‎FOURIER, CH.F.M.‎
‎La fausse industrie morcelée, répugnante, mensongère, et l'antidote, l'industrie naturelle, combinée, attrayante, véridique, donnant quadruple produit (et perfection extrème en toutes qualités, added to title of volume 2).‎

‎Paris, Bossange père, l'auteur, 1835-1836. 2 volumes bound in 1. 8vo. Modern half calf, spine gilt with gilt lettering, marbled boards, top edge gilt, original covers preserved, uncut. Del Bo, Fourier, 7; Kress C.3953; Goldsmiths 29298; Einaudi 1952; Stammhammer, i, 80. First edition. The collation, which is very difficult and irregular, is identical with the collation given by Del Bo. It is one of the rarest works by Fourier, not reprinted in the Oeuvres Complètes and one of the most important of his later works. It was intended as the continuation of his "Réforme industrielle", of which the plan of the work was revised almost without interruption (and at the same time answering continuous criticism from the press) which led to a very irregular pagination. The principles and ideas of Fourier however remain the same. - Lightly browned, with the original covers which is very rare. ‎
