Contenant UN TRAITÉ PRATIQUE DES MINES par le même; et un autre DE LA GUERRE EN GENERAL Par un Officier de Distinction. A LA HAYE. Chez PIERRE DE HONDT. M. DCC. XLII. ». Primeira edição completa e autorizada dos tratados de Vauban em estratégia militar de cerco. O primeiro volume contém um tratado sobre o ataque a fortalezas intitulado «De lAttaque des Places» até à página 188. Foi ampliado pelo editor com uma segunda parte sobre a defesa de fortalezas «De la Defense des Places» atribuída a Vauban mas que na realidade reproduz essencialmente o «Discours sur la défense des places présenté à Louis XIV en 1675» de Guillaume de La Fon de Boisguérin seigneur Deshoulières 16211693. O segundo volume complementa a obra um tratado sobre a forma de minar fortificações «Traité Pratique des Mines» até à página 48 e com um tratado geral de guerra «Traité de la Guerre en General» de autoria anónima. De acordo com Pierre Alexandre Joseph Allent em «Histoire du Corps impérial du génie» nenhuma destas obras é da autoria de Vauban mas sim apenas o discurso que consta do prefácio deste volume. Vauban terá escrito os segredos do seu sucesso na construção e captura de fortalezas entre 1669 e 1704. A sua superioridade estratégica apenas prevaleceria se estes textos fossem mantidos em segredo e circulassem entre um número muito estrito de pessoas mas após a sua morte acabaram por ser divulgados de forma legal. Segundo Henry Guerlac de todos os livros dos séculos XVII e XVIII sobre estratégia militar nenhuma obra teve maior influência ou gozou de maior prestígio do que as de Vauban. Joan DeJean afirma ainda que os primeiros leitores de Vauban deviam crer estar na posse de segredos militares incríveis com o poder de tornar as nações invencíveis; que nenhum outro tratado de cerco tinha sido rodeado de tanto secretismo. Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban Saint-Léger-Vauban 1633 Paris 1707 foi um grande engenheiro militar do reinado de Luís XIV e um dos principais conselheiros do rei. Especialista em estratégia de cerco foi responsável pela concepção e modernização de cerca de uma centena de fortalezas que dotaram a França de uma força que a tornou inexpugnável durante todo o reinado de Luís XIV com excepção da cidadela de Lille que foi capturada uma vez até ao final do século XVIII quando as fortalezas se tornaram obsoletas devido aos progressos da artilharia. Doze destas fortalezas que constituem um grupo de construções em toda a extensão das fronteiras francesas foram classificadas como Património Mundial da UNESCO em 7 de Julho de 2008. EN 2 Volumes bound in one. 28.5x23.5 cm. xx 216; xvi 180 i.e. 188 xxxiv ii br. pp. Contemporary full leather binding with raised bands and gilt tools on spine and dry tooling framing the boards. Illustrated with 44 folding engravings: 33 in the first part numbered I to XXXIII with 14 18 and 19 divided into two leaves; and 11 in the second numbered I to XI. The last part of the second volume is not illustrated. Some engravings have a caption. Title page printed in black and red with a decorative fleuron. Text in italics on the title page dedication some subtitles and in the first letters of the entries in the subject index which is arranged in two columns. Includes decorated initials headpieces made up of typographical vignettes and finishing fleurons. Copy with some leather flaws and damage in the hinges spine caps and corners of the boards. Oleographic ownership stamp from King Carlos I with monogram "DC" and handwritten ownership title from "Rapozo" on the title page ex-libris from King Manuel II on the front cover with the motto "Depois de Vós Nós" library location oleographic stamp with "27057" on the last leaf of the last quire. Typo on page 209 of the first volume numbering 109 instead. In the second volume the quire containing pages 33-40 is succeeded by another which duplicates the pagination with an asterisk i.e. with pages 33-40. First unnumbered pages of first volume with dedication by editor Pierre de Hondt to Prince Frederick II of Prussia preface and chapter index. Those of the second volume with preface including a speech by the author and index of chapters. Last unnumbered pages of the same volume with subject index of both volumes commercial advertisement and publisher's catalogue. The second volume has its own title page which reads: "Par monsieur LE MARECHAL DE VAUBAN: Tome Second. Contenant UN TRAITÉ PRATIQUE DES MINES par le même; et un autre DE LA GUERRE EN GENERAL Par un Officier de Distinction. A LA HAYE. With PIERRE DE HONDT. M. DCC. XLII.". First complete and authorized edition of Vauban's treatises on military siege strategy. The first volume contains a treatise on the attack of fortresses entitled "De l'Attaque des Places" up to page 188. It was expanded by the publisher with a second part on the defence of fortresses "De la Defense des Places" attributed to Vauban but which in reality essentially reproduces the "Discours sur la défense des places présenté à Louis XIV en 1675" by Guillaume de La Fon de Boisguérin seigneur Deshoulières 1621-1693. The second volume complements the work with a treatise on how to mine fortifications "Traité Pratique des Mines" up to page 48 and with a general treatise on war "Traité de la Guerre en General" anonymously authored. According to Pierre Alexandre Joseph Allent in "Histoire du Corps impérial du génie" none of these works is by Vauban but only the speech that appears in the preface to this volume. Vauban is said to have written down the secrets of his success in building and capturing fortresses between 1669 and 1704. His strategic superiority would only have prevailed if these texts were kept secret and circulated among a very strict number of people but after his death they were eventually made public in a legal way. According to Henry Guerlac of all the 17th- and 18th-century books on military strategy no work has had greater influence or enjoyed greater prestige than Vauban's. He also states that Vauban's work was more influential than his own. Joan DeJean further states that Vauban's first readers must have believed themselves to be in possession of incredible military secrets with the power to make nations invincible; that no other treatise on siege had been surrounded by so much secrecy. Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban Saint-Léger-Vauban 1633 - Paris 1707 was a great military engineer of the reign of Louis XIV and one of the king's chief advisers. A specialist in siege strategy he was responsible for designing and modernising around a hundred fortresses which provided France with a force that made it impregnable throughout Louis XIV's reign - with the exception of the citadel of Lille which was captured once - until the end of the 18th century when the fortresses became obsolete due to advances in artillery. Twelve of these fortresses which make up a group of constructions along the entire length of the French borders were listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites on 7 July 2008.

Not only did he provide a systematic discussion of the siege attack the basis for tactical doctrine but his legacy completely altered the face of early modern siegecraft reversing the dominance of the century-old trace italienne design and overturning as well the pattern of long bloody uncertain sieges of the 16th and 17th centuries. His swift conquests of Spanish and Dutch towns in the War of Devolution the Dutch War the War of Reunions and the Nine Years War won him fame throughout Europe; a contemporary adage boasted that a town besieged by Vauban was one taken while a town defended by him was one saved The Vauban legacy thus eliminated the eternal sieges of a previous age. Vauban who was made Marshal of France in 1703 directed 47 sieges during the many campaigns that shaped the countrys emerging frontiers under Louis XIV. In times of both war and peace he worked tirelessly at designing and building new fortresses and strengthening existing ones. Vauban almost single-handedly reversed the tendency of arduous expensive sieges and although he died in 1707 his legacy lasted far beyond his death. His stone and brick fortresses shaped campaigns long after he had been buried and outline Frances hexagon today; some of them still stand having survived even WWII bombardments e.g. Cherbourg and Brest Much has been made of Vaubans strategic vision particularly his creation of a rationalized fortified frontiere de fer shielding France the famous pre carre translated alternately as a dueling round or a squared circle. The territorial boundaries Louis XIV conquered and defended with the aid of Vaubans abilities last to this day Ostwald Vauban Under Siege 9-13. Vauban is also seen as the first since the classic age of Rome to systematically build proper permanent barracks to accommodate soldiersa vital step in promoting their health well-being and discipline. The sieges conducted by Napoleons armies in the Iberian Peninsular in the second decade of the 19th century were clearly recognizable as Vauban-style assaults. So great was Napoleons esteem for Vauban that in May 1808 he honored Vauban by arranging to have his heart placed within the grand monument erected under the dome of the Invalides in Paris. Vaubans highly-renowned De lAttaque et de la Defense des Places. was the standard work for students of fortifications and siegecraft until the second half of the 19th century Gat Origins 35.

