Doctor Claire Was Formerly A Member Of The Law Faculty At The University Of Oregon. He Was In 1934 A Practicing Member Of The Pennsylvania Bar. Per A Contemporary Review "He Discusses Many Of The Agencies Of The New Deal. In The Introduction He Says: "It May Be That The United States Is On The Threshold Of A Period Of Reinterpretation Of The Constitution Perhaps Like The Period 1800-1835 Which Will Witness A Broadening Of The Powers Of The Federal Government." The Appendix Carries The Texts Of Important Acts Such As The National Industrial Recovery Act The Tennessee Valley Authority And The Agricultural Adjustment Act. There Is A Helpful Index." The Author's Point Is Better Summarized In The Foreword By James T. Young "We Must Study With A New Enthusiasm The Host Of Scientific Prooblems Presented By The Organiuzation The Operation And The Control Of Executive Authorities.

169616674London 1696. First edition. 1 vols. Sm 4to. Disbound chipping and losses from removed stitching margins closely trimmed and cropped with text loss on the first eight pages the loss is generally a letter or part of a word so that the content is understandable thereafter a line of text is missing on each page as well as the letters or parts of words trimmed from the margins these losses do not seem to greatly affect comprehension of Killigrew's plan two overlay slips to correct text on page 4 and another on page 8 some soiling. First edition. 1 vols. Sm 4to. This is Killigrew's proposal for allaying the national debt by a system of bonds and paper specie. He had presented a similar proposal in the early reign of William and Mary and apparently revives it here with additions and answers to some of his critics. Kress and the DNB give 1663 as the date of publication but he makes references to "the reign of Charles II" and in the "Clause" the notation "To carry on the War the year 97" appears. Killigrew died in October 1695. Following this pamphlet is a single leaf entitled "To the Honourable the Knights Citizens and Burgesses in Parliament Assembled The Humble Petition of Percivall Brunskell Gent." Kress 1111 giving the date of 1663 as does the DNB; Wing K.466 giving the date of 1696 unknown

"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.

27780Folio two pages inscribed on a four page bi-folium paper browned some paper loss on integral address leaf else in good legible condition. Letter from John W. Kittera Federalist member of Congress from Lancaster Pennsylvania to Jasper Yeates 1745-1817 jurist and justice of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court also from Lancaster in which Kittera relates some of the growing tensions arising from the Proclamation of Neutrality in 1793 after the declaration of war by France against Great Britain and the extension of the wars of the French Revolution into a greater maritime war and the resultant seizure of American shipping by the British as well as the French. " At this most critical and alarming period when the public bodies are in a perfect state of uncertainty whether our common country shall long enjoy the blessings of peace or soon be involved in all the horrors of war you will excuse me for intruding on you a few sentiments that have strongly impressed my mind. - While the government have declared this country in a state of neutrality the people by their public rejoicings at the success of the French arms by the secret aid furnished to the French by their town meetings hasty resolves and newspaper publications are evidently endangering the peace of the Country. The depredations committed on our trade particularly in the West Indies have so provoked the mercantile part of the community that their resentments can in many parts of the Union with difficulty be restrained. The Judge of the island of Montserrat an unprincipled rascal who is said to be interested in most of the privateers condemns all the American vessels that are tried in his Court. Injuries to our trade of the grossest kind are not only received from the British who have really received some provocation by the frauds of our merchants and the conduct of our Citizens but the French have detained in Bordeau above one hundred sale of American merchantmen by an imbargo for near six months. sic In this State of things what is best to be done is a question of immense difficulty. Congress have had their doors shut for three or four days past and I am at liberty to inform you that a question was taken respecting the laying of an imbargo sic and carried in the negative by a small majority. At first I confess I felt favorably disposed towards the measure but on the discussion changed my sentiments. I never saw Congress reduced to so many difficulties - You have seen the resolves of our town meeting. Dallas and Swanart harangued the crowd from the State House window and received a general huzza at the conclusion of each resolution. One drunken sailor had the assurance to say No for which he had two of his ribs broken and otherways much abused. But few of the respectable Citizens attended another meeting is to be had this evening. The mob at New York assembled on Sunday week entered the Roman Chapel playing the time of Caira drove the priest from the altar & the worshippers from the Church. These violent measures are productions of the worst of all evils and if instead of intrusting the management of the government in the hands of the Representatives of the people designing men are thus frequently to assemble the people to legislate for themselves the objection made by Despots to a republican form of government that it is good in theory but bad in practice is a good objection. Those things are particularly improper at a time like the present. Excuse the freedom of these sentiments."
