This copy retains the entire original 17th-century text block, but has been professionally rebound in modern full calf (light tan) over boards, with a red morocco and gilt title label to the spine.

4to: 1 p. Very good on the first leaf of a bifolium. A third quarto leaf carries the address, in Dampier's hand, with his franking signature 'free | T. Rochester.' Also the oval seal, c.3 cm high, a clear impression in red wax. 24 lines of text. Interesting letter. Dampier begins by thanking Adams for 'your Congratulations to me on my Promotion to the See of Rochester. It is a Situation particularly agreeable to me, as, besides other Circumstances, it does not entirely remove me from my Kentish friends or from my Northern Friends.' Adams is suffering from Gout, and Dampier commiserates: 'I know how to feel for you'. As a result Adams has 'come to a Resolution of giving up the Business of the Trust. it was so safe in your Hands, on whose Zeal & Integrity, Experience & Abilities I have such Confidence, that I cannot but think myself under a personal obligation to you for having continued it so long.' Dampiers promotion 'will necessarily withdraw me from a constant Residence at Durham', but he will continue to pay 'such attention to the Concerns of the Trust as my Brethren may think proper to committ to me. I cannot from some late occurrences flatter myself that this will be much'. He would be 'glad if I could as easily part with my Connexion with the Trust as you have with yours; This would be a great Relief to me, but I cannot look to it.' He promises that he 'will never pass through Alnwick to the Castle without dining with you.' In 1776 Dampier succeeded his father as master of Sherburn Hospital, near Durham. Between 1778 and 1808 he was a prebendary of Durham Cathedral.…

London: T. Osborne. 1745. 8vo. Contemporary calf, gilt double-fillet border to covers, sometime rebacked with raised bands and paper label to spine, edges sprinkled red; pp. [10], 147, [3], 30, [2], with 12 engraved plates of coins; loosely inserted an additional engraved portrait of Bishop Fleetwood; extremities a little worn, endpapers renewed; occasional light spotting but overall a very good, clean copy; ownership inscriptions "H. L. 1760" "D. A. 1834" in ink to title; occasional marginal annotation in ink and pencil.Second edition, first published 1707. Bishop Fleetwood had been asked by a correspondent whether it was fair that a man should have to surrender his fellowship at Oxford for having an estate worth more than PS5, when that limit had been set in 1440. Fleetwood's ensuing effort to work out how much PS5 was worth in the fifteenth century led him to create this book, the first major historical survey of prices and wages. "Although in his price comparison Fleetwood did not go so far as to think of weighting his individual items according to their importance in a shopping basket, he did see the need to have a single magnitude, however approximate, as an index of change" (Stone). The book's significance did not gain recognition until the nineteenth century, although Adam Smith used some of Fleetwood's data in The Wealth of Nations.ESTC T145226.…

First edition of this landmark in the history of econometrics, the first major historical survey of prices, wages and income. In answer to a question about an Oxford Fellowship, Fleetwood set out to determine historical changes in the value of money. "But his treatise took a wider range; it brought together all the information he could find on the value of money and the prices of commodities during the Middle Ages in England; and it is still well worth consulting" (Palgrave II, 89). "Although in his price comparison Fleetwood did not go so far as to think of weighting his individual items according to their importance in a shopping basket, he did see the need to have a single magnitude, however approximate, as an index of change" (Stone). The index worked out by Fleetwood has proved notably accurate: the figures in E.H. Phelps Brown's and S.V. Hopkins' 1956 assessment of seven centuries of prices of consumables revealed a remarkable proximity to Fleetwood's results.
