"Contrary to what is suggested by the title this book was not a biography but rather an expose of Turgot's educational political and economic ideas.

The present work and Dupont de Nemours' earlier memoir 1782 are the two major contemporary biographies of the great French statesman economist and financial reformer.

Mazzei emigrated to America from Italy in 1773 and introduced the cultivation of grapes and olives to the United States. He became a neighbor of Jefferson in Virginia settling near Monticello at Jefferson's request and this association led to their long friendship and the author's acquaintance with Franklin and Adams. A staunch Republican Mazzei took an active role in the Independence movement. In this work he outlines the history of the American colonies the causes of the Revolution and the economy and government of the United States. Also discussed are Indians slavery emigration and the Society of the Cincinnati. The book was a contemporary success and remains an important work which Malone characterizes as "probably the most reliable of all the works of the period on the United States" Thomas Jefferson 2:109-110. Jefferson aided Mazzei in the compilation of the work while acting as American minister in Paris.

See PMM 246: "It was the gospel of the nineteenth century that mankind is destined for indefinite future progress. Condorcet 1743-1794 looking back and then forward saw proof of this in the growing equality between classes and nations the intellectual physical and moral improvement of man; and he prophesied that popular education on correct principles would strengthen and assure this progress. In the Esquisse An Historical Outline of the Progress of the Human Mind published after his death Condorcet traces the history of man through epochs the first three covering his progress from savagery to pastoral community and thence to the agricultural state. The next five span the growth of civilizations and knowledge down to Descartes and the ninth describes the revolution of Condorcet's own lifetime from Newton to Rousseau. The prophetic view of the tenth epoch shows Condorcet at his most original. He forecasts the destruction of inequality between nations and classes and the improvement intellectual moral and physical of human nature it is as the most fully developed exposition of the progress of man that Condorcet's work is now remembered and it is this which has given its lasting appeal." <br/><br/> Agasse, ans III unknown books

178566958ìThe First Large-Scale Attempt to Apply Mathematics to Knowledge of Human Phenomenaî CONDORCET Marie Jean Antoine Nicolas Caritat Marquis de. Essai sur lÃapplication de lÃanalyse ‡ la probabilitÈ des dÈcisions rendues ‡ la pluralitÈ des voix. Paris: De lÃImprimerie Royale 1785. First edition.†Quarto. 2 cxci 1 blank 304 pp. Decorative woodcut head- and tail-pieces. Contemporary French mottled calf spine decorated in gilt with five raised bands. Marbled endpapers all edges red. First and last few pages browned at edges . gathering K is browned a Q and 2G is toned. Otherwise very good and very scarce. ìCondorcetÃs most significant and fruitful endeavor was in a field entirely new at the time. The subject was one that departed from the natural sciences and mathematics but nevertheless showed the way toward a scientific comprehension of human phenomena taking the empirical approach of natural science as its inspiration and employing mathematics as its tool. Condorcet called this new science ësocial mathematics.à It was apparently intended to comprise.a statistical description of society a theory of political economy inspired by the Physiocrats and a combinatorial theory of intellectual processes. The great work on the voting process published in 1785 is related to the latter. Condorcet there sought to construct a scheme for an electoral body the purpose of which would be to determine the truth about a given subject by the process of voting and in which each elector would have the same chance of voicing the truth.No doubt the results obtained in the Essai dÃapplication de lÃanalyse were modest ones. ëIn almost all casesà Condorcet said ëthe results are in conformity with what simple reason would have dictated; but it is so easy to obscure reason by sophistry and vain subtleties that I should feel rewarded if I had only founded a single useful truth on a mathematical demonstrationà Essai p. ii. One must nevertheless recognize in this work.the first large-scale attempt to apply mathematics to knowledge of human phenomenaî D.S.B. Brunet VI col. 472.

179546405122Paris, Agasse, An III (1795) ; in-8, broché, entièrement non rogné, couverture bleue muette de parution. VIII pp., 389 pp. avec l’étiquette imprimée (dessinée au dos du brochage).Malgré la mention “deuxième édition”, ce tirage est en tous points conforme à l’édition originale. Ce livre posthume est l’ouvrage le plus important de Condorcet. Souvent considéré comme l’apogée de la Philosophie des Lumières, ce texte est un hymne à la gloire du progès. La notion de progrès existait avant dans le domaine scientifique ou culturel. Mais l’idéologie de progrès de Condorcet, à la suite des Philosophes et surtout de Turgot, s’entendait dans l’ordre de l’esprit et de la morale. L’Esquisse ne veut pas seulement éclairer le présent, mais également maîtriser l’avenir. On retrouvera son influence dans la pensée du XIXe, en particulier chez Saint-Simon et Aug. Comte. Printing and the Mind of Man, n° 246. - En français dans le texte, n°196.
