‎Adam Smith (5 juin 1723 - 17 juillet 1790) est un philosophe et économiste écossais des Lumières. Il reste dans lhistoire comme le père des sciences économiques modernes, dont l'uvre principale, publiée en 1776, La Richesse des nations, est un des textes fondateurs du libéralisme économique. Professeur de philosophie morale à l'université de Glasgow, il consacre dix années de sa vie à ce texte qui inspire les grands économistes suivants, ceux que Karl Marx appellera les « classiques » et qui poseront les grands principes du libéralisme économique.

Spines with light soiling and capital on volume 1 lacking a small part of the leather. A few light brown spots throught. A fine set. VIII, 632 pp"" XII, 740 pp.‎

‎First German edition, also being the very first overall translation, of Adam Smith's ground-breaking main work, the ""Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations"". This seminal first translation of the work was undertaken by J.F. Schiller, who finished the first part of the translation in time for it to appear as soon as 1776, the same year as the original English edition. The second part appeared in 1778, the same year as the exceedingly scarce first French translation. This first German translation has been of the utmost importance to the spreading of Smith's ideas throughout Europe, and, after the true first, this must count as the most important edition of the work.""The influence of the Wealth of Nations [...] in Germany [...] was so great that 'the whole of political economy might be divided into two parts - before and since Adam Smith"" the first part being a prelude, and the second a sequel."" (Backhouse, Roger E., The Methodology of Economics: Nineteenth-Century British Contributions, Routledge, 1997.)""The first review of the translation, which appeared in the Göttingische gelehrte Anzeigen for March 10, 1777, by J. G. H. Feder, professor of Philosophy at the University of Göttingen, was very favorable. In the words of the reviewer: ""It is a classic"" very estimable both for its thorough, not too limited, often far-sighted political philosophy, and for the numerous, frequently discursive historical notes,"" but the exposition suffers from too much repetition."" (Lai, Cheng-chung. Adam Smith Across Nations: Translations and Receptions of The Wealth of Nations, Clarendon Press, UK, 2000).Until 1797, [...], the work of Adam Smith received scant attention in Germany. While Frederick II was living, Cameralism held undisputed sway in Prussia, and the economic change which began with the outbreak of the French Revolution had still not gained sufficient momentum to awake the economic theorists from their dogmatic slumber."" (Lai, Cheng-chung. Adam Smith Across Nations: Translations and Receptions of The Wealth of Nations, Clarendon Press, UK, 2000).Various German economist read the german translations and was inspired by it.""Christian Garve, [...], must be considered as among the important contributors to the spread of Smith's views. Himself a popularizer of philosophical doctrines, he was early attracted by the Scotch writers and became one of their foremost exponents in Germany."" In 1791 Garve began a second translation of the Smith's work and in the introduction to the the translation he wrote: ""It (Smith's work) attracted me as only few books have in the course of my studies through the number of new views which it gave me not only concerning the actual abject of his investigations, but concerning all related material from the philosophy of civil and social life"". Georg Sartorius, August Ferdinand Lueder and, perhaps the most important economist of the period, Christian Jacob Kraus, were all important figures in the spread of Smith's thought. ""The most significant of Kraus' works and that also which shows his conception of economic science most clearly is the five-volume work entitled State Economy. The first four volumes of this work are little more than a free paraphrase of the Wealth of Nations"". Kraus was: ""to a large extent responsible for the economic changes which took place in Prussia after 1807, in so far as they can be ascribed to Smithan influence."" (Lai, Cheng-chung. Adam Smith Across Nations: Translations and Receptions of The Wealth of Nations, Clarendon Press, UK, 2000).Kraus wrote of the present volume: ""[T]he world has seen no more important book than that of Adam Smith.... [C]ertainly since the times of the New Testament no writing has had more beneficial results than this will have.... [Smith's doctrines form] the only true, great, beautiful, just and beneficial system."" (Fleischacker, Samuel , A Third Concept of Liberty, Princeton University Press, 1999.)_____________Hailed as the ""first and greatest classic of modern thought"" (PMM 221), Adam Smith's tremendously influential main work has had a profound impact on thought and politics, and is considered the main foundation of the era of liberal free trade that dominated the nineteenth century. Adam Smith (1723-1790) is considered the founder of Political Economy in Britain, mainly due to his groundbreaking work, the ""Wealth of Nations"" from 1776. The work took him 12 years to write and was probably in contemplation 12 years before that. It was originally published in two volumes in 4to, and was published later the same year in Dublin in three volumes in 8vo. The book sold well, and the first edition, the number of which is unknown, sold out within six months, which came as a surprise to the publisher, and probably also to Smith himself, partly because the work ""requires much thought and reflection (qualities that do not abound among modern readers) to peruse to any purpose."" (Letter from David Hume, In: Rae, Life of Adam Smith, 1895, p. 286), partly because it was hardly reviewed or noticed by magazines or annuals. In spite of this, it did evoke immense interest in the learned and the political world, and Buckle's words that the work is ""in its ultimate results probably the most important book that has ever been written"", and that it has ""done more towards the happiness of man than has been effected by the united abilities of all the statesmen and legislators of whom history has preserved an authentic account"" (History of Civilisation, 1869, I:214) well describes the opinion of a great part of important thinkers then as well as now.

