A utopian novel of socialist tendency. It relates the travels of a prisoner of the inquisition named Gaudence de Lucques to the country of Mezzorania, a patriarchal society where competition and egoism are banned and equal property and a spirit of community have been realized. It originally appeared in English in 1737 and was then attributed to George Berkeley, but in fact written by the catholic priest Simon Berington. It underwent a French metamorphosis in 1746 by the chevalier de Saint-Germain, completed in 1753 by J.B.Dupuy-Demportes who added much of his own taste. *Higgs 3046. Lichtenberger p.45-47.

First edition. A philosophical-political treatise aiming at a universal brotherhood of man. Bonneville was together with Claude Fauchet a central figure within the Cercle social, from its founding in October 1790 until its suppression in June 1793 a centre for enlightened philosophy and democratic agitation, which counted among its members Condorcet, Cloots, Sieyès, Brissot, and Thomas Paine.
The present book is Bonneville's chief work, particularly noticed for its social if not socialist criticism. It argues against the unjust division of property by stating that 'the only possible means to achieve the great social communion is to divide the estates in equal and limited parts for the children of the deceased, and leave the rest to divide among the other heirs' (p.59).

The first book of the author, philosopher, historian and social reformer.

First edition. A history of the Babeuf's Conspiracy of the Equals of 1796, the first attempt to establish a communist society by means of violence. Buonarroti was born in Italy from a noble family and under the influence of Rousseau in 1789 went to France to support the Revolution. He became involved in the Babouvian plot against the government and got imprisoned, but immediately after his release resumed his activities in secret societies in Italy and France. The present book was written in Brussels exile, and translated into English (by the Chartist leader Bronterre O'Brien), and into other languages. It became a handbook for many of the nineteenth century socialist and communist revolutionaries. *Goldsmiths' 25714. Not in Kress or Einaudi.

Paris, A.Mie 1831. 64p. Recent half calf, marbled sides, gilt back (Laurenchet). A very nice copy indeed. (#16186)

eur  450
First edition. The first publication of Etienne Cabet, the future author of the famous utopian novel Voyage en Icarie. Cabet was the son of a cooper and a lawyer by profession, had for a time joined the sect of the French carbonari, but soon started to dislike its secret character. He took part in the revolution of July 1830 and was sent to Corsica as an attorney general, but dismissed because of his republican sympathy showed for the Polish insurgents. He was elected deputy for the Côte-d'Or in July 1831.
In this pamphlet Cabet deplores the republican failure and severely attacks the Camarilla ('court- clique') of Louis-Philippe. He also discusses the revolutionary events of 1830/31 in Belgium, Italy and Poland, 'emanated from the French revolution'. He arrives at the conclusion that it is 'a true declaration of war on the despotic governments'. *Prudhommeaux A2.

Second edition. The chief work of Etienne Cabet, an utopian novel that contains the full development of his system of Christian communism. It was the source of inspiration for numerous followers in their attempts to establish Icarian colonies in the United States. The first edition was published anonymously in a very small number of copies in 1839 (though dated 1840) under the title Voyage et aventures de Lord Villiam Carisdall en Icarie and is notoriously rare.

First edition. The second major book of Etienne Cabet, the author of the famous utopian novel Voyage en Icarie of 1839. In the 1840's Cabet tried to convert his fellow communists, those who favoured revolutionary violence to gain political power and those who based themselves on purely materialistic principles like his former secretary Dézamy, to his peaceful Icarian communism. In the present volume, reprinted twice before 1850, Cabet explains that his communist society is based upon Christian principles. His 'true Christianism' is deistic and rational, and his God is the god of equality and justice to the poor and oppressed. It yielded him considerable support among the workers and in January 1848 a first group of 69 colonists left France to establish an Icarian settlement in America. *Prudhommeaux A86 (dated August 1846!).

First edition. This pamphlet concerns the case against Frédéric Degeorge (1797-1854), editor of a democratic journal in the department Pas-de-Calais and known as a violent opponent of Louis-Philippe. He is accused of 'crimes against the person of the King, inciting to hatred and insult of his government' etc. in an article written on the occasion of Cabet's acquittal earlier the year. This is the first in a series of propagandistic pamphlets issued by Cabet as Publications du Populaire, though this series title does not appear here. *Maitron II,p.36. Prudhommeaux A8.

