'The Wealth of Nations', coming at a point when 'natural liberty' was being being widely debated, had a decisive influence both on the study of national economy and on the freeing of economic policy from the artificial restraint of the mercantilist system. Smith's statement that labour is the source of a nation's commodities and that the variation in 'stock' values are due to the interaction of wages, profits and rent, formulated the doctrine of the classic school of economic thought, and round it all modern economic discussion has revolved' (PMM).

Dall’introduzione apprendiamo che l’artista svizzero ha concepito “l’idéé de consacrer ses pinceaux à l’illustration d’une campagne simplement simulée, exécutée au sein de la paix.. en faisant un heureux mélange de scènes guerrières avec les scènes majestueuses de la nature des Alpes.. En 1861 la Suisse se trouve attaquée sur toute sa frontière méridionale..”. Le operazioni di guerra disegnate e descritte sono le seguenti: “Embarquement des troupes à Lucerne, 14 aout - Départ d’Amsteg, 16 aout - Construction du pont au Pfaffensprung (Saut du Moine), 16 aout - Combat du pont de Meidschlingen, 16 aout - Levée du camp de Wasen, 17 aout - Position près de Goeschenen, 17 aout - La batterie n. 27 à la première galerie de la route du St. Gotthard, 17 aout - Service divin du bataillon bernois au camp d’Andermatt, 18 aout - Rapport du soir au camp de Réalp, 19 aout - Marche de la I brigade vers la Furka, 20 aout - La II brigade au col des Nufenen, 20 aout - Halte de la I brigade au glacier du Rhone, 20 aout - Scène de bivouac dans la cour du palais Stockalper à Brigue, 22 aout - Combat du Bois de Finges, 24 aout - Entrée des troupes à Sion, 24 aout”.

Henry Stamper (1802?-1887), master bookbinder, was an associate of Bedford, Lewis, Clarke and Morrell; indeed he may have succeeded Bedford as manager of the Lewis bindery, and his later business passed to Morrell. Examples of his work are held by the Folger Shakespeare Library and the Bodleian. [We are indebted to Laurence Worms for the foregoing information.]

xiv, 282 pp. Index. "The chief significance of this book is that it offers an introduction to a vast range of economic thought which has conditioned the current state of the art, but is little appreciated by many university teachers, let alone their students. Among the more specific novelties of the book are: the attention given to pre-Socratic thought in Greece; emphasis on divergent assessments of economic life in the Christian and Jewish traditions; the survey of the Mishnah; and the prominence given to Leonard Lessius as a figure in European economics." - from dust jacket. Book clean and unmarked with very light wear. Binding tight. Light wear to dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. A nice copy. Book

In-8, cartonnage ocre à la bradel, pièce de titre de veau brun, tranches jaspées (rel. moderne Devauchelle), (8), 412, (2) p. Edition originale, et unique, de cet essai que L.-A. Say consacre à l'analyse critique des œuvres économiques de ses contemporains: Dupont de Nemours, Adam Smith, Canard, Lauderdale, Ganilh, Ricardo, Malthus, Destutt de Tracy, Saint-Chamans et son frère J.B. Say. L'auteur y développe une théorie entièrement originale dont l'importance a été réévaluée par les historiens modernes de l'économie politique. "Anticlassique", il combat la théorie libérale non pas comme les socialistes de son temps au nom de la justice, mais en réfutant la détermination de la valeur par le coût de production des classiques, pour y opposer une théorie personnelle de la valeur fondée sur l'utilité. Frère cadet de Jean-Baptiste Say auquel l'ouvrage est dédié, Louis-Auguste Say (1774-1840) fit fortune dans l'industrie sucrière. Il est le fondateur de l'empire sucrier portant son nom. Sur son oeuvre économique cf. Marc Penouil, 'Louis Say', in "Revue économique", 1967, vol. 18, n°1, p. 98-122. (Einaudi, 5129. Goldsmiths, 23443. Kress, C.967). Très bon exemplaire, très bien relié.
