BLANC, L.
Organisation du travail. Cinqième édition, revue, corrigée et augmentée d'une polémique entre M. Michel Chevalier et l'auteur, ainsi que d'un appendice indiquant ce qui pourrait être tenté dès à présent.
Paris, au Bureau de la Société de l'Industrie fraternelle, 1848. (4), 284 pp. 12mo. Modern half morocco, marbled sides, spine gilt with gilt lettering, top edge gilt. Kress C.7283; Goldsmiths 36031; not in Einaudi. Important edition of this famous text, containing supplements not reprinted in later editions. Louis Blanc's leading economic ideas are those of 'association' and 'the right to work'. In the present work he looks to the State to ensure that the opportunity to work under reasonable conditions of payment and employment shall be available for every citizen. Although Blanc wishes the State to institute this new system he does not wish it to take over the running of industry. It was here that Blanc and the Fourierists held opposing views; to Blanc the Fourierists wished to run the State and industry and control everything by means of a hierarchy of industrial administrators chosen from above (See G.D.H. Cole, A History of Socialist Thought, i, p. 170).

Par-tout (Holland), Chez le vrai sage, 1760. 2 works bound in 1 volume. 130 pp.; 211, (5) pp. 12mo. Contemporary marbled calf, spine gilt with raised bands, label with gilt lettering, front cover with repair. First work: Not in Camus; Weller, ii, 129; Conlon 51:635 (listing an edition printed in 'Francfort et Leipsic' in 62 pages only); Holzmann & Bohatta, 11995; INED 1907 & 1872 (for Formey's work). One of at least two editions printed in the year of its first publication.Rare and important treatise on legal reform in which Frederic collaborated with Cujacius. The work is both historical and political and discusses the origins of law in Greece, Rome, France, England and Germany, their structure and classification and how national culture influences the development and adaptation of laws. Formey's treatise covers the pp. 86-130. It argues in favour of interest as long as the interest is "honnête". - Small stamp in blank portion of half-title.Second work: Kress 5457; INED 3318; Goldsmiths 9074; Einaudi 4031 (all listing the first edition); Le Bucher bibliographique, 780; Weller, ii, p. 140. According to Lichtenberger in his Le Socialisme au XVIIIe siècle, this is, if not the most important socialist work of the 18th century, at least one of the most important works, and it is the theoretical foundation of his famous Naufrage des isles flottantes; ou Basiliade .......'Morelly argued that the code of nature was completely communistic. Starting out from the proposition that moral evil, the essence of which was avarice, could be explained by social conditions Morelly portrayed and advocated an ideal communistic society in which it would be 'impossible to be depraved.' (.....) In many respects Morelly's system anticipates the rationalistic utopianism of Fourier' (Kingsley Martin in ESS, vol. xi, pp. 10 ff).Morelly was 'tremendously influential in inspiring utopian socialism, for his theories are reflected in almost every one of the schemes of the Utopian socialists. In fact we must regard him, if not the founder, at least as the most conspicious forerunner of the Utopian Socialists. (.....) Of the writers of his time he was the one who saw most clearly the need of a new system to replace the old; he alone was truly constructive, for he actually outlined a new social structure which he thought would meet the needs should ancient society be overthrown. While others deserve merit as critics and analysts and destroyers, he alone deserves the name of utopianist at this early period' (Hertzler, J.O. The history of Utopian Thought, p. 186 ff). The work was severely prosecuted in France. This edition was apparently printed in Holland and destined for the French market. - A very nice volume with two important texts.