First edition. A pamphlet concerning the case against a Dijon republican journal that had published the 'act of association' of the revolutionary 'Association against the anti-popular taxes on beverages and salt'. Etienne Cabet (1788-1856), the future author of the seminal utopian novel Voyage en Icarie, was a deputy for the Côte-d'Or since 1831 and a lawyer by profession. He here acts as counsel for the defence. A (printed) note at the end warns, that though this case has resulted in the suppression of similar associations in other departments, new associations will be established 'everywhere', very soon in Nancy, Strassburg, Paris, and a number of other cities! *Prudhommeaux A21.

First (only) edition. A work in which a theory of social forms is developed with an eccentric mystic logic. Coëssin was since his youth 'a head full of mysticism with inordinate political opinions'. An attempt to establish a newly moulded republic in Cayenne failed when he became at odds with his friend Clouet. He returned to France and in 1810 founded an institution for 'christian perfectibility', known as Grey House, a centre of mystical catholic philosophy and obscure living rules, with initiation rules not surprisingly including a donation to the communal purse, governed by the indubitable prophet Coëssin.

First edition. A clear testimony of Comte's positivist philosophy having turned into a religion of humanity. This 'positivist catechism' presents his project for a universal religion in the form of dialogues between a woman and a 'priest of humanity'. In his preface he declares that 'in the name of the past and the future the theoretical and practical servants of Humanity will take the general direction of worldly matters with dignity, to construct finally the true providence, moral, intellectual, and material, irrevocable excluding from political supremacy all kinds of slaves of God, catholics, protestants, or deists, as being both stragglers and disurbers'. Included are a five-page Bibliothèque du prolétaire au dix- neuvième siècle and a folding calendrier positiviste. Einaudi has a much later edition only.

Late 19th or early 20th century green cloth, backs richly gilt, original printed wrappers (with the exception of the upper wrapper of volume 2) preserved. Mild paperspotting throughout. A nice set.
First edition. The major book of Auguste Comte since the positivist philosophy exposed earlier in his Cours had developed into a 'religion of humanity'. In 1848 Comte had founded the Positivist Society with the aim to act upon the revolutionary events. Though disappointed about that he had by his death in 1857 left a school of followers of a universal system of knowledge and a complete philosophy of human organisation.
Apparently the publication of the volumes did not proceed smoothly. The first volume was published by the Librairie scientifique-industrielle de L.Mathias in cooperation with Carilian-Goeury et V.or Dalmont. The impressum of the second volume mentions the same publishers, but also (and firstly) l'auteur, and additionally the Librairie philosophique de Ladrange. The third and fourth volumes were published by the author and Carilian-Goeury only.
At end of the first volume a 4-page Catalogue des publications de l'Ecole positiviste, and an extra leaf of blue paper with a long ms. quotation from Bastiat's Harmonies économiques (published the previous year). At end of the fourth volume a 7-page announcement (in Dutch) of Comte's journal La revue occidentale dated 1848.

First (only) edition. An eye-witness account of the educational and agricultural community established at Hofwyl (near Berne) by the Swiss philanthropist Emanuel von Fellenberg. The aim of the colony was to present a complete education for both poor children and for children of the upper classes, combined with agricultural instruction. The educational system at Hofwyl was strongly influenced by Pestalozzi, and the school counted among its pupils the sons of Robert Owen, who had visited the colony in 1818.
In the preface to the present book the author writes that he had visited the colony twice, his first stay had given him ample faith in the views of its founder and he conceived great expectations, but 'what I found after revisiting Hofwyl six years later has surpassed all my expectations'.

First edition. The first exposition of a socialist nation in Germany. In The closed commercial state Fichte outlines a national economy in which production, labour and distribution are centrally organized, 'protected' against foreign competition. This will guarantee the right of labour for all people, according to Fichte the chief right of man, and prevent both indigence and excessive wealth. Fichte's social ideas, directly connected with the ethical outlook of his philosophy, have been of enormous influence on later German and foreign ethical socialism. *Baumgartner & Jacobs 51.

First edition. Guépin studied medecine in Paris and there became acquainted with Saint-Simonism and an ardent republican and propagandist of cooperation. He established in Nantes and acquired great popularity as an oculist and doctor for the poor, of whom was said that he 'could return the sight to the blind'. Apart from a small pamphlet relating to the revolutionary events of 1830 in Nantes the present work is his first publication. It contains the essence of his ideas, exposed only more fully in his better known Philosophie du socialisme of 1850. Guépin deserves an own place in the history of socialism for his practical sense and his long-life experiments with cooperative associations. *Kress C.3504. Not in Einaudi. Maitron II,p.309-311.

