London [ie. Paris]: 1786., 1786. 8vo. pp. 3 p.l., 246. old half calf, rebacked. One of several issues with identical imprint, this one being Gerits' issue 'B'. The present work and Dupont de Nemours' earlier memoir (1782) are the two major contemporary biographies of the great French statesman, economist, and financial reformer. The Life is also important for containing an early contribution to mathematical economics, in a passage where Condorcet discusses the various mathematical ways "in which indirect taxation could be replaced by direct taxation and the effects of such a change". (Theocharis, Early Development in Maathematical Economics, p. 65) A.Gerits in Harvard Library Bulletin, 1992-93, Vol. III, No. 4. cfCioranescu 20417. cfEinaudi 1217. cfGoldsmiths' 13128. cfKress B.1031-33.

1795. Paris, Agasse, l'an III de la République, une et indivisible (1795). 8vo. Bound in a very nice newer pastiche-binding in full mottled calf. Five raised bands and gilt title-label to spine. A very nice, clean, fresh, and attractive copy. VIII, 389 pp. The rare first edition of Condorcet's main work, "the most fully developed exposition of the progress of man" (Printing and the Mind of Man, p. 149) and a main work of the Enlightenment as well as of historical thought in general. The author was the creator of what came to found the basis for the modern French system. The great French philosopher, political thinker and mathematician, M.J.A. Condorcet (1743 - 1794), played a seminal role in 18th century France. He was friends with the likes of d'Alembert, Voltaire, Turgot etc., and he greatly contributed to the social and political debates of politically turbulent France. As one of the few, he advocated a liberal economy, equality in public education as well as in gender and race etc. He preached…
