In-8 (185 x 124 mm), demi-chagrin rouge, dos orné de filets estampés à froid surlignés de filets dorés, titre doré (rel. vers 1850), 194 p. faux-titre, titre, sommaire et errata compris, portrait gravé en frontispice. Edition originale, comportant la mention factice de "seconde édition" au titre, exemplaire bien complet de son feuillet d'errata. Portrait frontispice gravé de J.-B. Carrier. "Dans cet ouvrage publié à l'occasion du procès de J.-B. Carrier, l'auteur des noyades et massacres de Nantes, Gracchus Babeuf, père du communisme, soulève la question de la nature de la répression perpétrée par la Convention en Vendée. Ce livre doublement révolutionnaire, par son contenu et par son titre, se présente comme un réquisitoire très documenté et d'une incroyable modernité contre la politique dictatoriale menée par les Conventionnels et Robespierre" (Ed. du Cerf). Babeuf démontre que la guerre de Vendée est une guerre d'extermination, de destruction des personnes et des biens et dénonce un plan secret ourdi par Robespierre visant à réguler le rapport entre le nombre d'hommes et les ressources disponibles: le territoire français ne pouvant nourrir l'ensemble de sa population, il faudrait, par le biais de la Vendée, se débarrasser de la part excédentaire de cette population "surnuméraire". L'auteur forge le terme de "populicide" et dessine les contours de ce que le XXe siècle qualifiera de "génocide". (Monglond, III, 327. Martin & Walter, 949. Dommanget, 'Babeuf', n°17). Erreur de pagination sans manque, p. 152 à 155. Des feuillets bruns. Bon exemplaire, bien relié, non rogné.

2 ouvrages reliés en 2 volumes in-8 (196 x 123 mm), plein maroquin rouge de l'époque, dos lisses ornés de compartiments richement fleuronnés et cloisonnés, pièces de titre de maroquin vert bronze, plats encadrés de triples filets garnis de fleurons d'angle, roulettes sur les coupes et les chasses, tranches dorées, gardes de tabis bleu. Exemplaire d'auteur (?) 1- Édition originale et unique de ce projet de réformes politiques, économiques et administratives, donné sous forme d'un voyage imaginaire utopique: un naufragé aborde le pays des Sérosages… Planche gravée en regard de la p. 531, qui figure un curieux: "Tableau de culture, pendant vingt-quatre ans". L'originalité du projet, par ailleurs inspiré des idéaux physiocratiques, réside en ce que l'auteur, en disciple de Rousseau, fait reposer son modèle sur l'hypothèse anthropologique d'une bonté originelle de l'homme et sur un principe d’autorité fondé sur celui de la famille. Ainsi, le narrateur s'adresse-t-il au roi Alcidor pour préconiser prioritairement l'éradication des vices inhérents à la société avant toute réforme structurelle: "Sire , en détruisant le luxe, les moeurs s'épurent d'eux-mêmes , les villes se débarrassent, les campagnes se repeuplent, les terres se défrichent, la population augmente, l'émulation renaît, la circulation se rétablit, le Royaume devient un Paradis terrestre & Votre Majesté verra sous son règne un second âge d'or" (p. 696). (Goldsmiths, 10717. Higgs, 5385. INED, 3938. Kress, 6818. Weller, II, p. 188). 2- Édition originale. L'auteur soumet, sous forme de dictionnaire philosophique classé par article, un vade-mecum des idéaux économiques, politiques et sociaux fondés sur le populationnisme, la défense de l'agriculture et la liberté du commerce. On y trouve des articles sur l'accouchement, l'adoption, l'adultère, l'agriculture, les banqueroutes, le cadastre, le célibat, les courtisanes, le divorce, la famine, les fêtes, l'hôpital, les loteries, les salaires... "Très varié et fort intéressant. Théories sur l'excellence de la population et de l'agriculture, sur la nécessité de modérer l'industrie, sur les dangers du luxe, des colonies, etc." (cf. longue analyse in INED, 3937 sq.). (Goldsmiths, 10955. Higgs, 5646. Kress, 6975). Homme des Lumières, acquis aux idées physiocratiques, Gaspard Louis Rouillé d'Orfeuil (1732-1791) devint conseiller, puis maître des requêtes au parlement de Paris, président au Grand Conseil, intendant de La Rochelle, puis de Champagne. Tenu en grande estime par Diderot, il a laissé une réputation "d'intendant modèle". Exemplaire de l'auteur, sans doute, comportant deux rajouts manuscrits repliés en marge (p. 136 et 320) et une petite correction (p. 513). Les pièces d'auteur aux dos portent "L'Ami des Francois". Deux papillons imprimés, collés l'un au verso du titre de "l'Alambic" ; l'un pour signaler que "le manuscrit de cet ouvrage a été enlevé beaucoup trop tôt à l'auteur" et regretter les trop nombreuses erreurs non corrigées. L'autre p. 551 pour annoncer d'autres titres du même auteur à paraître. Quelques petits trous en pied d'une reliure. Certains feuillets légèrement froissés. Autre provenance: Viscount Mersey Bignor Park (ex-libris imprimé) Bel exemplaire très bien relié en maroquin rouge à l'époque, imprimé sur beau papier vergé.

