Small paper-label pasted on to top of spine. Stains and scratches to boards. Corners bumped. Internally nice and clean. 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. '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. '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.' Palgrave. </em> hardcover
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.

Contemporary sprinkled calf spine ruled and decorated gilt in compartments red morocco label red edges.

Ownership inscription of the Professed house of the Society of Jesus of Paris to head of title.

35601381, Paris, Maison de Commission en librairie, 1806; in-8, demi-basane brune de l'époque. "2 ff., 454 pp., (2 pp.).EDITION ORIGINALE RARE. Attribués au Comte de Vauban par Barbier, ces mémoires auraient été largement remaniés par Alphonse de Beauchamp, selon Quérard. Emigré en 1791, Vauban ( 1754-1816) se rendit d'abord à l'armée des princes ) Coblence, puis en Russie, enfin en Angleterre, d'où il partit avec l'armée des émigrés pour la désastreuse expédition de Quiberon, qui fait l'objet de l'essentiel de ses mémoires"". Fierro 1440.- Lemière p. 569. ""Après avoir rempli diverses missions pour son parti, Vauban rentra en France sous le Consulat et fut arrêté en 1806. Il fut longtemps retenu prisonnier au Temple. Parmi ses papiers on avait saisi le manuscrit de ses mémoires sur la Vendée, où il accusait avec amertume la plupart de ses compagnons d'armes à Quiberon et même les princes. Le gouvernement se hâta de publier ces Mémoires et le Cte de Vauban se vit dès lors en butte à la haine de son propre parti et fit de vains efforts pour rentrer en grâce sous la Restauration. Quoique réimprimé plusieurs fois, son ouvrage est devenu fort rare"" (Larousse du XIX e siècle). Accident au bas d'une charnière. Qq. rousseurs.
