1880169H4360New York: Henry George & Co. Good. 1880. Fourth Edition. Hardcover. Signed and inscribed by Henry George upon first blank leaf. George 1839-1897 an unknown printer in 1870's San Francisco witnessed the city's evolution from rough encampment to wealthy metropolis while at the same time observing the emergence of pauperism. He endeavored to discover why wealth grew simultaneously with poverty and after years of study produced this book determining that a single tax on land value was the solution. Once early publishing difficulties were overcome sales of the book skyrocketed into the millions internationally exceeding all titles other than the bible in the 1890s. As a result the Single Tax Movement was founded and George soon became the third most famous American behind only Thomas Edison and Mark Twain. George inscribed this copy to Wm. B. Scott with whom he worked at The Standard a weekly single-tax newspaper George founded and published from 1887 to 1890.

RARE FIRST EDITION OF ONE OF THE GREAT MODERN CLASSICS OF ECONOMICS IT WAS IN THESE COURSES THAT PARETO BEGAN HIS DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT OF 'PARETO EFFICIENCY' WHICH HELPED CREATE THE FIELD OF MICROECONOMICS AND CHANGED ECONOMICS FROM A PHILOSOPHICAL STUDY TO A PRACTICAL ONE.<br> In 1893 Pareto succeeded Léon Walras to the chair of Political Economy at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland where he remained for the rest of his life. He was he first to discover that income follows a power-law probability distribution of wealth in a society fitting the trend that a large portion of wealth is held by a small fraction of the population the 'Pareto distribution'.<br> Pareto's legacy in the study of economist is profound. Much in response to his efforts the economics evolved from a branch of moral philosophy as viewed by Adam Smith into a data intensive field of scientific research and mathematical equations. F.

