17598A Paris, Chez la veuve Desaint, 1780. xv, (1), 955, (1, errata), 6 pp. 4to. Contemporary catspaw calf, spine gilt with raised bands, gilt triple fillets on sides, marbled edges, a very nice copy. Kress B.305; Goldsmiths 11963; not in Einaudi; not in INED. First edition of this classic in the history of weights and measures. 'At the aera of its publication this very learned work was universally admitted to be the most complete and important that had appeared on the subjects of which it treats; and though materially affected by the changes which have taken place in the interval, especially the introduction of the metrical system into France, it continues to be held in high estimation. Exclusive of the subjects which properly belong to a treatise on Metrology, it embraces a great variety of curious and profound discussions upon collateral topics, which, though they have added considerably to the bulk, have greatly increased its interest and value' (McCulloch, p. 137).'Ouvrage capital, qui a servi de canevas à tous ceux qui ont paru depuis sur le même sujet. Malgré le nombre prodigieux de Métrologies générales et particulières qu'a fait naitre l'introduction de nouveau système métrique, celle de Paucton et loin d'avoir perdu son utilité: les logarithmes dont il accompagne chacune de ses évaluations donnent le moyen de faire aisément toutes les réductions dont on peut avoir besoin et de reconnaître les fautes d'impression' (Michaud, vol. 32, p. 272).

Contemporary boards, paper label to spine with handwritten title (label with some loss), spine a bit discoloured.

First edition of Justi's most explicit treatise on political philosophy. In this work 'Justi became a theoretician of the proper relation between state and civil society and postulated Polizey (administrative science) as the means of mediating between them. Increasingly, Justi derived state institutions and law not from natural law but from the social processes and individual psychological desires (for survival, self-aggrandizement, and happiness) that he thought animated society. That is, he shifted the foundation for his political philosophy from the state to civil society.Consequently, Justi advocated curtailing the reach of government in economic regulation, to ensure growth and prosperity; in private home, to protect the innocent freedom of individuals; in law, to remove superfluous moral or religious injunctions, and in censorship, to encourage the development of enlightened public opinion. (.....) Justi did describe the outlines of a liberal future by calling for the separation of powers, the principle of private property, major legal reform, and an independent judiciary (though his legal recommendations were less developed than those of many of his contemporaries), an economy liberalized for expansion, a temperate state, and an active sphere of public opinion. More remarkably, Justi anticipated many of the basic liberal assumptions regarding public and private domains, gender, sexuality, and education that were fully developed only in the nineteenth century. (.....) Perhaps Justi's greatest practical achievement was making cameral political theory accessible to literate Germans and thus helping to create a public capable of criticizing government on behalf of a civil society whose active sovereignty he only haltingly admitted' (Isabel V. Hull in: Encycopedia of the Enlightenment, vol. ii, pp 324-5). - A very nice copy, some scattered spotting, title-page lightly browned, entirely uncut.
27210A Bruxelles, 1779. xiv, 776, (2, errata, blank), 10 pp. 4to. Contemporary calf, spine gilt with raised bands, red label with gilt lettering, marbled edges, some minor blemishes to binding. Kress B.175; Goldsmiths 11860; Einaudi 207; INED 137; Quérard, La France Littéraire, i, p. 126; Dupin/Camus 954bis, pointing to the fact that this work is only complete with the 10 pages supplement, as is the case here; Le Bucher bibliographique, 114. Very rare only edition and suppressed by the Cour des Aides in February 1779 because it was considered contrary to the authority of the Court, it lacked respect for its decisions and it violated the confidentiality of the decisions. This precious and scarce volume, which was not available on the market and which was suppressed in 1779, contains the work of Malesherbes during his tenure in office at the Cour des Aides, that is, the work of 25 years: the reports of the sessions of the Cour des Aides and the remonstrances. It was published with tacit permission and did not contain, in the first instance, those pleas in which Malerherbes addressed the king in quite frank language. These withheld texts were shortly thereafter nevertheless printed and inserted and they form the indispensible 10 page supplement at the end of the volume.The Court des Aides was suppressed, together with the Parliaments, by Maupeou in his attempt at reform; it played, under Malesherbes, a significient role of opposition to what the Court considered to be "royal arbitrariness" and basically shared the "constitutionalist" ideology common to most members of the Grande Robe. The Court was suppressed in 1771 and re-instated in 1774: Malesherbes was recalled to Paris with the reconstituted Cour des Aides on the accession of Louis XVI; it was at this point that he spearheaded the famous 1775 Remontrances of the cour des aides, which detailed the problems facing the regime and envisioned a total overhaul of fiscal policy. Louis XVI was so impressed with the plan -and fearful for the future of his government- that Malesherbes was appointed minister of the maison du roi in 1775. He held office as a royal minister only nine months; the Court proved intransigent in its opposition to his proposals for fiscal restraint and other reforms, including curtailing the arbitrary issuance of lettres de cachet, and he soon found himself bereft of political support. He resigned together with Turgot in 1776.- Pages 71-72 bound between pages 66-67, and with the pages 71-72 bis present, 457-8 omitted in numbering, numbers 465-66 used twice, but text complete.
