Beschreibung
1 blank leaf + half title + [1]-2 = Catéchisme des Industriels + TP + [5]-8 = Avertissment de l'Auteur + [1]-189 + 1 blank leaf, Octavo. First Edition.First Edition of the First Draft of Comte's Major Work.Although stating that this is the "first part", it was in fact the only one ever published. With the extremely rare, suppressed half title and introductory leaf (pp. [1]-2) by Saint Simon. This is the first draft of the author's main work, which was re-composed, completed and finally published in as the Système de Politique Positive, ou Traité de Sociologie in 1851-54. This first attempt constitutes the 3rd part of the Catéchisme des Industriels edited by Henri Saint-Simon. After the conflict with Saint-Simon, Comte suppressed the two leaves: the half title which carries the imprint Catéchisme des Industries, 3ième cahier, and the next leaf which is the preface, written by Saint-Simon. In that preface, Saint-Simon represented the work as being inspired by his theories, but he also makes a number of severely critical remarks which almost immediately led to the famous breach between the two men. Saint-Simon published this work only with the greatest hesitation and then only with his introduction disassociating himself from its content. He felt he need to distance himself from Comte who had, for the first time and in contrast to Saint-Simon, assigned a central role to the government. Contemporary half morocco binding with dark green marbled boards and spine with five raised bands and gilt lettering and decorations. The spine is just a bit worn on the edges. With the bookplate of August Gouge on the 90 and 9192 with a 2" tear diagonal from the outer margin, affecting some text but not affecting legibility. A very lovely copy of a rare work.
