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.

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.

"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.

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. His 1814 work De la liberté des brochures des pamphlets et des journaux defended freedom of the press at a moment when France was transitioning from Napoleonic rule to the Bourbon Restoration making the book an important statement in the early struggle over modern political freedoms. Sophie de Condorcet 1764-1822 the Marquise de Condorcet was a leading intellectual and salonnière of late-eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century France.
