Genuine first edition.<\/span><\/p>\nThe errata have not been corrected (contrary to the counterfeit with the same number of pages).<\/p>\n
In this work Voltaire “pr\u00e9tend d\u00e9montrer d’abord l’absurdit\u00e9 des faiseurs de projets qui voudraient n’\u00e9tablir qu’un imp\u00f4t unique. Cette critique tombe sur la Richesse de l’\u00e9tat <\/i>[par Roussel da La Tour] et sur le livre de M. de La Rivi\u00e8re [L’Ordre naturel]<\/i>” (Bengesco). <\/p>\n
L’Homme aux quarante \u00e9cus <\/i>was condemned on 24 September 1768 and ordered to be set on fire, because it was <\/i>“contraire aux bonnes moeurs et \u00e0 la religion”. Curiously, extracts from this work were nevertheless published in the Mercure de France in July 1768. The decision to place it on the index was taken in Rome on 29 November 1771.<\/p>\n
L’Homme aux quarante \u00e9cu<\/i>s was a huge success, and Bengesco lists no fewer than 10 French editions in the 18th century. <\/p>\n
“Dans L’Homme aux quarante \u00e9cus Voltaire visait tout particuli\u00e8rement les doctrines des physiocrates. L’oeuvre connut un succ\u00e8s imm\u00e9diat… Dans cette \u0153uvre, le bon sens de Voltaire se r\u00e9volta contre un syst\u00e8me qui cherchait \u00e0 imposer de nouvelles absurdit\u00e9s pour tenter de corriger celles qui existaient d\u00e9j\u00e0” (Edward Ousselin, in : The French Review, vol. 72, no. 3, f\u00e9v. 1999, pp. 493-502). <\/p>\n
