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.

A fine set, with an interesting provenance, of Rousset's large collection of state papers and treatises which stands as a crucial resource for understanding European diplomacy spanning the period after the Treaty of Utrecht until the early 1740s. The compilation includes numerous documents related to American and East Indian affairs, with a focus on overseas trading companies, notably those of the Netherlands, England, and Sweden. Jean Rousset de Missy (1686–1762) was a French Huguenot historian and journalist. He was born in Nîmes, France, and later became a prominent figure in the intellectual and cultural circles of his time. Rousset de Missy was known for his historical writings and contributions to periodicals, and he played a role in documenting and analyzing significant events in European history. Provenance: Carl Juel, Danish statesman and owner of Valdemar's Castle.
Paris, Bossange père, 1824. With 6 folding tables. (4), 234 pp. 8vo. Modern half morocco, marbled boards, gilt lettering. Kress C.1330; not in Goldsmiths; not in Einaudi; not in INED; Coquelin & Guillaumin, ii, p. 560. First edition. This is a history of public finances during the Restoration and of the establishment of public credit in France. The author was born in Bellay, around 1760, and died in Strasbourg in 1846. He started his career with a trading company in Lyon, and after that went to work for the house of Delessert in Paris. He founded himself a trading company but with little success. He became regent of the Banque de France, member of the Chamber of Commerce of Paris and one of the editors of the Code de Commerce. In 1819, he established the world's first school of management, a kind of business school providing special instruction for young people who had finished their academic studies and intended to pursue a career in commerce and industry. Roux's school, the École Supérieure de Commerce de Paris, still exists today as the ESCP-EAP "European School of Management", with branches in Paris, Oxford, Madrid and Berlin. - A very nice copy with ample margins.
