First and only edition of Edwards’ helpful comments on the French revolution.<br />
Edwards (1752–1823) was a medical doctor with a penchant for social<br />
reform. In the present work, one of very few actually published in<br />
French, he addresses French legislators and advises the French people how<br />
they should form their next, or reform their present, constitution.<br />
His brief treatise touches on agriculture, ‘culture mentale’, medicine, arts<br />
and sciences, political re-organisation of the country, police, and public liberty.<br />
He ends with a table outlining his conception of the human spirit, or<br />
‘culture mentale’.<br />

it. He gives a clear outline of farm management, agricultural credit and co-<br />

operation. In the Wrst part he is concerned with the actual estates and farms,<br />
discussing estate sizes, forms of their organisation and legal constraints. A<br />
Wnal section of the Wrst volume is devoted to agricultural products and their<br />
current market value. The second volume covers the role and position of the<br />
farming communities within the state. Discussed are education, the social<br />
position of farmers, agricultural legislation, and special organisations.<br />
Elsner also gives brief outlines of agricultural production in other European<br />

incentive for higher quality products.<br />
