[DUPONT DE NEMOURS (Pierre-Samuel). Mémoires sur la vie et les ouvrages de M. Turgot, ministre d'État. Philadelphia [Paris], s.n., 1782. 2 parts in one volume in-8, blond calf, triple gilt fillet, ornate spine, green title page, interior roulette, gilt edges (period binding). INED, n°1610. First edition of the most important work on the life and work of Turgot: the book, written at the request of Turgot's family for use in the eulogy that Du Puy was to deliver at the Académie des Inscriptions and in the biography that Condorcet was preparing, contributed to an understanding of the greatness of the work conceived by Louis XVI's finance minister (cf. Schelle, Dupont de Nemours). A fine copy in contemporary blond calf. Beginning of a split at one joint, trace of wetness at the foot, not serious.