Rare first German edition of this political and economic classic which constitutes Malthus' first major publication and his main work because of which he is considered the father of demography and one of the main sources of inspiration for Darwin and Wallace. It is the first translation of the "Principle on Population" into any language and it influenced German politics tremendously.The first edition was printed anonymously in London in 1798 and in 1803 the second edition which also according to Malthus himself can be said to constitute a new work appeared; -the great quarto edition from 1803 is thoroughly revised and much enlarged the title has been changed and Malthus' name appears on the title-page for the first time it is on this edition that all the preceding editions are based and in consequence also the early translations. All the later editions were minor revisions of the second one. In 1806 the third edition appeared and as soon as 1807 the first German one which is translated from the revised third edition "Die gegenwärtige Uebersetzung ist nach der dritten Ausgabe Oktav London 1806. Die Quartausgabe ist minder vollständig" Vorwort p. V. New revisions of the text kept appearing till the sixth edition in 1826. The book then as now is considered highly controversial and it has influenced all demographers ever since as well as being of immense importance to the study of economic theory and genetic inheritance. "The "Essay" was highly influential in the progress of thought in the early nineteenth-century Europe. "Parson" Malthus as Cobbett dubbed him was for many a monster and his views were often grossly misinterpreted. But his influence on social policy whether for good or evil was considerable. The Malthusian theory of population came at the right time to harden the existing feeling against the Poor Laws and Malthus was a leading spirit behind the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834." PMM 251.Thomas Robert Malthus 1766-1834 called the "enfant terrible" of the economists was an English demographer statistician and political economist who is best known for his groundbreaking views on population growth presented in his "Essays on the Principle of Population" which is based on his own prediction that population would outrun food supply causing poverty and starvation. Among other things this caused the legislation which lowered the population of the poor in England. Malthus actually turned political economic and social thought upside down with this work which has caused him to be considered one of the 100 most influential persons in history Hart The 100: A Ranking of the most Influential Persons in History 1978. Of course he was condemned by Marx and Engels and opposed by the socialists universally but the work was of immense impact on not only politics economics social sciences etc but also on natural sciences. "Later in the "Origin of Species" he Darwin wrote that the struggle for existence "is the doctrine of Malthus applied with manifold force to the whole animal and vegetable kingdoms; for in this case there can be no artificial increase of food and no prudential restraint from marriage" p. 63. Alfred Russel Wallace who arrived at a worked-out formulation of the theory of evolution at almost precisely the same time as Darwin acknowledged that "perhaps the most important book I read was Malthus's "Principles of Population" My Life p. 232. Although there were four decennial censuses before Malthus' death he did not himself analyze the data although he did influence Lambert Quetelet and Pierre Verhulst who made precise statistical studies on growth of populations in developed countries and showed how the early exponential growth changed to an S curve." DSB IX p. 69. As Malthus realized that his theories were not satisfactorily presented or sufficiently demonstrated in the first edition from 1798 he travelled for three years through Europe gleaning statistics and then published the second edition in 1803. Among other places he travelled through Northern Germany and his detailed diaries of these journeys provided him with some of the evidence necessary for the development of his theory on population growth. The observational information that he gathered on his travels in Europe were crucial to the development of his theories which also means that the work is of great interest for other European countries and not only Britain. "In 1819 the Royal Society elected Malthus to a fellowship. He was also a member of the French Institute and the Berlin Academy and a founding member of the Statistical Society 1834." DSB IX p. 67.
