A few practical answers before choosing a copy.
Bibliographic source: Open LibraryThe Social Contract is by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The catalogue records its first publication in 1762. A later edition may have a different publication date on its copyright page.
The catalogue records 249 pages for a representative edition. Pagination varies with the publisher, format, type size and translation, so check the edition you intend to read.
Compare the publisher, publication date, language, format and ISBN in the editions section. If you need a particular translation or a matching book-club copy, confirm those details with the seller. A work-level page brings different editions together; its first-publication year does not identify your individual copy.