First editions of all three works. A proposal to make an end of begging and mendicancy by means of the establishment of public charitable institutions, by the Turin Jesuit Andrea Guevarre. The main work is divided into two parts. The first part treats the necessity of an institution for the prevention of destitution administered by public authorities and the secular principles on which it should be based. The second part treats in the form of questions and answers the objections that can be made against the public management of such an institution. The second and third work, usually found together with the main work, contain the regulations for charitable institutions to be established within the duchy of Savoy. There are chapters on the places where such institutions should be established, their internal administration, the policy regarding the admission of the poor and disabled, the conduct of labour, the provision of dietary and clothing, etc.

Second edition, augmented with an essay of 110 pages and preferred to the first edition of the previous year. This essay treats the miserable condition of the labouring classes in towns, with a chapter 'by what means the remedies may be effected'. Whereas the author in his first essay 'was anxious ... to avoid even the least exaggeration in describing the distressed state of the labouring people', the since then published report of the Health of Towns Commission has fortified him in his opinion 'that the condition of a large part of the labouring classes indeed is evidently one which endangers the existence amongst them of economy, decency, or morality'. *Kress C.6620.

The first work on capital and labour is Lassalle's major work in which he sets out his economic principles. In its form it is a sharp and sometimes coarse polemic with the leader of the German co-operative movement Schulze-Delitzsch, but its substance is one of the most vehement attacks on classical liberal theories, here represented by Frédéric Bastiat.
The second, third, fourth and fifth piece deal with the proceedings before the Berlin Criminal Court where Lassalle was accused of having incited to hatred. Lassalle argued that he had only brought science to the workers: 'Socialism as a principle is the result of scientific thought. It are the working classes that represent this scientific principle, while the idle classes resist it'.

Pierre Leroux was a printer and journalist and for a time follower of Saint-Simonism, founder of the official Saint-Simonian journal Le Globe. He and several others broke with the Saint-Simonians out of repugnance against Enfantin's scabrous mysticism.

First edition. Probably the best history of the Paris Commune, praised not only for its wealth of information but also for its literary merits. Lissagaray had been a radical journalist during the Second Empire and became involved in the Commune as an editor of various journals, though he himself contended that 'he had never been a member, nor an officer, functionary or clerk of the Commune'. After the fall of the Commune he escaped to Brussels and then moved to London, where he frequented the home of Karl Marx, and it has even been said that there were plans for a marriage between him and Marx's third daughter Eleanor.
This was published for the first time in France not before 1896 in a revised edition. There were various new editions and translations into English (1886, by Eleanor Marx Aveling), German (1877), Dutch, and other languages. *Del Bo p.69. Dolléans & Crozier p.93. Not in Einaudi. Noël p.237.

First edition. A treatise on the principles of politics in the form of lectures deceptively translated from a Greek manuscript. The author argues that rational government should be based on natural law and the regulation of passions. He thinks that the advancement of public virtues is the best way to contribute to the felicity of the nation. This book has been described as probably the best work of the author and was reprinted several times and translated into several languages. It has also much contributed to the recognition of Mably as a forerunner of socialism. *Not in Kress. Einaudi and INED list a later edition only. Lichtenberger p.221-246.

Second revised and enlarged edition. Winkelblech studied natural sciences and became professor of chemistry in Cassel and became a socialist after he had met a German worker in Sweden by whom he was amply informed about the miserable fate of the working class. Since then he spent all his time and all his (considerable) talents to write a comprehensive book about social reform.
A first part of that book appeared in 1849 and succeeding parts followed the next 10 years. Both its way of publication, the framework of the book derived from the natural sciences, and the absence of the author in German socialist agitation have made the book almost entirely overlooked by contemporaries, including Marx and Lassalle. It was not before 1870 that Schäffle praised Marlo in his Kapitalismus und Socialismus, and since then he was treated by a.o. John Rae, H.P.G.Quack, and by Wilhelm Roscher, who wrote about him as 'one of the most solid, moderate and conscientious of the socialists'.
In his criticism of existing industrial capitalism Marlo did not differ much from other socialists, but he rejected not only liberalism, responsible for what he called plutocracy, but also communism, because he thought it would fail to motivate the individual worker. Marlo sought to reconcile both systems in what he called panpolism. He argues for common property of the means of production, but also for the private property for each individual worker of the full produce of his labour. The management will not be in the hands of individual speculators, but will be organized by the state in industrial societies (Zünfte).

