Condition: Very Good. Free franks are hand stamped British parliamentary mail, issued from the 1650s to 1840. The free franking privilege was removed from parliamentarians in 1840 when Rowland Hill's postal reforms brought the postage stamp into use. Free franking had been intended to allow MPs to send letters free of charge, but the system was abused by MPs and fell into disrepute due to being used by friends and business associates of the Members. During the early 19th Century there was a mania for collecting these panels, which was accomplished by cutting the address panel from the envelope. The Free Front here is presented with a neatly prepared A4 data-sheet showing the details of the MP it is connected with. Category: Ephemera; Free Frank Panels.

This book delves into the concept of how to increase the wealth and prosperity of a nation, with a focus on the role that private expenditure plays in this regard.

By directing expenditure towards these areas, not only can individuals increase their own financial well-being, but they can also contribute to the overall growth and development of their country. The author provides numerous examples and case studies to illustrate the principles discussed, drawing on historical and contemporary sources to support their arguments.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good Plus. 1st Edition. Later, but not recent, half straight-grained morocco, recased. Attractively bound. A wide-ranging argument for the use of private capital for the public good, based firmly on the tenets of Adam Smith (often quoted) and the author's observations abroad and in his native Shropshire. "Disposable income" (p. 60) should allow for the improvement by gentlemen of wealth of cottages, roads, and footpaths, as well as for the preservation of game, rural festivals (with music and dancing), public libraries, museums of fine art, educational opportunities for the poor, savings banks, public walks and gardens, and infirmaries. Dedicated areas for sport and exercise, especially for village green cricket, are encouraged. Past practice and regulation has often discouraged such activity; golf (goff) is mentioned twice in this regard. The author supports rational luxury as a way of avoiding the unwelcome effects of income disparity. There are some marginal pencil notes by an earlier reader.