‎The extremely scarce first Danish edition of Adam Smith's seminal main work, ""the first and greatest classic of modern economic thought"" (PMM 221), the main foundational work of the era of liberal free trade. This publication constitutes the first Danish work worth mentioning in the history of economic thought - in spite of the great interest in political economy that dominated Danish political thought in the last quarter of the 18th century. The value of Smith's work was not immediately recognized in Denmark at the time of its appearance and a quarter of a century had to go by for its importance to be acknowledged and for Danish political economy to adapt the revolutionizing theories of Adam Smith. Few copies of the translation were published and sold, and the book is now a great scarcity. As opposed to for instance the German translation of the work, Smith concerned himself a great deal with this Danish translation. As is evident from preserved correspondence about it, he reacted passionately to it and was deeply concerned with the reaction to his work in Scandinavia (see ""Correspondence of Adam Smith"", Oxford University Press, 1977).- As an example, Smith writes in a letter to Andreas Holt on Oct. 26th, 1780: ""It gives me the greatest pleasure to hear that Mr. Dreby has done me the distinguished honour of translating my Book into the Danish language. I beg you will present to him my most sincere thanks and most respectful Compliments. I am much concerned that I cannot have the pleasure of reading it in his translation, as I am so unfortunate as not to understand the Danish language."" The translation was made by Frants Dræby (1740-1814), the son a whiskey distiller in Copenhagen, who mastered as a theologian and was then hired by the great Norwegian merchant James Collett as tutor to his son. There can be no doubt that Dræbye's relation to the Collett house had a great impact upon his interest in economics. In the middle of the 1770'ies, Dræbye accompanied Collett's son on travels throughout Europe, which took them to England in the year 1776, the same year that the ""Wealth of Nations"" was published for the first time. Through the Colletts, Dræbye was introduced to the mercantile environment in England and here became thoroughly acquainted with English economics and politics at the time. It is presumably here that he gets acquainted with Adam Smith's freshly published revolutionary work. When Dræbye returned to Denmark at the end of 1776, he was appointed chief of the Norwegian secretariat of the Board of Economics and Trade. He began the translation of the ""Wealth of Nations"" that he brought back with him from England immediately after his return.""WN [i.e. Wealth of Nations] was translated into Danish by Frants Dræbye and published in 1779 (three years after the first English edition). The translation was initiated by Andreas Holt and Peter Anker, who were acquainted with Smith. Dræbye was a Dane who lived mainly in Norway, reflecting the fact that Norway was much more British-oriented than Denmark proper (Denmark and Norway were united until 1814, when Sweden took Norway away from the Danes"" in 1905 Norway became an independent state). Norwegian merchants lived from exporting timber to Britain and tended on the whole to be adherents of a liberal economic policy, whereas the absolutist government in Copenhagen was more German-oriented and had economic views similar to those in contemporary Prussia."" (Cheng-chung Lai (edt.): ""Adam Smith Across Nations"", p. (37)). The last quarter of the eighteenth century in Denmark was dominated by a lively discussion of monetary policy and the institutional framework best suited to realize that policy. There was a vital interest in questions of economic concern, and contemporary Danish sources refer to the period as ""this economic age"" and state things such as ""never was the world more economically minded"" (both from ""Denmark and Norway's Economic Magazine""). During this period, Smith's revolutionary ideas did not play a major role, however, and only at the beginning of the 19th century did Danish politicians and economists come to realize the meaning of Smith's views. ""Without exaggeration it can essentially be said that a quarter of a century was to pass from the time of the publication of the book in Denmark before Danish political economy fully made Adam Smith's theories and points of view its own. It took so long a time because the economic conditions as a whole in the years from 1780-1800 did not make desirable or necessary the changing of their concepts. That glorious commercial period had to pass before it was understood that we had altogether too little help in our own natural resources and that a different course was, therefore, necessary. Only when one had come so far could the new thinking find a nourishing soil so that it could develop strength with which to push aside the old ideas.""(Hans Degen: ""On the Danish Translation of Adam Smith and Contemporary Opinion Concerning It."" Translated by Henrietta M. Larson. In: Adam Smith Across Nations, p. 51). This first Danish translation is one of the very earliest translations of ""Wealth of Nations"""" it is only preceded by the German (1776-78) and the extremely scarce French (1778-79).