Second edition of the founding document of the First International. The decision to found an international association of working men was taken at a meeting in St. Martins Hall on 28 September 1864. An international committee was entrusted with the draft of the programme. Marx, a member of the commiytee, wrote the inaugural address and the provisional rules in the last week of October. On November 1 he read his draft in the Committee, it was approved unanimously and shortly after printed 'at the Beehive', in a very limited number of copies.
The present edition, not listed by Rubel but well recorded by the Première Internationale, was decided by the Committee on 9 May 1866, and it appeared in August that year, no doubt in view of the international congress that would meet in Geneva in September and indeed would adopt Marx's programme.
In the programme Marx describes the miserable fate of the workers in the mid of the 19th century. Het welcomes the Ten Hours Bill as a practical success and the victory of a principle: 'it was the first time that in broad daylight the political economy of the middle class succumbed to the political economy of the working class'. He also embraces the co-operative movement of which 'the value cannot be over-rated' because it has shown that large-scale production 'may be carried on without the existence of a class of masters employing a class of hands'. Yet Marx states that this will not be enough to free the masses and that only the conquest of political power by the workers of all countries can make an end to capitalist production and lighten the burden of their miseries.
The present edition includes, besides the Address (p.3-12) and the Provisional rules (p.12-15), a note on the conditions on which societies and individuals can join the association (p.15), and a list of names of the Central Provisional Council (p.16) including that of 'K.Marx - Corresponding Secretary for Germany'.

First German edition of the final version of the rules of the International Working Men's Association. They were written by Karl Marx in October 1864, shortly after the meeting at St. Martins Hall where the International was established. They were approved by the Provisional Council in November, and then printed in English in a journal called Beehive. The London Conference in September 1871 revised the text of the rules because errors had occurred in certain translations of the original text. This German translation was revised by Friedrich Engels. *Première Internationale II,38 & III,33.

This originally appeared in parts with imprint Librairie du Progrès, directeur Maurice La Châtre between August 1872 and May 1875. The present volume apparently was a new issue, with at least the preliminary leaves newly printed.

First (only) edition, very rare. Carl (or Karl) Vogt was a respected German natural scientist and political publicist, a radical democrat member of the Frankfurt Parliament in 1848-49, since 1852 until his death professor of geology and zoology in Geneva. He was a warm advocate of a materialistic philosophy, opposed against dualism of mind and brain, quoted by Charles Darwin in the introduction to his Descent of man as a supporter of his evolution theory.
In 1859 Vogt published a book Studien zur gegenwärtigen Lage Europas in which he defended the policy of Napoleon III. This procured him the animosity of democrats exiled in London and the German refugee paper Das Volk published an article K.Vogt und die deutsche Emigration in London accusing him of being paid by Napoleon III. This accusation was passed on to the Augsburger Allgemeine Zeitung, one of the major journals in Germany in the nineteenth century, by its London correspondent Wilhelm Liebknecht. Vogt took action against the journal and, suspecting Karl Marx being the bad genius behind the affair, published the present volume to defend himself and to assail the German socialists as secret and violent conspirators with Marx as their dictator. Marx was outraged and the next year published his defence Herr Vogt. *Stammhammer I,p.255.

This is one of Mercier's works clearly showing his egalitarian if not communist preoccupations, pleading for among other things state interference in order to diminish the inequality of fortunes and the establishing of a tax on luxury instead of on livelihood. *INED 3137 (volumes 1-2 only).

Second, counterfeit (?) edition. An unprecedented and very seminal exposition of a dogmatic and genuinely rationalist communism, advocating complete abolishment of private property and complete state control of production and consumption. It was if not completely ignored strongly rejected by Morelly's contemporaries, but at the end of the eighteenth century Babeuf referred to it with great respect, and in the nineteenth century many socialist and communist writers have acknowledged their indebtness to Morelly, including among others Fourier, Cabet, Proudhon, Louis Blanc and Fredrick Engels.
Morelly was born about 1715 and at least for a time has lived in Vitry-le-François, and he probably spent the greater part of his life as a tutor, but that is about all that is known about him, and this may have contributed to the fact that his book has long been attributed to Diderot. The first edition appeared in 1755 and a third also counterfeit edition in 1760.

