‎COURNOT, Augustin‎

‎Researches into the Mathematical Principles of the Theory of Wealth by Augustin Cournot 1838. Translated by Nathaniel T. Bacon with an Essay on Cournot and mathematical Economics and a Bibliography of Mathematical Economics by Irving Fisher [ Inscribed : "G. H Bousquet Don d'Irving Fisher" ]‎

‎8vo, The Macmillan Company, New York, 1927, xxiv-213 pp. with a folding plate. Rappel du titre complet : Researches into the Mathematical Principles of the Theory of Wealth by Augustin Cournot 1838. Translated by Nathaniel T. Bacon with an Essay on Cournot and mathematical Economics and a Bibliography of Mathematical Economics by Irving Fisher [ Inscribed : "G. H Bousquet Don d'Irving Fisher" ]‎

‎From Irving Fisher's library. Joseph Schumpeter described him as "the greatest economist the United States has ever produced". Good (waterstains on cover, a few manuscript annotations by G. H. Bousquet). Annotation manuscrite en garde : "G. H. Bousquet Don d'Irving Fisher" [ unidentified manuscript indication in french : Gift from Irving Fisher ]. Le professeur Georges-H. Bousquet (1900-1978) fut notamment professeur aux facultés d'Alger puis de Bordeaux. Juriste de formation initiale (docteur en droit en 1923 avec une thèse sur "L'évolution sociale en Hollande 1914-1922"), il devint un spécialiste de questions économiques, proche de Pareto et Schumpeter, ainsi qu'un islamisant de l'école de Goldziher et Snouck-Hugronje. Il fut proche de son maître en sociologie Vilfredo Pareto, dont il servit fortement la pensée, avec lequel il échangea une correspondance et qu'il rencontra, en Suisse.En septembre 1923, à Vienne et par l'intermédiaire de Paul Lazarsfeld, il fut présenté à son autre maître et ami Joseph Schumpeter. "A ce moment, Schumpeter avait 40 ans. Il était alors totalement ignoré en France, mais connu aux Etats-Unis où il avait été invité à professer quelque temps, et en Angleterre, où il avait eu également l'occasion de se faire entendre". Georges Bousquet sera fasciné par l'oeuvre de Schumpeter, qu'il fera notamment découvrir, tant par ses articles que par les discussions, à l'économiste François Perroux. Dans les années 1933-1934, les Bousquet et Schumpeter seront en contact permanent à Harvard, où Schumpeter était devenu professeur, et ou G.-H. Bousquet avait été envoyé faire un séjour de recherche, avec le soutien de la fondation Rockfeller. C'est à cette occasion que Bousquet rencontre Irving Fisher (1867-1947), l'un des premiers économistes américains de l'école néoclassique. On peut signaler que G.-H. Bousquet est l'un des quelques économistes français contemporains à être plusieurs fois cité par Schumpeter dans sa monumentale Histoire de l’Analyse Economique.‎

‎A Treatise on The Law of War, being The First Book of his Quaestiones Juris Publici [ From the library of Caesar Augustus Rodney, US Attorney General]‎

‎Translated from the original Latin of Cornelius Van Bynkershoek, 1 vol. 8vo, original full leather binding, Published by Farrand & Nicholas, Philadelphia, also by Farrand, Mallory & co, Boston, P. H. Nicklin & Co, Baltimore, D. Farrand & Green, Albany; Lyman, Mallory & Co, Portland, and Swift & Chipman, Middlebury, Fry and Kammerer, Printers, 1810, 1 f. blanc, 1 f. n. ch., xxxiv-218 pp. , pp. 249-251 (Index from another book) et 1 f. blanc‎

‎Very good copy in its contemporary binding (slighlty rubbed, foxing) coming from Caesar Augusts Rodney' library (contemporary signature of C.A. Rodney on title page, and 4 autograph lines written by "C.A.Rodney A.G." to "William Lee"). Caesar Augustus Rodney (1772 – 1824) was an American lawyer and politician from Wilmington, Delaware.Member of the Democratic-Republican Party, he served in the Delaware General Assembly, as well as a U.S. Representative and Senator, and became U.S. Attorney General (A.G.) on January 20, 1807, named by President Thomas Jefferson. Unhappy about being passed over for a U.S. Supreme Court appointment, he resigned on December 1811. During the War of 1812, he was captain of a rifle corps which became the Delaware 1st Artillery then served at Fort Union in Wilmington, on the Canadian frontier, and assisted in the defense of Baltimore in 1814. He was the nephew of Caesar Rodney who was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. This title, translated by Du Ponceau (1760-1844), is important for its insights into the American reception of the civil law in the early 1800s.‎

