First edition, rare. Published with initials only, masking the identity of Chevalier Ange Goudar.
Manuscript ex libris ‘Daumas’ to ffep.
Contemporary sheep, spine in six compartments with gilt fleurons as well as a red titlepiece (partly faded). Significant repairs to joints, speckled edges. 
This plan for peace in Europe by the economist and philosopher Ange Goudar lays out the origins and impact of conflicts on European nations, putting the emphasis on their economic consequences. The author then proposes a European entente and a supranational army that would punish any country that engaged in warfare, making the point that the blessings of peace first and foremost result from a change in behavior and that European nations therefore needed to experience a period of peace in order to understand its benefits fully.
