188128858Toronto. Hunter Rose and Company. 1880-1881 1881. Hardcover. 8vo 21cm in 2 volumes viii367 & vii 676pp. original elaborately decorated green cloth gilt titles and decorations on the spine and on the covers which includes black stamped decorated boarders cover panel decorations repeated in blind on the bottom board a fine set rare cgc The complete first series of the Canadian monthly "The Bystander" that eventually ran to September 1890. The monthly was written and published by Goldwin Smith who had used the nom-de-plume The Bystander in his writings . Graeme Mercer Adam was literary assistant and business manager of "The Bystander" for its early years. A very attractive set. "Smith resigned from The Nation and temporarily withdrew from the pillory. Canada First was in trouble. The Canadian National Association had ceased existence after the defection of its hero Edward Blake and internal disputes over whether it should be a third political party. So opinionated a man as Smith could not keep silent. In 1879 A Bystander was once again back in Canadian Monthly and National Review. Not only that but Smith founded and almost entirely alone wrote The Bystander an independent publication with several metamorphoses; as a monthly whose motto was Not Parity But the People from January 1880 to June 1881; as a quarterly from January through October 1883; and then again as a monthly from October 1889 to September 1890". - Sutherland.

1817241040United Kingdom: Joseph Butterworth 1817. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. 4to - over 9¾" - 12. N/a. On offer a scarce - what appears to be a first edition - 8 volume set in contemporary leather bindings of the great Weslyan Arminian commentary by Dr Adam Clarke 1762-1832. Volume I is missing the title page but has the half title page which simply states: 'Dr. Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Old Testament. Volume I. Containing Genesis Exodus Leviticus and Numbers'. There are however half-titles and title pages to all other volumes including the New Testament commentary in 3 volumes - published by J. Butterworth and Son so I am reasonably sure that the Old Testament one is missing and dated 1817 and all other volumes. This set complete with fold-out maps and plates. This set bears the bookplate of George Birch Johnston who I believe was born in Glynn Co. Antrim in March 1811 for this came out of a library with other Irish material but it may be another George Birch Johnston. The Clarke Commentary was very much a Weslyan-Armenian Biblical exposition and provided a counter to the more Calvinist commentaries. It is therefore important in Christian and Methodist church history. Spurgeon famously joked about keeping his John Gill a strictly Calvinist commentator and Adam Clarke a strong Arminian commentaries separated on his bookshelf so they wouldn't "wake him up at night with their arguing". He used the more moderate commentary of Philip Doddridge as a buffer between them. Bound in contemporaneous leather. The fore-edges contemporaneously marbled There is some insect damage to the leather - chiefly to the leather around the joints - more significant to the tail of the Old Testament Number III 1st King's. This also has some more notable scratching to leather to the rear board - Likewise - some damage - 2cm in lengthto the tail of the front joint - volume 4 psalms. Some splitting to the lower external joint of volume I - about 8cm in length. Also some rubbing to the heads/tails of the spines and to some board corners. The text blocks remain very clean with spotting chiefly to the endpapers but scattered elsewhere to some volumes. There is an expertly repaired tear to one page in the first Old Testament volume. A scarce and still handsome 8 volume set which appear to all be first editions. Joseph Butterworth hardcover

A few light occassional underlining in pencil otherwise internally fine and clean. 1-515 1 IV pp. <br/><br/><em>Rare first Russian translation of Adam Smith's 'The Theory of Moral Sentiments'.The translator Pavel Bibikov 1831-1875 also translated the 'Wealth of Nations' in 1866 both being part of his series the Library of Classical European Writers. Bibikov regarded the two works as complementing each other as he remarks in his preface to this translation "the works reinforce each other. That is why having published in Russian Adam Smith's great work of political economy I decided to translate and publish his other work which is no less remarkable and yet known even less to Russian society than the first" p. 5. "Bibikov's translation probably done via French remained the only Russian version available until 1997". National Library of Scotland.Adam Smith developed a comprehensive and unusual version of moral sentimentalism in his Theory of Moral Sentiments 1759 TMS. He did not expressly lay out a political philosophy in similar detail but a distinctive set of views on politics can be extrapolated from elements of both TMS and his Wealth of Nations. Although these economic doctrines had not been unheard of in Russia prior to the rise of Anglophile feelings at the beginning of the nineteenth century "it was not until interest and admiration for things British was firmly rooted that classical economics could secure its ground in Russia" Tanaka The Controversies Concerning Russian Capitalism - An Analysis of the Views of Plekhanov and Lenin this processes coincided with the present publication which became important in the spreading of Adam Smith's economic principles in Russia.

18692642Warsaw 1869. In contemporary half cloth. Bindig little bit torn little bit worn. Library sticker on the spine. Few pages creasy. In contemporary half cloth. 213 p. ''In 1869 a monograph on Adam Smith by Konstanty Wzdulski the first in Polish was published as a part of his book Economic Sketches Wzdulski 1869. Earlier it had been printed in “Gazeta Rolnicza†Agriculture Newspaper. Entitled “Adam Smith life and works†1723-1790 it consists of four sections: in the first pp. 39-62 a short biography of Smith; in the other three pp. 63- 118 the contents of WN is summarized. As an epigraph Wzdulski used a quote from Pietro Rossi successor to J.B. Say at the Collège de France from his Cours d' Economie politique 1840-42: “Adam Smith c’est le maître de nous tousâ€. The author sought “to acquaint Polish readers with the contents of the most important work in the field of political economy up to this time. It is still little known in our country†Wzdulski 1869 pp. 112-113. In conclusion he defends political economy as a science and - quoting L. WoÅ‚owski - refutes the imputation put forward by representatives of the German historical school that Smith was “an apostle of individualism and egoism†Wzdulski 1869 pp. 116- 117. In Chodorowski’s opinion Chodorowski 1980 p. 155 the defence of classical political economy against the German historical school is significant if we take into consideration that Wzdulski is said to be a precursor of a Catholic trend in economic thought although later from this trend many reproaches against Adam Smith’s economy have been put.
