About this Item

First edition of the sixth volume in Reichsgraf von Soden's Nazional-Ökonomie (9 vols, Leipzig, Aarau and Nuremberg, 1805 24). This volume is concerned with economic legislation. The fifth volume had been about finance (Leipzig, 1811), and the seventh would go on to deal with policing (Aarau, 1818), the eighth with education (Aarau, 1824) and the ninth with state administration (Nuremberg 1824). 'Inspired by Adam Smith's ideas about production and distribution of the wealth of nations, Soden conceptualized his voluminous work Nazional-Ökonomie into a German version of Smith's political economy. Soden and Ludwig Heinrich von Jakob, professor of cameralism at the University of Halle, claimed to be the first to create the term 'Nationalökonomie' for the new science, 'which worked out the principles of all public institutions and measures' and which was based on laws similar to the laws of nature' (Dictionary of Eighteenth-Century German Philosophers). PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 8vo,iv, 376, [1] pp., contemporary half calf over marbled boards, lightly rubbed, spine ruled gilt with red label, edges green, fresh and unspotted, without stamps or inscriptions, a fine copy.
