Exemplaire d'auteur (?) 1- Édition originale et unique de ce projet de réformes politiques, économiques et administratives, donné sous forme d'un voyage imaginaire utopique: un naufragé aborde le pays des Sérosages… Planche gravée en regard de la p. 531, qui figure un curieux: "Tableau de culture, pendant vingt-quatre ans". L'originalité du projet, par ailleurs inspiré des idéaux physiocratiques, réside en ce que l'auteur, en disciple de Rousseau, fait reposer son modèle sur l'hypothèse anthropologique d'une bonté originelle de l'homme et sur un principe d’autorité fondé sur celui de la famille. Ainsi, le narrateur s'adresse-t-il au roi Alcidor pour préconiser prioritairement l'éradication des vices inhérents à la société avant toute réforme structurelle: "Sire , en détruisant le luxe, les moeurs s'épurent d'eux-mêmes , les villes se débarrassent, les campagnes se repeuplent, les terres se défrichent, la population augmente, l'émulation renaît, la circulation se rétablit, le Royaume devient un Paradis terrestre & Votre Majesté verra sous son règne un second âge d'or" (p. 696). (Goldsmiths, 10717. Higgs, 5385. INED, 3938. Kress, 6818. Weller, II, p. 188). 2- Édition originale. L'auteur soumet, sous forme de dictionnaire philosophique classé par article, un vade-mecum des idéaux économiques, politiques et sociaux fondés sur le populationnisme, la défense de l'agriculture et la liberté du commerce. On y trouve des articles sur l'accouchement, l'adoption, l'adultère, l'agriculture, les banqueroutes, le cadastre, le célibat, les courtisanes, le divorce, la famine, les fêtes, l'hôpital, les loteries, les salaires... "Très varié et fort intéressant. Théories sur l'excellence de la population et de l'agriculture, sur la nécessité de modérer l'industrie, sur les dangers du luxe, des colonies, etc." (cf. longue analyse in INED, 3937 sq.). (Goldsmiths, 10955. Higgs, 5646. Kress, 6975). Homme des Lumières, acquis aux idées physiocratiques, Gaspard Louis Rouillé d'Orfeuil (1732-1791) devint conseiller, puis maître des requêtes au parlement de Paris, président au Grand Conseil, intendant de La Rochelle, puis de Champagne. Tenu en grande estime par Diderot, il a laissé une réputation "d'intendant modèle". Exemplaire de l'auteur, sans doute, comportant deux rajouts manuscrits repliés en marge (p. 136 et 320) et une petite correction (p. 513). Les pièces d'auteur aux dos portent "L'Ami des Francois".

In-8 (185 x 124 mm), demi-chagrin rouge, dos orné de filets estampés à froid surlignés de filets dorés, titre doré (rel. vers 1850), 194 p. faux-titre, titre, sommaire et errata compris, portrait gravé en frontispice. Edition originale, comportant la mention factice de "seconde édition" au titre, exemplaire bien complet de son feuillet d'errata. Portrait frontispice gravé de J.-B. Carrier. "Dans cet ouvrage publié à l'occasion du procès de J.-B. Carrier, l'auteur des noyades et massacres de Nantes, Gracchus Babeuf, père du communisme, soulève la question de la nature de la répression perpétrée par la Convention en Vendée. Ce livre doublement révolutionnaire, par son contenu et par son titre, se présente comme un réquisitoire très documenté et d'une incroyable modernité contre la politique dictatoriale menée par les Conventionnels et Robespierre" (Ed. du Cerf). Babeuf démontre que la guerre de Vendée est une guerre d'extermination, de destruction des personnes et des biens et dénonce un plan secret ourdi par Robespierre visant à réguler le rapport entre le nombre d'hommes et les ressources disponibles: le territoire français ne pouvant nourrir l'ensemble de sa population, il faudrait, par le biais de la Vendée, se débarrasser de la part excédentaire de cette population "surnuméraire". L'auteur forge le terme de "populicide" et dessine les contours de ce que le XXe siècle qualifiera de "génocide". (Monglond, III, 327. Martin & Walter, 949. Dommanget, 'Babeuf', n°17).

