FIRST EDITION TO INCLUDE THE NAME OF THE AUTHOR ON THE TITLE-PAGE SECOND EDITION OVERALL. The work in the form of a long letter discusses the failure of the bank in Pennsylvania which attempted to take the place of a previously existing National Bank. The failure of the bank is discussed at length in this letter to a European lady in order to answer the queries of European investors and Americans living abroad. The bank in question was not a federal institution but rather a privately run state sanctioned institution which attempted to take on the role of a federal bank. Cary also discusses national and state debts and many of the most important issues of the day such as slavery lynch laws dishonesty the tyranny of public opinion the security of property elections and the strength of the government and the concept of government in place in the United States. He attempts to explain the course of things in the new country and defend its manner of resolution and change against the admonitions and complaints of writers such as Charles Dickens and Capt.

First Edition, imprimatur leaf, engraved frontispiece, [4], 219, [5] pp., contemporary panelled calf, hinges partly cracked, label, a nice copy. Written by the judge, traveller, diplomatist and pamphleteer, Sir Thomas Burnet, (with the collaboration of George Duckett). In fact the correspondence between Burnet and Duffett (Roxburghe 1914) makes it clear that this was a joint production. This political satire on the statesman Robert Harley, Earl of Oxford, is far from being destitute of wit and humour and takes the form of an account of Martin Powell (fl.1709-29), the somewhat physically deformed showman who ran a celebrated puppet-show in Covent Garden. It also, of course, adopts the title of Swift's celebrated 'Tale of a Tub' (but is not recorded by Teerink-Scouten in the list of this work's spurious sequels etc.).

Later editions followed, among them those printed in Amsterdam. Gabriel François, abbé Coyer, was a French man of letters and worldly cleric born in 1707. He entered the Society of Jesus, studying humanities and philosophy until he left the order in 1736. In 1741 he became private tutor to the young Duke of Bouillon (Prince of Turenne at the time). There followed public functions that saw him in attendance at some battles of the War of the Austrian Succession (1740-48). His many works include a history of the Polish king Jan Sobieski, travel accounts of Holland and Italy, a study of ancient religions, belles-lettres, and a popular attack on the guild system, Chinki. He became a member of the Royal Academy of England and the Academy of Nancy. It is said that when he visited Voltaire at Ferney and announced his desire to return each year for three months, Voltaire replied that whereas Don Quixote had mistaken inns for castles, Coyer was mistaking castles for inns. He died in 1782. (See Henry C. Clarke: "Commerce, Culture, and Liberty: Readings on Capitalism before Adam Smith", Indianapolis, 2003.)

He expanded these ideas into a book Labor and Other Capital in 1849. The present edition of 1861 was edited by Kellogg's daughter. "Kellogg's chief idea was that interest rates should be based not on the scarcity of credit but on the basic operating costs of banks. 'Kelloggism' had a great influence on such inflationary movements as the Greenback and the Populist." See ADAMS Radical Literature in America p.49 first edition. SABIN 37286.
