About the Book

Extrait: Préambule Voici l'édition in-quarto de Paul et Virginie que j'ai proposée par souscription. Elle a été imprimée chez P. Didot l'aîné, sur papier vélin d'Essonnes. Je l'ai enrichie de six planches dessinées et gravées par les plus grands maîtres, et j'y ai mis en tête mon portrait, que mes amis me demandaient depuis longtemps. Il y a au moins deux ans que j'ai annoncé cette souscription. Si plusieurs raisons m'avaient décidé à l'entreprendre, un plus grand nombre m'aurait obligé à y renoncer. Mais j'ai regardé comme le premier de mes devoirs de remplir mes engagements avec mes souscripteurs. Sous ce rapport, l'histoire de mon édition ne pourrait intéresser qu'un petit nombre de personnes: cependant, comme elle me donnera lieu de faire quelques réflexions utiles aux gens de lettres sans expérience, en les éclairant de celle que j'ai acquise, sur les contrefaçons, les souscriptions, les journaux, et les artistes, j'ai lieu de croire qu'elle ne sera indifférente à aucun lecteur.....
About the Author: Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, né le 19 janvier 1737 au Havre, de Nicolas Saint-Pierre et Catherine Godebout, et mort le 21 janvier 1814 à Éragny, est un écrivain et botaniste français. Années de formation Montrant dès l'enfance un esprit à la fois rêveur et aventureux, goûtant les charmes de la nature, désireux de l'inconnu, Bernardin de Saint-Pierre est d'un caractère inquiet, irritable, facilement rebuté par les difficultés et les devoirs. Après avoir appris chez un curé, à Caen, les éléments des langues anciennes, il lit avidement Robinson Crusoé, alors qu'il n'avait pas 12 ans, que lui a donné sa marraine Bernardine de Bayard ayant comme ancêtre Bayard, et demande à voyager sur la mer. Un de ses oncles, capitaine de navire, qui va à la Martinique, le prend à son bord; les fatigues de la navigation et le service des manoeuvres auquel on l'astreint font bientôt tomber ses illusions. Ramené au Havre et dégoûté de la vie maritime, il est mis au collège des Jésuites de Caen. Il s'y exalte à la pensée d'aller au loin convertir les peuples barbares; son père calme cet enthousiasme en le renvoyant faire sa philosophie au collège de Rouen. Il entre ensuite à l'École nationale des ponts et chaussées, d'où il passe dans le corps de jeunes ingénieurs que le ministre de la guerre a établi à Versailles.
