An evocative artefact in the form of a silver coffee pot connecting two of most significant female-intellectual salon hostesses of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Originally owned by the philosopher author and influential public figure Sophie Madame de Condorcet 1764-1822 the coffee pot was subsequently bequeathed to her lover the historian philologist and critic Claude Charles Fauriel 1772-1844 who then gifted it to his intimate friend the feminist intellectual Mary Clarke 1793-1883.</p><p>Following her marriage to the French Enlightenment philosopher political economist politician and mathematician the Marquis de Condorcet 1743-1794 in 1786 Sophie de Grouchy now Madame de Condorcet began hosting what would become one of the most significant salons of the revolutionary period. Commencing in 1789 the salon ran until 1793 when it was halted by the reign of terror and the proscription and death of the Marquis resuming again uninterrupted from 1799 to 1822. More egalitarian than her fellow-Girondist hostess Madame Roland Condorcet did not discriminate on the basis of class or social origins and always welcomed other women into her salon along with a host of notable visitors including Thomas Jefferson Adam Smith and Germaine de Staël. The salon also played a particularly notable role in the promotion of women's rights with Condorcet allowing the Cercle Social - an association with the goal of equal political and legal rights for women - to meet in her home; Olympe de Gouges author of the "Declaration of the Rights of Woman and of the Female Citizen" 1791 being prominent amongst its members. Scholars have also argued that Sophie de Condorcet's own concern with female emancipation was responsible for her husband's arguments for greater rights for women most famously expressed in his essay "Sur l'admission des femmes au droit de cité" 1790. Beyond her role as a salon hostess Condorcet also penned the philosophical work "Lettres sur la Sympathie" which she appended to her 1798 translation of Adam Smith's "Theory of Moral Sentiments".</p><p>Claude Charles Fauriel a dedicated republican was a regular attendee at Condorcet's salon having been introduced to such intellectual circles by Madame de Staël particularly the group centred around Antoine Destutt de Tracy and the "idéologues". He began a relationship with Condorcet in 1801 living openly with her until her death in 1822. Fauriel met Mary Clarke that same year with the pair quickly developing a romantic attachment although this ultimately developed instead into an intimate friendship.</p><p>Born into a family of progressive intellectual women Mary Clarke moved from Westminster to Paris with her mother and grandmother at the age of eight. By her twenties initially via her friend the French socialite Juliette Récamier she had become a well-known figure at the heart of Parisian intellectual and literary life and was acquainted with writers including Stendhal Victor Hugo Prosper Merimee Chateaubriand and Alessandro Manzoni. In 1838 she established her salon in rooms that she rented above the home of Chateaubriand in a third floor apartment at 120 Rue du Bac in the Saint-Germain district. Here for more than forty years her home became an intellectual centre in Paris where she hosted all manner of writers thinkers aristocrats diplomats and politicians additionally offering a home-from-home for Anglophone foreigners such as William Thackeray the Brownings and the Trollopes. It was here that Clarke also cultivated a number of friendships with other distinguished female authors thinkers and activists including George Eliot Lady Augusta Stanley Elizabeth Gaskell and most intensely Florence Nightingale with whom she shared a close lifelong friendship. In her mid-fifties she married the German orientalist Julius von Mohl 1800-1876 whose nephew Ottmar von Mohl 1846-1922 a German diplomat and government adviser in Meiji period Japan ultimately published Clarke and Fauriel's correspondence and via whom the present collection descended. Between 1897 and 1917 von Mohl served as a German delegate to the Egyptian National Debt Commission in Cairo hence the Egyptian binder's labels in the three books.</p><p>In the present typically full letter by Clarke - which she notes with pleasing detail was written whilst her beloved cat sits upon her lap - she makes reference to her travels between Paris Brussels and England as well as politics religion her current reading and the pair's own intellectual and literary endeavours as well as mentioning the activities of various friends and associates including the physicist and mathematician André-Marie Ampère 1775-1836 statesman and later Prime Minister of France François Guizot 1787-1874 and historian Augustin Thierry 1795-1856. Writing in a forthright style she is unafraid to commence the letter with a rebuke to Fauriel for apparently requiring encouragement from another friend to reply promptly to her letters: "Madam Arconati is very kind and has more capacity for affection in her little finger than the entire male race has in their whole bodies".</p><p>The present coffee pot was left by Sophie de Condorcet to Fauriel in her will as part of a larger generous inheritance which is reproduced in one of the accompanying books noted in a more intimate line: "I bequeath and give to Mr. Claude Fauriel named above my small silver coffee pot the few pieces of furniture and books that will be found at the time of my death mixed with his in Paris and Meulan". Galley p.275. It was likely engraved with its present inscription later in Clarke's own lifetime following her marriage bearing her final address of 120 Rue du Bac.</p><p>Coffee of course formed part of the life-blood of convivial salon culture as it similarly did in the English coffeehouse; the present coffee pot which passed through the hands of two prominent public female intellectuals who served as leading salon hostesses of the period thus carries a strong symbolism which as the proud inscription attests was likely not lost on Mary Clarke. Considering the varied and illustrious nature of those who passed through Condorcet's and Clarke's salons it is tempting to imagine who may have poured their coffee from this distinguished little pot.</p><p>Provenance: Sophie Marquise de Condorcet; bequeathed to Claude Charles Fauriel 1822; bequeathed to Mary Elizabeth Clarke 1844; the collection of Clarke's nephew and the editor of her correspondence Ottmar von Mohl 1846-1922. hardcover

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. Octavo 181 x 118 mm. Recent marbled boards black calf label. Half-title present. Some offsetting from type a few minor creases discreet repair to tear on p. 8 else a very good copy.
