MIRABEAU (Victor de Riquetti), Marquis: - L'Ami des Hommes, ou Traite de la Population. Troisieme Edition.
A Hambourg, Chez Chretien Herold, 1758. 2 volumes. 12mo, pp. [xii], 523 [524 contents]; [iv], 510 [511 contents, 512 blank], including half-titles, contemporary mottled French calf, spines ornately gilt in compartments, morocco labels; first six leaves in volume 1 misfolded, some damp-staining and minor worming in last part of volume 2, lacks numbering label on volume 2, some gilt gone from spine of volume 2 and text of last few leaves slightly affected by damp. First published in 1756, Mirabeau's work quickly excited the attention of other population theorists. The above volumes constitute the third edition of the first three parts of the six that Mirabeau eventually published. The fourth part appeared in 1758 and the remaining two parts in 1760, after Mirabeau had made the acquaintance of Quesnay, whose influence was clear in the later parts. Among the Scottish authors whom he cites are David Hume (who might have had mixed feelings to be described as "Auteur Anglais") and Robert Wallace. As with many of the Physiocrats, Mirabeau argued that the real wealth of a country resided in its land
