‎Venezia, Tipografia di Antonio Curti, Presso Giustino Pasquali Q. Mario, 1797. Two works bound in one volume. viii, 207, (1) blank pp.; 68 pp. 8vo. Modern blue cloth, red label with gilt lettering to spine. First work: Sénelier 721; Dufour 169; this edition not found in RLIN or OCLC. First Italian edition of this translation, the first Italian translation (1796) was published outside Italy, in Paris. 'His fundamental thesis that government depends absolutely on the mandate of the people, and his genuine creative insight into a number of political and economic problems, gives his work an indisputable cogency. It had the most profound influence on the political thinking of the generation following its publication. It was, after all, the first great emotional plea for the equality of men in the state; others had argued that same cause theoretically but, had themselves tolerated a very different government ... it remains the crucial document of egalitarian government' (PMM).Second work: Sénelier 1470; OCLC lists copies at McGill and the Wellcome Library.First edition in Italian of Rousseau's important contribution to economics.Rousseau's article on political economy, originally written for publication in the Encyclopédie, remained his most explicit contribution to the subject. His sustained argument against luxury and conspicuous consumption of the rising European bourgeoisie implied a direct criticism and rejection of the mercantilists. His article, published well before any of the published statements of the Physiocrats, shows similarities or anticipates the physiocratic school in important issues of property and to some extent on taxation (He also cites China as an example). His Lockean discussion of the right of property and his treatment of taxation are of particular interest. Taxation is 'inevitable', and he suggests a tax on consumption, paid for by the buyer of non-essential items or services, foreshadowing modern VAT. Most importantly his single-minded opposition to economic inequality and his insistence that liberal laissez-faire was no substitute for a theory of social relations, influenced political reformers and political economists alike.Both works were translated by the Italian Niccolò Rota. - Old handwritten name on first title, light stain in upper inner margin of the first work, an uncut copy. ‎

‎Rare first edition of the first Danish translation of Rousseau's monumental work (Emilius, or an Essay on Education), being one of the absolutely most important and influential works on education. Virtually no work has had as great an impact on paedagogics as this one. Being one of the most influential thinkers of the 18th century, Rousseau is considered one of the indirect causes of the French Revolution. In Rousseau one certainly finds one of the most influential spokesmen for 18th century thought, and it is primarily the thoughts of him and Voltaire that are put into action with the Revolution. Not only in France can the effects of his philosophy and thoughts on upbringing and education be clearly seen -his ideas were of decisive character to the generation of artists, writers, poets, philosophers etc. in the beginning to middle of the 19th century, which seminally affects Danish thought, as it is in this period that our most important and famous cultural personas are being influenced (e.g. H.C. Andersen and Søren Kierkegaard)" thus this first Danish translation is of great importance and interest. In Danish literature there is talk about the Rousseauan spirit, and it is in this spirit that the entire literary production of H.C. Andersen can be viewed, -directly or indirectly. Rousseau's three main thoughts in Émile - on the childlike, on the natural and on simple religious faith - fits like a glove on the main messages and morals of H.C. Andersen's works.Søren Kierkegaard is known to have owned a copy of Rousseau's Émile in French as well as a copy of this first Danish translation (see ""Auktionsprotokol over Søren Kierkegaards Bogsamling"" no. 941-43). As opposed to H.C.A., though, the philosophy and educational program of Rousseau does not correspond with the Christianity of Kierkegaard, who, however, quotes and comments on R. and his writings on several occasions in his diaries.In Émile, Rousseau poses an entirely new approach to education and the upbringing of children. His thoughts were exceedingly controversial, the work was burnt by the executioner immediately after its first appearance and Rousseau had to flee the country due to a warrant for his arrest. There is no need to say that these new thoughts were also widely influential on Danish thought, and this especially after the appearance of the Danish translation (34-37 years after the French original). Not only Kierkegaard and H.C.A. were influenced by this great thinker, so were the likes of Ingemann, one of our greatest poets.""The first and last of these (i.e. Héloise and Émile), with their sentimental expression of deism, gave much offence, and Rousseau, like Voltaire, was forced to flee to Prussia. Restless and locally unpopular, he fled again to England, where he had a great welcome. Hume, who had offered him asylum, looked after him patiently..."" (PMM 207, Printing and the Mind of Man).
