About this Item
Description:
13,[1],513pp. including five (of six) folding tables. Contemporary calf, leather label. Calf scuffed, spine ends worn. Former owner's bookplate on front pastedown. Text tanned and foxed. A fair copy, lacking one folding table. An important document by this early American economist and Treasury official. This is certainly the most comprehensive and accurate collection of data on the American economy made in the 18th century, detailing Coxe's investigations into every branch of American trade and industry. Coxe was a delegate to the Continental Congress and supporter of the U.S. Constitution who later became a Federalist, lending his considerable knowledge and expertise to Alexander Hamilton during the production of his famous Report on Manufactures. This copy lacks the folding table at p.425, but includes a second copy of the "State of Pennsylvania" table. HOWES C833. KRESS 2683. SABIN 17307. EVANS 26829. REESE, FEDERAL HUNDRED 46.
