Émile, ou De l'éducation
Jean-Jacques Rousseau · Nicolas-Bonaventure Duchesne, Paris — issued under false Néaulme imprints ('A Amsterdam, Chez Jean Neaulme' on the duodecimo; 'A La Haye, Chez Jean Néaulme' on the octavo) · 1762
A French original-language first; there is no competing true first in another language. The census note requires correction on one point: no 1762 issue carries a Paris imprint. Both collected Duchesne formats bear false Néaulme imprints — Amsterdam on the duodecimo, The Hague on the octavo — and both are collected as the first edition. Separately, under an agreement of November 1761 with Duchesne, Jean Néaulme produced a genuine parallel Amsterdam edition for distribution outside France; scholarship treats it as a distinct edition (Quaerendo 48:2, 2018, on the imprint formula 'Selon la Copie de Paris. Avec Permission tacite pour le Libraire') and it should not be conflated with the Duchesne printings.
