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.

De la Recherche de la Vérité. 

Paris, Bordelet, 1749.

250 €

During the publication of this treatise (first ed. : 1675), the first published by Malebranche, his contemporaries especially retained Cartesianism: dualism of thought and extension, rule of evidence, method using the Regulae of Descartes, influence of Dioptrics and the Treatise on Man, Cartesian physics. Even the concept of the soul, a simple occasion for the movements of the body, could be drawn from the Cartesians La Forge and Cordemoy. Malebranche still appears as one of many Cartesians trying to relate to Augustinianism. The break with Cartesianism came with the publication of Enlightenments on the Search for Truth (1678). Until then centered on man, Malebranche's thought here operates a theocentric reversal. From now on, everything starts from God. All physical relationships, like all moral values, are only the expression of an immutable Order.
Many figures in the text.

First edition.
Decoding 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.
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.

First edition in French.
Preface by Francis Delaisi.
Work written from conferences given in Geneva in 1927, on the eve of the great recession.
Fisher, who was concerned about the stability of the currency established on the gold standard, described exactly what was going to happen in 1929:
"For example, suppose that in ten years from now gold becomes so rare as to reduce our gold reserves to legal percentages; [...] The circulation of goods will quickly gain speed over the circulation of money; the price level will fall, and there will be business depression, unemployment and all the evils which are the inevitable results of considerable deflation" (p.122)
Adopting the gold standard in 1928, France accumulated gold stocks (France's gold reserves increased from 7% of world reserves in 1926 to 27% in 1932) sucking up the world's gold and starting the process described above.
