SCHUMPETER, JosephMareMagnum

Das Sozialprodukt und die Rechenpfennige. Glossen und Beiträge zur Geldtheorie von heute [ First Edition ] Archiv für Sozialwissenschaft und Sozialpolitik. Separat-Abdruck aus Band 44, Heft 3

Archiv für Sozialwissenschaft und Sozialpolitik. Separat-Abdruck aus Band 44, Heft 3, 1 brochure in-8, Verlag von J. C. B. Mohr (Paul Siebeck), Tübingen, 1918, pp. 627-715 Edition originale. Très rare exemplaire du tiré-à-part. Etat moyen (couverture abîmée et débrochée, nombreuses annotations de Georges-Henri Bousquet). Dans cette étude, Schumpeter évoque notamment la création du pouvoir d'achat par les banques et le rôle capitalistique de la monnaie (Cf Perroux, La Pensée économique de Joseph Schumpeter, 23). Georges-Henri Bousquet (1900-1978), qui fut notamment professeur aux facultés d'Alger et de Bordeaux, était juriste de formation initiale (docteur en droit en 1923 avec une thèse sur "L'évolution sociale en Hollande 1914-1922"). Mais il reste surtout connu comme un économiste proche de Pareto (son maître en sociologie) et de Schumpeter, ainsi que comme un islamisant de l'école de Goldziher et Snouck-Hugronje. On peut signaler que le Professeur Bousquet est l'un des rares économistes français contemporains à être plusieurs fois cité dans la monumentale Histoire de l’Analyse Economique écrite par Joseph Schumpeter à la fin de sa vie. Les deux hommes se connaissaient personnellement depuis une première rencontre à Vienne en septembre 1923. A cette époque, G.-H. Bousquet fut présenté à Joseph Schumpeter, à Vienne, par Paul Lazarsfeld. Comme Bousquet le raconte lui-même : "A ce moment, Schumpeter avait 40 ans. Il était alors totalement ignoré en France, mais connu aux Etats-Unis où il avait été invité à professer quelque temps, et en Angleterre, où il avait eu également l'occasion de se faire entendre". Les deux hommes, qui deviendront amis, se rencontreront beaucoup plus longuement en 1933-1934 à Harvard, où Schumpeter sera devenu professeur. Georges Bousquet y effectuera en effet un long séjour de recherche, financé par la fondation Rockfeller. Toute sa carrière, Georges Bousquet sera fasciné par l'oeuvre de Schumpeter, qu'il fera notamment découvrir, tant par ses articles que par les discussions, à l'économiste François Perroux. Allemand

A propos de l'auteur de l'ouvrage, Martin Schurig, Dezeimeris (IV, 129-130) indique : "Compilateur instruit et laborieux, pratiquait la médecine à Dresde, et y occupait le poste de médecin pensionné. Il mourut en 1733. Il a écrit sur divers points de médecine et de chirurgie, mais principalement sur tout ce qui se rattache à la génération et aux accouchements, une série de vastes monographies, dans lesquelles il a rassemblé une masse considérable d'observations, puisées de toutes parts, et où il rappelle à peu près tout ce que avait été fait avant lui". Martin Schurig (1656–1733) was the first physician to occupy himself with the anatomy of the sexual organs. This copy comes from Louis Daubenton's library.

Album of Watercolour Albums: South Africa Botanicals.

