PROUDHON (Pierre-Joseph). De la justice dans la révolution et dans l'Église. New principles of practical philosophy. Paris, Librairie Garnier frères, 1858. 3 volumes in-12, black half-chagrin, spine decorated with cold filets, speckled edges (period binding).
First edition of this book directed against the Church and addressed to all members of the French clergy: L'ouvrage qu'on va lire ayant pour but de reconnaître la réalité et l'intensité du mal, d'en assigner la cause, d'en découvrir le remède, par-dessus tout de démontrer [...] la non-valeur du ministère ecclésiastique (prologue).
A few days after publication, the work was seized and destroyed, forcing Proudhon into exile in Belgium to escape imprisonment.
Binding rubbed, three headpieces nicked and slightly missing.
