Specialist Notes
First edition of one of Dupont's rarest works, and probably one of the most successful publications promoting physiocracy, first published in the journal Ephémérides du Citoyen . The work is based on Le Mercier de la Rivière's L'Ordre naturel et essentiel des Sociétés politiques , which Adam Smith called "the most distinct and best connected account of this doctrine". Schumpeter, in his discussion of the physiocrats, calls Dupont "by far the cleverest of lot" (p. 226) and notes Palgrave; "If Quesnay was the father of physiocracy, Dupont was its godfather, as he gave it the name with the publication of his Physiocratie. A collection of articles by Quesnay, which the publisher presented from a Discours", 10390 by Goldsmiths.
