BURET (Eugene). From the misery of the working classes in England and France. Paris, Paulin, 1840. 2 volumes in-8, red half calf, spine decorated (contemporary binding). Goldsmiths, #31647. - Granier, Bibliographie charitable, no. 1425. First edition, very rare. Due to the economist Eugène Buret (1810-1842), a disciple of Sismondi, and awarded by the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences, this study constitutes one of the first sociological analyses of pauperism and had a profound influence on the thought of Karl Marx. Buret's book is one of the most remarkable of the new French School of Economics. It is the first protest of labour against the abuses of capital. ...] this work is the most eloquent manifesto that has ever appeared against the excesses of English industrialism (Adolphe Blanqui, Histoire de l'économie politique en Europe). Handwritten ex-libris on a guard: Allard. A few freckles. Rubbing on the binding, tears on the head covers and re-colouring in places.
