A sua superioridade estratégica apenas prevaleceria se estes textos fossem mantidos em segredo e circulassem entre um número muito estrito de pessoas mas após a sua morte acabaram por ser divulgados de forma legal. Segundo Henry Guerlac de todos os livros dos séculos XVII e XVIII sobre estratégia militar nenhuma obra teve maior influência ou gozou de maior prestígio do que as de Vauban. Joan DeJean afirma ainda que os primeiros leitores de Vauban deviam crer estar na posse de segredos militares incríveis com o poder de tornar as nações invencíveis; que nenhum outro tratado de cerco tinha sido rodeado de tanto secretismo.</p>_x000d_<p>Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban Saint-Léger-Vauban 1633 Paris 1707 foi um grande engenheiro militar do reinado de Luís XIV e um dos principais conselheiros do rei.

Doze destas fortalezas que constituem um grupo de construções em toda a extensão das fronteiras francesas foram classificadas como Património Mundial da UNESCO em 7 de Julho de 2008.</p>_x000d_<p>EN 2 Volumes bound in one. 28.5x23.5 cm. xx 216; xvi 180 i.e. 188 xxxiv ii br. pp. Contemporary full leather binding with raised bands and gilt tools on spine and dry tooling framing the boards.</p>_x000d_<p>Illustrated with 44 folding engravings: 33 in the first part numbered I to XXXIII with 14 18 and 19 divided into two leaves; and 11 in the second numbered I to XI.

It was expanded by the publisher with a second part on the defence of fortresses "De la Defense des Places" attributed to Vauban but which in reality essentially reproduces the "Discours sur la défense des places présenté à Louis XIV en 1675" by Guillaume de La Fon de Boisguérin seigneur Deshoulières 1621-1693.</p>_x000d_<p>The second volume complements the work with a treatise on how to mine fortifications "Traité Pratique des Mines" up to page 48 and with a general treatise on war "Traité de la Guerre en General" anonymously authored.

His strategic superiority would only have prevailed if these texts were kept secret and circulated among a very strict number of people but after his death they were eventually made public in a legal way. According to Henry Guerlac of all the 17th- and 18th-century books on military strategy no work has had greater influence or enjoyed greater prestige than Vauban's. He also states that Vauban's work was more influential than his own. Joan DeJean further states that Vauban's first readers must have believed themselves to be in possession of incredible military secrets with the power to make nations invincible; that no other treatise on siege had been surrounded by so much secrecy.</p>_x000d_<p>Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban Saint-Léger-Vauban 1633 - Paris 1707 was a great military engineer of the reign of Louis XIV and one of the king's chief advisers. A specialist in siege strategy he was responsible for designing and modernising around a hundred fortresses which provided France with a force that made it impregnable throughout Louis XIV's reign - with the exception of the citadel of Lille which was captured once - until the end of the 18th century when the fortresses became obsolete due to advances in artillery. Twelve of these fortresses which make up a group of constructions along the entire length of the French borders were listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites on 7 July 2008.</p>_x000d_<p>Referências/References:</p>_x000d_<p>BNF: ark:/12148/cb315477793</p> M-17-B-23 hardcover

Of all the 17th- and 18th-century books "on military technology no works had greater influence or enjoyed greater prestige than those of Sebastien Le Prestre de Vauban the great military engineer of the reign of Louis XIV" Guerlac. Although a highly practical man and not a theoretician Vauban had written down the secrets of his success in the building and capturing of fortresses between 1669 and 1704. Vauban's strategic superiority could only remain if this information was kept secret so his texts circulated only within a very select circle. After Vauban's death they were leaked. "By the time the treatises became available Vauban's early readers must have been ready to believe that the text finally being made public did in fact contain incredible military secrets and have the power to make nations invincible. No other treatise of siegecraft had been surrounded by such secrecy" DeJean. The first volume contained Vauban's treatise on the attack of fortified places but the added part on defence was actually written by a colleague seigneur Deshoulières 1621-1693. A second volume published in 1742 contained Vauban's treatise on military mining and a general treatise on war.With library stamps. Binding slightly worn.

VIII 268 pp. 3 folded tables. <br/><br/><em>One of the at least seven different issues of the 12mo edition published same year as the first edition in 4to in which Vauban proposed a comprehensive tax reform plan for France. The central idea was to replace the existing tax system which heavily burdened the lower classes while exempting the nobility and clergy with a single tax on income and property that would be fairly distributed among all citizens regardless of social status. Schumpeter called the work 'unsurpassed before or after in the neatness and cogency of the argument. Purposeful marshalling of all the available data was the essence of his analysis. Nobody ever understood better the true relation between facts and argument. It is this that makes him an economic classic in the eulogistic sense of the work and a forerunner of modern tendencies' Schumpeter History of Economic analysis p. 204.

1707152921Rouen: no printer but for the author 1707. A CLASSIC OF PUBLIC FINANCE Very rare first edition first issue with B4 in uncancelled state: on p. 16 a setier is given as weighing 170 rather than 240 pounds of "an erudite economic work much in advance of its time and distinguished both by accuracy of method and breadth of view" Palgrave "creditable alike to the heart and the head of its illustrious author" McCulloch. Carpenter lists six other printings dated 1707 all in smaller format and eight subsequent editions before 1710 including the English translation A Project for a Royal Tythe 1708; reissued in 1710 as An Essay for a General Tax. "Though the book was published anonymously and only a few copies issued for circulation among friends Vauban had to submit to the mortification of seeing it 'pilloried' by the parliament while he himself incurred the displeasure of the king Louis XIV. A few weeks later he died" Palgrave. Although the renowned soldier-engineer Vauban 1633-1707 wrote on a very wide variety of subjects apart from economics - fortifications war naval matters religion agriculture population and colonization - the Projet d'une Dixme royale is an outstanding work in the field of public finance. Its two most notable features are its understanding of the central role of fiscal policy in economic reform - the result of an exceptionally comprehensive grasp of the economic process - and its use of detailed numerical data to substantiate conclusions. Schumpeter pronounced the work "unsurpassed before or after in the neatness and cogency of the argument. Purposeful marshalling of all the available data was the essence of his analysis. Nobody ever understood better the true relation between facts and argument. It is this that makes him an economic classic in the eulogistic sense of the word and a forerunner of modern tendencies" Schumpeter History of Economic Analysis p. 204. According to Boislisle the first edition was printed in Rouen in 1706 at the initiative of the Abbé de Beaumont who is credited with the authorship of the work by Boisguilbert. Vauban had the sheets bound by the widow of a certain Fétil and took great pains that the book had no public circulation. It was prohibited on 14 February 1707 but apparently the police could only seize two copies. To the police the binder declared she had had 264 copies in total 12 bound in morocco the rest in calf. The two copies seized at the Abbé de Beaumont's were described as in "veau fauve" and marbled parchment. See Arthur Michel de Boislisle "La Proscription du projet de Dime Royale et la mort de Vauban" Mémoire lu à l'Académie des sciences morales et politiques Paris 1875. In the Society of Jesus a professed house was a residence where - in a spirit of radical poverty - no member had a stable income. The Jesuit priests who lived there all of whom have made the profession of the four vows undertake their spiritual and pastoral ministry completely for free. With no revenues these houses were dependent on the generosity of benefactors even for their daily needs. Quarto 245 x 185 mm.
