Original plain boards, uncut. Une comparaison statistique détaillée entre les importations et les exportations de la Grande-Bretagne et des États-Unis entre 1700 et 1783. Holroyd a continuellement révisé et élargi son texte à travers un certain nombre d'éditions anglaises. Il mentionne l'importance croissante du commerce avec les Antilles et le Canada, notamment Terre-Neuve et la Nouvelle-Écosse, leurs pêcheries, leur bois d'uvre et leur construction navale. Les tableaux comparent les exportations et importations du commerce entre les États-Unis et d'autres pays. Cette première traduction de l'anglais fut de Rumare, magistrat de Rouen. La traduction ultérieure de Mirabeau ne comprenait pas les tableaux statistiques. Sabin 32638 mentionne une édition de Londres et une édition de Rouen de 237 p. Howes (Hartley) H604 note que l'ouvrage « a souligné avec mépris la position impuissante du commerce américain et a ainsi influencé l'élaboration de la politique commerciale de l'Angleterre de 1783 à 1789, si préjudiciable au commerce et aux intérêts maritimes américains qu'elle a grandement contribué à la formation d'un L'Union fédérale est mieux à même que les États fédérés séparés de riposter contre la puissance maritime britannique.

Original plain boards, uncut. First French edition. A detailed statistical comparison between the imports and exports of Great Britain and the United States between 1700 to 1783. Holroyd continually revised and enlarged his text through a number of English editions. He mentions the growing importance of trade with the West Indies and Canada, especially Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, their fisheries, lumber, and shipbuilding. The tables compare the export and import of trade between the United States and other countries. This first translation from the English was by de Rumare, a magistrate of Rouen. Mirabeau's later translation did not include the statistical tables. Sabin 32638 mentions a London and a Rouen edition of 237 p. Howes (Hartley) H604 notes the work "Pointed out superciliously the helpless position of American commerce, and thus influenced the shaping of England's trade policy from 1783 to 1789, so detrimental to American commerce and shipping interests as to contribute greatly to the formation of a Federal union, better able, than were the separate federated states, to retaliate against British maritime might."

First edition, 8vo, iv, [3]-60 pp., stitched as issued, uncut and unopened, small stain on inner blank margin of title, a nice copy. In this work the author strongly condemns the present management of the poor as a disgrace to the policy and political economy of the poor. He alleged that the heavy burden of the poor rate had so ruined small tradesmen as to have added to, rather than reduced the existing number of paupers. He advocated the abandonment of the whole system; the separation and classification of paupers, the education of pauper children, and their separation from criminal parents. He suggested the application of the unemployed to agricultural work. Holroyd, an intimate friend of Gibbon, wrote numerous pamphlets on economic subjects, including commerce, manufacturers, slavery and the Corn Laws. His estate at Sheffield Place, in Sussex, was regarded as a model of farming. Kress, C170; Goldsmith, 22206; Einaudi, 2916; Black, 3097.…
