FIX (Théodore). Revue mensuelle d'économie politique. Paris, Au Bureau du Journal, Renard, Levrault, 1833-1834. 12 issues in 2 volumes in-8, bradel cartonnage, smooth spine decorated (modern pastiche binding). Coquelin & Guillaumin, t. II, p. 530. Head of the collection, complete with the first 12 issues. This unusual journal, founded and edited by Théodore Fix (1800-1846), a Swiss economist who was a disciple of Malthus, appeared from July 1833 to 1836 and comprises five volumes in all. The first volume opens with an interesting article setting out the aim, principles and laws of political economy. Other writings published in these two volumes include an article by Sismondi entitled De la condition dans laquelle il convient de placer les nègres en les affranchissant, and Villermé's verbal report on Baron de Morogues' Recherches des causes de la richesse et de la misère des peuples. The binder has mistakenly interchanged the titles of the two volumes. False title and title of Volume I are missing.
