1763réf. 153616Amsterdam: Chez les Libraires Associés 1763. The new science of economics Rare first edition presenting "perhaps the most complete and magisterial account of the views of the Physiocratic school" Higgs. "Quesnay collaborated very substantially in preparing this last major work contributing the final chapter with further explanations and manipulations of his Tableau Économique analysis" The New Palgrave. Schumpeter calls the work "the first of the four textbooks of physiocrat orthodoxy" p. 225. It contains for the first time Quesnay's masterful explanation of his Tableau Économique "one of those works in the history of economics which have often been regarded as an anticipation of modern theories" Schumpeter p. 242. Originally printed as a pamphlet of 16 pages in 1758 in a minute number of copies Quesnay's Tableau Économique was first revealed to the public as the final part of Mirabeau's L'Ami des Hommes in 1760. In the Philosophie rurale Quesnay for the first time gives a full explanation of his system. The Tableau économique is credited as the "first precise formulation" of interdependent systems in economics and the origin of the theory of the multiplier in economics. An analogous table is used in the theory of money creation under fractional-reserve banking by relending of deposits leading to the money multiplier. In a letter to Mirabeau written late in 1758 Quesnay remarks "J'ai taché de faire un tableau fondamental de l'ordre économique pour y représenter les dépenses et les produits sous un aspect facile à saisir et pour juger clairment des arrangemens et des dérangemens que le gouvernement peut y causer" translated: "I have tried to make a fundamental table of the economic order in order to represent the expenses and the products in an aspect easy to grasp and to judge clearly of the arrangements and disturbances that the government can cause there". "A most remarkable analysis of the economic condition of his country" Palgrave the Tableau économique "is the most important and famous work of Physiocracy and has often been regarded as a summary of the entire corpus of Physiocratic economics. The Tableau has also been regarded as the analytical synthesis of the logical structure of Quesnay's economics or at least as its most relevant aspect. The Tableau économique is one of those works in the history of economics which have often been regarded as an anticipation of modern theories. The Tableau has been considered a first rough presentation of Keynes's multiplier and as a sort of general equilibrium system of a Walrasian type. For others the Tableau is an input-output table. Because of the Tableau Quesnay has been regarded as an early econometrician. The Tableau has also been interpreted as the first classical system of price determination thus anticipating Marx's reproduction schemes and Sraffa's price system" Giovanni Vaggi in The New Palgrave.

The first public appearance of Quesnay's Tableau Économique First complete edition of all six parts containing the first public appearance of Quesnay's Tableau Économique; a superb copy in contemporary French red morocco very uncommon thus. The first to follow Quesnay in the foundation of the Physiocratic circle Mirabeau was familiar with and influenced by Cantillon's theories. As well as fully articulating the principles that were to mark the school of physiocrats and expounding their implications regarding population agriculture and commerce the Ami de l'Homme contained a reproduction of Quesnay's Tableau Économique vol. 6 previously published separately in very small numbers in 1758 and 1759. Mirabeau's reproduction made the essay obtainable thus bringing the founding document of the school of physiocrats to the attention of a wide public. "This remarkable treatise created the greatest sensation throughout the whole of Europe. It is said to have gone through forty editions and was translated into several languages. Its anonymous author soon discovered became the idol of the day and was generally referred to by the soubriquet which he had chosen for the title of his book" Palgrave II p. 775. Following the publication of the first three parts Mirabeau made the acquaintance of Quesnay who had been greatly impressed by his book. "Mirabeau now became the fervent admirer of Quesnay and between them they founded the school of the Physiocrats" ibid. With this new edition of the first three parts a fourth part was published in 1758 in which Quesnay's influence is clearly visible. The remaining two parts were published in 1760. The final part is of particular importance as it contains the first obtainable appearance of Quesnay's Tableau Économique which was previously published separately in tiny numbers in 1758 and 1759.

1760réf. 83935No place: no printer 1760. First edition of a spirited and able attack upon the financial administration of France and especially upon the "fermiers généraux" whom Mirabeau regarded as parasites preying upon the vitals of the nation. The work highlights the problems and injustices of the French system of taxation and added fuel to the fire of the coming revolution. The king disapproved of the work; Mirabeau was imprisoned on 16 December 1760 but through the efforts of Madame de Pompadour and others was released on Christmas Eve under orders to leave Paris for his estate at Bignon. The work proposes a reorganization of financial administrative machinery the abolition of the "Fermes" a reduction in the taxation upon salt with the object of increasing the total yield and a special tax upon tobacco farms. The domaine the post and the mint were to be further sources of revenue. The author ranks as one of the earliest important writers on taxation. Higgs notes that the book is "of real importance in the history of financial theory" The Physiocrats p. 57. Quarto 257 x 192 mm. Additional engraved frontispiece portrait of the author. Contemporary sprinkled calf spine ruled and decorated gilt in compartments red morocco label sprinkled edges. Spine ends and corners skilfully repaired.

