STEUART, JAMES SIR. AN INQUIRY INTO THE PRINCIPLES OF POLITICAL ECONOMY. BEING AN ESSAY ON THE SCIENCE OF DOMESTIC POLICY IN FREE NATIONS. Basil: Tourneisen, 1796. Five volumes, full embossed leather with yap “Ships” bindings. A very good set including the folding “Table of Coins”. With the bookplate of Benjamin Lincoln Lear. Although eclipsed by the work of Adam Smith a decade after the first edition of this work, Steuart’s influence was prominent on the continent and had a major impact on the thinking of Alexander Hamilton. A mercantile protectionist, Steuart’s theories were closely examined and analyzed by both Marx and Engels. See Kress 6498. This work is cited on the list of “Catalogue of Books received from Washington” found in this estate and sold as Lot 2135. WITH THE BOOKPLATE OF BENJAMIN LINCOLN LEAR TO EACH VOLUME. These books were previously owned by Benjamin’s father, Tobias Lear, and these beautiful Morocco bindings were probably commissioned in Spain and done at the time Lear was Consulate for Algiers during the Barbary Wars. CONDITION: Very good. 9-97987 (1,250-1,750)

Auction: Fine Art, Antiques & Asian - Winter 2010
