Bianchini Lodovico. Della scienza del ben vivere sociale e della economia degli stati parte storica e di preliminari dottrine. Palermo: Dalla stamperia di Francesco Lao, 1845.Two works in one volume. 4° (260x160 mm). XVI, 508; XII, 404 pages. Light foxing, stains and soiled on the title page of the first work. Contemporary half morocco, blue percaline on the covers, gilt title on lettering piece on the spine, edges speckled blue. Covers abrased. Gilt monogram on the spine 'L.T.' I works: First and rare edition of this historical part of the great work of the economist Lodovico bianchini, which will be completed, indipendently, by the homonym edition of the 1855, bound togheter in this copy. The writing lists and examines the authors of Political Economy from ancient times to his days and the author proposes the 'genovesiano' approach to the political theory, aims to combine the happy life and public happiness; as Genovesi like Serra, Galiani and Verri, is praised in a controversy optic with English and French liberalism schools. Unfortunately for the author the economy had grown, but not in the direction desired by him: the political economy of those who made profession of liberalism and praised the market automatism - as the criticated Smith, Ricardo and Say - little or nothing had in common with the civil economy of those who had cultivated - as Genovesi - a normative science in the name of an enlightened dirigisme. Einaudi, 482; Kress Italian, 1129. II works: Second edition.LEGATO CON: Id. Principî della scienza del ben vivere sociale e della economia pubblica e degli stati...Seconda edizione. Napoli: dalla Stamperia reale, 1855. Due opere in un volume in-4° (mm 260x160). Pagine XVI, 508; XII, 404. Lievi arrossature, aloni e tracce di polvere all'occhietto e al frontespizio della prima opera. Legatura coeva in mezzo marocchino, percallina blu ai piatti, titoli in oro su tassello al dorso, tagli spruzzati in azzurro. Abrasioni agli angoli e ai bordi dei piatti. Al dorso monogramma in oro 'L.T.'. I opera: Prima e rara edizione della parte storica della grande opera dell'economista Lodovico Bianchini, che verrà completata, in maniera autonoma, dall'omonima edizione del 1855, legata di seguito in questo esemplare. Il trattato elenca ed esamina gli autori di economia politica dall'antichità ai suoi giorni e in esso l'Autore ripropone l'approccio genovesiano alla teorizzazione politica, volta a coniugare la vita felice e la felicità pubblica; proprio Genovesi con Serra, Galiani e Verri, viene lodato in ottica polemica con le scuole liberiste inglesi e francesi. Purtroppo per l'Autore però l'economia era sì cresciuta, ma non nella direzione da lui auspicata: l'economia politica di chi faceva professione di liberismo ed esaltava gli automatismi di mercato - propria dei criticati Smith, Ricardo e Say - poco o niente aveva infatti in comune con l'economia civile di coloro che avevano coltivato - era segnatamente il caso di Genovesi - una scienza normativa all'insegna di un dirigismo illuminato. Einaudi, 482; Kress Italian, 1129. II opera: Seconda edizione dello stesso testo.

Capece Minutolo Antonio. I piffari di montagna ossia Cenno estemporaneo di un cittadino imparziale sulla congiura del principe di Canosa e sopra i carbonari epistola critica diretta all'estensore del foglio letterario di Londra. Corretta ed accresciuta. In questa nuova edizione si aggiungono due altri opuscoli d'argomento analogo. Dublino [i. e. Lucca]: nel mese d'Ottobre del 1821. 8° (205x128 mm). [4], 216 pages. Leaves slightly browned; a few foxing and spots; sporadic small ink stains. Contemporary half-calf moucheté, marbled covers. smooth spine, comtartments undelined by gilt friezes, and decorated with floral tools; title on green leather lettering piece. Multicoloured edges. Covers abraded in places. Lower joint a bit cracked, minor loss to the extremities.  Second and enlarged edition of the most famous work by the Neapolitan Antonio Capece Prince of Canosa (1768-1838). I Piffari di montagna first apperead in May 1820 in the Tuscan city, likewise with the indication of 'Dublin' as fictional place of printing, while the author's identity is masked under the name of 'Giuseppe Torelli'. The content is strongly reactionary: the monarchy is presented here as the perfect form of governement, and the author attributes to the Church an essential role in mantaining the social order. This second edition is supplemented, as an appendix, with two other writings by Capece, the Analisi sopra un articolo della Minerva Napoletana, and the Risposta al n.° CXLIV. del Giornale Napoletano intitolato l'Amico della Costituzione de 2. gennajo del corrente anno.In-8° (mm 205x128). Pagine [4], 216. Carte leggermente brunite; qualche fioritura, e aloni; sporadiche e minime macchie di inchiostro. Legatura coeva in mezzo vitello moucheté, piatti ricoperti in carta marmorizzata. Dorso liscio, scomparti sottolineati da ghirlande in oro, e decorati ferro floreale; titolo su tassello in pelle verde Tagli policromi. Qualche abrasione ai piatti; al piatto posteriore usura della cerniera, con leggero distacco in corrispondenza delle cuffie. Seconda e ampliata edizione della più nota opera del politico napoletano Antonio Capece principe di Canosa (1768-1838). I Piffari di montagna avevano visto la luce per la prima volta la luce nel maggio del 1820 nella città toscana, sempre con l'indicazione 'Dublino' quale fittizio luogo di stampa, mentre l'identità dell'autore era celata sotto il nome di 'Giuseppe Torelli'. Il contenuto è fortemente reazionario, indicando nella monarchia la forma perfetta di governo e attribuendo alla Chiesa un ruolo essenziale nel mantenimento dell'obbedienza del popolo. Celebre l'invito ad atei o eterodossi: "Se pure nè al Papa volete credere, come anche a Gesù Cristo per la salute eterna, credetegli, e crediamogli per quella di questo mondo" (p. 172). Rispetto alla precedente impressione del 1820, il volume comprende in appendice due opuscoli dello stesso autore, l'Analisi sopra un articolo della Minerva Napoletana, e la Risposta al n.° CXLIV. del Giornale Napoletano intitolato l'Amico della Costituzione de 2. gennajo del corrente anno.