2 ouvrages reliés en un volume in-8, plein veau marbré de l'époque, dos lisse orné de compartiments fleuronnés, pièce de titre de maroquin bordeaux, filet d'encadrement à froid sur les plats, tranches marbrées bleues. 1- Edition originale et unique. Dans cette étude pionnière en matière de démographie scientifique, l’auteur analyse les causes de l’effondrement de la population française sur les bases de données statistiques: guerres, entretien des colonies, émigration, célibat (prêtres, soldats), prison, enfermement et peine de mort, maladies, etc. Il propose des mesures pour renverser cette tendance. L’ouvrage est le premier à élaborer l’indicateur de "taux net de reproduction". Le livre a été condamné au feu par arrêt du parlement le 28 février 1769. (Einaudi, n° 979. I.N.E.D., n°1017. Kress, 6531. Rocquain, p. 529. Spengler, p. 94-96). 2- Edition originale de cet ouvrage d’inspiration physiocratique. "Rallié à la cause physiocratique, l’auteur préconise l’abolition des Fermes et propose de rétablir l’égalité au moyen d’un impôt unique perçu sans arbitraire par les communautés elles-mêmes" (Stourm). À la suite de cet écrit "qui fit grand bruit", Darigrand fut emprisonné à la Bastille. (INED, 1276. Kress, 6086. Goldsmiths, 9873. Weulersse, 'Physiocratie', I, p. XXVI). Provenance: un comité local de la CGT, avec tampon (ca 1900). Petit accroc à la coiffe supérieure et aux coins. Très bon exemplaire.

In-12, plein veau marbré de l'époque, dos à 5 nerfs guillochés or, orné de compartiments fleuronnés et cloisonnés, (2), ij, ij, 292 p., 2 tableaux statistiques à pleine page. Première édition française de ‘Dissertation on the Numbers of Mankind in Ancient and Modern Times', traduit par le chevalier de Jaucourt, peut-être sous la supervision de Montesquieu, publiée un an après l'originale anglaise. Le traducteur, Louis de Jaucourt (1704 -1780), était un collaborateur savant, prolifique et assidu de l'Encyclopédie de Diderot et D'Alembert. Dans l’article "France" de l’Encyclopédie, il affirma hautement que "les provinces se dépeuplent excessivement". L'une des premières grandes spéculations, au XVIIIe siècle, sur l'évolution de la population mondiale, qui ouvrit une controverse entre l'auteur et Hume. S'appuyant sur calculs et statistiques, Wallace réfute les théories sur l'accroissement indéfini de la population en la mettant en relation avec la quantité des subsistances, la nature, la fertilité et le partage des terres, la santé publique, les moeurs, la politique économique des Etats, etc. Il aborde la question de l'optimum de population et traite des moyens d'y parvenir. Cet ouvrage exerça une influence majeure sur Malthus et sur les études démographiques en France. "A limited earth, a limited degree of fertility, and the continual increase of mankind: these are the determinants. Malthus had only to add the ratios!"(K. Smith, 'The Malthusian controversy', p. 22). (Kress, 5408. Einaudi, n°5956. Higgs, 871). Des bibliothèques de M. Fontaine de la Barberie et du Vicomte de Noailles avec leurs ex-libris armoriés gravés. Bel exemplaire, très frais, très bien relié à l'époque.
In-12, plein veau marbré de l'époque, dos à 5 nerfs cloisonnés et fleuronnés, pièce de titre de maroquin bordeaux, filet doré sur les coupes, tranches rouges, (2), xij, 298 p., (1) f. d'errata. Edition originale et unique de cette importante source pour l'histoire de la démographie au XVIIIe, ouvrage auquel Joseph Spengler a consacré un chapitre de son "Economie et population, doctrines françaises…" (éd. INED, PUF, 1954, p.94 sq.). Résolument populationniste, l'auteur analyse les causes économiques et morales de la dépopulation de la France et livre son plan de réformes. Economiste, collaborateur à l'Encyclopédie Diderot-D'Alembert, prêtre du diocèse de Bordeaux, Pierre Jaubert (1715-1780) quitta sa charge pour s'installer à Paris et se consacrer à des travaux historiques et économiques. Michel Foucault a cité cet ouvrage dans son cours au Collège de France: "Sécurité, territoire, population" (1977-1978). (Conlon, 'Siècle des Lumières', 67:953. Goldsmiths'-Kress, n°10298. Higgs, 4197. INED, 2349). Très bon exemplaire, bien relié à l'époque.

