STAËL, Anne-Louise-Germaine Necker, baronne de (1766-1817)
De l'influence des passions sur le bonheur des individus et des nations. Lausanne : Jean Mourer, Hignou et Compagnie, 1796.
Édition originale de ce traité préfigurant l'état d'âme romantique. Malgré l'annonce faite au titre, l'ouvrage ne traite pas du bonheur des nations mais se concentre sur le bonheur de l'individu, détaillant notamment l'association entre le sentiment amoureux et la mort : "Il y a une conviction intime au dedans de soi que tout ce qui succède à l'amour est du néant... ; et cette conviction fait penser à la mort dans les plus heureux moments de l'Amour." Escoffier, n° 80 ; Lonchamp, n° 2776.

"Il m'en a coûté de prononcer qu'aimer avec passion n'était pas le vrai bonheur."

In-8 (198 x 129 mm). Exemplaire avec les six cartons insérés par l'autrice pour améliorer le style de certains passages, complet du feuillet d'errata. Reliure de l'époque : basane racinée, dos lisse orné de quadrillage, filets et petits fers dorés, pièce de titre en maroquin rouge, tranches jaunes.
Provenance : Premorel-Higgons (ex-libris).

First edition of this treatise foreshadowing the romantic state of mind.
