The editor J.R. McCulloch achieved note as the first professor of political economy at University College London and for his works on statistical analysis. The work opens with a short biography of Smith and an 'Introductory Discourse' giving a history of the study of political economy.<br /><br />A cornerstone text in the development of modern economic theory and political philosophy the Wealth of Nations 'begins with the thought that labour is the source from which a nation derives what is necessary to it. The improvement of the division of labour is the measure of productivity and in it lies the human propensity to barter and exchange. The Wealth of Nations ends with a history of economic development a definitive onslaught on the mercantile system and some prophetic speculations on the limits of economic control' PMM.<br /> Tribe 151.

1800152848Stockholm: Tryckt i Kumblinska Tryckeriet 1800. First translation in Swedish of Georg Sartorius's abbreviated edition of the Wealth of Nations first published in German in 1796 aimed as a university textbook. "Sartorius' indisputable contribution to economic science consists in the fact that he was one of the first German professors to grasp the significance of Adam Smith's system. At a time when German academic and political life was still dominated by the cameralist tradition he enthusiastically undertook the propagation of the Smithian doctrine using the lecture hall as his principal forum. His selections from the Wealth of Nations published as early as 1796 'for use in academic lectures' revealed a capacity to present the principles and implications of laissez faire in a manner suited to the tastes and needs of German students" ESS. This abridged version intended as a textbook marked a radical reduction of the work - at around 40000 words it is a tenth the size of the original. The Swedish translation by the jurist Johan Holmbergsson 1764-1840 was important in introducing Smith's ideas to Sweden. Prior to this publication only excepts of Smith's work had been available in Swedish in the journal Läsning i blandade ämnen 1799. The section on income tax is omitted possibly for political reasons since it suggested that there were some forms of taxation that should be applied to all. The preface is an abbreviated and revised version of Sartorius's original introduction. Octavo 163 x 106 mm. Late 19th-century purple quarter cloth spine lettered in gilt marbled sides blue speckled edges.

1830129378Paris: Chez Barrois l'Ainé 1830. Second edition first published in 1798 of Sophie de Grouchy's translation the "the best available in her language" Ross p. 365 which brought Smith's work to a much broader French audience following two ineffectual translations and which remains the standard French text. The edition includes de Grouchy's Lettres sur la sympathie her notable contribution to moral philosophy. The translation was preceded in French editions by Marc-Antoine Eidous's translation of 1764 roundly criticized for its low quality and held by Smith to be responsible for the poor reception of his work on the continent and Jean-Louis Blavet's translation of 1774-5 which was poorly disseminated. A manuscript translation by Louis Alexandre Duc de la Rochefoucauld 1774 was abandoned and unpublished. In contrast de Grouchy's translation was praised from the start and commended for its faithfulness to the original text. "Smith was no longer alive by the time Grouchy published her own translation 1798; he died in 1790 but it is safe to say that he would have been happier with hers as she followed the text as precisely as she could attempting to capture the tone and rhythm as well as the multilayered meanings of his sentences" Bergès and Schliesser p. 9. The edition also includes a translation of Smith's Dissertation on the Origin of Language first published in The Philological Miscellany and thereafter appended to the third and subsequent editions of the Theory of Moral Sentiments. The translation was reprinted again in 1860; Tribe mentions a printing of 1820 p. 239 but does not list it in his catalogue and it cannot be traced presumably an error. De Grouchy was a prominent salon hostess during the French Revolution and under Napoleon. The Lettres sur la Sympathie appended to the translation form a response to Smith's Moral Sentiments but also offer an original and important contribution to moral philosophy. The text written from around 1791 to 1793 takes the form of eight letters addressed to C sometimes surmised as to her husband the philosopher Condorcet more probably her brother-in-law the physiologist and philosopher Pierre Jean Georges Cabanis. De Grouchy in the first letter sets out her project to find the origins of sympathy and over the following letters sustains her argument that they are physiological based in experienced or imagined pain and pleasure. The Lettres have long been recognized in French scholarship - Jean-Paul de Lagrave's French edition of 1994 lists at least 15 works in French dealing with her from 1887 to 1987. In English scholarship her work has been recognized only more recently. English translations were published - independent from Smith's Theory - in 2008 edited and translated by Karin Brown and James E. McClellan III and 2019 edited and translated by Sandrine Bergès and Eric Schliesser both containing lengthy introductory monographs confirming the originality and importance of the Lettres. Karin Brown in 2008 bemoaned de Grouchy's then invisibility in English scholarship - "the Lettres are certainly a notable if overlooked Enlightenment text. But more specifically there is significant recent interest in sympathy and sensibility in the literature of the eighteenth century and Sophie de Grouchy is the one contemporary woman philosopher who thought and wrote critically about sympathy. This otherwise informed and eye-opening scholarly reinterpretation of the role of sentiment in late-eighteenth century thought is unaware of Sophie de Grouchy or her contributions" Brown and McClellan p. xvi. 2 vols octavo 203 x 117 mm.