‎Sur la célèbre femme de lettres, polémiste, salonnière féministe et républicaine Juliette Adam, née Lambert (1836-1936). — Juliette Adam veuve de Alexis La Messine en 1867, épouse l'avocat Edmond Adam, député de la gauche républicaine, fondateur du Crédit foncier, préfet de police en 1870, puis sénateur. Juliette Adam qui, toute jeune, prend la succession de Marie d'Agoult à la tête du plus célèbre salon républicain, et qui garde jusqu'aux années 1930 une influence prépondérante grâce à son génie d'hôtesse. Elle fit et défit des carrières, promut Gambetta, soigna Guizot, protégea Henri Rochefort. Femme d'influence, Juliette Adam se veut l'incarnation de la Grande Française, déterminée à rendre à la France abaissée son rang en Europe. Amie de George Sand, de Julie-Victoire Daubié et de Marie-Anne de Bovet, elle se détache de Gambetta lorsqu'il accède à la présidence de la Chambre, et elle se tourne vers la littérature. En 1879, elle fonde La Nouvelle Revue, qu'elle anime pendant vingt ans. Elle y publie notamment les premiers romans de Paul Bourget ou Le Calvaire d'Octave Mirbeau. Elle encourage également les débuts littéraires de Pierre Loti, d'Alexandre Dumas fils et de Léon Daudet. Conduite par une santé prétendument chancelante, qui ne l'empêchera pas de vivre presque centenaire, elle découvre Golfe-Juan où elle achète en 1858 un terrain pour y construire une villa lançant la vogue de cette station balnéaire. Le 5 août 1882, elle achète à Gif-sur-Yvette (Essonne) le domaine de l'Abbaye où elle vit de 1904 jusqu'à sa mort en 1936. Elle se convertit au catholicisme en 1905 et est inhumée au cimetière du Père-Lachaise. ‎

‎First, however partial, translation of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations in Swedish rarely seen in this condition, thus making it the very first opportunity for Swedish speakers to study Adam Smith. A more lengthy translation was made in 1909 - 1911 but to this day a full Swedish translation has not been made.""Von Schulzenheim [nobleman, physician, country squire and politician] also published shorter articles in the review 'Läsning I blandade ämnen', an organ of the opposition to the absolutist and obscurantist regime of Gustavus IV Adolphus. The editor of the review was count Georg Adlersparre, an army officer and a political writer who in 1809 was to become one of the prime-movers behind the dethronement of the king. Adlersparre to was an admirer of Adam Smith. In 1799-1800 he published in the 'Läsning' his own Swedish translation of several selections from Wealth of Nations. In some cases Adlersparre added footnotes, making it easier for the readers to apply Smith's ideas to Swedish conditions. Those translations, to the best of my knowledge, were the first ones of Wealth of Nations in Sweden. They were followed by translations of other parts of Wealth of Nations, published in 1800 amd 1808. This time the translator was Erik Erland Bodell, an official of the Swedish Customs and thus, if you like, a colleague of Adam Smith."" ( Cheng-chung, Adam Smith Across Nations). Despite the comparatively late translation into Swedish, it still had a profound influence, not on economists since they were well aware of the original work in English, but upon politics and public opinion in general: ""There are few things more striking to the modem student of the history of ideas in Sweden than the negative phenomenon that Sweden was almost entirely uninfluenced by this fact and thus remained almost unaffected by English economic thought during a period when its superiority was most evident. As far as I am acquainted with the Swedish economic discussion and our popular economic literature of the 1860's and 1870's, there is almost no trace of any influence from English writers. [...]Of Adam Smith we have still only one abbreviated translation of his famous work and that was published as late as during this century"" and, as far as I know, nothing of Ricardo's or Malthus' exists in Swedish, nor do any of the major economic works of J.S. Mill."" (Heckscher, A survey of economic thought in Sweden, 1875-1950).The journal was preceded by Adlersparre's ""Läsning för landtmän"" 1795-96. The content is a mixture of literature, agriculture, law, philosophy and politics. Apart from the many contributions by Swedish authors, ""Läsning i blandade ämnen"" also contains texts by Kant, Gibbon and De Lolme OCLC lists copies at Yale, Minnesota, and Texas. ‎

