First (only) French editon. An
exposition of the operations of the
Banco Nacional de San Carlos, precursor of present-day's
Bank of Spain. The bank was founded in June 1782, with private capital but with a royal
charter, by François Cabarrus (1751-1810), a French financier who spent most of his life in Spain,
his last years as Joseph Bonaparte's minister of finance. The high profits of the bank attracted enormous
speculation in its shares, particularly among French financiers. The present volume is an answer to a
pamphlet published in 1785 by the famous Mirabeau in which he vehemently attacked this stock jobbing
(
De la banque de l'Espagne, dite de Saint-Charles).
The (anonymous) translator has added a preface (p.V-XXXII) in which he sketches the circumstances under
which the bank was established and its advantages for both the government, especially the treasury (!), and
for the shareholders. For an unknown reason published in Holland, no other editions of a French translation
seem to exist. Rare. *Goldsmiths' 13213. Einaudi 278. Not in Kress. CCFr locates a single copy only. No

A complete set of the important reports of the
Gold and Silver Commission.
The Commission, presided by Lord Herschell, was instructed to investigate the causes of the relative
changes in the value of precious metals, the 'evils or inconveniences' to British and Indian trade caused by
these changes, and the possible remedies 'within the power of the Legislature or the Government'. The
Commission took evidence from several of the leading economists of the day, including Sir Robert Giffen,
H.R.Grenfell, J.S.Nicholson, R.H.I.Palgrave and Alfred Marshall.
Marshall's evidence occupies p.1-33 and p.38-47 of the Appendix to the final report, followed (p.47-53) by
a
Memorandum as to the effects which differences between the currencies of different nations have on
international trade. 'The importance of this Memorandum lies in the fact that it contains a clear
enunciation of the 'purchasings-power parity' theory of the exchanges between countries having mutually
inconvertible currencies' (J.M.Keynes). 'His evidence before Royal Commissions in 1887 and 1899 showed
an impressive mastery of monetary analysis, both domestic and international, and was minutely examined by
successive generations of Cambridge students, serving for many years virtually as a text book'
(J.K.Whitaker). *Keynes (

First (only?) edition. An interesting
work of which the greater part is dedicated to Russian foreign trade. The last chapter deals with the
discovery of Alaska and the map of part of Bering Sea is related to that chapter. Other chapters treat the
trade through the Caspian, Black, White and Baltic Seas, the French trade to Russia, and exchanges and
money.
There is also an important statistical part on the 'general state of merchandises and productions exported
from Russia during the years 1767, 1768 and 1769'. Though this chapter takes 70 pages it is not mentioned
in the table of contents! The work was also attributed to F.Barbé-Marbois, but most bibliographers

Rare complete set with the usually lacking fifth volume. A huge collection of

inspired by Saint-Simonian ideas. Their 'complete works' were planned on 28 volumes, of which twelve

The here present fifth volume was never brought into the trade, though apparently at least some copies of
the text were printed, though without wrappers and preliminary and final leaves. This volume includes
documents for the years 1851 and 1852. *Walch 419.
