[Child {c. 1630/31 - 1699) was an English merchant and politician. He was an economist proponent of mercantilism and governor of the East India Company. He purchased Wanstead Manor in Essex in 1673 from the executors of Sir Robert Brooke and spent much money on laying out the grounds of the manor house, Wanstead Hall. John Evelyn described him as "sordidly avaricious" !! Child's advocacy, both by speech and by pen, of the East India Company's claims to political power, as well as to its right of restricting competition to its trade, brought him to the notice of the shareholders. He was appointed a Director in 1677, rising to Deputy-Governor and finally became Governor of the East India Company in 1681. In this latter capacity he directed the Company's policy as if it were his own private business. He was a moderate in those days of the mercantile system, and has sometimes been regarded as a sort of pioneer in the development of the free-trade doctrines of the 18th century. Though Child considered himself a proponent of the competitive market, he simultaneously argued for a government-controlled interest rate and restricted trade among the colonies which would benefit England.].…

Second edition, the first to name Child, of his major work of economic theory, an enduringly influential work of pre-Smithian economics. This copy was taken on a merchant's sea crossing to New London, Connecticut, in the 1740s. Sir Josiah Child (c. 1631-1699) built a fortune as a food merchant, served as governor of the East India Company, and sat on a parliamentary trade committee from 1668 to 1672. He was "another of the truly remarkable individuals populating the early history of financial economics" (Poitras, p. 322). The publication of this edition coincided with a parliamentary effort to lower national interest rates, among Child's most forcefully made arguments in the Discourse. The work was first published in 1690, although Child wrote it immediately after the Fire of London. This second edition omits the original publisher's 20-page preface; the sheets are otherwise reissued. The first chapter, the 37-page A Discourse Concerning Trade, &c., was previously published as the standalone Brief Observations Concerning Trade and Interest of Money in 1668. This copy belonged to William Donaldson, a Scottish merchant who moved from St Andrews to New Jersey in the early 1730s. Donaldson's 1738 ownership inscription is on the imprimatur leaf (recto), while a contemporary "SRBM St. Andrews" inscription is on the rear free endpaper. As a merchant, Josiah Child traded extensively with the American colonies, while the Discourse outlines a mercantilist analysis of Anglo-American trade. A poem on the imprimatur leaf (verso) was written, according to an accompanying note, at "Oyster Ponds" (an area on the opposite side of Long Island Sound) while "waiting for a passage to New London" in October 1748.

Three editions of a very rare tract to induce settlement in Newfoundland by one who journeyed to and from the island for many years. . Lande 895. Whitbourne first saw Newfoundland about 1580 and was present when Sir Humphrey Gilbert claimed it for Queen Elizabeth a few years later. He travelled there frequently in after years. In 1615 he arrived with a commission to hold courts of vice-admiralty; this was the first attempt to institute legal process in the country and is described here. He give details on the island, urges its settlement, and discusses offenses committed by the seasonal fisherman. The book was reprinted twice and was the first major source in English on the subject. It pleased James I, to whom it was dedicated, and was undoubtedly influential in winning Sir Richard his knighthood. It is also well-known for the final paragraph describing the sighting of a "Mermaide" at St. John's in 1610.

Whitbourne, sailor and merchant and, later, colonizer and governor of Newfoundland, made many voyages to and from the island, beginning in 1579. By 1618 he had become governor of the first settlers sent out by William Vaughan, the original land speculator in Newfoundland, and remained there until 1620. "Whitbourne's works are a unique contribution to the early literature on Newfoundland. Their purpose was always to stimulate interest in the island and, particularly, to promote its settlement as profitable both to the individual and to the nation. But their uniqueness lies not in their purpose but in their content; For his contemporaries he provided a wealth of detail on the geography, climate, and resources of the island, besides practical advice on settlement and the fishery ." (DCB I, pp. 668-669). "A volume of great rarity, having for Newfoundland the same importance as the works of Champlain for New F rance" -(trans. from Gagnon).

Second edition, second issue: first published in 1690 as A Discourse about Trade (developed from a thin pamphlet of 1668), ESTC describes this as a reissue, with a cancel title page, of the second edition (renamed A New Discourse of Trade) of 1693. It includes Sir Thomas Culpeper's A Small Treatise against Usury (pp. 217-36). "In 1690 [Child (c.1631-1699), economic writer and merchant] published under his own name the comprehensive Discourse about Trade, which included his Proposals for the Relief and Employment of the Poor, which had appeared earlier as an undated pamphlet. This work was reprinted in 1693 under the title A New Discourse on Trade to coincide with a new attempt in parliament to reduce the legal maximum rate of interest. Child acquired considerable fame as an economic writer in his own day and was both widely read and frequently quoted. His works were reprinted continuously during the eighteenth century and published in French in 1754. He exerted influence because of his fluent and persuasive pen, his debating skills, and his obvious success in and experience of business" (ODNB). As Geoffrey Poitras notes "Child is another of the truly remarkable individuals populating the early history of financial economics. Child has some status as a noteworthy, pre-Smithian economist. His status as Governor of the East India Company was matched by his stock trading acumen" (The Early History of Financial Economics, 1478-1776, 2000, 322).