Robert Ross (1753-1823) was born in Lancaster, PA, and died in Nicholson Twp, Fayette Co. PA. In 1776 Robert took the oath of allegiance before Col. Miller of Lancaster Co. PA. and enlisted in the Revolutionary War as a private in Capt. James Taylor's company, 4th Penn. Battalion. Ross was regimental color bearer in 1776, under Gen. Anthony Wayne, at the storming of Stony Point (NY). In 1779 at Brandywine and through the Canadian campaign to the close of the war. Robert Ross fought also in the Indian Wars of 1790-1794. Robert Ross was an early settler, of Nicholson Twp. It does not appear that in the early part of the Revolutionary war he was reckoned among the adherents of the patriot cause, but in June, 1779, he took the oath of allegiance to Pennsylvania, and afterwards served to the end of the war under General Wayne. At the close of the struggle he, like thousands of others, was paid the arrears due him for services in Continental money, which was depreciated to one-fortieth of its face value. He afterwards served in the various Indian campaigns in Ohio and Indiana, rising to the rank of captain. In the Whiskey Insurrection of 1794, Capt. Ross was on the side of the insurgents, and commanded a company of about one hundred men of the western and southwestern parts of the county, a part of the (supposed) available force of the insurrectionists to be used in opposition to the government. At the head of this company Capt. Ross marched to Uniontown in August, 1794, to raise the 'liberty poles' in the town, and two miles south of it at Gaddis' place. When Gen. Lee came in with his army to suppress the insurrection, a squadron of cavalry was sent towards the Monogahela for the capture of Robert Ross as insurgent leader, but the expedition was unsuccessful.

In-8, demi-veau de l'époque, dos lisse orné de compartiments fleuronnés (défauts aux coiffes, mors fendillés), viii, 499 p., (3) p. de "notes omises à l'impression", (1) p. d'errata. Edition originale de cet ouvrage que Sénac de Meilhan rédigea pour réfuter Necker et tenter d'obtenir le poste de ministre des Finances. C'est un véritable programme économique, largement influencé par les doctrines physiocratiques, que l'auteur expose au long de ces 47 chapitres qui débordent très largement l'intitulé de l'ouvrage : population, monnaie, 'intérêt de l'argent', 'commerce des blés', 'colonies sur le nouveau continent'… "Sénac avait conçu une sorte de dictionnaire économique (…). S'il se croyait appelé à remplir les fonctions de ministre, il était logique qu'il exposât les principaux articles de son programme" (cf. A. Vielwahr, 'Sénac de Meilhan', p. 69 sq.). L'ouvrage fut reçu favorablement par ses contemporains et contribua à la disgrâce de Necker dans l'opinion. (Goldsmiths, 13327. INED, 4141. Kress, B.1336). Bon exemplaire, très frais.

182 pages including index. Based upon the work of the Medical Research Council Unit for Research on Occupational Aspects of Ageing which was attached to the Department of Psychology at the University of Liverpool between 1959 and 1963. The study of ageing and of comparative function at given ages is of great practical concern and the analyses given here are the product of physical and psychological tests on 540 normal adult subjects from the population of Liverpool and its environs. One of the most useful contributions made by the present study is the compilation of a table of norms of the level of performance which can be expected from people of different ages.