1865442551865. Wien W. Braumüller 1865 8° VI 1 Blatt Druckfehler 143. 1 pp. 13 Holzschnitte 2 farblith. Tafeln mit 24 von Politzer gezeichneten Abbildungen Halbledereinband der Zeit; Rücken erneuert; feines Exemplar. First Edition of the first OTOSCOPY ATLAS! "In 1865 Adam Politzer 1835-1920 published his first work on otoscopy or rather his first great work as an artist. He was the first to think of publishing a book on this subject. The 143-page atlas showing methods of examining the ear included 37 drawings of the tympanic membrane by Politzer entitled "Die Beleuchtungsbilder des Trommelfells im gesunden und kranken Zustande". There were 13 drawings in black and white distributed through the text and 24 drawings in color reproduced as two separate plates using chromolithography by Carl I Heitzmann at the Köke lithography workshops in Vienna. Scientific images began to be used in medical circles as they could be an excellent aid to understanding a phenomenon and teaching it. The images represented true or real facts i.e. they allowed reality to be studied more or less directly and analyzed according to perception and interpretation. Recognizing a certain feature did not mean understanding the message of the image itself in which the feature could have a particular meaning. It was necessary to know how to interpret the images before recognizing the features taking into account that the images were only two-dimensional. Interpreting them was the major problem. The objectives of their analysis were clearly defined and these were essential for determining the means of interpretation. The atlas was the first real one of observations made during direct visual examination of the ear based on the diagnostic approach and examination of the tympanic membrane with different images of healthy and diseased ears described in relation to the color transparency position healthiness cicatrization and mobility of the tympanic membrane. Politzer introduced color for the first time. Apparently simple to use in fact it was not at all. Color is affected as much by light as by darkness so it was connected closely to light and revealed to the eye therefore through observation. Politzer had to perfect a technique for keeping the light constant during examination of the ear so he could finalize the colors he saw while studying pathologies of the tympanic membrane. His atlas was soon considered essential to the study of otology. In the introduction Politzer clearly explained the importance of examining the tympanic membrane correctly because if it was done well many diseases of the ear could be identified without further examination: . Politzer showed that the color of the tympanic membrane depended on the combination of three factors: its own color the color of the promontory806 seen against the light and the effect of the light source. Revolutionary at that time the importance of the otoscopie image in diagnosis is still today the key point in examining a patient with ear problems. In more than 90% of cases the otoscop¬ie image is sufficient for making a correct diagnosis. This new method with its three main stages followed almost exactly that used by art critics to study a work: description of the object observed using the appropriate vocabulary understand¬ing after studying it how the image is composed and analysis of the meaning of the image or rather of the pathology found. More simply studying an image means asking questions in this instance looking for anomalies from which to make a diagnosis. Because it is transient the image has to be reproduced so it can be used again. It then becomes a transposition of the real thing or a reality in itself and can be used for training in observation. That was without doubt Politzer's aim when he published the otoscopy atlas." Albert Mudry: Adam Politzer 2010 pp.174-178 Garrison-Morton No.3378 unknown
