Description:
Three volumes. 8vo. Woodcut chapter headings, folding table. Contemporary calf-backed boards, gilt spines; an excellent set. First edition, possibly the first printing, of Necker's famous work on the financial health of France. A very interesting and possibly unique copy, bibliographically. The collation (iv, ciii, [i], 234; [iv], 374, including errata on verso of table of contents (p. iv); [iv], 332, including errata at bottom of final text leaf) differs from every copy we have examined. These volumes were printed from a smaller set of type and thus contains fewer leaves though the text is exactly the same in virtually all other copies of the first edition found. It is also an earlier printing as many of the other copies we looked at have the few errata items corrected.
Necker (1732-1804) was opposed to raising taxes and instituted loans at high interest rates to help with the French debt. At the time of the American revolution, which was very popular with nearly all the French… Read More

Contemporary half-calf and marbled boards; waterstain to pp. 335-368, minor foxing. Second edition, with improvements. Nicholson states that new discoveries have been inserted, "and no exertions have been spared to render it worthy of the distinguished approbation it has met with." According to Neville, a new table has been added listing seven alkalies and earths versus five acids, while the other twelve tables are unchanged from the first edition.This "excellent introductory textbook explains the phlogistic and antiphlogistic theories and represents a transition from the theory as enunciated by Stahl to that of Lavoisier and his circle" (Neville). According to the preface, Nicholson did not completely accept either theory and believed "the antiphlogistic hypothesis equally probable with the modified system of Stahl," and thus explains both in the book.
