Della proprieta rispetto al diritto politico. Scarce first edition in Italian, expanded with the translator's notes, of the 1792 essay De la propriété considérée dans ses rapports avec le droit politique, by the French economist close to Malthus's ideas who would soon be responsible for the French translation of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations. This work is here translated with additional notes by the Italian Republican Carlo Marieni; his notes provide citations and comments on the US Constitutions and on the Declaration of the Rights of the Man and of the Citizen, and mount an ulterior, articulate and passionate defence of the right to private property.
