1763LCPCECO-0008(La rarissime édition originale du monument de l'école physiocrate. Un superbe exemplaire, à très grandes marges, conservé dans sa reliure en veau strictement de l'époque) MIRABEAU Victor (Marquis DE) (1715-1789) - QUESNAY François (1694-1774). "PHILOSOPHIE RURALE OU ECONOMIE GENERALE ET POLITIQUE DE L'AGRICULTURE, REDUITE A L'ORDRE IMMUABLE DES LOIX PHISIQUES & MORALES, QUI ASSURENT LA PROSPERITE DES EMPIRES". 1763, Amsterdam, Libraires Associés. 1 volume in-4° (262x204 mm) (dimensions pages 257x192 mm) (2) ff. (faux-titre et titre), XXV, (1) pp. (préface, avertissement et table des chapitres), 412 pp. ; manquent les 3 tableaux h.t., oubliés par le relieur. ((2) ff., a-c4, d1, A-Z4, Aa-Zz4, Aaa-Eee4, Fff2) Reliure de l'époque en veau écaillé.Dos à cinq nerfs avec fleurons et décorations dorés et pièce de titre en maroquin vieux rouge. Double filet doré sur les coupes. Tranches rouges. Gardes de papier décoré et de papier blanc. Edition Originale, très rare. Quelques petits frottements à la reliure et deux petits chocs aux coins supérieurs. Quelques rares pages légèrement brunies, sinon intérieur très frais et propre. Superbe exemplaire à très grandes marges (quelques fois non rognées), peut-être un des plus grands passés sur le marché dans les derniers vingt ans. Très rare exemplaire conservé dans sa reliure strictement de l'époque, mais sans les 3 tableaux h.t., oubliés par le relieur. Cet ouvrage nait de la collaboration entre Mirabeau et Quesnay, ce dernier, médecin de Mme de Pompadour, rencontré à Versailles en juillet 1757. C'est le monument de la physiocratie et des théories sur le "Gouvernement par la Nature" ("The first of the four text-books of physiocrat orthodoxy" (Schumpeter, p. 225)). La doctrine de l'école physiocratique "est un mélange de libéralisme économique et de déspotisme éclairé". Ses principaux thèmes sont "la nature, la liberté, la terre et le déspotisme légal". Toute la richesse vient de la terre et seule la classe des agriculteurs est la vraie classe productive. Les lois de la proprieté privée et de la pleine liberté ("Laissez faire, laissez passer") doivent être réspectées, parce qu'elles sont les seules qui permettent d'atteindre la prosperité et de mantenir un ordre parfait.

17326120London: Printed for T. Dormer 1732. First edition. Modern quarter morocco over cloth with gilt to spine. Measuring 180 x 111mm and collating complete including frontis folding game board and concluding woodcut: 2 62 2. From the collection of stage magician Ricky Jay with his bookplate to upper pastedown. Top margin trimmed close with consistent loss to running headers and occasional loss to page numbers with no other text effected. Pages somewhat toned with minor marginal chips but otherwise unmarked. A scarce satire playing both on the rising popularity of get-rich-quick schemes and on the economics of the marriage market the present is the only example to appear in the auction record. OCLC locates only twelve institutional copies. The present is the only example currently in trade.<br /> <br /> A Scheme for a New Lottery warns readers against the dangers posed by get-rich-quick schemes targeting large-scale scams like the recently burst South Sea Bubble sometimes called the world's first Ponzi scheme and the pawn-broking swindle of the so-called Charitable Corporation. These scams were appealing to ordinary people at a time when few were "successful in using wealth from trade to found a landed family" Rapp. Mocking both the conmen and the conned A Scheme satirically proposes "Another Lottery which may prove a general benefit to all concern'd; as there is no better Remedy for a Bite from a Mad Dog than the Liver of the Dog that bit." The proposed lottery filled with abstruse rules and convoluted promises ensures that the cycle continues.<br /> <br /> A Scheme also mocks marriage as a scam in which women could either make a wise match in a rich man or lose it all by marrying down. The lottery provides "Fifty Thousand tickets to be deliver'd to Maids or Widows or any that appear to be such" in the hopes of winning a financially stable husband represented by the tickets drawn. Such a match could be a good one: "A Ware-House Keeper with the Salary of a Hundred Pounds" or "the Governour." It could also by virtue of lottery be a loss: "2 Scotchmen both Pedlars 500 Broken Booksellers" and a range of other ruinous bounders are also listed as prizes. For those who desire an advance attempt the folding game bound in the book invites blindfolded women to stick a pin in the board to claim their prize. The present copy was played gently with pin marks revealing a Blacksmith and a Valet de Chambre among those husbands won<br /> <br /> The popularity of A Scheme resulted in a reissue the same year with a canceled title page as The Ladies Lottery and falsely attributed to Swift.<br /> <br /> ESTC N20921.
