Edges of boards worn. Corners bumped. Bibliographical notes to front free endpaper. Small ownership stamp to verso of title page. Evenly browned. XII23681: errata pp. <br/><br/><em>The extremely rare first Danish edition of Condorcet's main work "Esquisse d'un tableau historique des progrès de l'esprit humain.1795" "the most fully developed exposition of the progress of man" Printing and the Mind of Man p. 149 and a main work of the Enlightenment as well as of historical thought in general. The author was the creator of what came to found the basis for the modern French system. The great French philosopher political thinker and mathematician M.J.A. Condorcet 1743 - 1794 played a seminal role in 18th century France. He was friends with the likes of d'Alembert Voltaire Turgot etc. and he greatly contributed to the social and political debates of politically turbulent France. As one of the few he advocated a liberal economy equality in public education as well as in gender and race etc. He preached constitutionalism and his thoughts that are still influential today embody those of the Enlightenment and rationalism."A belief in the ultimate perfectibility of man lies at the root of all progressive thinking about the human condition. The "philosophes" and Godwin had familiarized the reading public with this notion; it was left to Condorcet to give it its finest and most durable expression. It was the gospel of nineteenth century that mankind is destined for indefinite future progress. Condorcet 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." PMM 246.During the French Revolution Condorcet came to play a dominating role advocating a rationalist reconstruction of society and he championed many liberal causes. In 1791 he became secretary of the Legislation Assembly and the institution adopted his scheme for comprehensive state education which later became the basis of the modern French system. In the struggle between the two political parties the Girondists and the Montagnards Condorcet occupied an independent role but when he opposed the death penalty under the trial of King Louis XVI still supporting the actual trial and the radical Montagnards gained more power Condorcet was branded a traitor and in October 1793 a warrant was issued for his arrest. He now went into hiding for several months almost a year and it is during these months that he writes the work that was to become his most important the main work "Esquisse." "Sketch for a Historical Picture of the Progress of the Human Mind" which was published posthumously the year after his death. In 1794 Condorcet was arrested and two days later he was found dead in his cell -it is unknown whether he committed suicide or was murdered because of fear of fierce reactions that would definitely have occurred had the beloved man been officially sentenced to the death penalty."In the Esquisse" 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 nation and classes and the improvement intellectual moral and physical of human nature. it exercised considerable influence on Comte. But 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 it its lasting appeal." PMM 246. </em> hardcover
1786124115London i.e France: no publisher 1786. One of four editions of Condorcet's life of Turgot printed in 1786 this being Gerits's edition C. All four editions have London imprints but the latter three were printed in France. Condorcet was a strong supporter of Turgot who had attempted to implement physiocratic ideas as the French finance minister from 1774 to 1776. His biography seeks to vindicate Turgot's thought and work and is a powerful defence of Enlightenment economic ideas. Seven editions appeared within two years meaning that it was one of the best-selling works of economics of its day. "Contrary to what is suggested by the title this book was not a biography but rather an exposé of Turgot's educational political and economic ideas" Gerits. This work together with Dupont de Nemours's biography is the chief contemporary account of the renowned financial reformer and friend of the physiocrats. It contains in a footnote Condorcet's early attempt to apply mathematics to economics. On pp. 178-184 he discusses the various mathematical ways "in which indirect taxation could be replaced by direct taxation and the effects of such a change" Theocharis Early developments in mathematical economics p. 65. Condorcet 1743-1794 was secretary to the Académie and was a prolific author. Although more celebrated for his studies in philosophy literature and politics "his mathematical treatment of probabilities and his discussion of differential equations and finite differences show an ability which might have put him in the first rank had he concentrated his attention on mathematics" W.W. Rouse Ball A Short Account of the History of Mathematics p. 388. Octavo 205 x 122 mm. Portrait frontispiece of Turgot. Early 19th-century quarter marbled calf red label to smooth spine with compartments ruled in gilt marbled sides speckled edges. Condorcet's name added to title page in contemporary hand. Front cover lightly marked tiny chip at base of title page a few small blemishes to contents. An excellent copy.

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
1774127684Paris: Chez Couturier père 1774 but 1775. First edition of Condorcet's defence of the free trade of grain. Turgot's liberalisation of the grain trade in 1774 coinciding with bad harvests and rocketing prices led to a fierce pamphlet war between proponents of the mercantilist and free trade schools of thought. Condorcet had written the present tract prior to Turgot's enactment of the policy perhaps to anticipate it but the work was not published until April 1775 in the midst of the troubles and the month before the outbreak of bread riots in Paris. Condorcet would elaborate his ideas further in his 1776 treatise Réflexions sur le commerce des bleds the year in which Turgot was dismissed and liberalisation of the grain trade scaled back.
