Provenance: some offsetting from a manuscript leaf, now absent, to the verso of the first blank in volume II. First edition. Cournot was a well-known French economist and mathematician. He was the first economist who, "with competent knowledge of both subjects, endeavoured to apply mathematics to the treatment of economics. His main work in economics is 'Recherches sur les principes mathématiques de la théorie des richesses' (1838; "Research into the Mathematical Principles of the Theory of Wealth"). His primary concern was the analysis of partial market equilibrium, which he based on the assumption that participants in the process of exchange are either producers or merchants whose goal is the maximization of profit. He therefore ignored the concept of utility. His most important contributions were his discussions of supply and demand functions and of the establishment of equilibrium under conditions of monopoly, duopoly, and perfect competition; his analysis of the shifting of taxes, which he treated as changes in the cost of production; and his discussion of problems of international trade" (Encyclopedia Britannica online). In this book Cournot "sought to understand how, by the progress of mathematical abstraction, it is necessary to conceive the existence of a theory that relates to the general properties of continuous functions" (Preface).
