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.

Book revised and published by Diderot from a manuscript by Ferdinando Galiani, in which the latter expresses reservations about the free trade in grain adopted by the edicts of 1763 and 1764.
Galiani is indeed opposed to the export of wheat outside France, while French regions may still experience periods of famine.
This is one of the first criticisms of nascent economic liberalism.
What will be worth to him to be strongly attacked by the spirit of time, Turgot judging that the step of Galiani is representative of the stubborn refusal, and obscurantist, of the scientific novelty.

First edition.
Work whose collection title is "Saint-Simonian Religion", a curious quasi-sectarian economic movement led by Prosper Enfantin, under the honorary title of Supreme Father. This ideological movement, originally based on the socio-economic and political doctrine of Claude-Henri de Rouvroy de Saint-Simon, promotes confidence in technical progress, the certainty that it is in a moral industry that the condition of happiness, freedom and emancipation resides. Under the influence of Prosper Enfantin, the movement becomes a religion, with some attempts at communities.

Ensemble de Documents et brochures sur le phalanstère fouriéristes d'Algerie. 

s.l., s.n., 1845-1850.

2500 €

The project of the Agricultural Union of Africa was born from the meeting of French colonial interests in Algeria and the Fourierist desire to found a community following the phalansterian principles. These interests came together in Lyon where there was an active Fourierist group with the meeting of Captain Gautier, an officer of the Army of Africa, with Miss Aimée Beuque, a convinced Fourierist.
The project of a civil joint stock company running a colony in Algeria took shape during the year 1845 and the Agricultural Union of Africa was founded in December 1845. Its goal was to experiment with the Fourierist principle of associating capital, labor and talent.
It has thirty-three members including the members of the organizing committee: Fleury Imbert, François Barrier, Felix Beuque and Sister (Aimée), Captain Gautier...
On November 8, 1846, a royal ordinance authorized the Lyon Committee to found a Civil Colonization Society on the condition that it welcome three hundred European families, at least two-thirds of whom must be of French origin. Louis Philippe allocates three thousand hectares to the Union at the foot of the hills of the Sig Valley, eighteen kilometers from the sea, on the road from Oran to Mascara.
The first settlers will settle in Algeria during the year 1847. Gradually losing the Fourierist essence of the beginning, the Sig colony will nevertheless last until the end of the 19th century.

Inthis volume, are bound a series of documents from the organizing committee of the Agricultural Union of Africa:

- Draft Statutes of a Civil Society, For the Exploitation of a Rural Property in Algeria, Lyon, Dumoulin, 1845. 23 pages.
First edition.
One of the first documents relating to the Union. It presents the draft statutes of the company before its foundation, which would not take place until the end of 1845. The document also presents the members of the organizing committee and the list of the first subscribers.

- The Agricultural Union of... Civil joint-stock company for the exploitation of a rural property in Africa, Lyon, Boitel, [1845]. 16 pages.
First edition.
Work of the organizing committee from its formation until October 25, 1845. The end of the document gives the model of the power of attorney to be sent to subscribers for the founding of the company.

- Letter of application for membership, November 1845. 3 pages
Document in civil character probably sent to the subscribers who, on the eve of the filing of the application for a concession, seek to extend the number of concessionaires from ten to twelve people.
"ten to twelve people capable by their wealth and their position of lending us effective support."

- Plan with caption, (nd). (2) folding plates.
Probably the plan of the colony as it was planned in the early days of the project. It shows an enclosure of 400x300 meters grouping together residential and manufacturing buildings.

- Contract of enrollment of associated workers, Lyon, December 15, 1846. 2 pages.
Exceptional document presenting the contract that linked the Union with the associated workers.
Our copy is completed and countersigned by Félix Beuque (member of the board of directors) and Jacob Held, a 36-year-old ploughman and shoemaker from Geneva. Jacob Held commits for one year and becomes a shareholder with 50 francs.

- Pay scale for associated workers and Supplies scale, (nd). (2) pages.
Fascinating document for understanding the internal economy of the Union. Each worker is both an employee and an associate, the salary scale is defined for all hierarchical levels.
It should be noted that while women can claim a maximum of 70% of a man's salary, they can nevertheless access the position of special director of the 1st class (highest position after the General Director). We also see that a salary of 25 francs per year is provided for children from 0 to 5 years old...
On the back, we find the rate for accommodation and full board (with different meal and accommodation options).
Thus, a Worker's Assistant (14th class) will receive 504 francs per year and will spend at least 360 francs on food and 20 francs on accommodation.

- Union Agricole d'Afrique: Extract from the statutes..., Lyon, Boitel, (nd). (4) pages.
