Napoléon Ier (1769-1821).
Autograph MANUSCRIPT, Notes diverses. Richesse des nations…, Valence, July 1791| 13 pages in-fol., quire composed of 4 bifolia (traces of glue in the margin of the first page)| in a black calf folder, black calf box.
Precious manuscript by the young Bonaparte, avid reader of Adam Smith. Unpublished.
Manuscript copied in brown ink, margin traced in red crayon. Napoleon has written at the top of the first page « Cayer — », leaving a space blank for a projected numbering. In the margin, he has inscribed: « Notes diverses. Richesse des nations – Smith traduit par Roucher. Tome 1er. Valence juillet 1791 ». Napoleon was indeed in garrison at Valence with the 4th Artillery Regiment from 16 June to 31 August 1791.
Adam Smith’s Recherches sur la nature et les causes de la richesse des nations had recently been translated by Jean-Antoine ROUCHER (Paris, Buisson, 1790).
Bonaparte focused in particular on five chapters of Book I: chapter one, « On the division of labour »| chapter III: « On the division of labour, limited by the scope of the Market » | IV « On the origine and use of currency | V « On the real and nominal price of merchandises, or their value in time and money », VIII « On salaries tied to labour ».
The notes are not simply reader’s notes, they are personal reflections elaborated by Bonaparte who reacts to Smith’s text and formulates his own economic and theoretical positions.
