ROUSSEAU JEAN-JACQUES: (1712-1778) French Writer and Philosopher. An interesting autograph manuscript, one page, 4to, n.p., n.d. [1745-48], in French. Rousseau writes a short text, being related to the history of women, stating `W[omen]´s veil is one of the oldest customs of which the stories speak, but it is difficult to know if this is because of modesty, because of vain glory or because of pride that w[omen] wore it, or because of husband´s jealousy.´ Also annotated to the left border by Rousseau `Chardin - T[ome].4 - p.[age] 155 - ed[ition].1711´, referring to a work by Jean Chardin, entitled Voyage en Perse (''Travel to Persia''). Small overall minor age wear, with left and bottom edges irregularly trimmed and creasing to the bottom right corner. G £600-900 The present text corresponds to Rousseau´s work about the history of women, written between 1745 and 1751 for his benefactress Mrs Louise Marie Madeleine Dupin, and which would never be published.
