‎Second edition, the first being published in 1760, of Bielfeld’s highly popular work political institutions and themes such as law making, police, finances, commerce and the general constitution a states. Bielfeld’s work made it into 12 editions, including translations into German (1761), Italian (1764), Spanish (1767), and Russian (1768/75). Even an abbreviated version was published in Portuguese in Brazil in 1823. “Bielfeld’s volumes of Institutions Politiques are written in the venerable Fürstenspiegel – or ‘Kings’ Mirror’ – tradition. Going back to Greek (Aristotle) and Roman (Pliny the Younger) this type of work lists the virtues and duties of ruler and princes, establishing the necessary wisdom and principles for good governance.36 An important German predecessor was Veit Ludwig von Seckendorff’s Teutsche Fürstenstaat (IX) published in 1656 which was continuously in print for 100 years, the last edition being printed in 1754. Seckendorff and Bielfeld were both employed by men who represented the best intellectualism of Enlightened Despotism: Ernest the Pious of Gotha and Frederick the Great of Prussia respectively.” (Reinert, 80 Economic Bestsellers before 1850: A Fresh Look at the History of Economic Thought)‎

Reference : 18255

(1752)

‎Progrès des Allemands dans les sciences, les belles-lettres et les arts particulierement dans la poesie et l'eloquence ‎

‎S.l. (Breslau) S.n. 1752 pet. in-8 de 1 f.n.ch. et 278 pp. maroquin rouge à décor doré, triple filet d'encadrement sur les plats, dos lisse orné à la grotesque, filet sur les coupes, dentelle intérieure, gardes et contre-gardes de papier étoilé, tranches dorées [Rel. de l'époque] ‎


‎GV 1700-1910, t. 111, p. 374. Pas dans Conlon (qui ne cite que l'éd. d'Amsterdam de la même année). Aucun exemplaire aux U.S.A. Rarissime édition originale, imprimée vraisemblablement en Prusse, de cet essai rédigé directement en français par le baron de Bielfeld (1716-1770), inspecteur des universités prussiennes et ami de Frédéric le Grand dès le temps où celui-ci n'était que prince héritier de Prusse. L'auteur a certainement eu l'intention dans cet ouvrage de complaire à son souverain en montrant combien les princes de la maison de Brandebourg, et tout particulièrement « le monarque qui occupe aujourd'hui le trône », avaient eu « la glorieuse maxime d'accorder à leurs sujets une entière liberté de penser & une protection généreuse à tous les talents ».Exemplaire de grande qualité, dans une reliure parisienne sortie d'un des meilleurs ateliers de la capitale et conservée quasiment sans défaut ‎
