TMS. 7pg. 8 " x 11". Dec. 29 1899. Boston. A typewritten manuscript signed "Edward Atkinson" and accompanied by a slew of handwritten notes between lines and in margins. The manuscript is entitled "A Single Tax Parable. A very simple story" and reads in part: ". Away down to the West of the Indian Territory there lies a bit of land of exceedingly uniform and fertile character named 'No Man's Land' belonging to the United States. It was set apart when opened to settlement for an experiment in collecting the entire revenue due from settlers for any purpose by a 'single tax'. John Doe and Richard Roe were two New England mechanics. without the possibility of accumulating gain. They concluded to better their conditions by accepting under the Government grant each a quarter section in 'No Man's Land' on a single tax or ground rent at an assessment of two 2 per cent. making the single tax. on the whole parcel eighty dollars $80.; a seemingly high valuation but a low rate. John Doe and Richard Roe each had a thousand dollars $1000 in capital. Each built a small house putting the rest of their money into tools. Each put into wheat one hundred 100 acres. land of uniform fertility. Each kept a set of books valuing their own time. At the beginning of the second year John Doe bought a piano for the use of his daughter and bought a trotting horse and buggy for himself. Richard Roe was satisfied with a parlor organ. and put the rest of his profits into some good dairy stock. ". The manuscript continues along these lines and ends with the less frugal Doe working as an employee of the smarter Roe. There are over a handwritten hundred words and his signature appears at the end. The manuscript is in excellent condition with horizontal folds and a paper clip mark throughout unknown

ref. 17043A Londres, 1775. With 1 folding map and 4 folding tables. viii, 293, (1) pp. 8vo. Contemporary marbled calf, spine gilt in compartments, red morocco label with gilt lettering, gilt triple fillets on sides, red edges. Kress 7170; Goldsmiths 11330; Einaudi 5517; INED 4798; Higgs 6403; Peignot, Livres Condamnés, i, p. 141. First edition. Severely prosecuted attack on the Fermiers-Généraux, forbidden already in 1776. 'Diatribe sanglante contre les fermiers généraux et les abus scandaleux de leurs agents. L'auteur met en scene un malheureux dont les 'suppôts de la ferme' ont ruiné la famille et fait périr le père de chagrin' (INED). According to a manuscript note in the Kress copy: '..... l'on croit que cette sanglante diatribe des fermiers généraux a été composée, imprimée et répandue sous les auspices du ministère actuel (celui de Turgot & Malesherbes).'This, in fact, is the first edition of a work which became better known under the title "L'Ami du Peuple François, ou Mémoire adressée à Mr. Turgot, ....." published at Limoges one year later (1776). Even the motto in both works is identical: "Ni Ferme ni regie: l'une et l'autre font la perte des Etats." The present work contains the same text as the "L'Ami du Peuple" (upto page 84, and then the pages 256-269) and contains in addition much detailed information about the taxes. It was probably deemed to complex or technical and was published again in 1776 as "L'Ami du Peuple François" this time omitting the detailed information about the taxes. The work suggests Turgot to abolish the tax system in use as it is injust and odious, of relatively little profit to the king but very profitable for the taxfarmers and hard-pressing on the population. The work describes in detail the various taxes in existence, their effects, the cruel practises of the taxfarmers, the uneven division of the taxes and the disastrous effects.It is told in the form of a story: the anonymous author recounts the story of his father and his family and how they were, little by little, driven to complete ruin. His father, responsible for the collecting of taxes in his village, is thrown in jail and his possessions confiscated by the taxfarmers because of his inability to raise the requested taxes from the other taxable inhabitants of his village.
