1786ref. 83882London: no publisher 1786. One of four printings of 1786 Gerits's edition D with no Avis de l'éditeur and no errata and the misprints corrected: "Contrary to what is suggested by the title this book was not a biography but rather an exposé of Turgot's educational political and economic ideas" Gerits. This work together with Dupont de Nemours's biography is the chief contemporary account of the renowned financial reformer and friend of the physiocrats. It contains in a footnote Condorcet's early attempt to apply mathematics to economics. On pp. 178-184 he discusses the various mathematical ways "in which indirect taxation could be replaced by direct taxation and the effects of such a change" Theocharis Early developments in mathematical economics p. 65. Condorcet 1743-1794 was secretary to the Académie and was a prolific author. Although more celebrated for his studies in philosophy literature and politics "his mathematical treatment of probabilities and his discussion of differential equations and finite differences show an ability which might have put him in the first rank had he concentrated his attention on mathematics" W.W.

Benjamin Constant 1767-1830 was one of the most influential liberal political theorists of the early nineteenth century and a prominent figure in French intellectual life after the Revolution and the fall of Napoleon. A gifted writer journalist and parliamentarian Constant argued for constitutional government civil liberties and freedom of expression. His writings-including essays political speeches and novels-helped shape modern liberal thought especially his distinction between the "liberty of the ancients" and the "liberty of the moderns" emphasizing individual rights and representative government.

Sophie de Condorcet 1764-1822 the Marquise de Condorcet was a leading intellectual and salonnière of late-eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century France.
