178322332Rome i.e. Paris or Neuchatel: de l'imprimerie du Vatican 1783. First edition 8vo pp. iv 192; title-page vignette 2 cupids; bound in modern dark brown morocco gilt a.e.g. by Wood; light wear a few contemporary manuscript notes fine. A compendium of curiosities culled from ancient writings in an effort to present indelicate subjects such as onanism tribalism etc. in a manner acceptable to the general public. Written while Mirabeau was imprisoned in the castle of Vincennes the book was according to Kearney pursued with such vigor by the authorities that only fourteen copies of the first edition have survived - a number almost assuredly inaccurate. Following a second edition of 1792 Errotika was included in the Papal Index of prohibited books. "A further edition was ordered to be destroyed in 1826 by the Royal Court of Paris and for 'outrages against public morality and good manners' there were two other prosecutions in 1856 and 1868" Kearney. The book was published in several subsequent editions and was included by Apollinaire along with some of Mirabeau's other prison writings in his scholarly edition of 1910 issued in the Bibliotheque des Curieux series.

British publisher novelist book collector and bibliographer Michael Sadleir's copy with his small bookplate on paste down. A rare work of erotica written in prison in Paris while the author was sentenced to die for "abduction and seduction." Erika Delbecque Special Collections Librarian at University of Reading writes of this book: Organised by different sexual practices and perversions into eleven chapters including topics such as bestiality 'Béhéma' female homosexuality 'L'Anandryne' and nymphomania 'La Linguanmanie' it purports to offer a history of human sexual behaviour. Mirabeau draws on quotes from the Bible and ancient sources to provide historical examples of each sexual practice and attacks the corruption of the clergy and the aristocracy in the process.

A very good untrimmed copy; chips to spine ends; scuffed tips owners bookplates on front end-papers and first blank; tight binding. iv 68 pp. 8vo. First American edition. "The Society was not greeted so warmly in the United States. Within months of the adoption of the Institution critics began to charge that the members planned to use the Society to impose a hereditary aristocracy on the new American republic. The leading critic was a South Carolina judge Aedanus Burke. In a pamphlet titled Considerations on the Society or Order of Cincinnati published in Charleston in late 1783 and soon republished all over the country Burke charged that the Cincinnati would form an American aristocracy dominating the government and extinguishing the liberties of the people. Dozens of other critics soon joined Burke and resolutions denouncing the Cincinnati were introduced into several state legislatures. At a moment when Americans were deeply anxious about the future of their untried experiment in republican government the Society of the Cincinnati stirred fears of a conspiracy to seize power and create a new aristocracy as the first step toward re-establishing a monarchy over America" societyofthecincinnati.org. Mirabeau picks up this argument in his "highly controversial imitation" of Burke's work which was suggested to Mirabeau by Ben Franklin" See Echeverria & Wilkie The French Image of America.

The Founder of the Physiocratic School. A work of fundamental importance whose appearance created a sensation throughout Europe was widely translated and reprinted and earned its author an international reputation "greater than that of any other economist before or after not excluding Adam Smith or Karl Marx." Schumpeter p. 175n Mirabeau argues that wealth is the product of population -- in particular agriculture -- and that a large populartion is desirable that religious toleration free enterprise a more equitable system of taxation and distribution of wealth were necessary components of a vital economy. The first three parts appeared in 1756; by 1758 Mirabeau had fallen under the influence of Quesnay and issued the fourth part in which the latter's influence is very much felt.
