18109Philadelphie, (Paris, Barrois l'ainé), 1782. 2 volumes in 1. viii, (2), 148 pp.; 268 pp. 8vo. Modern half red morocco, marbled boards, spine gilt in compartments, gilt lettering. Schelle, p. 24; Kress B.459; Goldsmiths 12250; INED 1610; not in Einaudi. First edition, with the additional errata-leaf. Very rare. Described by Gustave Schelle as the best documentation of Turgot's financial statesmanship during the first years of Louis XVI.The first part treats the youth of Turgot, his successful administration as intendant for the generality of Limoges where he earned great popularity by his abolishment of the 'corvees' and the introduction of a great deal of other reforms, and his administration as secretary of state for the navy, a position he held for five weeks only but of particular interest for his enlightened views on colonial policy. The second and larger part treats Turgot's administration as controller-general and minister of finance from August 1774 until May 1776. It contains a striking account of the numerous reforms introduced by him: the abolishment of abuses, privileges and crushing taxes, the purification of the financial administration, the abolishment of many limitations on trade and labour, etc. - Fine complete copy, printed on heavy paper with generous margins.

In-8, cartonnage ocre à la bradel, pièce de titre de veau brun, tranches jaspées (rel. moderne Devauchelle), (8), 412, (2) p. Edition originale, et unique, de cet essai que L.-A. Say consacre à l'analyse critique des œuvres économiques de ses contemporains: Dupont de Nemours, Adam Smith, Canard, Lauderdale, Ganilh, Ricardo, Malthus, Destutt de Tracy, Saint-Chamans et son frère J.B. Say. L'auteur y développe une théorie entièrement originale dont l'importance a été réévaluée par les historiens modernes de l'économie politique. "Anticlassique", il combat la théorie libérale non pas comme les socialistes de son temps au nom de la justice, mais en réfutant la détermination de la valeur par le coût de production des classiques, pour y opposer une théorie personnelle de la valeur fondée sur l'utilité. Frère cadet de Jean-Baptiste Say auquel l'ouvrage est dédié, Louis-Auguste Say (1774-1840) fit fortune dans l'industrie sucrière. Il est le fondateur de l'empire sucrier portant son nom. Sur son oeuvre économique cf. Marc Penouil, 'Louis Say', in "Revue économique", 1967, vol. 18, n°1, p. 98-122. (Einaudi, 5129. Goldsmiths, 23443. Kress, C.967). Très bon exemplaire, très bien relié.

16587A Paris, Chez Baudouin, 1790. (2), 86 pp. 8vo. Modern half morocco, gilt lettering to spine, marbled boards. Schelle 41d; Kress B.1833; Goldsmiths 14301; Einaudi 1679; Martin & Walter 12189; Stourm 167. First edition of one the important writings of Dupont during the revolutionary period. 'Travail ou sont étudiés les principes fiscaux et l'ensemble de la situation financière ..... On y trouve un exposé intéressant du Fonctionnement de l'ancienne gabelle' (Stourm). "It was not so much his physiocratic doctrine as his general grasp of macroeconomics that led Du Pont to take a strong stand against the Revolutionary government's growing resort to the issuance of paper money. In March 1790 he prepared a report (this work) for the Committee on Finance, which warned against the Assembly's resort to financing revolution through the use of paper money. An an alternative to printing money Du Pont recommended that the government reduce a proportion of its increases in spending on new prpgrams and that it temporarily retain, though at a reduced rate, the taxes on salt, bouillon, and furs, which it was about to abolish. If any deficit remained in the government's budget after these actions, it was to be made up by a surcharge on all other remaining taxes" (James J. McLain, The Economic Writings of Du Pont de Nemours, p. 148).

1764174581Soissons: et se trouve a Paris Chez P. G. Simon 1764. An important physiocratic tract First edition of this strong argument for the physiocratic policy of free trade in grain by one of the school's most influential practitioners. Quesnay was pleased with Dupont's tract and encouraged him to dedicate it to his patron Madame de Pompadour which Dupont did although she died before its publication. The work caught the attention of Jacques Turgot then Intendant of Limousin who was drafting an edict to free the grain trade and enlisted Dupont's assistance. The success of the treatise "was due at least in part to the climate of opinion favorable to arguments for removing restrictions on the commerce of grain" Saricks p. 37 an opinion that formed the basis of Turgot's free trade reforms. This copy is from the standard issue with pp. 15-20 and 47-52 cancels; a very few copies are known with the text in manuscript.

176893587London & Paris: Desaint 1768 and London: John Nourse & Desaint Paris 1767. First edition of undoubtedly one of the scarcest of Dupont's works and probably one of the most successful publications promoting physiocracy. A modern English translation only published in 2003 by Liberty Fund was prepared by Henry H. Clark who describes Dupont's work as "arguably the clearest most concise introduction to the full range of Physiocratic thinking on the nature of an enlightened interdependent exchange-based economy and its moral and political implications." The work is based on Le Mercier de la Rivière's L'ordre naturel et essentiel des sociétés politiques with which it is here bound which Adam Smith referred to as "the most distinct and best connected account of this doctrine". Schumpeter in his discussion on the physiocrats calls Dupont "by far the ablest of the lot" p. 226 and Palgrave notes; "If Quesnay was the father of physiocracy Dupont was its godfather for he gave it its name by the publication of his Physiocratie. a collection of Quesnay's articles which the editor introduced by a Discours."

1817161589Philadelphia: P. M. Lafourcade 1817. Dupont's final work Very rare first edition of Dupont's final work published in America where he died the same year: according to Gustave Schelle it is among his writings one of his best and unknown in France. The work is remarkable as a commentary on the development of political economy in Britain and France since the great ferment of half a century earlier in which Dupont himself had been a key figure. It includes a translation of the final four chapters of Malthus's book which had been omitted from the original French translation and a letter to Jean-Baptiste Say whose Traite d'économie politique Dupont had read aboard the ship Fingal in 1814. Octavo 196 x 120 mm. Recent half morocco and marbled boards to style top edge gilt by Ateliers Laurenchet. Very occasional light spotting else a very good copy crisp and clean with uncut fore and lower edges.