(HERZEN, A. PSEUD.:) ISKANDER.
Kontsy i nachala. S predisloviem avtora.
Norrkoeping, Eric Biornström, (below, on printed cover: En Commission - Londres, Trübner & Co), 1863. (2), iv, (2, blank), 96 pp. 8vo. Modern boards, original covers preserved. Anderson 302; Kilgour 436; Zaleski 197. First separate edition: Herzen's letters to Turgenev, which first appeared in My Past and Thoughts, published here with a new introduction. 'Herzen's renewed interest in Russia's past and future was closely linked to his bitter disappointment in the "old world". He was a discerning critic of bourgeois society, even if his strictures were not always fair. The modern reader is struck especially by certain far-sighted observations, that seem to anticipate criticism of a complex phenomenon we have come to refer to as "mass culture". Herzen's most interesting comments in this respect are to be found in a series of articles entitled Ends and Beginnings, in which he conducted a polemic with Ivan Turgenev, who had become the moral authority for liberal Westernizers in Russia' (Andrzej Walicki, A History of Russian Thought, Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1980, p. 170). Alexander Herzen (1812-70) was a prominent nineteenth-century Russian social thinker and is known as the 'father of Russian socialism.' Early in his intellectual development, Herzen was influenced by German idealist thinkers such as Schiller and Schelling. He believed in the autonomy and dignity of the individual and opposed forces, such as family and state, that oppressed the individual. Later, under the influence of French socialist thinkers such as Charles Fourier, Herzen's thought became more radical. Herzen projected his earlier concern for the oppressed individual onto society at large and he became a supporter of socialism. The socialism he envisioned was a loose federation of self-governing communes. Only in such a system could the ideal society be achieved- according to Herzen that society would be a free association of individuals which provided for the full flowering of each personality. Herzen initially placed his hopes for this future order in the European socialist movement. After the failure of the 1848 revolutions to achieve socialist principles, however, Herzen became disillusioned about European prospects and turned his attention to Russia. Herzen argued that socialist transformation would actually come first to Russia because communal institutions such as the peasant commune survived and bourgeois attitudes hadn't yet emerged. This sense of the advantages of Russian 'backwardness' was influential among the Populists in the 1870s. Herzen has been called a 'gentry revolutionary.' The illegitimate son of a wealthy landowner, Herzen viewed the gentry as a progressive class. The revolution he envisioned was for the people but not necessarily by them. Also, his socialism was a national destiny rather than a class one, and because he promoted the value of individualism in collectivist form--in other words, the full flowering of the individual could best be realized in a socialist order. Among Herzen's works are From the Other Shore (1848-50) and The Russian People and Socialism and his autobiography, My Past and Thoughts.He founded a periodical, the famous Kolokol, in whose pages the free word first appeared in the Russian language, unhampered by censor or police, exposing the government's secrets, criticizing bureaucratic abuses, approving the good intentions of the czar, the 'liberator', and trying to dictate to him a reform program.

Very well executed reproduction on good paper of the complete text of this famous international journal in a limited edition of 150 copies. The journal was severely prosecuted at the time throughout Europe. The editors were Victor Hugo, Louis Blanc, Felix Pyat, Pierre Leroux, Ledru-Rollin, Victor Schoelcher for the French, Alexander Herzen for the Russians, Dombrowski, Oborski, Zeno Swietoslawski and Worcel for the Polish, Louis Kossuth and Sandor Teleki for the Hungarians, Mazzini, Mazzolini, Aurelio Saffi for the Italians, W.W. Linton and G. Julian Harney for the English, Geurz for the Germans, and other famous collaborators such as Barbès, Jeanne Deroin, Constantin Pecqueur, etc.L'Homme was the first international journal and prosecuted in all European countries, it was created at the moment that almost all democratic and socialist journals had dissappeared in continental Europe. It is an indispensable source for the revolutionary and socialist movements in the 19th century, linking the 1848 revolution to the birth of the Workers' International in 1864, the revolution of September 1870, and the Commune of Paris.

In this book ..... occurs the celebrated passage in which he ridicules the 'abstinence' theory of profit' (Palgrave).The three most important economic publications, the Arbeiterprogramm (1863), Offenes Antwortschreiben (1863) und Herr Bastiat-Schulze von Delitzsch, ....... (1864), are all of them brilliant pamphlets that embody, so far as analysis is concerned, a somewhat superficial but ably exploited Ricardianism .....

