Goldsmiths 11375. Kress 6846. Palgrave I, 273. Quérard II, 247. - Seltene erste Ausgabe des wichtigen ökonomischen Werks. F.-J. de Chastellux (1734-1788) entwickelt die Vision einer auf Landwirtschaft basierenden Idealgesellschaft, in welcher der Souverän vor allem die Zufriedenheit der Bevölkerung fördert. - "Cet ouvrage, s'il est démodé dans la forme, est pourtant plein d'idées qui ne discréditeraient pas un livre de notre temps. En particulier, il a traité de la question de la population un quart de siècle plus tôt que Malthus" (Palgrave). - Chastellux war mit Voltaire und den Enzyklopädisten befreundet. Während des Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskriegs kämpfte er in der Armee von Rochambeau. Dabei lernte er auch George Washington persönlich kennen und über diesen später auch Thomas Jefferson. 1781 wurde er sowohl in die American Academy of Arts and Sciences als auch in die American Philosophical Society gewählt. - Vorderes Gelenk etwas berieben, Kapital etwas bestoßen, mod. Exlibris (Jacques Lager, 1877-1952), St. a. T., sehr gutes dekorativ gebundenes Exemplar.
