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.

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.

De Samuele Cagnazzi Luca. Elementi dell'arte statistica... Parte prima [-seconda]. Napoli: nella Stamperia Flautina, 1808-1809. Two parts in one volume. 8° (184x113 mm). xxiv, 224 pages, with a table and a copper engraved folding plate; viii, 336. Rare first edition of the first italian work about statistic, science defined by the author as "perfetta conoscenza dello stato attuale delle cose che il benessere della società e loro componenti riguardano". Einaudi, 775; not in Kress, Goldsmiths', Mattioli. See Patriarca Silvana. Numbers and Nationhood, writing Statistics in Nineteenth Century Italy. Cambridge, 1996.Due parti in un volume in-8° (mm 184x113). Pagine xxiv, 224, con una tabella e una tavola più volte ripiegata incisa su rame; viii, 336. Arrossature diffuse, ossidato lo specchio di stampa in alcuni fascicoli. Legatura coeva in mezza pergamena, carta decorata ai piatti, titoli in oro su tassello al dorso. Abrasioni ai bordi dei piatti e agli angoli. Rara prima edizione del primo trattato italiano di statistica, scienza definita dall'Autore "perfetta conoscenza dello stato attuale delle cose che il benessere della società e loro componenti riguardano". Questa dottrina viene qui per la prima volta esposta con un taglio tanto moderno e scrupoloso, tanto da segnare il definitivo distacco scientifico e metodologico dalla generazione precedente. L'opera venne redatta dal matematico Cagnazzi, professore di statistica e poi di economia politica all'Università di Napoli, alla vigilia dell'occupazione francese, quando fu "incaricato di redigere un censimento degli uomini atti alle armi e, a tale scopo, compilò una Tavola Statistica [...] Il nucleo del trattato, che non contiene dati statistici ma principi generali sul fine da conseguire e sulle questioni di metodo, è costituito da ampie considerazioni sullo 'stato delle scienze economiche', che Cagnazzi esorta ad abbracciare nella totalità. Dal quadro che ne risulta, emergono gli scopi pratici dell'economia che, nel pensiero del Cagnazzi, riguardano tutti i fattori utili al progresso dell'umanità, fondati su un'adeguata preparazione morale e politica". (DBI, s.v.). Le dottrine economiche di Cagnazzi si ispirarono al laissez-faire di Smith e di Say, che egli cercò di divulgare nel Sud Italia. Einaudi, 775; Manca a Kress, Goldsmiths', Mattioli. Cfr.

All'ultima carta la consultatio comprende, quindi, pareri di teologi attivi presso tribunali inquisitoriali.

First and rare edition - in a precious presentation copy - of this popular and highly interesting novel by the physician and writer Francesco Pona (1595-1655), which narrates the adventures of the 'condottiero' Ormondo and his beloved Rosidora, on the background of the wars between England and Scotland.
