Erstausgabe
Rare first edition in French of Steuart's Inquiry into the principles of political economy, the translation prepared by Étienne de Sénovert upon the request of Alexandre Vandermonde. Vandermonde, a strong supporter of the Revolution, member of the Académie des Sciences and teacher in political economy at the newly created École Normale, saw that Steuart's work made points not focused on in Adam Smith's more widely translated works. "Sir James Steuart had the misfortune to be followed by Adam Smith in less than a decade. Otherwise [Steuart's Inquiry] would probably have served as the standard English economic text" (Carpenter). Its later influence "proved to be most considerable on the continent. During the 1770s the text was translated into German (twice), and into French in 1789. One authority has noted that 'until the final decade of the eighteenth century, Sir James Steuart's Inquiry was better known and more frequently cited than Smith's Wealth of Nations' (Tribe, 133). The admiration of the members of the nineteenth-century German historical school is now well known. Steuart's historical and cosmopolitan perspective later attracted the well-documented attention of Marx, while it is known that Hegel spent some three months studying one of the German editions. But perhaps the most intriguing link is with North America. The Dublin edition of the Inquiry (1770) was widely circulated in the colonies. The book also attracted the attention of Alexander Hamilton, whose protectionist position was adopted with a view to counterbalancing the competitive advantages of the British economy in the years following the treaty of Paris (1783)" (ODNB). Kress S.5268; not in Einaudi, Goldsmiths' or Mattioli. Five volumes, octavo (198 x 122 mm). Contemporary half roan and sprinkled boards, spines ruled gilt, labels and numbering pieces, yellow edges. Bookplate of the Barante Library to each front pastedown, evidence of paper shelf label removal from foot of each spine, bindings nonetheless fresh. Blank corner of one leaf restored not affecting text (CC2 in vol. IV), a couple of marginal tears repaired, one entering text (leaf T4 vol. II), contents clean. A very good copy.

First Dublin edition. Three octavo volumes (8 x 4 7/8 inches; 205 x 125 mm). [10], [i]-xxi, [5], [1, blank], 426, [2, publisher's ads]; [30], 288, 281-424; [8], 431, [1, blank], [19, index], [1, blank] pp. With one folding table, a list of subscribers, and index and two pages of publisher's advertisements. Uniformly bound in contemporary full sheep. Spines ruled and numbered in gilt. Dark red morocco spine labels, lettered in gilt. All edges speckled red. Minor chipping to head and tail of the spine of volume II. Outer joints starting on volumes I and II, but still firm. Previous owner's old ink notes on front free endpaper of Volume I. Previous owner's signature on half-title of volume I and title-page of volume II. Some foxing and toning throughout, and some occasional light marginal dampstaining. The rear endpapers of each volume with some fraying. Overall a very good copy. The previous owner's note on the front free endpaper of volume I reads "The Inquiry of Sir James Steuart is learned and profound; but it is clogged with prejudices, and obscured [the "d" is almost invisible] by a stile [sic] uncouth and almost unintelligible; it has therefore been of more utility to author's [sic] than to the Public - Adam Smith, with inferior Powers + less information, but with more art [?] of management, and greater perspicacity [?] of Language, has attracted more attention and been of greater service in stimulating political inquiries." "The book has been variously appraised; popular for a few years, it was completely overshadowed after 1776 by Smith's Wealth of Nations but was rediscovered in the nineteenth century by German scholars, who even hailed Steuart as the real founder of economic science. This claim is not wholly invalid. He was the first to set out with some pretense at system the principles of economic policy and to analyze their theoretical basis; and he was also the first writer in English to name his study â Political Economy', i.e. â the science of Domestic Policy in free Nations'. Moreover, recognizing the danger of verbal misunderstandings in economic discussions, he set out to elaborate a precise terminology for his science. At many points he made contributions of real interest to economic theoryâ "notably in his discussion of population problems, in his distinction between price and value and his analysis of the component parts of the latter and in his investigation into the â balance of demand' and labor supply, or â work', and the nature and function of competition" (Encyclopædia of the Social Sciences). "Sir James Steuart had the misfortune to be followed by Adam Smith in less than a decade. Otherwise, his work would probably have served as the standard English economic text" (Carpenter).

