eloquence. He was a born orator, and was pas sionately fond of poetry and belles-lettres, but his father thought that he would earn more as an ec clesiastic than as a poet, and destined him for the church. He sent him, the following year, to the college of Plessis where he studied logic under M. Cordier, who was more a Jansenist than a logician. It is characteristic of an ardent imagination to seize forcefully the objects presented to it, as it is characteristic of youth to be prejudiced in favor of the first opinions that are inculcated. Any other scholar would have adopted the opinions of his teacher but that was not enough for young La Mettrie he became a Jansenist, and wrote a work which had great vogue in that party. 4 MAN A MACHINE. In 1725, he studied natural philosophy at the college of Harcourt, and made great progress there. On his return to Brittany, M... ... Read more
