Un volume in 12o di (4)-8-479 pagine. Legatura coeva in pelle, difetti al dorso, crrniere ed angoli, con vecchie macchie d'umido. Edizione sconosciuta alla Bnf. Si tratta probabilmente di una contraffazione della 3° ed. Nella Tavola dei capitoli si indica una Idée générale de la Taille tariffée a p. XV: ma nell’esemplare, peraltro completo, non c’è alcuna introduzione cifrata con numeri romani (come invece nell’altra edizione della stessa data). Dell’importanza di questa opera del Saint Pierre nella storia della fiscalità e dell'economia in Francia, vedi Mireille Tauzery, L’invention de l’impot sur le revenu. La taille tarifée 1715-89.: “Le livre connait une réedition en 1739, augmentée à la lumière de la réforme du controleur général Orry”.

Only little is known about the Abbot Corbière. He was born in 1803 in Saint Lieux Lafenasse and at the age of 25 joined the "Societas Presbyterorum a S. Sulpitio", a move which had a great influence on his life thereafter. In 1945 he published "Le Guide de la conscience. Ouvrage contenant les divers traités de la morale chrétienne et des sacraments, à l'usage des simples fidèles." He died in 1865. For more on Corbière's life, and comments on his contribution to economic thought, see "Corbière und die soziale Theorie in der katholischen Kirche des 19. Jahrhunderts" by Gerhard Merk (Die Neue Ordnung" Vol. 20, 1966). Rare. OCLC 36957989 locates only 6 copies worldwide. KVK locates just one copy, that in the British Library.

271 pages. Index. Author was "the man upon whom fell the brunt of piloting Germany through the financial dangers of 1923 to 1929. It was the historic German financial collapse of 1923 that first brought Dr. Schacht into prominence. In November of that year he was made the Imperial Currency Commissioner with the specific purpose of stemming the nation's hyperinflation. This book is one of the best contributions yet made to an understanding of post-War difficulties in finance and economics. In particular, Chapter XIII, on 'The Socialist System,' contains a warning for Great Britain which can hardly fail to make a profound impression." - Introduction. Modicum of library markings. Binding sound. Moderate foxing, primarily to fore- and bottom edges. Above-average but not excessive overall wear. Dust jacket now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. A sound copy.

6 yearly issues, (1799, 8pp; 1800, 8pp; 1801, 8pp; 1802, 8pp; 1806, 12pp; 1808, 12pp.), stitched as issued, browning and spotting as a result of the rather poor quality paper, corners worn with some loss but not to text, one or two small tears (the 1802 issue rather more so). By their very nature, these ephemeral almanacs are very rare; they were intended for issue within the year of printing and then to be thrown away. Printed on poor quality paper, they are susceptible to browning and general wear as is the case with these. Contents include: Geographical description of the world; dimensions of Scotland, England, and Ireland; a very useful table for calculating servants' wages, etc.

"A fascinating exploration of four great inflationary eras of tumult - why they arose - who caused them - how family fortunes survived or were destroyed... What happens when hyperinflation sweeps across an entire society? Whom does it threaten most and whom does it benefit? And when, finally, the authorities act - why do the politicians and the bureaucrats invariably delay until after the value of an entire currency has been totally destroyed?" - dust jacket. 308 pages. Index. Book clean and unmarked with light wear. Above-average wear to dust jacket which bears tape repairs and has had some portions peeled from its front panel and colored/written in.

In about fine condition (old ownership stamp to endpaper, some pencil marking to title). Overall an excellent copy. ~ First edition. "During the last generation, American readers of German appear to have relied, as a rule, for information about early phases of German economic thought, chiefly upon two writers, Kautz ("Die Geschichtliche Entwickelung der National-Oekonomik und ihrer Literatur") and Roscher. Of Kautz, it is enough to say that he was of the rear guard of the rhetoricians. His book is wonderfully plausible, if not lucid, reading. Its early pages appear to express methodological conclusions which the maturest scholarship has not superseded." - Albion W. Small, "The Cameralists: The Pioneers of German Social Polity" (1909).

Un volume in 8° di (28)-806-(12) pagine. Piena pergamena del tempo, difettosa: una piegatura al dorso che coinvolge tutto il volume. Tracce di legacci. Gore chiare. Firma di appartenenza Girard 1652, con qualche nota e sottolineatura seicentesche - TERZA EDIZIONE del Tractatus (Einaudi 1684) - La firma di appartenenza Girard e le note sono probabilmente di Guillaume Girard, scrittore francese morto nel 1663, che fu amico e curatore delle opere di Balzac ed operò nella cerchia del duca di Eperon per il quale scrisse nel 1655 una "Histoire de la vie du Duc d'Eperon". Altra sua opera notevole: "Apologie pour M. de Beaufort contre la cour, la noblesse et le peuple".

This work is a translation of Court's "Aanwissing der heilsams politike Gronden en Maximen van de Republike van Holland", of 1699, which is in turn is an unauthorised revision and enlargement of his "Interest van Holland." of 1662. This translation wrongly attributes the work to Johan de Witt. The work had been circulated in manuscript and was published, without de la Court's permission, by de Witt "without doubt one of the greatest, if not the greatest statesman of his age"- Palgrave.

Set in Gothic type. Bound in later stiff wrappers with flaps, typed title-labels to cover and spine. In about fine condition (light coloured pencil annotation to 2-3 pages). Excellent copy. ~ Fourth edition. Published originally as two separate works, part I, II, III, and IV under the title "Die Verwirklichung des Rechtes auf den vollen Arbeitsertrag (.)" (1906); and part V under the title "Die neue Lehre vom Geld und Zins (.)" (1911). It appeared later as second edition in one volume with the title "Die natürliche Wirtschaftsordnung". English version, "The Natural Economic Order" translated from the 6th German edition by Philip Pye, appeared in 1929. Silvio Gesell (1862-1930), German businessman. Born in Belgium, Gesell emigrated to Buenos Aires, where he successfully engaged in business. In 1914 he returned to Germany and became, five years later, finance minister in the short-lived government of Bavaria. His ideas in "Die natürliche Wirtschaftsordnung" are a reaction against Marxian socialism. Keynes, in his "General Theory", gives much space to the book, and expresses his belief that the future would learn more from the spirit of Gesell than from that of Marx. (Mai, P. 95).
