Le Franc Archer de la vraye église, contre les abus et énormités de la fausse. 

s.l., Aux dépens de l'autheur, 1619.

1200 €

First edition.
Antoine Fusy, Jesuit and professor at the Sorbonne is at the beginning of the 17th century in breach of ban with his order. The Jesuit preachers indeed defended the merits of tyrannicide, which was an undisguised threat to the King of France who protected the Protestants of the kingdom.
While Henri IV was assassinated by a Catholic fanatic, Fusy went into exile in Geneva in 1619 and converted to Protestantism.
He wrote there this very violent pamphlet towards the Roman Church, whose style is sometimes quite raw.

Le Droit au bonheur : Charles Fourier, d’après Zola et Jaurès. 

Paris, Dentu, 1901.
More Details >
Sold

First edition.
Louise Marie Gagneur (1832-1902) was a French writer and feminist activist.
Essay inspired by the publication of Travail by Emile Zola. Gagneur celebrates Zola's novel, which highlights Fourierist ideas "with a power of eloquence, a depth, a philosophical scope, a mastery that make this incomparable book a glorious and victorious stage in our literary, philosophical and social movement" (p. 12).

Marie-Louise Gagneur believed in the transformative power of the intellectual production to which she contributed: "The transformation can therefore occur today without shock, without revolution, by the FORCE OF THE IDEA alone" (Droit au bonheur, p. 12).

Dialogues sur le commerce des bleds. 

Londres, s.n., 1770.
More Details >
1200 €

First edition.
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.

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).

First edition.
Zoé Charlotte de Gamond (1806-1854), Belgian feminist, disciple of Charles Fourier whose work she became a commentator. In September 1841, she bought a monastery in Burgundy, the famous abbey of Cîteaux, in order to establish a phalanstery there, the theoretical aspect of which she had imagined in this work. In particular, she gave a feminist tint to the theories of Charles Fourier. Fourier's "Harmony" was supposed to regenerate the condition of Women. This phalanstery, which operated until 1846, was a financial disaster. The De Gamond couple, thus ruined, returned to Brussels where they led a life of embarrassment and deprivation.

First edition.
The Annales de la Société des soi-disans Jésuites is a collection of historical acts, documents, and letters that was published between 1764 and 1771 to denounce the place of the Order of Jesuits in French society. The collection was produced by the Abbé Jean-Antoine Gazaignes and consists of five volumes (Last is missing in our copy). It contains information about the founding of the order, its doctrines, its activities, and its various political movements. The Annales are of great importance for understanding the history of the Jesuits and their influence on French society. The Annales have also served as the basis for many historical works and studies on the Jesuits and their role in French history.

First french edition.

William Godwin (1756-1836) is a British philosopher, precursor of anarchism and inspiration for the utilitarian movement.
This book is part of the controversy between Godwin and Malthus about the principle of population. For Malthus, the mathematical growth of the human population occurs at a rate greater than that of access to resources.
For Godwin, the "improvement of Man" (in fact technical progress) will make it possible to compensate for population growth, he says:
"if the earth, in all its habitable parts, could be made as fertile as China, it would be enough to feed a population of nine thousand million people" (volume II, p.212).

A debate that is still current.

Set of two books to be used in the history of the Seven Years' War.

The first in the original edition is a collection of letters between the Marshals of Belle-Isle (1684-1761) and of Contades (1704-1793) which we learn were "found among the papers of Monsieur de Contades after the battle from Minden ".
The Battle of Minden was a decisive French defeat in the Seven Years' War. Despite a clear numerical superiority the French led by Contades bowed to the Anglo-Prussians. The Seven Years' War will mark the beginning of the loss of influence of France in Europe and the beginning of English hegemony (which will be definitively recorded at Waterloo).

Followed by :
Collection of letters from H. M. the King of Prussia, to be used in the history of the last war, Leipsick, At the expense of the associated booksellers, 1773
Second complete edition of both parts.
