Economie politique et politique - articles extraits du Globe. 

Paris, Au bureau du Globe, Juillet 1831.
More Details >
600 €

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.

Bound after another compilation attributed to Prosper Enfantin:

Réflexions sur ce que l'on appelle bonheur et malheur en matière de loteries, et sur le bon usage qu'on en peut faire. 

Amsterdam, Georges Gallet, 1696.
More Details >
600 €

First edition.
Jean Le Clerc (1657-1736) was a Protestant theologian and pastor. He was a member of the Remontrants, disciples of Arminius, breaking with Calvinism on questions of grace and predestination. The lottery and games of chance, then very popular in the Netherlands, were an ideal subject for reflection on these subjects. By rejecting any idea of an "invisible hand" behind chance or good fortune, he ends up with an ultimately very modern definition of chance:
"Tous ces mots ne sont que des termes négatifs, comme je l'ai dit, & qui ne servent qu'à faire comprendre que l'effet, dont on parle, n'est pas la production d'une cause nécessaire & déterminée à la produire".
In other words, we speak of chance where we do not know the sum of the causes that determine the effect that we observe.

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.
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.

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 edition.
Gabriel Bonnot de Mably was Condillac's brother, although today less known than his parent, his innovative work of political philosophy places him among the precursors of what will become communism. In particular, he proposed to limit land ownership rights.
As a fine geopolitical analyst, he published his Treaty of Negotiations at the start of the Seven Years' War, after the overthrow of the alliance which will set Europe (and the world) on fire.

"His concepts of power, of world legal order, of moralizing the relations between people, peoples and states, undoubtedly still have a lot to teach us." Florence Gauthier, Extract from the preface for the reissue of the text in 2003

Our copy bearing the arms of Emmanuel Dieudonné de Hautefort (1700-1777), a diplomat who was french ambassador to Vienna from 1749 to 1752 and who was therefore at the heart of European diplomacy in this troubled period of the 18th century. It was indeed during this period that negotiations between France and Austria began to initiate a European diplomatic revolution.

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.