First edition of a rare book of considerable Owen interest. A great social novel that places its author among the group of English writers against plutocracy like Charles Hall, Piercy Ravenstone, Thomas Hodgskin, William Thompson, John Francis Bray and John Gray, usually overshadowed by the impressive figure of Robert Owen. Morgan had propagated Owenite ideas already in his youth, and after he had made a fortune with a paper-mill he used his position to propagate his ideas among the richer classes. He wrote several 'tracts', best known are his Remarks on the practicability of Mr. Robert Owens plan to improve the condition of the lower classes (1819), in 1850 collected in the first volume of a series of books on social reform published by himself under the name of Phoenix Library.
In this novel the protagonist John Hampden, the man of justice from the seventeenth century, is placed in the nineteenth century. Hampden and his friends Fitzosborne, a kind of English Saint-Simonian inspired by Robert Owen and Charles Hall, and Charles Bertrand, a zealous christian philanthrophist, propagate social reform while they travel through England. They discuss the increase of crime with Bishop Howley, leaving a Catechism of Society, and meet Malthus at Hertford College. They argue with the economists, Mill, McCulloch, Martineau and others, reproaching their principles of individualism and pursuit of gain, opposed to the principle of Sympathy or universal benevolence. There is a long account of Robert Owen and his establishment at New Lanark, chapters on education, a discussion of West-Indian slavery and the poverty in the manufacturing districts of Birmingham and Manchester compared to the luxury of the rich, etc.
Among the plates are a 'diagram of imaginary virtues and positive vices', a portrait of Robert Owen and a view of New Lanark. In the text are another diagram 'illustrative of the formation of the human character' and an image of a cage 'containing cats, mice, and rats, an owl, rabbits, a hawk, doves, and small birds, all dwelling harmoniously together, affording a striking proof of the power of circumstances and training in subduing an original ferocity of character'.

A rare complete run of this radical republican daily of the Paris Commune. It includes news items, official announcements, political commentaries, etc., and ardently attacked the Versailles government, but at various occasions also criticized the communards. Its publication was suppressed after the appearance of nr 36 of 12 March, retaken under the Commune on 1 April, and suspended by Rochefort himself on 20 May.
Victor Henri Rochefort (1830-1913) was a journalist and one of the most trenchant opponents of Napoleon III. He gained great popularity in 1868 with his journal La Lanterne which however soon was forbidden. Rochefort was sentenced to thirteen months imprisonment and fled to Belgium. He returned to France the next year as a radical leftist member of the legislative body, and started a new journal La Marseillaise, but was arrested again. In September 1870 Rochefort became a member of the provisional government, but for a short time only, and then confined himself to merely journalistic agitation in the present journal. *Del Bo p.37.

First German edition. A treatise on mendicancy and poor relief. The author, a central figure in Italian enlightenment and librarian of the famous Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan, stresses the duty to give alms to the poor, though with caution because there are 'ill-natured, work-shy and voluptuous' beggars. Also city councils should care for their poor inhabitants, but they should not allow foreign beggars in their towns. Yet Muratori thinks that it is much better to provide work for the poor than to give alms, and for that he pleads for the establishment of working houses and similar institutions. The German translator Peter Obladen (1717-1801) was a priest from Augsburg and a diligent translator of foreign writers of catholic signature. Two more German editions of this appeared the next years. *Not in Kress, Goldsmiths', Einaudi or Humpert.

The 'first practical statement of socialist doctrine'. It consists of four parts: an introductory first essay, a second essay in which the developed principles were continued 'and applied to practice', a third essay in which the principles were 'applied to a particular situation', and a final essay in which the principles were 'applied to government'. These four essays were originally issued separately in 1813 and 1814 and together for the first time in 1816 (as a 'second edition'), and again in 1817. *NLW p.1. Kress C.137.

First edition. The debate between Robert Owen the socialist and the Rev. Alexander Campbell of Bethany was held over a period of 8 days 'from 9 a.m. until noon ... and resumed at 3 p.m. ... in the presence of about a thousand persons'. It was the outcome of Owen's challenge to the American clergy to discuss his plans in public, which dated from his earlier visit to the U.S. After the failure of the New Harmony experiment Owen had returned to England, but only a few months afterwards he discussed new plans in Mexico, and on his way back to England the present debate was held.
Owen's opponent, Alexander Campbell of Bethany was the founder of the Baptist congregation known as 'disciples' or 'Campbellites', which is said to have had some 100.000 followers in Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee, and also the founder and president of Bethany College. The last leaf contains Proposals by Alexander Campbell for publishing by subscription a monthly paper to be denominated The Millenial Harbinger.

