book detail
PAUCTON, Alexis Jean Pierre.
[drop-head title:] Théorie, ou Science de la nature, des travaux et des salaires.
[colophon:] Paris, Imprimerie du Cercle-Social and Firmin Didot, ‘an VI de la République’ [1798]. 8vo, pp. 15, [1] blank; some light foxing; uncut in recent wrappers. First edition, published a few months before the author’s death. Paucton (1736–1798) is best remembered for his ‘useful and laborious’ (Gibbon) Métrologie, ou Traité des mesures, poids et monnoies des anciens peuples et modernes (1780). In the present work, he outlines a projected work entitled Théorie des lois de la nature: ‘La science est la nature intellectuelle, et la nature intellectuelle est une puissance entrelacée de neuf ligaments … [qui font] l’ordonnance du monde … la ligne, la surface, la densité, … le poids, le mouvement, … le temps, … la distance parcourue, le résultat ou produit du travail …’ He unites these elements by algebraic equations, extending his process to calculating the number of working days necessary to achieve a given task.Not in Einaudi, Goldsmiths’, INED, or Kress.
