Description
[PANCKOUCKE] ROUSSELOT DE SURGY, Jacques-Philibert. Encyclopédie méthodique. Finance. The three volumes of the finance section of Panckoucke’s Encyclopédie, in a simple 19th-century rebinding. Paris and Liège, Panckoucke and Plomteux, 1784–1787. 3 in-4 volumes, black half-percaline, smooth spines decorated with gilt fillets; mottled edges. 2 unnumbered folios – 12–LX and 695; 2 unnumbered folios and 787; 2 ff. n.ch. – 797 and XVII pages. Normal wear and tear, scattered foxing. Two small tears in the margins of pages 185 and 524 of volume 1. First edition of the Encyclopédie méthodique compiled by Panckoucke, opening with a historical essay by Rousselot de Surgy, former principal clerk of the Treasury. Complete with the ordinal and annotated table of articles. This section of the Encyclopédie méthodique “deals with the whole range of financial matters in a series of articles arranged in alphabetical order. One cannot undertake the study of the finances of the Ancien Régime without having this methodical collection at one’s disposal.” (Stourm, 23). Launched by subscription by Charles-Joseph Panckoucke in 1782, the publication of the Encyclopédie Méthodique, based on that of Diderot and d’Alembert, spanned nearly half a century and was distinguished by a more efficient thematic classification, bringing together a total of 43 scholarly dictionaries. A fine copy.
