A Scarce Essay on Insolvency Written When Great Britain was Emerging as a Modern Commercial Power: OCLC Locates 1 Copy in a North American Law Library [Courteville, Raphael (1675?-1772)]. Arguments Respecting Insolvency. Dedicated to the Rt. Hon. Arthur Onslow, Esq; Speaker of the House of Commons. London: Printed for M. Cooper, At the Globe in Pater-Noster-Row, [1760?]. vii, [1], 32 pp. Octavo (7-1/4" x 4"; 18.4 x 10.2 cm). Disbound stab-stitched pamphlet. Moderate toning, light soiling to exterior, upper outside corner of last leaf lacking with no loss to text, "6" in small early hand to head of title page. A very good copy overall. $350. * Only edition of this rare, insightful commentary on the intersections of credit, ethics, and British law at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. Writing at a pivotal moment when Great Britain's domestic and global commerce increasingly relied on complex credit networks, Courteville offers an early, sophisticated critique of the social and economic costs of imprisonment for debt alongside a rigorous analysis of contemporary bankruptcy statutes. Rather than viewing insolvency through a purely punitive or moralistic lens, Courteville treats it as an unavoidable structural reality of a modern commercial state. He proposes a series of pragmatic legal reforms aimed at balancing the rights of creditors with the economic rehabilitation of honest debtors. To support his arguments, he performs a comparative legal analysis-most notably drawing parallels to the mercantile laws of Holland-and scrutinizes recent insolvency acts passed by Parliament to illustrate where current British legislation fell short. Raphael Courteville is a fascinatingly multifaceted figure of the Georgian era. While chiefly remembered today as a notable organist at St. James's, Westminster, and a hymn composer, he was also an aggressive and prolific political writer. For years, he served as a dedicated state pamphleteer under the payroll of Prime Minister Sir Robert Walpole, frequently writing for The Daily Gazetteer under the pseudonym "Freeman"-a role that earned him the colorful nickname "Court-Evil" from his Tory detractors. This tract displays his characteristic polemical sharpness applied to legal and economic reform. OCLC locates 1 copy in a North American law library (Library of Congress). English Short-Titl.…
