Re; "I WANT TO NOW IF YOU HAVE THE BOOK OF CONDORSET "CONSIDERATIONS
 ABOUT OF PROGRESS OF HUMAN SPIRIT" (OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT) ."

"Sketch for a historical picture of the progress of the human mind" 
 (1793) is in:
K.M. Baker (ed) 'Condorcet: selected writings' Bobbs-Merrill 1976 
ISBN 0-672-60381-0.

I have only just managed to get hold of a copy, and its GREAT for 
voting methods, and will certainly be of interest to political 
scientists generally.

The British library doesn't have a copy, but managed to get one from:

Frewen library
University of Portsmouth
Cambridge Road
PORTSMOUTH
P01 2ST

BL code XW/C-3.
Accession no.: PP 7706938

I have it until 22 Dec.

P.S. Condorcet was also a pioneer of library science.

Cheers.