‎A human document, with an Introduction by Barbara Hannah, 8vo paperback, Schippert & Co, Zurich, s.d. [ 1967 ], XII-128 pp. with 12 original colored drawings under an envelope pasted on guard, and autograph text in flemish on 14 leaves (letters, poems) in another one. Full Tite : The healing influence of Active Imagination in a Specific Case of Neurosis [ Unique and exceptional copy with autograph manuscripts and 12 original drawings: Anna Marjula mystery solved ! ]‎

‎Unique copy with 12 original colored symbolical drawings sometimes (3 of them with comments in english) and 14 leaves with manuscript text (3 letters and poems) in flemish. Most of this extra-material is not signed except three letters (two dated 13-5-73 and 28-10-74) signed "Tante Han" or “Hanna”, clearly original work by "Anna Marjula", pseudonym used to protect the identity of the author (The letter "E". On an envelop is written : "These drawings illustrate the fifth conversation with the Great Mother pages 26-27". Many early jungian analysts worked with Anna Marjula (Toni Wolff, Emma Jung or Barbara Hannah), but her real name remained unknown, until now (but we knew it was a pianist). Indeed, our research allowed us to identify the recipient, Ms. Parvati Chavoix-Jodjana ("Vati") but especially the author, who hides behind the pseudonym of Anna Marjula : the famous dutch pianist and composer Hanna Beekhuis (1889-1980) ! A newspaper clipping is joined on a postcard, (that we join), titled : "Gouden medaille voor Hanna Beekhuis" and here's the translation : "Gold medal for Hanna Beekhuis: Arnhem, 3 Oct. - The Dutch composer of chamber music works and songs, Hanna Beekhuis from Ellecom, who currently resides in Zurich, has won a gold medal and an honorary diploma with "Reflet du Japon", a composition for viola and viola at an international competition held in Buenos Aires". It is known she won this medal in 1961.Hanna Beekhuis resided in Zurich, and was previously in relationship with Carl Jung (28 letters or copy of letters between Jung and Hanna Beekhuis, from 1942 until 1960, would be kept in the ETH-Bibliothek). Barbara Hannah explains in her preface that “Professor Jung had, however, once spoken to Anna of including it in a volume of case histories, and, as he died before he had collected the other cases, she was naturally disappointed”. We identify well the identical writing of "Aunt Hanna" with that present on the handwritten drawings, and with the only autograph word reproduced in the work - "Eve".Our incredible copy comes from Parvati Chavoix-Jodjana, daughter of a famous javanese dancer in France, Raden Mas Jodjana (1893-1972) and his wife Raden Ayou. Hanna Beekhuis accompanied the dancer in the 1920s. Another interesting relation with Jungian Psychanalysis is that the Jodjana were friends with Kurt Binswanger and his wife Erica since 1935.Here's some translated extract on a signed letter : “You said me that your Father has become your Guru. What is a guru ? [… ] Your father told me that he was a free thinker. I am that too but Christianity [ … ] is still in blood”. In another one : "The Jodjanas" have meant a lot to me in the course of my life, especially your father, [ … ] your mother too”.‎

‎Edited by William B. Slater and Arthur J. Sarl, with map and illustrations, 8vo full original red cloth, John Murray, Albemarle Street, London, 1907, xvii-380 pp. with a folding map‎

‎Good condition (very small lack on top joints, otherwise a very good copy) for this copy, complete with the 12 illustrations and the folding map, in which was joined an original photographic portrait of George Manington, signed on a paper pasted on the verso, by himself ! This portrait, preserved under silk paper, appears highly scarce, and no other portrait of George Manington appears to be available or published. As explained in the editors' note, "though well under forty years of age, he had been a student in France and Germany, a prospective doctor in Paris, a soldier in Algeria and Tonquin, a man of commerce in Indo-China, an interpreter, traveller, and journalist in South China, besides a participator in more fleeting occupations in many lands, including Japan and the Philippines. [... ] An educated gentleman, Mr Manington has given an insight into the unusual experiences of an Englishman in the French Foreign[Pg xiii] Legion, such as no ordinary "mercenary" could have done".‎
