Translated by H. G. Riquetti, comte de Mirabeau, sometime attributed to E. Rumare (Cf. British Library). John Baker Holroyd, 1st Earl of Sheffield (1735-1821), English politician. Having served in the Army, he entered the House of Commons in 1780. In 1803 he was appointed President of the Board of Agriculture. He was a great authority on farming and a leading economic authority of his time. In 1792, "A brief examination of Lord Sheffield's observations on the commerce of the United States", by Tench Coxe, was published as a reaction to Holroyd's book. B-1.

First edition, 8vo, iv, [3]-60 pp., stitched as issued, uncut and unopened, small stain on inner blank margin of title, a nice copy. In this work the author strongly condemns the present management of the poor as a disgrace to the policy and political economy of the poor. He alleged that the heavy burden of the poor rate had so ruined small tradesmen as to have added to, rather than reduced the existing number of paupers. He advocated the abandonment of the whole system; the separation and classification of paupers, the education of pauper children, and their separation from criminal parents. He suggested the application of the unemployed to agricultural work. Holroyd, an intimate friend of Gibbon, wrote numerous pamphlets on economic subjects, including commerce, manufacturers, slavery and the Corn Laws. His estate at Sheffield Place, in Sussex, was regarded as a model of farming. Kress, C170; Goldsmith, 22206; Einaudi, 2916; Black, 3097.

A detailed exposition and statistical comparison of the imports and exports of Great Britain and the United States, from 1700 to 1783. With each edition, Sheffield substantially revised and enlarged the text. Written in opposition to the bill introduced by Pitt in 1783, proposing to relax the navigation laws in favour of the States, the work was influential in determining the abandonment of the motion. Sheffield points up the weak position of America and continually stresses the growing commercial importance and potential of the West Indies and Canada (especially Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, particularly with regard to fisheries, lumber, and ship-building). There are a total of 16 tables on 29 leaves and folding sheets. Gagnon I 3295. Goldsmiths' 12623. Howes H-616. Kress B.784. Sabin 32633. TPL 577. cfJCB 2999. cfLande 784. Signed by Author(s).