Binding: Rebacked tastefully to match the orginial boards tooled gilt rules and elaborate design on front covers blind tooled elaborate design on back matching pasted and free end papers. Notes: Honoré Gabriel Riqueti comte de Mirabeau 9 March 1749 – 2 April 1791 was a French revolutionary as well as a writer diplomat freemason journalist and French politician at the same time. He was a popular orator and statesman. During the French Revolution he was a moderate favoring a constitutional monarchy built on the model of Great Britain. He unsuccessfully conducted secret negotiations with the French monarchy in an effort to reconcile it with the Revolution. In the years leading up to the Revolution he communicated with Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson—who served successively as United States Ministers to France in that period—and used materials provided directly by each of them in several of his pre-Revolution publications. After a preliminary trip to Berlin in early 1786 he was dispatched that July on a mission to the royal court of Prussia; returning in January Mirabeau published a full account in his Secret History of the Court of Berlin 1787.10 This account denounced the Prussian court as scandalous and corrupt described the King of Prussia as weak and overly emotional and labeled Prince Henry of Prussia brother of Frederick the Great and a guest of the French court as narrow-minded and incompetent. The resulting uproar was an extreme embarrassment for the French government which quickly censored the book but could not prevent its widespread notoriety. Mirabeau's episode provided inspiration to many more radical publishers who came to regard Mirabeau as a leader of the coming revolution.11 Size: 4to: 160mm x 230mm Illustration: Illustrated with a color frontispiece.

réf. #[37142]Brussel 1830 248 pages original paper binding considerable damage block not sound and in one part broken Honoré Gabriel Riqueti Count of Mirabeau 9 March 1749 - 2 April 1791 was a leader of the early stages of the French Revolution. A noble he had been involved in numerous scandals before the start of the Revolution in 1789 that had left his reputation in ruins. Nonetheless he rose to the top of the French political hierarchy in the years 1789-1791 and acquired the reputation of a voice of the people. A successful orator he was the leader of the moderate position among revolutionaries by favoring a constitutional monarchy built on the model of Great Britain. When he died of natural causes he was a great national hero even though support for his moderate position was slipping away. The later discovery that he was in the pay of King Louis XVI and the Austrian enemies of France beginning in 1790 brought him into posthumous disgrace. Historians are deeply split on whether he was a great leader who almost saved the nation from the Terror a venal demagogue lacking political or moral values or a traitor in the pay of the enemy. The frisian patriot Coert Lambertus van Beyma went to Paris to speak to Mirabeau. This book is a well documented product of several journalists amongst others Jacques Pierre Brissot. Most attention is drawn to the declaration of human rights. unknown

Mirabeau's work highlights the problems and injustices of the French system of taxation and added fuel to the coming fire of the revolution. The king disapproved of the work; Mirabeau was imprisoned on 16 December 1760 but was released on Christmas Eve through the efforts of Madame de Pompadour and others under orders to leave Paris for his estate at Bignon.

Higgs notes that the book is "of real importance in the history of financial theory" The Physiocrats p. 57. Pesselier was one of the most forceful critics of the physiocrats.

This volume contains the complete issues 1 and 2 of Mirabeau's famous revolutionary newspaper Journal des États-Généraux published right at the start of the Estates-General in early May 1789 along with all nineteen Lettres de comte de Mirabeau à ses commettans. Originally published as a direct commentary by the Count of Mirabeau on the happenings of the Estates-General the Royal Council officially banned his Journal on May 7 1789. To circumvent the ban Mirabeau rebranded his publication as direct "letters" to the constituents in Provence who elected him to the Third Estate. Since deputies had a legal right to report back to their electors the royal censors could not easily stop him. 1418440. Special Collections - Upstairs. unknown

Collection written by Mirabeau imprisoned in Vincennes at the same time as the Marquis de Sade. Various curiosities are culled from ancient writings relating to sexual practices such as onanism tribalism sodomy nymphomania etc. : ""The author in addition to the talent of perfectly mastering ancient languages writes very well in his own joking lightly and often drawing on Voltaire's style: in the very dirty pictures he sometimes presents he always uses honest or technical expressions: besides he seems well versed in the art of voluptuousness"" contemporary 18th century review quoted in Gay-Lem. II 151. According to the legend the book was relentlessly censored by the authorities and only fourteen copies of the first edition had survived - an estimate which seems to be quite inaccurate. After a second edition in 1792 the book was prohibited and included in the papal index. Another edition was destroyed in 1826 by the Royal Court of Paris and two further prosecutions were brought in 1856 and 1868 for ""outrage à la morale publique et aux bonnes murs"". The text was notably published by Guillaume Apollinaire along with other writings by Mirabeau in his 1910 edition in the Bibliothèque des Curieux series. De l'imprimerie du Vatican hardcover
