Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Fine. Second Printing. The inaugural volume in the series European Economic History. Bound handsomely in lime-green cloth over boards, blue lettering to front cover and spine. Fourteen chapters, three Appendixes, bibliography, ten maps and five figures. From the publisher's blurb, "It was William James who…said that any subject, even science, when studied from the historical point of view, becomes a humane study. Communism and National Socialism, for example, become something quite different when they are viewed as the culmination of a long line of millenary dreams of the dispossessed from the time of Maccabeean Jews down to Thomas Muenzer and the Peasant Revolt during the German Reformation. Lenin if not Stalinmight have had second thoughts about the use of the secret police, if he had not been completely captive of the Marxian view of history as a theory. Either might have acted differently if he had seen that the structure he was rearing was the continuation of the Czarist police, itself the descendent of the Byzantine, which in turn derived from the agentes in rebus of the Emperor Hadrian in the second century A.D. So, too, the study of economic history should tell us something of the direction in which we are moving and should liberate us from the dogmas of the recent past by making clear that, whatever the validity of particular theories of economics, none possesses an absolute value and any number of past experiences may be of value in today's choices. Economics, when looked at from the historical point of view, has a real existential value, for it helps us make decisions by revealing something about what choices are open to us today." Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. xiv [1], 1-288 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.

"New Edition" (original was 1896) green hardcover, gold gilt print on spine, with DJ, 288 pp. Intro by author Post, who has used his famous Mason character (an unscrupulous lawyer who aids criminals and abuses the law) to educate a lar…gely ignorant public about the law in a most entertaining, and often disturbing, way. Just sample "The Corpus Delecti" if you don't believe this. The DJ has crumpling at top 1.5" of the back cover, brown toning & wear on spine and bottom 1.3" of back cover. Front of unclipped DJ is very good. The boards & spine have a light green discoloration (<2") at bottom (dampness?). This does not affect the interior which is fine, tight and unread except for my very small signature & when/where bought at top corner of ffep (8/11/73, Clevelane). William Dixon (illustrator).