Album of watercolours devoted to flowering plants native to South Africa. Contains 30 images hand drawn and painted recto only one per leaf, most named in manuscript by the artist. A presentation copy inscribed to front pastedown, "E. Lawdon. From J. Bincker Dec. 1906". Oblong 8vo. sketch book made by Winsor & Newton whose label is affixed to front pastedown, with Whatman's drawing paper, taupe cloth boards, pencil sleeve (pencil not present), and a stretch band for secure closure. Volume measures approximately 19 x 13 cm. Minor age-toning to boards, small ink marks to verso, otherwise in very good condition, internally clean and bright, A pleasing work with lovely renderings of South African flora. Some of the flora painted in the present album include: Protea; Erica; Morea (commonly known as the Cape tulip); Aloe Davyama; Erythina Caffra (the African Coral tree); Ornithogalum; Gladiolous; Striilitzia; Vellozia retinerius; Striga elegans; Watsonia; Crassula; Hypoxis; Salvia africana; Gomphocarpus. The artist may be Johanna Jacoba Brincker (1842-1923, née KNAB) of Stellenbosch, South Africa. Johanna Jacoba Knab was born in South Africa, on 12 June 1842 in Stellenbosch. Little is known about Johanna, though she lived in South Africa and Southwest Africa [now Namibia] for her whole life, and she was a missionary to the Herero people, having a complete understanding of their language and customs. We get a fuller picture of her adult life through her husband, putting her in the circles of notable German Rhenish missionaries. On 10 February 1864 in Stellenbosch she married German missionary Peter Heinrich Brinckner, born 9 May 1836 in Isselhorst, Westfalen. Brinckner had arrived in South Africa in 1863. After completing his theological training, Brincker was ordained in November 1862 and seconded to German South West Africa on 5 November 1862, with the task of proselytizing the Herero and Nama, who were at odds with one another. After an 83-day journey, he landed in Cape Town at the beginning of February 1863. In Stellenbosch, about 50 kilometers east of Cape Town, he was welcomed by missionary brothers. There he met his future wife Johanna Rath and became engaged to her. Missionary Johann Rath, who had worked with the Herero for 15 years, introduced Brincker to the Herero language. By early 1864 Peter had returned to Stellenbosch, where he married Johanna. Together, on 20 February 1864, they took over the work in the mission station of Otjikango, called Klein-Barmen, which had been founded twenty years earlier. Because of fighting between Herero and Nama, the couple had to flee to Otjimbingwe seven times over the next year and a half. In September 1865 the station in Otjikango was destroyed by the Nama and had to be painstakingly rebuilt.

Kyuba Shinron. [A New Theory on Raising Horses]

Japan: Suharaya, and others, Kaei 7 (1854). Fascinating and scarce account of a samurai's son whose personal determination led him to rise above the family's financial poverty, to properly care for his horse, build his own stables, and breed additional horses, all by learning the ancient long-forgotten ways of the ancient samurai. 8vo. 1 volume, 78 pages, including 9 full-page illustrations, two of which are hand coloured. Woodblock print. All text is in Japanese. Postscript records the first edition being published in 1806. Traditional karitoji paper binding string-stitched at spine, fukurotoji style ("bound-pocket" with folded leafs bound into spine), and opening from left to right. Natural paper covers, with manuscript title label to front. Together the volumes measure approximately 18 x 25,5 x 1 cm. Negligible creasing to boards and age-toning to upper margins, otherwise in very good and original condition, a pleasing and uncommon work. Based primarily on contemporary descriptions of the financial distress felt by the long-standing prestigious samurai class, such as the present account, it is accepted, without dissent that the ruling samurai class suffered increasing poverty during the Tokugawa (Edo) period. Seifu Murata (1746-1811) wrote: "For years now, the samurai have suffered from poverty and their minds have been occupied by making a living. ‘Buy this, sell that’ and ‘pawn this to pay for that’ has become all of their lives. Even for those dedicated to their duties, it was inevitable to debase themselves and to engage in unsavory conduct (i.e., engage in trading)". Even the wives of those who were earning as much as 200 koku busied themselves in trading and in shops. This is the hero's journey, imparted firsthand, of a brilliant young samurai born into poverty but wide-eyed and unrelentingly in pursuit of mastering the skills of a samurai and honouring his destined status in this class of nobility. Young Ryuzando Shujin began by learning the equestrian warrior traditions with a borrowed horse, and was eventually able to convince his father to buy him a horse of his own, despite of the family's economic situation. When the cost of caring for the horse became a burden no longer bearable, and he was told the horse would be sold, he fixated on finding a solution. Immediately, he began conducting extensive research into the ancient methods employed when most samurai were farmers who held the role of warrior in the event of a battle. The solution to combating the costs was breeding and selling. He began the process, while being scrutinized, mocked and judged by others, in particular jeering his rudimentary (cost-effective) hand-made stables. But he did not let any outside opinions pierce his confidence. After repeated trial and error, it was not long that he possessed six horses. Surely too, he had solved the challenges of the household finances. Shujin championed horsemanship as a duty of all samurai. With the belief that all samurai should therefore possess their own horse, in part to best perform archery, spearmanship, and swordsmanship, and owing to the fact that this was an era where some samurai families were poor, he published his methods for others to follow, and ultimately uphold their rights and responsibilities that their title suggests. The volume includes instructions for building horse stables by hand, without incurring high costs. He describes the breeding process, his training methodology, and proper feeding. His own experiences with horses falling to sickness and how he treated them back to health are also shared. Clearly a man with a charitable and honest heart, he concludes by stating that all of this aside, the single most important thing for a healthy and happy horse is "aishin" (affection).

