On sait que l'édition originale, publiée sans nom d'auteur, fut saisie et détruite par Louis XIV. L'audacieux projet de dîme royale présenté par Vauban consistait à remplacer tous les impôts existant par une contribution unique payée par tous, y compris la noblesse et le clergé, à hauteur des ressources de chacun. Reliure un peu frottée aux mors, coiffe inférieure arrachée, déchirures sans manque aux tableaux dépliants. Sinon exemplaire plaisant en reliure d'époque.

Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban, Chevalier des Ordres du Roy, Commissaire General des Fortifications, & Gouverneur de la Citadelle de Lille. Bon exemplaire ( Photographies sur demande / We can send pictures of this book on simple request ) Size: in 12 (17x10,5).

Sans lieu ni date, 1708, in-12 de XVI-272 pp., 3 tableaux dont 2 sur une même page dépl., rel. d'ép. de plein veau brun foncé, dos à nerfs orné de fers dorés, la coiffe sup. manque, 1 tableau manque entre les page 220 et 221, sinon bon ex. Contrefaçon vraisemblablement imprimée aux Pays-Bas, de cet ouvrage paru un an auparavant dans le format in-4, qui valut à Vauban sa disgrâce. L'ouvrage fut censuré par les deux arrêts du Conseil privé (14 février et 14 mars 1707) qui ordonnèrent la saisie et la destruction des 276 exemplaires de l'originale. Louis XIV estima qu'un tel projet pouvait provoquer la chute de la monarchie.

(No place, nor printer), 1707. 8vo. In contemporary full calf with five raised bands and richly gilt spine. Edges of boards gilt. Title-label is either missing or have never been added. Small paper-label pasted on to top of spine. Stains and scratches to boards. Corners bumped. Internally nice and clean. VIII, 268 pp. + 3 folded tables. One of the at least seven different issues of the 12mo edition, published same year as the first edition (in 4to), in which Vauban proposed a comprehensive tax reform plan for France. The central idea was to replace the existing tax system, which heavily burdened the lower classes while exempting the nobility and clergy, with a single tax on income and property that would be fairly distributed among all citizens, regardless of social status. Schumpeter called the work 'unsurpassed, before or after, in the neatness and cogency of the argument. Purposeful marshalling of all the available data was the essence of his analysis. Nobody ever understood better the true relation between facts and argument. It is this that makes him an economic classic in the eulogistic sense of the work, and a forerunner of modern tendencies' (Schumpeter, History of Economic analysis, p. 204). 'an erudite economic work much in advance of its time, and distinguished both by accuracy of method and breadth of view' (Palgrave), 'creditable alike to the heart and the head of its illustrious author' (McCulloch). 'Though the book was published anonymously, and only a few copies issued (for circulation among friends), Vauban had to submit to the mortification of seeing it 'pilloried' by the parliament, while he himself incurred the displeasure of the king (Louis XIV).' (Palgrave).

Very rare first edition, first issue (with B4 in uncancelled state: on p. 16, a setier is given as weighing 170, rather than 240 pounds), of "an erudite economic work much in advance of its time, and distinguished both by accuracy of method and breadth of view" (Palgrave), "creditable alike to the heart and the head of its illustrious author" (McCulloch). Carpenter lists six other printings dated 1707, all in smaller format, and eight subsequent editions before 1710, including the English translation A Project for a Royal Tythe (1708; reissued in 1710 as An Essay for a General Tax). "Though the book was published anonymously, and only a few copies issued [for circulation among friends], Vauban had to submit to the mortification of seeing it 'pilloried' by the parliament, while he himself incurred the displeasure of the king [Louis XIV]. A few weeks later he died" (Palgrave). Although the renowned soldier-engineer Vauban (1633-1707) wrote on a very wide variety of subjects apart from economics - fortifications, war, naval matters, religion, agriculture, population, and colonization - the Projet d'une Dixme royale is an outstanding work in the field of public finance. Its two most notable features are its understanding of the central role of fiscal policy in economic reform - the result of an exceptionally comprehensive grasp of the economic process - and its use of detailed numerical data to substantiate conclusions. Schumpeter pronounced the work "unsurpassed, before or after, in the neatness and cogency of the argument. Purposeful marshalling of all the available data was the essence of his analysis. Nobody ever understood better the true relation between facts and argument. It is this that makes him an economic classic in the eulogistic sense of the word, and a forerunner of modern tendencies" (Schumpeter, History of Economic Analysis, p. 204). According to Boislisle, the first edition was printed in Rouen in 1706 at the initiative of the Abbé de Beaumont (who is credited with the authorship of the work by Boisguilbert). Vauban had the sheets bound by the widow of a certain Fétil and took great pains that the book had no public circulation. It was prohibited on 14 February 1707, but apparently the police could only seize two copies. To the police, the binder declared she had had 264 copies in total, 12 bound in morocco, the rest in calf. The two copies seized at the Abbé de Beaumont's were described as in "veau fauve" and marbled parchment. See Arthur Michel de Boislisle, "La Proscription du projet de Dime Royale et la mort de Vauban" (Mémoire lu à l'Académie des sciences morales et politiques), Paris, 1875. In the Society of Jesus, a professed house was a residence where - in a spirit of radical poverty - no member had a stable income. The Jesuit priests who lived there, all of whom have made the profession of the four vows, undertake their spiritual and pastoral ministry completely for free. With no revenues, these houses were dependent on the generosity of benefactors, even for their daily needs.
