Adam Clarke (1762-1832) was an Irish born Wesleyan divine. He is probably best known for his Bibliographical Dictionary and commentary on the Bible, but I believe that his first published work is his Dissertation on the Use and Abuse of Tobacco. This was a popular anti-tobacco tract which was also reprinted several times during his life. It was one of the bitterest attacks on the habit, and became the textbook of the oppositionists. The work highlights the respiratory and muscular risks of using tobacco, and tells of the results of tests carried out on pigeons and a cat.

24696(Paris, De l'Imprimerie de la Veuve Ballard & Fils, 1780). Three pieces in one volume. 30 pp; 20 pp; 4 pp. 4to. Modern half morocco, marbled boards, gilt lettering to spine. First editions. These three pieces of this trial are for the most part by Prevost de Saint-Lucien who greatly promoted the idea of charitable institutions. The trial itself deals with the freedom of poor marchants to sell their goods at designated places and illuminate their small tables with candles. Some responsible for maintaining order thought that this form of illumination of the small table and selling goods should be suppressed although a royal decree allowed the merchants to earn a living. Notes and copies of the relevant decrees etc. are included as printed notes. - Two leaves with a small repair in the inner blank margin.
19238(Paris, Imprimerie de l'Assemblée Nationale, 1848). 3 volumes in one. 376 pp.; 335, (1) pp.; 254 (misnumbered 252) pp. 4to. Contemporary red half morocco, corners, marbled boards, spine gilt with gilt lettering, top edge gilt. Bibliothèque Nationale. La Révolution de 1848, 866. Original edition. The events of May 15 deal with a large demonstration mounted by Parisian clubists and workers to pressure the Assembly to send troops to the aid of Poland which escalated into an invasion of the Assembly and the proclamation of a New Provisional Government, including Louis Blanc and other leftists. But the Executive Commission soon dispersed the demonstrators, arrested the most popular leaders -including Albert, Barbès and Blanqui- and suppressed many of the clubs. Draconian laws prohibited street gatherings, consequent mass arrests, and the Assembly's hostility to social reform created a situation electric with fear and anger. This was precipitated into insurrection by the Assembly's decision on 21 June to slash the rolls of the National Workshops. For four days, an unprecedented civil war tore the city in two. The June uprising started with several large gatherings at the Place de la Bastille and at the Pantheon on 22 June and the morning of June 23 and were followed by the erection of hundreds of barricades throughout eastern Paris. The June days then were an insurrection of Parisian workers against the government of the Second Republic which was crushed by the army in the bloodiest street figthing in Paris before the Commune of 1871. Alexis de Tocqueville noted the working-class character in the insurrection, and Karl Marx called the June Days the first great class struggle between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. Very valuable source. The rapports contain a.o.: Documents relatifs à Louis Blanc. - Documents relatifs à M. Caussidiére. - Documents relatifs à l'affaire de Belgique. - Actes du Gouvernement provisoire. - Documents sur les Clubs. - Ateliers nationaux. - Documents fournis par les préfectures, etc. The leading man of this 'Commission d'Enquête' was A. Bauchart who was vehemently attacked by Victor Hugo and Louis Blanc. A major and fundamental source for the 1848 revolution. - Quire 10 in the third volume disbound but complete.

Un volume in 8vo di (7)-477 pagine. Legatura coeva difettosa, usurata soprattutto al dorso, dove compare un 1 di tomagione. Spesso infatti questa edizione si accompagnava con un secondo volume, contenente lo sviluppo delle polemiche sollecitate dall'opera, volume peraltro a se stante e sovente di diverso stampatore. La prima edizione è del 1714, cui seguirono alcune ristampe. Nel 1723 apparve la “seconda edizione” allargata. Altre aggiunte si ritrovano cinque anni dopo nella quinta edizione: nello stesso anno ne venne pubblicata un'edizione in due volumi. “Mandeville's central theme is that public benefits are the product of private vices and not of private virtues” (New Palgrave). Una delle opere-chiave di tutta la storia del pensiero economico.
EO. Edizione originale. In 8o di 375 pagine. INVIO dell'autore alla pagina di titolo. Brossura editoriale (un po' sporca). In questo saggio il libero scambio viene prima interpretato dal punto di vista filosofico e dei principi; si passa poi ad un esame delle conseguenze concrete dell'applicazione di un regime di libero scambio. Risultato: secondo Gouraud si tratta di un'utopia potenzialmente pericolosa.
Small octavo. Pp. iv, 356. Half-title present. Hardcover, bound in contemporary tree full calf, gilt crimson morocco lettering-piece to spine, gilt fleurons, gilt ruled edges, marbled endpapers, cloth ribbon marker; minor sporadic spotting, corner-tips trifle rubbed. An excellent copy. ~ First separate edition. SIGNED by the Publisher Lévi on verso of half-title. Originally published in 1804 as part of "Eléments d'idéologie", the work was titled "Traité de la volonté". (Palgrave 1894-1901). Antoine Louis Claude, Comte Destutt de Tracy (1754-1836), French senator, philosopher, and economist. An important intellectual leader during the time of Napoleon, he had been a member of the States-General (1789) and the Senate. Besides philosophical works influenced by Condillac, he wrote "Traité d'économie politique", his only major work on economics. Production meant for him a change in form or place. Value, he said, must be expressed in units of value, but he himself did not recommend a specific unit of measurement. (Mai, p. 70). Thomas Jefferson made the American people acquainted with Destutt de Tracy's work through his translation of the unpublished French original. Revised and corrected by himself, it was published as "A Treatise on Political Economy" (Georgetown, Joseph Milligan, 1817). Goldsmith 23731. Kress C.1051. Einaudi 1547. A most attractive copy.
