    Original and only published edition. Bibliography: INED, 4116; Einaudi, A.867; unknown to Kress; unknown to Dupin. “The Principles do not bear the mark of a particularly original or powerful mind, but they nonetheless constitute a systematic exposition, if not of the doctrine of the Physiocrats, at least of a system very close to it, a system which he extends to almost all areas of life in society, as well as to the relations between societies. For him, legislation “encompasses a broader field than that ordinarily assigned to it.” The “science of legislation”—and how can we fail to emphasize this phrase, which Schmidt uses from the very first lines of his work?—“is based solely on the relations of man with nature and society,” that is to say, on the “universal,” “invariable,” “eternal” laws “prescribed to them,” and ultimately on “the natural order,” the revelation of which the 18th century owed to physiocracy.” » (P. Cordey, Benjamin Constant, Studies & Research, European Review of Social Sciences, Geneva, Lib. Droz, Vol. XVIII - 1980 - No. 50, p. 56 et seq.).
