Condorcet 1743-1794 looking back and then forward saw proof of this in the growing equality between classes and nations the intellectual physical and moral improvement of man; and he prophesied that popular education on correct principles would strengthen and assure this progress.In the Esquisse 'An Historical Outline of the Progress of the Human Mind' published after his death Condorcet traces the history of man through epochs the first three covering his progress from savagery to pastoral community and thence to the agricultural state. The next five span the growth of civilizations and knowledge down to Descartes and the ninth describes the revolution of Condorcet's own lifetime from Newton to Rousseau. The prophetic view of the tenth epoch shows Condorcet at his most original. He forecasts the destruction of inequality between nations and classes and the improvement intellectual moral and physical of human nature.it is as the most fully developed exposition of the progress of man that Condorcet's work is now remembered and it is this which has given its lasting appeal" Printing and the Mind of Man.

1785ref. 66958Paris: De k'Imprimerie Royale 1785. The First Large-Scale Attempt to Apply Mathematics to Knowledge of Human Phenomena" CONDORCET Marie Jean Antoine Nicolas Caritat Marquis de.

First and last few pages browned at edges . gathering K is browned a Q and 2G is toned. Otherwise very good and very scarce. "Condorcet's most significant and fruitful endeavor was in a field entirely new at the time. The subject was one that departed from the natural sciences and mathematics but nevertheless showed the way toward a scientific comprehension of human phenomena taking the empirical approach of natural science as its inspiration and employing mathematics as its tool. Condorcet called this new science 'social mathematics.' It was apparently intended to comprise.a statistical description of society a theory of political economy inspired by the Physiocrats and a combinatorial theory of intellectual processes. The great work on the voting process published in 1785 is related to the latter. Condorcet there sought to construct a scheme for an electoral body the purpose of which would be to determine the truth about a given subject by the process of voting and in which each elector would have the same chance of voicing the truth.No doubt the results obtained in the Essai d'application de l'analyse were modest ones. 'In almost all cases' Condorcet said 'the results are in conformity with what simple reason would have dictated; but it is so easy to obscure reason by sophistry and vain subtleties that I should feel rewarded if I had only founded a single useful truth on a mathematical demonstration' Essai p. ii. One must nevertheless recognize in this work.the first large-scale attempt to apply mathematics to knowledge of human phenomena" D.S.B. Brunet VI col. 472. HBS 66958. $7500.

I a very good contemporary set. First edition. 4 xvi 383 1; 4 259 1; 4 292; 4 366 pp. 4 vols. 8vo. Mazzei emigrated to America from Italy in 1773 and introduced the cultivation of grapes and olives to the United States. He became a neighbor of Jefferson in Virginia settling near Monticello at Jefferson's request and this association led to their long friendship and the author's acquaintance with Franklin and Adams. A staunch Republican Mazzei took an active role in the Independence movement. In this work he outlines the history of the American colonies the causes of the Revolution and the economy and government of the United States. Also discussed are Indians slavery emigration and the Society of the Cincinnati. The book was a contemporary success and remains an important work which Malone characterizes as "probably the most reliable of all the works of the period on the United States" Thomas Jefferson 2:109-110. Jefferson aided Mazzei in the compilation of the work while acting as American minister in Paris.
