1787175389Lausanne: no publisher 1787. First edition published by Honoré Gabriel Mirabeau the son of Victor de Riquetti. The work was originally drawn up by Du Pont de Nemours in 1776 under the title Mémoire sur les municipalités after a draft left by Turgot. The Lettre which begins on page 99 was written by Du Pont de Nemours and the Observations p. 113ff. by Brissot de Warville. The work was reprinted in 1788 under the title Des administrations provinciales. Turgot was opposed to the summoning of the states-general advocated by Malesherbes possibly on the ground that the two privileged orders would have too much power in them. His own plan is found in the Mémoire which was submitted informally to the King. This copy has a manuscript note on the blank recto of the frontispiece: "Cet ouvrage n'est pas de M. Turgot. Il est de M. dupont qui a pris quelqu'unes de ses idées; je suis certaine de ce que j'avance M. Turgot n'ayant rien écrit sur ses operations." Octavo 192 x 118 mm pp. Engraved portrait frontispiece. iv 5-167 1. Contemporary mottled calf red morocco label flat spine richly tooled in gilt single blind rule border to boards flower cornerpieces marbled endpapers and edges. Ownership stamp of the Château de la Roche Guyonne to title page with their gilt coat of arms stamped in the first compartment of the spine; annotation to blank recto of frontispiece and occasional marginal marks in ink to the contents; pale mostly marginal damp mark to first few gatherings; a very good copy.

1812113624Paris: Le Normant Firmin Didot 1812. Stated second edition but apparently the first printed. Schelle cites a "Philadelphia 1800" edition no. 74 but we have been unable to locate a copy and it is apparently unrecorded. Dupont had published in 1793 a work of 47 pages entitled Vues sur l'éducation nationale par un cultivateur ou moyen de simplifier l'instruction de la rendre à la fois morale philosophique républicaine civile et militaire sans déranger les travaux de l'agriculture et des arts auxquels la jeunesse doit concourir and it is possible that he called the present work a second edition because of that. There is no mention of an earlier edition in the preface however where Du Pont speaks only of the manuscript "made in 1800." That manuscript completed at the request of Thomas Jefferson in August 1800 the year Du Pont arrived in the United States is dated at the end "A Good-Stay pres New York 15 juin 1800." According to the note in the Hagley record the manuscript or a copy thereof was sent to Jefferson who did not act upon it until 1816 when he gave it to Francis Walker Gilmer. The latter was working on a translation in 1817 at the time of Du Pont's death. The copy sent to Jefferson and the translation have never been located. Hagley has an undated manuscript copy in an unidentified hand with Du Pont's corrections which was acquired at some point by Pierre S. Du Pont. But it was from this printed edition published in 1812 that Mrs. Bessie Gardner Du Pont made the English translation published in 1923. Octavo 196 x 120 mm. Large folding table opposite page 66. Late 19th or early 20th century half calf and marbled boards by George J. Swayne of Brooklyn spine decorated gilt in compartments morocco labels marbled edges and endpapers. Engraved armorial bookplate of Alexis and Elizabeth du Pont of Rencourt to front pastedown. Folding table trimmed at foot with slight loss of text. Schelle 99. hardcover

1804113554Paris: Veuve Goujon fils 1804. First and only edition. A very rare book printed in only a few copies for private distribution as stated in the preface. Written originally in 1788 in opposition to regressive internal tax policy specifically the tax on hides and leathers it remained unpublished until this moment when that and other reactionary fiscal measures were about to be revived. A virtual treatise on taxation it is a good illustration of the immense practical and theoretical knowledge that Du Pont and his fellow Physiocrats were able to bring to the debate over public policy.

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).

1799113128Paris: chez Goujon Fils 1799 Fructidor An VII. Third and final edition of Dupont's "treatise attempting to state a philosophy of life" Saricks first published in 1792 and addressed to his long-time friend Lavoisier. "From the dates given at the beginning of the book the Philosophie de l'univers was apparently written between December 20 1792 and June 10 1793. With the Philosophie Dupont included the Oromasis a prose-poem which according to his statement in the preface was written while he was concealed in the observatory after August 10. Although of inferior quality this little work displays the same sublime optimism which Condorcet was able to muster in somewhat similar circumstances while composing his famous essay on human progress. The basis of his 'philosophy of the universe' is that nothing is done by chance. Providential laws direct the whole universe as accords with good physiocratic doctrine" ibid. Octavo 196 x 120 mm. Engraved frontispiece portrait of the author. Late 19th or early 20th century half calf and marbled boards by George J. Swayne of Brooklyn spine decorated gilt in compartments morocco labels marbled edges and endpapers. Engraved armorial bookplate of Alexis and Elizabeth du Pont of Rencourt to front pastedown.