MABLY, (G. BONNOT DE.)
Entretiens de Phocion, sur le rapport de la morale avec la politique, Traduits du Grec de Nicolès, avec des remarques. Nouvelle Édition.
A Amsterdam, 1767. xxxvi, 248 pp. 12mo. Contemporary marbled calf, spine gilt in compartments, label with gilt lettering, red edges, very lightly rubbed, some discolouring. INED 2992; Goldsmiths 10372; Higgs 4248; Einaudi A.514 (1792 edition). First published in 1763, with a second edition in that same year. Probably written in 1761 and published in 1763, this was by far the best known and best received work by Mably. It was awarded the prize for the best work of the year by the Société littéraire suisse and it was translated into Italian, German, Swedish, English, Polish, Spanish and Greek and was twelve times reprinted before the revolution.The dialogue purports to be the translation af a Greek manuscript recently discovered at Monte Cassino, whose author, a certain Nicocles, had been present at a series of didactic conversations between the doomed Athenian commander Phocion and a young fellow-citizen named Aristias. After a long exploration of the "relations between politics and morality," the dialogue ends on a sharply pessimistic note, befitting its somber historical context. Despite its classical costume, Entretiens de Phocion is certainly contemporary in its concerns: a reaction to the political and intellectual upheavals of the decade of the 1750s. For an elaborate analysis of the work see: J.K. Wright, A Classical Republican in Eighteenth-century France. The Political Thought of Mably, pp. 80-93.Gabriel Bonnot de Mably (1709-1785), French historian, moralist and political philospher. After he retired Mably began to produce a number of works, most of which were oriented about the purpose of ameliorating the contemporary evils of France but which carried him into widely ramified branches of social and political philosophy. His works plainly reveal his intimate acquaintance with the thought of Plato, Cicero, Locke, and his brother Condillac. Although he firmly believed that political and legal equality had no meaning without economic equality, Mably connot, however, be classed as a communist, although he is frequently so regarded and although he actually inspired Babeuf. He believed communism to be the ideal system and posited the possibility that it had existed in the primitive state of man. But a quality of realism and an inclination toward the evolutionary standpoint prevented him from espousing any political system which failed to take full account of human nature and of the peculiar history and customs of the people concerned. - Preliminaries xix-xx with two small spots obscuring a few letters.

MABLY, (G. BONNOT) DE.
De la législation, ou Principes des loix.
A Amsterdam (Paris), 1776. 2 volumes in 1. viii, 264 pp.; iv, 264 pp. 12mo. Contemporary marbled calf, spine gilt with raised bands, label with gilt lettering, marbled edges. Camus 121; Conlon 76:1238; Tchemerezine-Scheler, iv, p. 251. First edition. The present work marks a return to the dialogue form of Des Droits et des Devoir du Citoyen (written in the late 1750s) in the work of Mably. The central preoccupation is an ambitious program of political reform, designed to redress the ills and injustices caused by excessive social inequality; it moves from general statements of principle to consideration of the specific contexts and prospects for reform in different European states. This sustained critique of social inequality was accompanied by a serious and approving reflection on the notion of a communauté des biens. The grounds of the critique are twofold, involving an appeal both to natural principle and to historical evidence. This is, moreover, one of the books that won Mably his reputation as a "communist" writer. De la Législation, in particular, has long been seen as one of the most coherent presentations of an early socialist viewpoint to have emerged from the French enlightenment (Johnson Kent Wright, A Classical Republican in Eighteenth-Century France. The Political Thought of Mably, pp. 94 ff with elaborate analysis). - A very nice copy.

MATHON DE LA COUR, (C.J.)
Par quelles causes et par quels degrés les loix de Lycurgue se sont altérées chez les Lacédémoniens jusqu'à ce qu'elles ayent été anéanties. Dissertation qui a remporté le prix dans l'Académie Royale des Inscriptions & Belles-Lettres, le 28 avril 1767. Avec des notes contenant les principaux traits de l'histoire de Lacédémone. Par M. Mathon de la Cour le Fils.
A Lyon, & se trouve A Paris, Chez Durand, et Vallat-la-Chapelle, 1767. (6), 100, (2) pp. 8vo. Modern half morocco, gilt lettering to spine, marbled boards. Conlon 67:1083. First edition. Lichtenberger, Le socialisme au XVIIIe siècle, cites this work, which contains a rough outline for a larger work the author planned, but which never appeared. There were at this period in history many discussions about the political systems of Antiquity, and the 'amis de l'égalité' especially admired Sparta: Sparta was utopia which became reality: no more 'yours and mine' but 'un partage égal des terres parmi les citoyens, et de bannir entièrement de Sparte le luxe, l'avarice, les procès, .....' (Lichtenberger, p. 366).