‎Rare early French translation of Adam Smith's political and economic classic, the ""Wealth of Nations"". Translated by Blavet. The present edition constitutes the third reprint of the second French translation. The second French translation was done by Blavet and is the first translation into French of which the translator and publisher are known. ""The reprint of Blavet's version appeared at Yverdon in 1781 in 6 volumes 12mo, and at Paris in the same year in 3 volumes 12mo, and again at London and Paris in 1788 in 2 volumes 8vo [the present edition], and revised and corrected, with Blavet's name as translator, at Paris An, ix (1800-01) in 4 volumes 8vo.He [Blavet] had no intention of publishing it until his friend M. Ameilhon happened to complain of scarcity of interesting articles for his Journal de l'Agriculture, du Commerce, des Arts et des Finances, which had just come under the control of the Mercantilist. It struck him that he might offer it to him which he did, with the explanation that it was far from perfect. It was accepted, and appeared in the issues of the Journal between January, 1779, and December 1780. He did not anticipate that it would go further. The edition of 1788 likewise appeared without his knowledge or consent, and was still more marred by errors than that of Yverdon"". (Lai, Cheng-chung. Adam Smith Across Nations: Translations and Receptions of The Wealth of Nations, Clarendon Press, UK, 2000). Hailed as the ""first and greatest classic of modern thought"" (PMM 221), Adam Smith's tremendously influential main work has had a profound impact on thought and politics, and is considered the main foundation of the era of liberal free trade that dominated the nineteenth century. Adam Smith (1723-1790) is considered the founder of Political Economy in Britain, mainly due to his groundbreaking work, the ""Wealth of Nations"" from 1776. The work took him 12 years to write and was probably in contemplation 12 years before that. It was originally published in two volumes in 4to, and was published later the same year in Dublin in three volumes in 8vo. The book sold well, and the first edition, the number of which is unknown, sold out within six months, which came as a surprise to the publisher, and probably also to Smith himself, partly because the work ""requires much thought and reflection (qualities that do not abound among modern readers) to peruse to any purpose."" (Letter from David Hume, In: Rae, Life of Adam Smith, 1895, p. 286), partly because it was hardly reviewed or noticed by magazines or annuals. In spite of this, it did evoke immense interest in the learned and the political world, and Buckle's words that the work is ""in its ultimate results probably the most important book that has ever been written"", and that it has ""done more towards the happiness of man than has been effected by the united abilities of all the statesmen and legislators of whom history has preserved an authentic account"" (History of Civilisation, 1869, I:214) well describes the opinion of a great part of important thinkers then as well as now. Considering the groundbreaking views presented in ""Wealth of Nations"", it comes as no surprise that the work was considered part of the revolutionary cultural development in France. As Adam Smith's friend, the Marquis of Lansdowne, said after quoting Smith's work: ""With respect to French principles, as they had been denominated, those principles had been exported from us to France, and could not be said to have originated among the population of the latter country."" (Quoted in: Rae, p. 291). The ideas of Adam Smith were often considered so dangerously closely connected with French ideas at the time that the term ""political economy"" almost became synonymous with questions concerning the constitution of governments. ""The French Revolution seems to have checked for a time the growing vogue of Smith's book and the advance of his principles in this country, just as it checked the progress of parliamentary and social reform, because it filled men's mind with a fear of change, with a suspicion of all novelty, with an unreasoning dislike of anything in the nature of general principle."" (Rae, p. 293). There can be no question that this seminal work greatly influenced French opinion at the time.‎

