Textblock shows moderate age toning and miild scattered foxing. Inscribed to Sophie de Condorcet "a Madame de Condorcet de la part de l'auteur" inside cover with additional inscription on front cover. Shelved at Rockville Room E. Benjamin Constant 1767-1830 was one of the most influential liberal political theorists of the early nineteenth century and a prominent figure in French intellectual life after the Revolution and the fall of Napoleon. A gifted writer journalist and parliamentarian Constant argued for constitutional government civil liberties and freedom of expression. His writings-including essays political speeches and novels-helped shape modern liberal thought especially his distinction between the "liberty of the ancients" and the "liberty of the moderns" emphasizing individual rights and representative government. His 1814 work De la liberté des brochures des pamphlets et des journaux defended freedom of the press at a moment when France was transitioning from Napoleonic rule to the Bourbon Restoration making the book an important statement in the early struggle over modern political freedoms.<br /> <br> <br /> <br> <br /> Sophie de Condorcet 1764-1822 the Marquise de Condorcet was a leading intellectual and salonnière of late-eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century France. Widowed during the French Revolution after the death of her husband the philosopher Marquis de Condorcet she became an important guardian and editor of his works while maintaining a prominent Paris salon that attracted many liberal thinkers and political reformers. A writer and translator in her own right-most notably translating the works of Adam Smith into French-she advocated educational reform women's intellectual advancement and Enlightenment ideals of reason and progress. Her intellectual circle overlapped with many of the liberal political figures active during the Restoration period making a presentation copy from Constant to Madame de Condorcet a meaningful association within the broader network of early modern liberal thought. 1410251.

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.

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.

178683882London: no publisher 1786. One of four printings of 1786 Gerits's edition D with no Avis de l'éditeur and no errata and the misprints corrected: "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.

"Célèbre pour ses travaux pionniers en statistique et en probabilités, pour son analyse des modes de scrutin, le vote Condorcet, « théorème du jury » et le paradoxe de Condorcet, ainsi que pour ses écrits philosophiques et son action politique, notamment contre l'esclavage et pour l'égalité des sexes, tant avant la Révolution que sous celle-ci. Siégeant parmi les girondins, il propose la refondation du système éducatif ainsi que celle du droit pénal." (Wikipédia) Grand ami de d'Alembert, puis de Voltaire, il finit par se mettre la Convention révolutionnaire à dos et mourut dans des circonstances mal connues sous la Terreur alors qu'il était au cachot.
