‎TURGOT, Anne Robert Jacques (trans); TUCKER, Josiah‎

‎Questions importantes sur le commerce‎

‎London i.e Paris: Fletcher Gyles 1755. Turgot's first work First edition in French of the second part of Tucker's Reflections on the Expediency of a Law for the Naturalization of Foreign Protestants 1752 translated by Turgot in his first published piece on economics. Tucker wrote the first part of his tract in 1751 in support of Robert Nugent's bill to relax British naturalisation laws against foreign protestants a bill which had had a stormy passage and subsequently failed. It was in the present second part published the following year in which Tucker "developed the established theory that a concentrated industrious population generated economic success. The opposition to the naturalization bill was generated he believed by both bigotry and entrenched monopolistic vested self-interest" ODNB. Turgot's translation of this part of the treatise was appended with his own notes which are significant for several reasons: "in the first place because several of this notes once more reveal at this still early stage of his career the tremendous importance of free competition and free trade in the development of Turgot's economic thought. Further they reveal the fact that thanks to Gournay Turgot's economics came under the influence of English economics to a far greater extent than that of his French contemporaries who were followers of Quesnay" Groenewegen The Economics of A. R. J. Turgot p. xiv. Turgot is also known to have later translated another of Tucker's works on trade wars but his translation was not published and is now lost. Duodecimo 185 x 107 mm. Uncut in original marbled wrappers. Housed in a custom blue cloth box blue morocco label to spine. Half-title present. 20th-century bookplate to inner front cover. Spine backing absent possibly as issued the expected fraying around peripheries. A remarkable survival in the original state in exceptional condition. ESTC T135323. hardcover‎

‎TURGOT, Anne Robert Jacques‎

‎Réflexions sur la formation et la distribution des richesses.‎

‎No place: no printer 1788. Wealth in the ancien regime First edition in book form of Turgot's most substantial work a milestone in the history of economic thought and a major influence on Adam Smith. Réflexions is a wide-ranging study of the production and distribution of wealth in the ancien régime drawing on Turgot's experience as chief administrator of Limoges. While the work shares several concepts with the Wealth of Nations including the division of labour Turgot goes beyond Smith in his absolute insistence on minimal government intervention in market forces. Turgot's conclusions that land is the source of wealth accord with those of the physiocrats; it was only his repugnance to all "sects" that kept him from the inner circle of the school. The editor of this posthumous edition is unknown although Condorcet and Du Pont are known to have republished several of Turgot's major economic writings at this time. The Réflexions were written in 1766 and serialized in the Ephémérides du Citoyen from 1769 to 1770. Octavo 195 x 119 mm. Engraved vignette to title page head- and tailpieces. Recent red quarter morocco smooth spine lettered in gilt marbled paper sides. Small ink numerals to half-title and title page. Slight bowing to boards minor browning and foxing to endpapers and contents: a very good copy.

‎Turgot, Michel Etienne‎

‎Plan de Paris Commence l'Annee 1734. Dessine et Grave sous les Ordres de Messire Michel Etienne Turgot. Acheve de Graver en 1739‎

‎Paris 1739. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Turgot's Monumental Plan of Paris With Excellent Provenance. Elephant Folio 56.5 x 45.5 cm. A magnificent and complete example of the celebrated Plan de Paris commonly known as the Turgot Map housed in a handsome contemporary red Morocco binding with gilt borders spine compartments and bands. The arms of the city of Paris are gilt-stamped to both boards. Neatly rebacked; light rubbing and minor scuffing to the leather. Internally excellent: the sheets are remarkably bright clean and free from repair or loss with only some very faint marginal staining and a couple of spots throughout and the large folding spread with some light discolouration to a couple of the folded corners. Includes the full set of 20 engraved sheets with sheets 18 and 19 joined at the center and folded as issued. The title appears within the ornate cartouche on the key map. A small bookseller's ticket from the famed French antiquarian Pierre Berès is affixed to the upper fore-edge corner of the front paste-down. This is a superbly preserved example of one of the most extraordinary cartographic accomplishments of the 18th century. Commissioned in 1734 under the direction of Michel Étienne Turgot then Prévôt des Marchands Provost of the Merchants of Paris and a senior official in Louis XV's administration the map was designed to glorify the French capital as the political cultural and architectural heart of the kingdom. Louis Bretez a skilled draftsman and member of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture was granted exclusive access to the interiors courtyards and rooftops of the city. Working in a dramatic bird's-eye axonometric perspective Bretez rendered the streets gardens landmarks and even individual buildings in intricate three-dimensional detail. The engravings were executed by Claude Lucas and the full project was completed in 1739 resulting in a masterwork of urban representation. Unlike conventional maps the Turgot Plan was conceived not merely as a geographic tool but as a grand artistic vision: part city portrait part political statement. It remains an unrivaled view of Paris under the Ancien Régime just decades before the French Revolution would transform the urban and social landscape. Widely distributed across France and to the royal courts of Europe the Turgot Map was intended to impress dignitaries scholars and ambassadors alike with the power and refinement of the French capital. Today complete copies in such fine condition are exceedingly scarce. This example with its contemporary binding and provenance would be a great addition for any serious collection of cartography Parisiana or French Enlightenment-era printing. Provenance: A Montreal family purchased from Christie's Canada with Montreal Book Auctions 1970. The Property of the Hon. Madame Georges P. Vanier. With a letter from the auction house and a letter from Parisian dealer Pierre Beres addressed to the buyer confirming this as the copy he sold to General Charles de Gaulle to present to the Governor General Vanier. hardcover‎