Cioranescu 12191; Graesse I, 18; Brunet, I, 46 («le portrait de Me Adam manque souvent»); De Backer, 755; Lachèvre, pp. 119 et 153. C'est le premier recueil donné par Billaut, qui jusqu'alors n'avait laissé imprimer que des plaquettes de circonstance. Les 28 premières pages sont une longue épitre en vers adressée au vicomte d'Arpajon. Les 100 pages qui suivent la préface de l'abbé de Marolles renferment 62 poésies françaises par 53 auteurs et 7 pièces grecques, latines, italiennes et espagnoles à la louange de l’auteur. Sous le titre Approbation du Parnasse, Saint-Amant, Scudéry, Scarron, Corneille, Colletet, Benserade, Boisrobert, Beys, Ragueneau, Desfontaines, Tristan l'Hermitte, Melle de Gournay témoignent du succès considérable des Chevilles. La seconde partie contient les épîtres, stances, rondeaux, sonnets, épigrammes, chansons et élégies de maître Adam. L'ouvrage constitue, avec Le Vilebrequin (1663, imprimé à titre posthume), et Le Rabot (jamais publié) l'un des trois titres composés par le simple menuisier de Nevers que demeura toute sa vie Adam Billaut (1602-1662), en dépit de ses attaches parisiennes et des protections qu'il trouva dans la capitale, auprès des milieux littéraires et les grands (Marie-Louise de Gonzague, Condé, Richelieu). Il est considéré aujourd’hui comme le premier poète prolétaire français. Adam Billaut voit le jour à Nevers en 1602. Sa jeunesse est mal connue. Il est menuisier et poète. Il est même le premier d’une grande tradition de poètes ouvriers qui se développera surtout au XIXe siècle. Il commence par des vers "d’atelier", une Muse des copeaux qui séduisit princesses et académiciens et deviendra la coqueluche des salons parisiens. Introduit par l’abbé Marolles dans la Bohème des Lettres ce "Virgile au rabot" fut surtout un poète courtisan. Il résista aux instances de ses amis qui voulaient l’attirer à Paris avec une pièce fameuse : Au loin l’ambition et ses folles chimères ! / Qu’un autre aille, orgueilleux, dans le palais des rois / Avec pompe étaler ses hautaines misères / Moi, j’aime mieux Nevers et l’ombre de ses bois ! Billaut meurt en 1662. Les chevilles de Maître Adam parurent en 1644 et eurent un grand succès critique. Si sa poésie brille peu par l'élégance, dans un siècle qui en fut plein, sa langue est pleine de verve et d'originalité et ses recueils font de lui un des tous premiers poètes du XVIIe, l'un de ceux dont la langue est toujours appréciée, dénuée d'afféteries et d'ornements inutiles.Celui qu'on surnomma "le Virgile du rabot" et que Voltaire tint pour l'un des grands écrivains du XVIIe, fut un poète et un chansonnier. Cette édition contient la préfacepar Michel de Marolles, qui l'avait rencontré par hasard dans les rues de Nevers, qui avait lu ses vers et considérait ce menuisier «comme une des plus rares choses du siècle». Dès lors, il fut introduit auprès des grands et, objet de curiosité, fut recherché de toute la bonne société.Billaut devint le protégé du prince de Condé, fut pensionné par Richelieu et admiré par ses pairs ; les 96 premières pages correspondent à des éloges en vers de poètes contemporains de celui qui fut un événement littéraire. Corneille le met dans un sonnet, Rotrou lui consacre une épigramme, Scarron et Scudéry lui dédient des odes. Le recueil contient une ode au cardinal de Richelieu qui l'avait pris sous sa protection. Impression en caractères italiques et romains, parfois grecs, avec ornements typographiques. Exemplaire bien complet du beau portrait de l'auteur dans son atelier de menuiserie en frontispice. Il manque à beaucoup d'exemplaires. Précieux exemplaire conservé dans son authentique reliure en vélin souple de l’époque. ‎
