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.

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.

Beautiful copy for this edition bringing together Massillon's sermons.
Jean-Baptiste Massillon (1663-1742) was bishop of Clermont and academician, he is often compared to Bourdaloue and Bossuet.

Voltaire, who had Le Petit Carême read to him during his meals, said of him: “The preacher who knew the world best; more flowery than Bourdaloue, more pleasant, and whose eloquence smacks of the man of the court, the academician, and the man of wit; moreover, a moderate and tolerant philosopher. ».

First edition.
Deciphering of the hieroglyphic language by Champollion.
The Rosetta Stone, brought back by the Napoleonic expeditions to Egypt, gave the same text in three different languages, it is the key that gave Champollion the understanding of the language of the ancient Egyptians.
After laying down the principle of phonetic writing in 1822 in his Letter to M. Dacier, he continued his work and his demonstrations until he had an intimate knowledge of this language: "It is a complex system, a writing at the same time figurative, symbolic and phonetic, in the same text, the same sentence, I would almost say in the same word"

His Precis of the hieroglyphic system gives us with many examples an unprecedented understanding of hieroglyphs, thus cutting the grass under the feet of his opponents (and competitors) such as Thomas Young.

The discovery of Champollion suddenly gave humanity access to three millennia of its history.

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.

Colonie Sociétaire de Condé-Sur-Vesgre. 

Paris, Au Bureau de la réforme industrielle, 1832.
More Details >
850 €

First edition.
Rare document on the creation of the colony of Condé-sur-Vesgre.

The societary colony of Condé-sur-Vesgre was the first Fourierist achievement and the only one in which Fourier participated. The initiative was launched in the second half of 1832 by Alexandre Baudet-Dulary with the support of the Fourierist newspaper "Le Phalanstère" which would relay the calls for funds.

Our publication presents the project for the creation of the society that would manage the colony. It presents the statutes of the future society and an approximate estimate of the expenses. The designated managers are Devay, Just Muiron, Victor Considérant, and A. Transon. The role assigned to Charles Fourier is "director of the societary mechanism".

This society will be created during the year 1833 with the installation of the first settlers on the site of Condé-sur-Vesgre. The colony, after many difficulties, is still in activity almost two hundred years later.

Scarce first edition of the only work by the first female disciple of Charles Fourier.
Clarisse Vigoureux (1789-1865), born Charlotte-Dorothée-Claire Gauthier, was a fervent follower of Fourier's theories: it was she who introduced Victor Considerant to Fourierism (the latter married his daughter Julie).
She put her personal fortune at the service of the Fourierist cause by financing Phalanges (the journal of Charles Fourier) and later the exile of Considerant and then their attempt to found the Réunion phalanstery in Texas. Ruined, she will end her life alone in San Antonio.

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 African Agricultural Union and became the main leader and financial supporter from the Lyon Corporate School in the 1860s.

His work responded to the Words of a Believer, published in April 1834 by Lamennais, in which he promoted violence in the service of the class struggle. Clarisse Vigoureux, deeply pacifist and feminist, will answer him:
"What is this war cry and this reverberation which has been heard on all sides? [...] I ask the stronger sex who knows how to dethrone their kings, and who, calling himself a king, does not know how to hold the reins of the world" (excerpt from the preface)
This book will be condemned by the Roman Church and put in the Index catalog on September 22, 1836.

On the false title we see. finds the following mention written in pencil : "Given by Miss Beuque to Mr Barrier. (April 1845). Aimée Beuque (1788-1871) met Charles Fourier at Clarisse Vigoureux in 1828 and immediately adhered to his ideas, she will lead the Fourierist circles of Lyon. François Barrier, professor of medicine at the Faculty of Lyon, adhered to the Fourierist doctrine in 1844.
