SAY, Jean-Baptiste.

£850 · Offered by Peter Harrington · No longer available

Petit volume contenant quelques apperçus des hommes et de la société. First edition, annotated at the head of the half-title "Donné par l'auteur", of this collection of isolated thoughts by the celebrated French economist, offering valuable insights into his character and the influences of current events on his economic thought. Said to be one of his his favourite pasttimes, no two editions are the same, as Say constantly revised both the selection and the text of the essays.
