Summary

Du Contrat Social: ou Principes du Droit Politique Title page of the genuine first octavo edition (first state with standing Justice) of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Social Contract 1762. See R.A. Leigh, Unsolved Problems in the Bibliography of J.-J. Rousseau, Cambridge, 1990, plate 1. From http://www.scielosp.org/scielo.php?pid=S0042-96862006001100020&script=sci_arttext. This replaces an image of a pirated edition printed the same year probably in Germany. See Leigh, plate 22. I moved the pirated edition image to File:Rousseau pirated edition.jpg.