Soule 1801-1870 was the French-born New Orleans attorney and Louisiana Senator.<p>The lawyer involved in these 4 cases Gustave Louis Chaix d'Est-Ange 1800 - 1876 was the son of the attorney general at the court of criminal justice of Reims. As a lawyer his oratorical talent was noted at the Paris bar where he practiced. He was entrusted with a number of important cases and from 1842-1844 was president of the Paris Bar Association.<p>1 Plaidoyer et réplique de Me Chaix-d'Est-Ange dans le procès d'Émile de La Roncière précédés d'une Note de M. le lieutenant-général Clément de la Roncière d'Esquisse préliminaire de M. Eugène Roch et d'une lettre de M. Émile de La Roncière adressée à "l'Observateur des tribunaux". Paris: De L'Imprimerie De Dezauche 1835. The sensational trial of Emile de La Ronciere 1803 - 1874 was most recently memorialized by John Fowles in his novel "The French Lieutenant's Woman". In chapter 28 of the novel he discusses the trial of the young cavalry officer who was accused of raping Marie the sixteen-year-old daughter of his commanding General Baron de Morell. The trial itself revolved around a series of anonymous letters threatening the Morell family and signed "E. de La R.". La Ronciere was found guilty and sentenced to ten years in prison. The verdict was controversial and has been debated for many years. In the pamphlet at hand is included the text of a letter to the l'Observateur des Tribunaux written by La Ronciere's father Clement de La Ronciere on August 25 1835 and one written by the imprisoned La Ronciere himself on September 10 1835. These are followed by a preliminary outline by Eugene Roch. The text from the trial is based on reporting in l'Observateur des Tribunaux journal des documens judiciaires. It begins with the plea of La Ronciere's attorney Chaix d'Est-Ange. Although misbound later in this collection of pamphlets facsimiles of items used as evidence in the trial are included. These include 4 folding facsimiles on which are printed 8 samples of handwriting of La Ronciere and of Marie de Morell. Also included on a fifth folding plate is a remarkable plan of the home of the Morells with a view of the floor where Marie's room was located.<p>2 Plaidoyer de Me Chaix-d'Est-Ange pour M. le ministre du Commerce et des Travaux publics intervenant contre M. Victor Hugo. Paris: Imprimerie De Pihan Delaforest 1832. Victor Hugo's play "Le Roi s'amuse" was the basis for the libretto of Verdi's opera Rigoletto. The opening of the play on November 22 1832 was highly anticipated. The opening night box office receipts were an enormous success but the play was not. Both the audience and the critic's responses were negative. However the most devastating response came from the Minister of the Interior. He saw the play as an attack on the royal family and ordered it suspended i.e. banned. In the Charter of 1830 censorship was stipulated to "never be re-established". This conflict led to a trial on December 19 1832. Odilon Barrot represented Hugo and Chaix d'Est-Ange represented the Ministry of Commerce. He took the unpopular stand that the State had the authority to examine dramatic works before production. His plea is published here. Hugo lost this free-speech debate and the play was banned for 50 years.<p>3 Plaidoyer de M. Chaix d'Est-Ange pour le sieur Auguste Labauve et les sieur et dame Formage plaignans et parties civiles contre Frédéric Benoît accusé. Paris: Imprimerie De Pihan Delaforest Morinval 1832. A VIVID ACCOUNT OF MATRICIDE! Frederic Benoit 1810 - 1832 known as "Le Parricide" was executed by the guillotine at the Place St. Jaques in the 14th arrondisement of Paris on August 30 1832. The story of Benoit's killing of his mother in November 1829 and that of his male lover seventeen-year-old Joseph Formage on July 22 1831 is well documented and need not be repeated here. In this civil plea of June 14 1832 on behalf of the butcher Auguste Labauve and also on behalf of Joseph Formage's parents Chaix d'Est-Ange outdoes himself in painting with vibrant colors the slaughter by Benoit of his own mother. Labauve was the second victim of this crime. In January of 1830 an anonymous letter was found threatening Benoit's father a justice of the peace as well as Labauve with the same fate as that of Madame Benoit. The letter was said to be in the hand of Labauve. He was brought to trial for murder and was acquitted by a divided jury. However he was sentenced to a 5 year prison term for having written the threatening letter.<p>4 Procès fait à la lettre adressée au duc d'Orléans par Cauchois-Lemaire. Paris: Delangle Freres Libraires 1828. In December 1827 the editor of the Constitutionnel Louis Francois Auguste Cauchois-Lemaire 1789 - 1861 published a notorious 69 page pamphlet "Sur la crise actuelle lettre a S.A.R. le duc d'Orleans". The pamphlet addressed to Louis-Philippe the Duke of Orleans was a powerful attack on the ultra-royalist government of Joseph de Villele and a denunciation of the so-called "massacre" that took place on the rue Saint-Denis on July 27 1827. Cauchois-Lemaire concludes his essay paraphrasing the French "Thus liberty awaits the day which should let it emerge from its prison. And we who are tired of the long wait together we call for a favorable star to hasten it." The result was that Cauchois-Lemaire was accused of trying to persuade the duc d'Orleans the "favorable star" to lead the opposition to the government and have it overthrown. He and the two publishers Ponthieu and Schubart were brought to trial on January 12 1828. Cauchois-Lemaire was sentenced to 15 months in La Force prison in addition to a fine. In defense of Cauchois-Lemaire Chaix d'Est-Ange given that the facts of the matter were difficult to vindicate delivered a brilliant thesis on constitutional law. The press at the time praised his eloquence. Cauchois-Lemaire himself was so impressed that he wrote Delangle Freres from prison on January 28 1828 requesting that they publish a transcript of the trial. That letter together with the proceedings of the trial are published here. Paris: impr. Dezanche, and impr. Pihan Delaforest, and Delangle Freres, 1828-1835. unknown

1899313a1213Chicago: W.B. Conkey Company. Good. 1899. First Edition. Hardcover. 483 pages. "In this volume the author endeavors to give an accurate history of the present National Bank System of currency including an account of the first United States Bank - both of which were borrowed from Great Britain by those statesmen who like the father of Sir Robert Peel believed that a national debt was the source of prosperity. It is believed that the facts adduced in the following pages will be productive of some good in pointing out the immense evils lurking in that system of banking - a system which has produced panics at will and which is the active abettor of the stock gamblers railroad wreckers and those industrial tyrants of modern times the enormously overcapitalized and oppressive trusts. It is sought to point out the great dangers of delegating purely government powers to these greedy monopolists by which they are enabled to organize a money trust far more tyrranical than all the other combinations now in existence; and by which they absolutely defy the authority that endowed them with corporate life." - from Introduction.
