Bemerkung:

Early edition of Victor de Requeti's famous "The Friend of Man, or Treatise on Population". Victor de Requeti, Comte de Mirabeau (1715 - 1789) was a French economist of the Physiocratic school. He was the father of great Honoré, Comte de Mirabeau and is, in distinction, often referred to as the elder Mirabeau. In 1756 Mirabeau made his first appearance as a political economist by the publication of his Ami des hommes ou Traité de la population. This work has been often attributed to the influence, and in part even to the pen, of Quesnay, the founder of the economical school of the physiocrats. In 1760 he published his Théorie de l'impot, in which he attacked with all the vehemence of his son the farmers-general of the taxes, who got him imprisoned for eight days at Vincennes, and then exiled to his country estate at Bignon near Nemours. At Bignon the school of the physiocrats was really established, and the marquis in 1765 bought the Journal de l'agriculture, du commerce, et des finances, which became the organ of the school. - Uncut. The 6 plates "Tableau économique" erroneously bound in volume 4 instead of volume 6. - Cf. Kress library no. 5738.
