LAW (John). Trade and money considerations. La Haye, Jean Neaulme, 1720. In-12, stiff wove paper, spine ribbed, title in ink, edges speckled with red (contemporary binding). Goldsmiths, number 5820. - Spengler, pp. 57-59. First edition in French of the major treatise by John Law (1671-1729), with an engraved copper portrait of the author. The original English edition was published in 1705. During the Regency (1715-1723), the economic depression allowed Law to apply his theories.... Law believed that the control of money provided a solution both to general economic problems and-as far as he was concerned-to the problem of population. ... Law believed, in general, not only that the power of a state depends, to a large extent, on the size of its population, but also that the size and activity of the population depends on the quality of money in circulation in the realm (Spengler). Facsimile portrait. The following has been linked to the suite: Articles of Indictment of High Treason, Other Grand Crimes, & Malfeasance against Robert Earl of Oxford & Mortimer.... ...] To which were added the Heads of Indictment against Jacques duc d'Ormond and Henri viscount de Bolingbroke. The Hague, Henri Scheurleer, 1715. Work relating to the Jacobite rebellion of 1715 in England. Lining renewed. Restoration at the tail.
