1767119925London: John Nourse and Desaint Paris 1767. Praised by Adam Smith - the second of Schumpeter's physiocrat textbooks First edition by "the ablest expositor of this i.e. Physiocratic system" McCulloch written following Le Mercier's retirement from Parliament in 1759. Praised by Adam Smith and Diderot amongst others L'Ordre naturel was according to Palgrave considered more highly than De l'Esprit des loix by some of Le Mercier's contemporaries. The author argues that there is a natural law of property which is based on the physical order of nature and which underlies all other laws. Taxation and the use of public revenue by the ruler are both governed by the natural law of property. Schumpeter lists this work as the second textbook of Physiocrat orthodoxy the first being Mirabeau's Philosophie rurale. Quarto 255 x 195 mm. Contemporary French mottled calf triple-rule border in blind to covers spine ruled and decorated gilt in compartments red morocco label marbled endpapers red edges green silk ribbon marker. Joints and corners professionally repaired occasional light spotting; a very good copy. Goldsmiths' 10269; Higgs 3979; Kress 6475; Mattioli 1959; Sraffa 3258. unknown

With its original separately printed title leaf folded into a wrap-around sleeve. In January 1776 Captain Bromedge wrote to Vice Admiral Schuldham regarding his boarding of the ship Boston Packet and his suspicion that they were carrying stores to the enemy. "I am informed by the crew of the Boston Packet that the Master declared repeatedly on the Passage that could he make Cape Codd he would go in there and land his cargo or could he make Cape Ann he did not fear meeting with some of his Friends to carry him into Beverly or Salem" see Naval Documents of the American Revolution Vol III p. 1005 for the full text of his letter. Regarding this and similar allegations Vice Admiral Graves issued the orders printed here specifically pertaining to the Boston Packet: "You are to seize and detain all Ships and Vessels belonging to the Inhabitants of the four New England Provinces and to send them to Boston." On the verso is printed Rear Admiral Schuldham's confirmation of Graves' order "the probability of these stores being smuggled away to the Enemy.makes me think it highly proper that they should be detained." In effect this is a Letter of Marque issued during the Revolutionary War but pertaining only to a particular class of merchant ships and to two vessels in particular one of which was the Boston Packet. Rare. OCLC shows only the John Carter Brown holding a copy. With manuscript additions dating the document September 1775 and addressing it to Captain Bromadge.

Housed together in a brown buckram slipcase. Front pastedown with morocco bookplate of Robert Hoe. Cross III 305; Rothschild 844; Tinker 1034. ◆Occasional mild browning or faint foxing but AN ESPECIALLY FINE SET clean and fresh internally in unworn bindings.<br/> <br/> This is a handsomely bound copy with superior provenance of the first appearance of a breakthrough work in the field of English literature. Fielding had a profound influence in determining the development of the novel and this was the first great instrument of that influence. Although some of the names of the characters are facetious the events personalities and settings are all characterized by convincing verisimilitude. The book was begun as a spoof of Richardson's sentimental "Pamela" but it ended up on its own as one of the best novels of the period. The beautiful bindings by the leading English workshop Riviere and the sparkling condition here are characteristic of books from the collection of our earlier owner Robert Hoe 1839-1911 founding member and first president of the Grolier Club. According to Beverly Chew Hoe's library was "the finest America has ever contained." Hoe acquired illuminated manuscripts early printing French and English literature and very fine bindings; when his library was sold in 1911-12 it fetched nearly $2 million a record that held until the Streeter sale more than 50 years later.