Sir Richard Croft, Medical BaronetMareMagnum

Medical Manuscript Letter by a British Physician to King George III and the Royal Family, Describeing Complications of a Pregnancy Four Years Before the "Triple Obstetrical Tragedy.

Manuscript letter by Sir Richard Croft, Physician to King George III and the Royal Family, accoucheur (obstetrician), and British peer, describes complications of a pregnancy four years before the "triple obstetrical tragedy" Princess Charlotte which has become his unfortunate infamy. 8vo. 2 pages in manuscript. Double leaf measuring approximately 12 x 18,5 cm, watermarked with the year 1811, with integral address, two postal ink stamps and a lovely red wax seal.

"Sir Richard Croft (1762-1818) physician and man-midwife gained notoriety after his involvement in the labor of Princess Charlotte, which resulted in her death. He never shook off the shame of the tragedy, and shot himself three months later." (Oxford DNB). Manuscript signed letter from the Royal Physician and Male Midwife to the late Princess Charlotte, Sir Richard Croft, who is remembered for causing the "Triple Obstetrical Tragedy" of 1817, in which is a primary source account of early nineteenth century complications and precepts surrounding pregnancy and child deliveries. The writer is Sir Richard Croft, 6th Baronet (9 January 1762 - 13 February 1818), English physician to the British Royal Family and the obstetrician to Princess Charlotte, who is famed for his role in "the triple obstetrical tragedy" of her death in 1817. He received his medical training from, among others, his father-in-law, Dr. Thomas Denman, a preeminent obstetrician in London whose textbook on childbirth had been first published in 1788. He graduated with his MD from the University of Oxford in 1789. Croft was appointed the personal physician of King George III. He was also a member of the Medical and Chirurgical Society of London, and Physician to the Lying-in Charity on Old Burlington Street. He was the primary accoucheur or midwife to Princess Charlotte, granddaughter of the reigning King George III. Manuscript

BRUNETTI, Francesco SaverioMareMagnum

Giuochi delle minchiate, ombre, scacchi ed altri d’ingegno

In -8°, pp. 128, cartonato. Prima e unica edizione di questo libro dedicato ai giochi, ma ricco di escursioni nel campo della matematica e delle scienze sociali: notevole per originalità l’ampio capitolo dedicato alle “minchiate”, ovvero i tarocchi toscani (arricchiti di una serie di carte rispetto ai tarocchi classici), in cui l’autore non si limita a descrivere il gioco e le sue regole, ma aggiunge delle lunghe e nutrite ‘note allegoriche’, in cui le carte e le varie situazioni di gioco vanno a comporre una parziale ma a volte non superficiale rappresentazione dell’universo. Matematico per formazione, scrittore prolifico, Francesco Saverio Brunetti da Corinaldo (n. 1693, non si conosce la data della morte) “visse quasi sempre in Roma, ove sotto i pontificati di Clemente XII, Benedetto XIV, e Clemente XIII, diede varj saggi della sua abilità” (Comolli, III, p. 43): al di là della sua attività di ricerca scientifica, è segnalata la capacità divulgatoria del B. che, come in questo caso, scrisse più di un trattato su istanza di (e dedicandolo a) una nobildonna “per facilitarne l’intelligenza” e renderlo “all’uso femminile, sull’esempio del Fontanelle, dell’Algarotti, e di tant’altri”. Nel presente trattato la parte matematica si limita in effetti ad alcuni esercizi di aritmetica, dando più spazio al discorso e, come nel caso degli scacchi, a una chiara esposizione delle regole (qui completata da un cospicuo repertorio di aperture). Comolli, Angelo, “Bibliografia storico-critica dell'architettura civile ed arti subalterne”, Roma, 1788-92 First and only edition of this book on games, with many excurtions in mathematics and social sciences: it’s remarkable the wide part dedicated to the “Minchiate”, i.e. tuscan tarots (with more cards than the classic ones): the author not only explains the game and its rules, but also adds some long ‘allegoric notes’, in which cards and game situations composes a short but not shallow representation of human types and events. Basically a scientist, Brunetti (born in 1693, death is unknown), was living in Rome, under protection of popes Clemens XII, Benedict XIV, Clemens XIII: his activity included disclosure works, as this one, in which mathematics are limited to basic arithmetics, giving more room to explanations and, as for chess, a plain exposition of rules (there’s also a nourrished openings list). See Comolli, III vol., p. 43
