1785ref. 169550Paris: Imprimerie Royale 1785. Calculating the wisdom of crowds First edition of Condorcet's pioneering application of probability theory to collective decision-making "the first large-scale attempt to apply mathematics to knowledge of human phenomena" DSB. Condorcet investigated the probability that the majority decision of an assembly or tribunal was correct and whether rational individual choices produce coherent collective decisions. While recognizing limitations and contradictions it is ultimately a defence of democratic decisions and the wisdom of crowds and a seminal work in social choice theory. "It is mainly to the Essai a ground-breaking investigation into the relationship between voting procedures and collective outcomes that Condorcet owes his modern standing as the founder of social choice. His theory of voting and political decision-making constitutes one of the most sustained elements to be found in the whole corpus of his writings" Williams pp. 207-8.

Condorcet on Friday February 15 1793 M. Breard President Delivered in the Name of the Committee of Constitution. London: Printed for J.

Light age-toning. Internally clean and crisp. A good unsophisticated copy. $450. First English edition. This text represents the intellectual peak of the French Revolution by turning abstract Enlightenment theory into a working legal framework. Known as the "Plan Condorcet" it served as the ultimate manifesto of the moderate Girondin faction. Its rejection by the National Convention marked the precise moment the Revolution swung from rational legal reform into the radical violent Reign of Terror. Shortly after presenting this plan the Jacobins ordered Condorcet's arrest forcing him into hiding where he wrote his famous philosophical masterpiece on human progress before dying mysteriously in a prison cell days after his capture. Published by John Debrett this specific London edition highlights how closely and anxiously the British public followed the political collapse of their neighbor across the Channel.

1795ref. 161166Paris: chez Agasse l'an III de la République 1795. History as progress First edition of the finest and most durable expression of the ultimate perfectibility of man perhaps the clearest and boldest statement of the enlightenment belief in progress demonstrating "man's progressive emancipation first from the arbitrary domination of his physical environment and then from the historical bondage of his own making" Encyclopedia of Philosophy II 184. Condorcet wrote the work in 1794 while in hiding from Robespierre's agents having voted against the execution of the king. Captured by the state he was found dead the next day presumed to have taken his own life to escape the guillotine. His manuscript was published the next year. "In the Esquisse. 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" PMM. Octavo 193 x 119 mm.

1780ref. 136971No place no publisher 1780. First edition of Condorcet's attack on the corps of engineers responsible for France's major canal building projects. Turgot looking to finish the large and ambitious Picardy and Burgundy canal systems placed Condorcet in charge of experimental research on canals. "Condorcet's research was instrumental in demonstrating the flaws in existing proposals for the tunnels for the new canals whose design would have made it impossible for boats to pass through. In the course of the demonstration a whole new branch of physics was invented. Apart from technical issues Condorcet also soon found himself immersed in research of a more sociological nature in Flanders and Picardy on the impact of the new canals on local communities. This resulted in an angry report to Turgot published in 1780 as the Mémoire sur le canal de Picardie in which the corps of engineers and the inadequacies of their professional training were strongly criticized" Williams p. 21. Octavo 194 x 120 mm. Disbound. Contemporary note of Condorcet's authorship to title page. Slight loss at bottom fore corner of pp. 11-14 not near text contents clean; very good.

1786ref. 126469London: no publisher 1786. From the library of Empress Joséphine True first edition of Condorcet's life of Turgot Gerits's Edition A; a superb copy from the library of Empress Joséphine de Beauharnais with her Bibliothèque de la Malmaison stamp on the title page and her initials to the spine. 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 p. 65. Condorcet 1743-1794 secretary to the Académie and a prolific author was a strong supporter of Turgot who had attempted to implement physiocratic ideas as the French finance minister from 1774 to 1776. The present work seeks to vindicate Turgot's thought and work and is a powerful defence of Enlightenment economic ideas. "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. In fact Stanley Jevons has called it one of the earliest works on 'économie pure'" Gerits. Seven editions of Condorcet's Vie de Monsieur Turgot appeared within two years making it one of the best-selling works of economics of its day. The first four editions all bear a London imprint dated 1786 though Gerits notes that it seems that all but Edition A were printed in France. Octavo 202 x 125 mm.

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.

1774ref. 127684Paris: Chez Couturier père 1774 but 1775. First edition of Condorcet's defence of the free trade of grain. Turgot's liberalisation of the grain trade in 1774 coinciding with bad harvests and rocketing prices led to a fierce pamphlet war between proponents of the mercantilist and free trade schools of thought. Condorcet had written the present tract prior to Turgot's enactment of the policy perhaps to anticipate it but the work was not published until April 1775 in the midst of the troubles and the month before the outbreak of bread riots in Paris. Condorcet would elaborate his ideas further in his 1776 treatise Réflexions sur le commerce des bleds the year in which Turgot was dismissed and liberalisation of the grain trade scaled back. Octavo 181 x 118 mm. Recent marbled boards black calf label. Half-title present. Some offsetting from type a few minor creases discreet repair to tear on p. 8 else a very good copy.
