BOYER (Adolphe). De l'état des ouvriers et de son améliorati - Lot 261
BOYER (Adolphe). De l'état des ouvriers et de son amélioration par l'organisation du travail. Paris, Dubois, 1841. In-12, half cloth bradel (Modern binding).
First edition of this extremely rare book, which deserves a prominent place in the history of the labor movement. After Noiret's Mémoires d'un ouvrier rouennais (1836), it is the first reformist book published in France by an authentic worker (typesetter).
Unable to meet his commitments due to the poor sales of his self-published book, and despairing of not being listened to, he took his own life. His funeral was a great popular event, and a subscription paid the printer and supported his family.
