[REVOLUTION].
Recueil de 19 plaquettes sur les fêtes et célébrations révolutionnaires.
London, Cadell, 1790-1799.
More Details >
500 €
Set of pamphlets on the subject of the celebration of revolutionary festivals.
We have somewhat forgotten today that the Revolution, by putting aside religion, had proposed a whole paraphernalia of festivities to replace traditional festivals. We thus rediscover the Festivals of youth, Spouses, Modesty, agriculture..., celebrated in dedicated Temples (of the Law, of the Supreme Being...).

Jean-François-Xavier Pugnet (1765-1846) was a French military doctor who distinguished himself during the Egyptian campaign, first at the Rosette hospital and then at Cairo where he was confronted with the plague. He then went to the West Indies to study yellow fever and compare it to Levant fevers.
He compiles his observations from 1802, here the most complete edition plus the part on Saint Lucia.
The folding plate takes up a low relief collected in Egypt in a tomb representing the fertilization of the Earth by the Sun.

Good copy in contemporary morocco whose covers are gilded with the arms of Mesdames de France.

[MANUSCRIT].
Remarques sur le Gouvernement du royaume durant les trois règnes de Henri IV, de Louis XIII, de Louis XIV.
s.l., s.n., [v. 1750].
More Details >
500 €
Handwritten copy of a work published anonymously by Pierre Marteau in 1688. Barbier attributes the book to Gratien de Courtilz but adds: "Dubious".
The content is rather discourteous towards the monarchs, of whom inglorious episodes are recounted: the lack of merit of Louis XIII (Richelieu having governed for him), Louis XIV preferring the beds of his mistresses to the battlefields... This doubtless explains why handwritten copies were able to circulate under the cloak of the laughers. In fact, two other similar handwritten copies can be found in public libraries.
What remains is a very pretty manuscript, in a perfectly legible late 17th century handwriting.

New edition.
Epistolary fiction told in the form of letters exchanged between a Chinese, Hoang, and a European. It is a social and philosophical critique that highlights the absurdities of European society through the eyes of a foreign character, a process often used by the Enlightenment to offer an external perspective on the customs and beliefs of the time. The last volume contains the author's philosophical dreams in which he develops several political utopias.
[ENFANTIN, Prosper].
Economie politique et politique - articles extraits du Globe.
Paris, Au bureau du Globe, Juillet 1831.
More Details >
600 €
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.
Bound after another compilation attributed to Prosper Enfantin:

Beautiful printing on quality paper for this naval tactics book.

Réflexions sur ce que l'on appelle bonheur et malheur en matière de loteries, et sur le bon usage qu'on en peut faire.
Amsterdam, Georges Gallet, 1696.
More Details >
600 €
First edition.
Jean Le Clerc (1657-1736) was a Protestant theologian and pastor. He was a member of the Remontrants, disciples of Arminius, breaking with Calvinism on questions of grace and predestination. The lottery and games of chance, then very popular in the Netherlands, were an ideal subject for reflection on these subjects. By rejecting any idea of an "invisible hand" behind chance or good fortune, he ends up with an ultimately very modern definition of chance:
"Tous ces mots ne sont que des termes négatifs, comme je l'ai dit, & qui ne servent qu'à faire comprendre que l'effet, dont on parle, n'est pas la production d'une cause nécessaire & déterminée à la produire".
In other words, we speak of chance where we do not know the sum of the causes that determine the effect that we observe.

Théorie des ressemblances ou essai philosophique sur les moyens de déterminer les dispositions physiques et morales des animaux.

600 €
First edition.
Third part alone of the four parts that appeared over a period of almost thirty years. The first part appeared in 1831, the last in 1858. The subject, on the border between natural history and philosophy, consists in applying a rigorous analogy between animal forms and human psychology. In the tradition of Lavater, Gall and the physiognomists, the physical configuration of the organ is revealing of personal dispositions. Da Gama Machado was a commander and gentleman of the Royal House of the King of Portugal; he lived surrounded by his birds, which he cherished.
Presentation copy to Achille Comte (1802-1866).

Traité de l'association domestique-agricole (T1) (+) Sommaire du traité de l'association domestique-agricole ou attraction industrielle.
Bossange, Paris, 1822.
More Details >
750 €
First edition.
Copy signed by the author.
This treatise was intended, in the author's mind, to replace his theory of the four movements, the publication of which had met with little success.
He describes in a more practical way the phase of Harmony, in fact, it is the Rule (in the monastic sense) of his Phalanstery. Man is total there: cultivating his vegetable garden in the morning, composing poems in the afternoon, craftsman in the evening. Life is very finely regulated there: constant activity, dietetics (which he calls Gastrosophy), sexuality. Among the Fourierists, the union is free, each lustful preference accepted, but taxonomic passion of the moment, each sexual taste is classified, subdivided, organized... Fourier thus defines seventy-six types of cuckolding...
With the Supplement to the foreword paginated LXV-LXXX which is found in few copies.
Bound after, the rare "Sommaire" :
[FOURIER, Charles]. Sommaire du traité de l'association domestique-agricole ou attraction industrielle. Paris, Bossange, 1823. 16-[1329-1448] pages.
