Le Fou du Palais Royal. 

Paris, Librairie Sociétaire, 1845.

Second edition, completely revised by the author.
French politician, François Cantagrel is a disciple of Charles Fourier for whom he founded the newspaper La Phalange.
He was an active propagandist of Fourierism thanks, among other things, to his Fou du Palais Royal, published in 1841 and which the Fourierists had to republish in 1845, which had a huge impact. This humorous work certainly steered more men towards Fourierism than Fourier's own works.

First editions.

Charles de Calonne (1734-1802) was Necker's successor as finance minister to Louis XVI between 1784 and 1787.
After his resignation, the former minister fell out of favor and faced many attacks on his administration and France's growing deficit. In this book, he explained his defence to the king, facing five charges against the subjects of acquisitions and exchanges, operations in the revision of currencies, funds from the royal treasury provided clandestinely to support the "agiotage" (financial speculative practice), extensions of loans, and abuses of authority and other abuses of authority of all kinds.
The second book, published shortly afterwards, is the sequel in which Calonne provides many in-depth insights.

Voyage en Icarie. 

Paris, Au Bureau du populaire, 1848.

350 €

Fifth edition.
Major work by Cabet in which he describes his socialist utopia.
Etienne Cabet places himself alongside Charles Fourier or Robert Owen among the promoters of alternative social projects. Cabet is the first philosopher to describe himself as a communist.
In 1849, Cabet went to the United States to try to found an Icarian community there.

Copy which was bound for François Barrier, central personality of the Fourierist movement, he adhered to the Fourierist doctrine in 1843. He was, in 1845, one of the founders of the Phalansterian project of the African Agricultural Union and became the main leader and financial support from the Lyon School of Society in the 1850s. He created a “Fourierist” bank which notably financed the Texas phalanstery. In 1864, he left Lyon and his career as a surgeon to go to Paris to reorganize the School of Society and devote himself to writing Fourierist treatises.

Histoire populaire de la Révolution française. 

Paris, Pagnerre, 1839-1840.
More Details >
Sold

First edition.
Etienne Cabet is a French political thinker who was the first, in 1840, to define himself as a “communist”.
His history of the French Revolution is conceived in opposition to the history given by Tiers, which Cabet considers a bourgeois view of the Revolution.
Cabet tells its story from the point of view of the People and for the People. He offers a version that could be described as Marxist before Marx.
The first half of the first volume is devoted to the History of the French until 1789, a work which is reminiscent, a hundred years in advance, of Howard Zinn and his Popular History of the United States.

Cours d'Histoire Constitutionnelle donnés à l'École libre des sciences politiques. 

s.l., s.n., 1886.
More Details >
2000 €

Original manuscripts.
Rare and well-preserved set of two constitutional history courses given at Sciences Po Paris in 1886 by the founders of the school: Emile Boutmy and Alexandre Ribot.
Perfectly readable and careful manuscripts by a writer who will remain unknown who was a listener of Emile Boutmy's course on the Constitution of the United States in May-June 1886 and the course on the French Constitution since 1789 given by Alexandre Ribot in February-March 1886.
Created by Emile Boutmy in the aftermath of the 1870 defeat and the Paris Commune, the École Libre des Sciences Politiques (now known as Sciences-Po) aimed to teach political science as a positive science. She will form the elite of french politicians until today.
1886 was the last year in which Boutmy gave his course on the Constitution of the United States; we know a transcription of it in the notes left by Pierre de Coubertin who was also a listener of this course the same year. A comparison of the transcription of Coubertin's notes and our manuscript leads us to believe that our collection is more faithful (seems to be a word for word transcription) of Boutmy's teaching.

Alexandre Ribot's course on the French Constitution (second part of a more extensive course on European constitutions) leaves an important part on the birth of the Third Republic whose constitutional laws were only passed in 1875.
