1789réf. 14145Dublin: P. Byrne 1789. FIRST IRISH EDITION. Contemporary calf spine and edges lightly worn; generally an excellent copy with a contemporary signature of Juliana Pratt dated 1843 on title. . First edition a variant of a two-volume work published in London with few copies located in America. We do not know the priority of this Irish edition. After a preliminary trip to Berlin in early 1786 Mirabeau was dispatched that July on a mission to the royal court of Prussia. Returning in January he published a full account in his Secret History of the Court of Berlin 1787. 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 him as a leader of the coming revolution. Even Thomas Jefferson who was serving as the United States Minister to France during this period wrote to Mirabeau complimenting his “writings and talents” and provided him with materials that Jefferson wanted Mirabeau to use in future publications.

réf. 352620Théorie de l'impôt. 4to. VIII 336 pp. Publisher's original boards untrimmed. Covers somewhat foxed spine strenghtened in the time with vellum slightly worn corners worn some minor foxing few small stains in outer margins edges lightly dust-soiled. - Paris o. Dr. 1760. Very rare first edition in quarto of Mirabeau's chief work which led to the author's arrest at Vincennes. Assisted by François Quesnay Mirabeau's first book of his own after his conversion to Physiocracy offers an exposition of his economic ideas. On fiscal matters the Physiocrats famously pushed for their "single tax" l'impôt unique on landed property. The logic as laid out by Mirabeau seemed compelling. Any taxes levied throughout the economy will just passed from sector to sector until they fall upon the net product. As land is the only source of wealth then the burden of all taxes ultimately bears down on the landowner. So instead of levying a complicated collection of scattered taxes which are difficult to administer and can cause temporary distortions it is most efficient to just go to the root and tax land rents directly. This book was published the same year also in a duodecimo edition which is fare more current than the present quarto edition. - Untrimmed copy with wide margins Provenance: From the collection of Basel economics professor Edgar Salin 1892-1974 with his handwritten entry on the first flyleaf.