Of all the 17th- and 18th-century books "on military technology no works had greater influence or enjoyed greater prestige than those of Sebastien Le Prestre de Vauban the great military engineer of the reign of Louis XIV" Guerlac. Although a highly practical man and not a theoretician Vauban had written down the secrets of his success in the building and capturing of fortresses between 1669 and 1704. Vauban's strategic superiority could only remain if this information was kept secret so his texts circulated only within a very select circle. After Vauban's death they were leaked. "By the time the treatises became available Vauban's early readers must have been ready to believe that the text finally being made public did in fact contain incredible military secrets and have the power to make nations invincible. No other treatise of siegecraft had been surrounded by such secrecy" DeJean. The first volume contained Vauban's treatise on the attack of fortified places but the added part on defence was actually written by a colleague seigneur Deshoulières 1621-1693. A second volume published in 1742 contained Vauban's treatise on military mining and a general treatise on war.With library stamps. Binding slightly worn.

Projet d'une dixme royale:

1707ref. 152921Rouen: no printer but for the author 1707. A CLASSIC OF PUBLIC FINANCE Very rare first edition first issue with B4 in uncancelled state: on p. 16 a setier is given as weighing 170 rather than 240 pounds of "an erudite economic work much in advance of its time and distinguished both by accuracy of method and breadth of view" Palgrave "creditable alike to the heart and the head of its illustrious author" McCulloch. Carpenter lists six other printings dated 1707 all in smaller format and eight subsequent editions before 1710 including the English translation A Project for a Royal Tythe 1708; reissued in 1710 as An Essay for a General Tax. "Though the book was published anonymously and only a few copies issued for circulation among friends Vauban had to submit to the mortification of seeing it 'pilloried' by the parliament while he himself incurred the displeasure of the king Louis XIV. A few weeks later he died" Palgrave. Although the renowned soldier-engineer Vauban 1633-1707 wrote on a very wide variety of subjects apart from economics - fortifications war naval matters religion agriculture population and colonization - the Projet d'une Dixme royale is an outstanding work in the field of public finance. Its two most notable features are its understanding of the central role of fiscal policy in economic reform - the result of an exceptionally comprehensive grasp of the economic process - and its use of detailed numerical data to substantiate conclusions. Schumpeter pronounced the work "unsurpassed before or after in the neatness and cogency of the argument. Purposeful marshalling of all the available data was the essence of his analysis. Nobody ever understood better the true relation between facts and argument. It is this that makes him an economic classic in the eulogistic sense of the word and a forerunner of modern tendencies" Schumpeter History of Economic Analysis p. 204. According to Boislisle the first edition was printed in Rouen in 1706 at the initiative of the Abbé de Beaumont who is credited with the authorship of the work by Boisguilbert. Vauban had the sheets bound by the widow of a certain Fétil and took great pains that the book had no public circulation. It was prohibited on 14 February 1707 but apparently the police could only seize two copies. To the police the binder declared she had had 264 copies in total 12 bound in morocco the rest in calf. The two copies seized at the Abbé de Beaumont's were described as in "veau fauve" and marbled parchment. See Arthur Michel de Boislisle "La Proscription du projet de Dime Royale et la mort de Vauban" Mémoire lu à l'Académie des sciences morales et politiques Paris 1875. In the Society of Jesus a professed house was a residence where - in a spirit of radical poverty - no member had a stable income. The Jesuit priests who lived there all of whom have made the profession of the four vows undertake their spiritual and pastoral ministry completely for free. With no revenues these houses were dependent on the generosity of benefactors even for their daily needs. Quarto 245 x 185 mm.
