A propos de cet article

First edition of Condorcet's critique of the assignats. Condorcet was Inspector of the Coins from 1775 to 1790, and had consequently participated in the great monetary debates of the reign of Louis XVI. Partly invigorated by these debates, he was a fierce opponents of the assignats, an opposition which would be vindicated as their value plummeted. Octavo (189 x 121 mm). Recent marbled boards, red morocco label to spine. A few foxing marks, but generally clean. A very nice copy.
