Hardback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from The Confessions of Jean Jacques Rousseau, Vol. 1 of 2: Now for the First Time Completely Translated Into English Without Expurgation In 1749, the Academy of Dijon offered a prize on the question: Whether the progress of the Arts and Sciences has contributed. More to the deterioration or improvement of Morals? Rousseau supported the first view, obtained the prize, and became famous. M. De Francueil, Madame Dupin's son-in-law, gave him a post in the receiver-gene ral's office, which he resigned. He took up music-copying again, and earned a scanty livelihood. An opera composed by him, Le Devia du Village, was played before Louis XV. At Fontainebleau. In 1753, he wrote a letter on French Music; his next publication was a letter to d'alembert, Sur les Spectacles, an attack on Voltaire, d'alembert, and the theatre generally. He also wrote a discourse upon the Origin of Inequality amongst Mankind. In 1754, he paid a visit to his old love, Madame de Warens, whom he found in very reduced circumstances. He also turned Protestant again, in order to make himself eligible for the freedom of Geneva. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
