In-8, cartonnage marbré à la Bradel, pièce de titre de maroquin bordeaux (rel. moderne Laurenchet), (4), 70 p. Edition originale. "Projet visionnaire comprenant deux mémoires de Martin de La Bastide, publiés après les démarches infructueuses de sa part auprès de la cour d'Espagne en 1780 pour la réalisation d'un canal à travers l'isthme de Panama ou de Darien. La Bastide plaide en faveur des énormes avantages que 'l'Europe commerçante' pourrait tirer de l'ouverture d'un passage entre les deux mers, et fait un exposé méthodique du tracé géographique pour la jonction des mers, des moyens à employer pour y parvenir. Il analyse l'utilité pour le commerce des colonies espagnoles et pour 'le commerce universel'. A la fin du premier mémoire, La Bastide transcrit une note de Laborde dans laquelle ce dernier lui reconnaît la priorité sur ce projet. Le second mémoire s'intitule: 'Réflexions sur les rapports de la communication de la mer du Nord à la mer du sud, par le lac de Nicaragua, avec l'établissement permis aux anglois par leur dernier traité avec l'Espagne'. Ce traité donnait aux anglais la liberté de s'établir et de naviguer depuis la baie de Nootka jusqu'au cap Mendocino" (Vente Zoummeroff, n°95). (France Littéraire, IV. 324. Polak, 4909.

In-12, broché, couverture bleutée de papier ancien de livraison, 40 p. Edition originale et unique. Magistrat normand, François-Jean Orceau, baron de Fontette (1718-1794) fut nommé par Louis XV intendant de la généralité de Caen en 1752 et devint un acteur important du développement de cette ville. Favorable aux idées physiocratiques, il fit construire dans sa généralité de nombreuses routes en finançant les travaux par la fiscalité plutôt que par la corvée, comme c’était alors l’usage. Quesnay cita cette expérience en exemple dans une lettre à Mirabeau de sept. 1760 (OEuvres, INED, II, p. 1190). "Comment remédier aux inconvénients de la corvée en nature et de l’imposition en argent pour la construction des grands chemins: faire choisir les paroisses entre la corvée en nature et l’imposition en argent, établie d’après la répartition de la taille" (INED, p. 249). La lettre qui accompagne le Mémoire (p. 3-4) est signée "Fontette" et datée de Tilly le 18 août 1760. ("Annales de Normandie", 1959, IX, p. 126). WorldCat ne recense que deux exemplaires de cette brochure dans le monde. Quelques petites piqûres. Bon exemplaire.

Very light edgewear to extremities of DJ. ; 542 pages; Spans the period between the emergence of Italy from its Bronze Age to the height of the ensuing Iron Age-- and beyond, to the contemporaries of the fifth-century Athenians and of the Celts in Europe. Contributors examine the nature and importance of the many transformations that took place in this period: population growth, diversification of the economy, expansion of the market system, urbanization, the hardening of differences in social class-- and between North and south Italy, changing attitudes to wealth and to material resources generally, the evolution of art and sculpture, architecture and town planning, the role of religion and linguistic developments.
Author was a Ukrainian lawyer, a founder of the Ukrainian Helsinki Group, and a long-term inmate of Russian prisons and concentration camps. He was arrested for intent to present the question concerning the secession of Ukraine from the Soviet Union in 1961. In this 40-page pamphlet he describes his ordeal after his arrest in 1961, which involved constant surveillance and tampering with his mail. He concludes by stating he would rather starve himself to death than "endure the total persecution, discrimination, cruel treatment, insult to my human dignity, and ideological and politcal terror, all resulting from absolute lawlessness and arbitrariness." - page 40.
