HUZAR (Eugène) - The Tree of Knowledge. Paris, E. Dentu, April 1857. 8vo, gray half-calf with corner piece, decorated ribbed spine (contemporary binding). Annotated endpapers and text. A few foxing spots. First edition. A curious text, a precursor to the concept of climate change, predicting the end of the world through progress and science, and denouncing industry and modern societies overrun by technology. To avert the apocalypse, Huzar advocates for global balance and a world government ruled by scientists.
