Beschreibung

London, Thomas Horne, 1700 ('Fourth Edition, carefully Corrected and Enlarg'd')/ 1638. Folio, [iv], 432 (last page blank), [16] (index and table, last page blank), 67, [1] (publisher's catalogue) pages. Modern antique-style panelled calf (by Newbold and Collins), with a contrasting title-label on the spine; apart from the title page (printed in red and black on superior paper) and the dedication leaf, the paper is foxed and discoloured, but the book exhibits few signs of use and is overall in excellent condition. The balance of the title reads: 'The Real and Imaginary Coins of Accounts and Exchanges express'd. The Natural Products and Artificial Commodities and Manufactures for Transportation declar'd. The Weights and Measures of all Eminent Cities and Towns of Traffick in the Universe, collected one into another; and all reduc'd to the Meridian of Commerce practis'd in the Famous City of London. To which is annexed, Advice concerning Bills of Exchange . [by John Marius]. Together with . that most Perfect Treatise of Trade, entitled, England's Benefit and Advantage by Foreign Trade demonstrated, by Tho. Mun, of London, Merchant'. The work is 'One of the earliest systematic treatises on its subject in English' ('Dictionary of National Biography') which 'represents the economic views of England of the seventeenth century more accurately than any other work of that age' (Carl Menger).