First edition. The second major book of the author in which he analyzes the underlaying principles and the practical outlook of the various socialist systems. It was the result of Pareto's newly found belief that human action emanated rather from emotion and passion than from reason.
'The purpose of this book was to set out considered criticisms of liberal beliefs, and therefore of any doctrine based solely on reason, even socialist doctrines, whilst still recognizing the amazing catalytic effects of passions, instincts, feelings and will-power. Pareto maintained that socialism took advantage of the desire which every man has of transcending his own state, of imagining new roles for himself and his family, of building castles in the air and rationalizing them, of living in a better world. In this way socialism elaborated on powerful myths and political formulae which could be used to spur the masses into action and, through his action, bring asbout real changes in every sector of individual and collective life. In brief, socialism mobilized new energies. But more than that, it was a powerful and useful way of organizing the existing minorities by providing them with sufficient energy to gain political power. Liberalism calls on reason; socialism plays on feelings. And since feeling is at the root of all human action, socialism is politically more effective than liberalism. Nevertheless both ideologies have the same goal: to allow minorities to organize themselves and to adopt policies which will mobilize sufficient energy to acquire political power. Taking this analysis to its limits, Pareto discovered that a planned socialist economy produces the same results as a market economy, and that a socialist system can be equally as effective as a perfectly liberal system.' *New Palgrave III,p.802.

A complete run of the most popular daily journal of the Paris Commune. Edited by the poet and journalist Eugène Vermersch (1845- 1878), the Blanquist agitator and member of the First International Alphonse Humbert (1844-1922), and Maxime Vuillaume (1844-1920). They apparently got their inspiration from the journal with the same name published by Hébert in the first years of the Revolution. On its turn it inspired others, both from the left and from the right, to publish journals like le Fils Duchêne and le Fils du Père Duchêne. All issues are made up of eight pages in octavo and have varying preceding titles like La grande colère du Père Duchêne', 'Les bons avis du Père Duchêne', 'La grande motion du Père Duchêne', and subtitles in italics indicating the subjects of the day. Its publication was like that of other radical journals suppressed from the fifth issue of 10 March until 23 March 1871. *Del Bo p.41. Maillard p.156-160.

First edition thus. The Poor Law Commission was appointed in 1832 to inquire into the unsatisfactory operation of the poor laws. The report, largely drafted by Nassau Senior with the help of Edwin Chadwick, sketches a disenchanting picture of the effects of the poor laws on the conditions of the labouring population. It concludes that the existing administration of the poor laws merely advances pauperism by its depressing of wages, thus depriving labourers of every motive for doing honest work and ruining their domestic life. The commissioners propose among other things to limit the working of the laws to the indigent only, the institution of a central authority regulating the local administration and the foundation of workhouses, and these recommendations indeed were largely embodied in the new Poor Law of 1834. The present edition includes the full text of the report, but not the appendices of evidence which took almost eight thousand pages in folio of the original Report of the Royal Commission. *Einaudi 2750.

First edition. One of the earliest of Proudhon's numerous books, preceded by his work on the observance of Sunday of 1839 and his three memoirs on property of 1840/41 only. In it, Proudhon seeks to conceive a complete system of knowledge and social science, and shows himself greatly influenced by the lecture of the works of Charles Fourier. However it has been said that the book completely lacks sound method and is very fragmentary and, as Proudhon himself in his later years willingly admitted, an immature work that should be regarded as a merely preparatory study for his later books. *Nettlau p.17.

First edition? An exposition of Proudhon's theory of international relations, in which he holds that power is the decisive force in society and the sole basis for international law. His argument that war is a legitimate resolution for the battle between powers has yielded him considerable animosity from other socialist writers, and indeed appears contradictory to his theories on justice of a few years before.
Proudhon wrote this book in Belgium, where he took refuge after his condemnation to three years imprisonment for his De la justice dans la révolution et dans l'église. Despite the general pardon granted by Napoleon III he decided to stay in Brussels and in the preface to the present book Proudhon apologizes for his 'daring to present himself to the French public, and worse, for doing that with a book daté de l'étranger (Brussels 1 March 1861). The French publisher Garnier had also experienced a great deal of trouble with the publication of the said book and refused to publish this new book. Therefore it was published in France by a new publisher Dentu, but we could find no evidence whether that edition appeared before or after the present Belgian edition.
