xii, 341, vii, 313 pp. Index. Tables. First English Edition. "I intend to treat the economic relations of a whole social body as far as possible irrespective of its extension, its organisation, its laws of property, etc. The ultimate aim of economic science must be to discover those necessities which are of a purely economic nature and which cannot be arbitrarily mastered by the will of men. An intimate knowledge of these necessities is the first condition for Social Reformers being ever able to produce something more than cheap speculations on the economic organization of the future or costly disturbances of the very delicate machinery of present economic life." - Preface. Modicum of library markings. Bindings intact. Average wear. A sound set. Fundaburk 1232, Masui p.242, Batson p.176, Sandelin p.122. Book
Par Monsieur de Surgy, ancien premier Commis des Finances, Censeur Royal & de l'Académie de Dijon, 3 vol. in-4 reliure de l'époque plein veau marbré, dos à 5 nerfs orné, Hôtel de Thou [ Panckoucke ], A Paris, 1789, 2 ff., 12-lx-685 pp. et 1 f. ; 2 ff., 787 pp. ; 2 ff., 797-xvii pp. Dans son long discours préliminaire, Rousselot de Surgy fait l'éloge de Colbert et de Sully, réclame une répartition équitables des impôts : "les grandes exactions diminuent les revenus publics, quoiqu'elles semblent d'abord les augmenter ; elles en tarissent les sources, détruisent l'agriculture et le commerce...". Pour cela, il propose d'établir un cadastre général permettant de rendre la taille réelle et de taxer les terres suivant leurs qualités et leurs produits. Bel exemplaire en très belle reliure d'époque de la très rare réédition, sous un nouveau titre, de la partie "Finances" de l'Encyclopédie méthodique, publiée par Panckoucke en 1784 (petits mq. en coiffes, très bonne restauration à un plat, mq. à un feuillet de garde volante, très petite mouill. sur une tranche en tête, très petit mq. de cuir sur un plat, qq. très petits frott. en reliure, superbe exemplaire par ailleurs). Dans notre version, les fautes qui étaient signalées en errata dans l'édition de 1784 pour les second et troisième volumes ont été corrigées directement dans le texte.

354 pages. Index. Footnotes. "On very rare occasions a book appears which forever changes the way in which we perceive the world around us. Within a short while it becomes hard to understand how we could have functioned without the knowledge gained from it. This is such a book. Quigley presents certain 'keys' crucial to the understanding of 20th century political, economic and military events - events of the past, present, and future... The fact that Carroll Quigley, a highly respected professor at Georgetown University and an instructor at Princeton and Harvard, could not find a publisher for this work, is in itself significant." - Stephen A. Zarlenga, Publisher. Light wear to book which is clean and unmarked but for prior owner's neat signature atop front free endpaper.
