First edition.
This first edition was not put on the market but distributed to a privileged few before the publication of the work by the Imprimerie royale. It contains two watercolor folding maps showing the divisions of tax and drafts on French territory and a folded table of Income and expenses carried to the Royal Treasury. The “Report to the King” is one of the “economic bestsellers” of the Ancien Régime. (The printings of the Imprimerie royale were distributed to the public in some forty thousand copies). It remains a source of primary importance for the financial and fiscal history of France. In this famous plea for transparency in public finances, Jacques Necker (1734-1802), Minister of Finance to Louis XVI from 1776 to 1781, details the functioning of royal finances, the principles of its administration and the financial situation of the country. But the author also reveals the lists of pensions paid by the State to certain members of the nobility, with the names of their beneficiaries and their amounts. The scandal that followed the publication of the work led the minister to resign on May 19, 1781.

Pompéry was accused of promoting a false doctrine, under the guise of societal theory.

First edition.
Following the establishment of the Portuguese court in Brazil (1808) and the opening of ports to foreigners, an immense country opened up to international trade.
Brazil then aroused the interest of French economists who saw it as a testing ground for liberal ideas.
Horace Say predicted an upcoming economic boom in Brazil and drew from it an economic model for the future French colonial empire which then began to develop.

Presentation copy to Philip Taylor, English business manager based in Marseille. The Say and Taylor families, both Protestants, have been friends since the young Says’ study and work stay in England. They found themselves around the sugar industry, Horace Say's uncle founded the Say sugar factory (current Béghin-Say), and Philip Taylor the elder, a British machine designer, sold equipment, particularly in France for sugar refineries.
