First edition. 8vo. xii, 143 pp. Original black cloth, spine lettered in gilt, dust jacket (internally clean without any markings or underlinings; some light wear to edges of jacket, still a very good copy) . London, Faber and Faber. 'The performance of the British economy has deteriorated over the years relative to that of other industrialized countries; and it has suffered for many years from a stop-go cycle. Lord Roll examines certain economic landmarks in the last seventy years and identifies errors of policy which can be linked to this deteriorating performance, tracing them from the return of the Gold Standard in 1925 to the recession of the last few years. He also examines the failure to assess early enough the significance of the movement for European integration and to assume the leadership which Britain could and should have had after World War II. He analyses the consequential errors of policy culminating in our belated entry into the ERM and our ejection from it in 1992' (dust jacket blurb).

First Edition
Green Cloth. Condition: FINE ( NEW ). Dust Jacket Condition: FINE ( NEW). Numerous Charts and One Pullout Photographic Print (illustrator). This is the Facsimile Edition of 1968. The partnership of Matthew Bolton (1728-1809), and James Watt (1736-1819) from the mid-1770s onwards for the purpose of developing Watt's improved steam engine has long been recognized as a vital element in the Industrial Revolution in Britain. John Lord's (Capital and Steam Power. First edition 1923; second edition 1966, Frank Cass) dealt mainly with the firm's part in familiarizing industrialist and businessman with this new form of power. In 1930, Sir Eric Roll's book appeared, in which the emphasis was differently placed. There is much more detail about the way in which Bolton and Watt and their sons, organized and developed the firm internally, secured orders for steam engines, and executed these orders. There are also important chapters dealing with the recruitment and training of the firm's workers, the early provision of the welfare schemes for them, and the great changes after 1795-1796, whereby the firm became one of the largest in Britain. This is a pioneer study in the genesis of modern industrial management. 320 pp including Index A FINE (AS NEW) copy. This book will be POSTED AT OUR STANDARD RATES FULLY INSURED (UK) ONLY .

London, Pall Mall Press. A penetrating study of the legacy of Keynesian economics by the economist, civil servant and banker Eric Roll, Baron Roll of Ipsden (1907-2005). 'Keynes's supreme achievement, Sir Eric Roll believes, was in demonstrating that standards which apply to the conduct of an individual differ from those that apply to the aggregate actions of a large number of individuals, such as the state. This premise - which has become a tenet of modern economic thought - enlarged our understanding of the world economic process' (dust jacket blurb).

The five items are in good condition, on lightly-aged and creased paper. Items One and Two: Typed drafts of a 'Statement of Qualifications', headed 'Lord Chorley's application for appointment to the lectureship in Evidence, Procedure and Criminal Law.' Both 2pp., 4to. Slightly different in layout, and with few (if any) textual differences. After describing his career Chorley writes: 'Although my chief legal study has been commercial law I had experience of teaching Evidence, Procedure and Criminal Law at the Law Society's School. I examined in these subjects for the Council of Legal Education, and have also examined in criminal law for the Cambridge LL.B. and for the Law Society's Honours Examination. Penal Problems have for a number of years occupied my attention, and I am Chairman fo the Council of the Institute for the Study and Treatment of Delinquency and a Vice Chairman of the Howard League.' He descibes his 'other interests of a public character'. The document concludes 'If appointed I shall do my best not only to instill into my pupils a sound and broad grasp of legal principles and rules, but also some knowledge of the traditions and principles of the English bar, as far as this may be done in lectures of a general character.' Item Three: Autograph Letter of Recommendation Signed ('Wright') from Lord Wright. On letterhead of the Oxford & Cambridge University Club, Pall Mall; 2 July 1952. 2pp., 4to. 34 lines. He begins: 'I am happy to be allowed to support Lord Chorley's application for the post in the Inns of Court School of Law left vacant by the much regretted death of Sir Roland Burrows.' He has had 'opportunities of appreciating Lord Chorley's qualities & his experience in the Law & his forensic outfit [sic, for 'outlook'] almost from the date of his call', and praises his 'learning and breadth of view'. Wright 'had the honour to take the chair of his inaugural lecture on the Conflict of Law & Commerce, when he entered on a successful career as Cassel Professor of Commercial & Industrial Law in the University of London in 1930'. He continues to press Chorley's claims to the post, before concluding: 'I am confident that Lord Chorley will be a most inspiring & instructive teacher & would add further strength to the already distinguished staff of the school.' Item Four: Typed transcript of Item Three. 1p., 4to. Item Five: Typed copy of letter of recommendation from A. M. Carr-Saunders. 2 July 1952. He begins by describing Chorley's career, with the comment that he gave up 'the prospect of a successful career at the Bar because of his deep interest in teaching'. He concludes by describing Chorley's 'most successful' tenure, from 1930 to 1944, of the Sir Ernest Cassel Chair of Commerical and Industrial Law.' Chorley's 'politcal appointment' has been a considerable loss to the academic profession, 'and it would be greatly to the benefit of that profession if he resumed his place as a teacher of law'.

While he is 'still nervous about passing the matriculation examination at Balliol', Charles has decided to 'rely upon the opinions of Messrs. Whitelaw & [Edgeworth?] & to relinquish his proposed stay at a private tutor's' The son did indeed matriculate to Balliol.

Manuscript / Paper Collectible
Five items, in good condition, lightly aged and worn. Webster's four letters total 6pp., 12mo. The first letter (13 April) follows on from one of Harington's, forwarded to Webster by 'Digby', regarding the possibility of inserting in a parliamentary bill 'a provision that the State shall pay the costs of assigning Counsel for the defence of all prisoners [] The experience of the last 10 years under the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1885 and of other Acts for a much longer period does not support the view that prisoners are in any greater danger if they are allowed to give evidence than if they were not'. In the second letter (22 April) he discusses his aims, and seeks to reassure him that 'it is not the least my intention to accept the views of those whom you call "the big wigs" only. I very much desire to have the opinions of all those who have practical experience. If the House should think fit to insert any limitation in the Bill I should not object but I am bound to say that the overwhelming mass of testimony which I receive points in the other direction. I do not think it would be possible to exclude Quarter Sessions but I am now considering whether it is desirable to limit the Bill to the trial of indictable offences'. The third letter (24 April) invites Harington to call, and fourth (28 April) proposes arrangements for the meeting. Also present is an Autograph Draft of a letter to Webster, initialed and dated from Whitbourne Court, Worcester, 14 April 1897. 2pp., 12mo. With deletions and emendations. He read Item One above with regret, and discusses 'the merits of the question', with reference to 'big wigs' and 'bob wigs', Digby, the 'C. L. A. Act', and the Society of Chairmen of Quarter Sessions. From the Harington family papers.
