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.

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.
