Edmond About - Manuscrit autographe de travail - A B C du...

Autograph manuscript by Edmond About, French writer, journalist and Academician. The manuscript is undated; it is tied to the ABC of the worker, a popular science book on economics published in 1868. Written in black ink on 8 sheets of vellum paper, numbered 1 to 8. The first sheet bears the title “Elements of Social Economy” followed by the note “Introduction.” The text is abundantly crossed out and corrected, with many words struck through and interlinear additions, indicating a working draft before printing. There are blue ink annotations (“M. Fink,” “pl. 31,” “260”) and a framed subheading in pencil on sheet 7. In this manuscript, Edmond About presents, in a popularizing tone aimed at the working classes, notions of social economy: savings, capital and tools, the right of property, the distribution of wealth, the condition of the proletariat, freedom of unions and strikes, and the relationships between labor and capital. - Dimensions: 15.4 x 21 cm - Condition: Good overall.
