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.

1962505862Harvard University Press 1962. First Edition. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. FINE/Very Good. xiv 349pp. B/W frontispiece portraits of all five prophets. 8vo sewn binding in green cloth black stamped lettering. Exceedingly clean and sharp with fresh pages and tight binding; DJ price clippeda bit toned and rubbed around the edges. 'A study of five French thinkers and a school - friends disciples enemies — whose works evoke the image of a new age of prophecy. Tur-got Condorcet Saint-Simon and the Saint-Simonians Fourier and Comte form an unbroken chain of intellectual transmission from the Enlightenment through the first half of the nineteenth century. These men were crisis phil-osophers system-makers moralists magnificent obsessives intoxicated with the future. Mr. Manuel has combined psychological portraiture with philosophical and historical analysis. His fresh reading of underestimated thinkers is based on manuscripts as well as more familiar sources suggesting new insights. Historians of Marxism will be particularly interested in his interpretation of the social doctrines and philosophies of history; Freudians in his exploration of new attitudes toward love among the Saint-Simonians Fourier and Comte; scientists in his description of the imaginative projects of Turgot and Condorcet; students of the varieties of religious experience in his treatment of the Saint-Simonian cult and the Positivist religion. From the DJ flap. 'Each of these figures is ac corded a highly sophisticated and compact biographical treat- ment and subsequently personal details are appropriately in jected into the unfolding tale of the intellectual contribution of the thinker. As Professor Manuel proceeds he compares and contrasts the thinker of the chapter with the men already intro- duced and foreshadows the approaching 'prophet.' The historical context in which the prophets lived is expertly insinuated; so too the historical impact of the five men on the thought and practice of our own age. If Professor Manuel's plan appears highly ambitious it must be immediately stated that its execu tion has been eminently successful.' Donald J. Harvey review in Political Science Quarterly.

1788172184No place: no printer 1788. Wealth in the ancien regime First edition in book form of Turgot's most substantial work a milestone in the history of economic thought and a major influence on Adam Smith. Réflexions is a wide-ranging study of the production and distribution of wealth in the ancien régime drawing on Turgot's experience as chief administrator of Limoges. While the work shares several concepts with the Wealth of Nations including the division of labour Turgot goes beyond Smith in his absolute insistence on minimal government intervention in market forces. Turgot's conclusions that land is the source of wealth accord with those of the physiocrats; it was only his repugnance to all "sects" that kept him from the inner circle of the school. The editor of this posthumous edition is unknown although Condorcet and Du Pont are known to have republished several of Turgot's major economic writings at this time. The Réflexions were written in 1766 and serialized in the Ephémérides du Citoyen from 1769 to 1770. Octavo 195 x 119 mm. Engraved vignette to title page head- and tailpieces. Recent red quarter morocco smooth spine lettered in gilt marbled paper sides. Small ink numerals to half-title and title page. Slight bowing to boards minor browning and foxing to endpapers and contents: a very good copy.
