Dear Axel,

The first brightest and clearest exposition of 
the idea of diminishing marginal utility can be 
found in the two articles of Jules Dupuit 
published in the Annales des Ponts et Chaussées. 
The references are the following:

dupuit, j. (1844), « De la mesure de l'utilité 
des travaux publics », Annales des Ponts et 
Chaussées, 2e série, n° 116, tome 8, 2e semestre, pp. 332-75.

dupuit, j. (1849), « De l'influence des péages 
sur l'utilité des voies de communication », 
Annales des Ponts et Chaussées, Mémoires et 
documents, 2e série, n° 207, Mars-Avril, pp. 170-248.

You can also refer to Heinrich GOSSEN (1854).

Best,

Guy Numa
