First edition.
Édouard de Pompéry (1812-1895), French political journalist, publicist and essayist. He worked to bring together the work of the Freemason lodges and the theories of Charles Fourier.
This work was the subject of a fierce polemic with the editors of La Phalange (the journal of the Fourierists of the First Circle). The controversy centered on the notion of free will and the ability of each individual to act or not to act on the course of things. Pompéry was accused of promoting a false doctrine, under the guise of societal theory.

Cours d'Infanterie.

1600 €

First edition.
Infantry course given by Colonel Philippe Pétain at the War School in 1911.
Major document for understanding the strategic thinking of the future hero of Verdun.
This course was only rediscovered and studied in 1960 by General Jean Delmas and published for the first time in 2010 by Editions du Cosmogone.
Pétain taught the infantry course at the War School between 1908 and 1911. His course is divided into three parts: the first two, of around a hundred pages each, are devoted to the story and study of combat. infantry that Pétain considers exemplary (Auerstedt in 1806, Saint-Privas in 1870). The third part, of only fifty pages, offers an uncompromising analysis of the infantry regulations in use in the French army between 1870 and 1902. It promotes a change in the doctrine of use of the infantry which must no longer expose itself to enemy fire as the Napoleonic vision of combat wanted.

Through its concern to spare the blood of men, this course clearly announces the Pétain of 1917-1918.