Erstausgabe
First complete edition in German of Steuart's An Inquiry into the Principles of Political Oeconomy (London, 1767), a masterpiece of economics which "was rediscovered in the nineteenth century by German scholars, who even hailed Steuart as the real founder of economic science" (ESS). It is here translated by Steuart's close friend Christoph Friedrich Schott. Of the two competing translations into German published in 1769-72, this is more faithful to Steuart's writing. The translator Schott was a friend of Steuart from the four years the latter spent in Tübingen. Steuart wrote much of the Inquiry there in 1758-9, and in 1761 Schott published a translation of Steuart's Dissertation Upon the Doctrine and Principles of Money. In the preface to this translation, the publisher is keen to emphasize this personal connection. The other translation was published in Hamburg and appears to have precedence, but abridges chapter 28, which here appears in its entirety. The Inquiry, Steuart's magnum opus, had the misfortune to be eclipsed by Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations in 1776 - "otherwise, his work would probably have served as the standard English economic text" (Carpenter, p. 20). The 19th-century German appraisal of the work may be influenced by the fact Steuart's economics drew heavily on German neocameralism. Higgs 4569; Humpert 13147; Kress mentions the Hamburg edition of the same year; not in Goldsmiths'. Kenneth E. Carpenter, The Economic Bestsellers Before 1850, 1975. Five volumes, octavo (195 x 119 mm). Contemporary boards, printed paper labels. Folding table in vol. III. 19th-century library stamp of the Königlich Preußisches Statistisches Bureau to the title pages, and 20th-century Japanese stamp to title pages or front free endpapers. Light rubbing (some abrasion to spine label lettering), else bindings very well preserved, occasional very light foxing else clean. An excellent set.

8vo. pp. xlviii, 518, [2]ads. 7 engraved plates (incl. frontis. portrait of the author). A nice copy in original blind & gilt-stamped cloth (spine sunned, light foxing to plate margins & neighbouring leaves). Inscribed on behalf of the author s daughter on half-title. Third Edition. With a memoir of the Author, and his last additions and improvements. Steuart developed a particular method for transporting and transplanting large ornamental trees, which was used successfully throughout Great Britain although it proved to be impractical in America because of the climate. Sir Walter Scott enthusiastically reviewed the present work in the Quarterly when it was first published in 1828, and noted in his journal: "Sir Henry is a sad coxcomb, and lifted beyond the solid earth by the effect of his book s success. But the book well deserves it." cfRaphael, An Oak Spring Sylva, 44.

Hardcover. 4to. pp. xv, [2 leaves], 481. with half-title. 2 engraved maps (1 folding), 7 engraved plates (1 folding, 1 of music), 8 hand-coloured aquatints, & 15 engravings in the text. 4 folding tables. 19th century cloth-backed bds., rebacked with spine mounted, new lettering piece (some wear to covers, some foxing - fairly heavy on some of the engraved plates but the aquatints are quite clean). Second Edition. Mackenzie, a distinguished mineralogist and president of the physical class of the Royal Society, travelled to Iceland in 1810 in the company of Drs. Henry Holland and Richard Bright. The present work is the joint production of the three men, Mackenzie contributing the narrative of the voyage and travels, and the chapters on mineralogy, rural economy and commerce, Dr. Bright the sections on zoology and botany, and Dr. Holland the chapters on literature, diseases, and government, laws and religion. "Although the scientific portions of the book have long been superseded, it contains much information of permanent interest on the social and economic condition of Iceland." (DNB) The mineralogical collections brought back from the expedition were spoken of with great admiration by Sir Charles Lyell. The fine hand-coloured aquatints of scenery and costume by J.Clark and text engravings and plates by R.Scott and E.Mitchell are based on original sketches by the three travellers, the majority drawn by Mackenzie. This edition has been slightly revised and a short account of the Revolution of 1809 added to the Appendix. Abbey, Travel, 160. Prideaux pp. 232 & 343. Tooley 314.
