1925réf. elala168Paris: René Kieffer 1925. 1925. 8vo. pp. numerous text illus. with pochoir hand-colouring. contemporary half morocco original coloured pictorial wrs. bound in. First Edition Illustrated by Joseph Hémard Limited to 500 copies this one of 480 on vélin de cuve. One of the few of Voltaires works to deal with a distinctly economic subject. Directed against the Physiocrats and specifically Mercier De La Rivières Ordre naturel et essentiel des sociétés the witty and sarcastic tale takes its title from Merciers statement that in an organized state according to the physiocratic doctrine an average sum of forty crowns should suffice for the existence of each citizen. Voltaire singles out for special ridicule the proposed impot unique or single tax on land. The story revolves around the owner of a small estate yielding an annual net income of forty crowns who is alarmed at the promulgation of several edicts "by a few gentlemen who having some leisure have undertaken to govern the kingdom from their firesides". According to them the government "being by divine- and birth-right co-proprietor of his land he at least owes it one-half of his income" and that "as all wealth proceeds from land land is to bear the whole burden of taxation." Carteret IV 406. 1st Edition. Paris: René Kieffer, 1925. unknown
1755réf. 240311755 VOLTAIRE 1ed War of Austrian Succession King Georges War Netherlands 1741 "Let us read and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world." ― Voltaire Voltaire was a versatile and prolific writer producing works in almost every literary form including plays poems novels essays and historical and scientific works. He wrote thousands of books and letters and frequently made use of his works to criticize intolerance religious dogma and the French institutions of his day. However Voltaire wrote many other works that were infrequently published and rarely read as was the case with his "History of the War of 1741". This historical commentary was Voltaire's reaction to the War of Austrian Succession or King George's War which was curiously not included in any Voltaire complete works of the 18th- and 19th-century nor was it published during his lifetime.
