First edition; 2 vols; 4to (30.5 x 24 cm); 2 tables (vol. I folding), errata to verso preface vol. I & last f. to end vol. II, final f. of text in vol. I slightly creased, occasional light spotting; contemporary mottled calf, single gilt rules, gilt spine in 6 compartments, contrasting red morocco lettering-pieces, spine caps slightly chipped, small split to upper joints, corners a little bumped, slightly rubbed, very good; xv, [13], 639, [1]; [16], 646, [14]pp. The first systematic survey of economic policy in English. The first edition of Sir James Steuart's Inquiry into the Principles of Political Oeconomy, an important precursor to Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations, which represented the culmination of the mercantilist thought that had dominated European economic thinking throughout the early modern period. 'Steuart's aim was to produce a great conceptual system, linking the most interesting branches of theory and policy, such as "population, agriculture, trade, industry, money, coin, interest, circulation, banks, exchange, public credit and taxes"' (ODNB). The work was well-received, and Steuart's historical approach found later influence in the writings of Hegel and Karl Marx. 'The first English work which had any pretensions to be considered as a systematic or complete view of the subject' (J.R. McCulloch). ESTC N797; Sabin 91387; Goldsmiths 10276; Kress 6498.

Provenances: illegible inscription to free endpapers; from a private German collection of economics works. A near fine, wide-margined set, which is accompanied by a bibliography (in German) of this particular work. ---- FIRST EDITION of the most complete and systematic survey of economics from the point of view of moderate mercantilism which can be considered a culmination of economic thought before Adam Smith. "In the Principles, Steuart made notable contributions to economic theory: the historical analysis of the origins of the exchange economy, where he (like Adam Smith) was influenced by David Hume; to the theory of economic development with its emphasis on the importance of interdependent sectors; to the theory of competitive price, and, most notably, to the treatment of money and banking" (ODNB). "Steuart had the misfortune to be followed by Adam Smith in less than a decade. Otherwise [his Inquiry] would probably have served as the standard English economic text" (Carpenter). Its later influence "proved to be most considerable on the continent. During the 1770s the text was translated into German (twice), and into French in 1789. One authority has noted that "until the final decade of the eighteenth century, Sir James Steuart's Inquiry was better known and more frequently cited than Smith's Wealth of Nations" (Tribe, p. 133).

The rear endpapers of each volume with some fraying. Overall a very good copy. The previous owner's note on the front free endpaper of volume I reads "The Inquiry of Sir James Steuart is learned and profound; but it is clogged with prejudices, and obscured [the "d" is almost invisible] by a stile [sic] uncouth and almost unintelligible; it has therefore been of more utility to author's [sic] than to the Public - Adam Smith, with inferior Powers + less information, but with more art [?] of management, and greater perspicacity [?] of Language, has attracted more attention and been of greater service in stimulating political inquiries." "The book has been variously appraised; popular for a few years, it was completely overshadowed after 1776 by Smith's Wealth of Nations but was rediscovered in the nineteenth century by German scholars, who even hailed Steuart as the real founder of economic science. This claim is not wholly invalid. He was the first to set out with some pretense at system the principles of economic policy and to analyze their theoretical basis; and he was also the first writer in English to name his study 'Political Economy', i.e. 'the science of Domestic Policy in free Nations'. Moreover, recognizing the danger of verbal misunderstandings in economic discussions, he set out to elaborate a precise terminology for his science. At many points he made contributions of real interest to economic theorynotably in his discussion of population problems, in his distinction between price and value and his analysis of the component parts of the latter and in his investigation into the 'balance of demand' and labor supply, or 'work', and the nature and function of competition" (Encyclopædia of the Social Sciences). "Sir James Steuart had the misfortune to be followed by Adam Smith in less than a decade. Otherwise, his work would probably have served as the standard English economic text" (Carpenter).
