Rousseau J.J. (1712-1778). Second partie des Confessions de J.J. Rousseau. A Genève, 1789.

The edition published the same year as the original. The first two volumes are probably copies of the counterfeit edition published in 1782 by the Société typographique de Genève as a supplement to the Oeuvres posthumes (Leigh, p. 136, mentions 650 copies). They contain the first six books of Confessions et les Rêveries du promeneur solitaire. The last two volumes, containing the conclusion of The Confessions, are part of the edition mentioned by Tchemerzine, which is almost identical to the original but can be distinguished by two notes at the end of each volume.

4 volumes.  8° (8,35x5,28in), (8,54x5,47in).

Private collection
