What Our Customers Say...

Description

A very scarce work, unbound but internally firmly bound and intact.

Stamp of 'The New York Public Library' and ink inscriptions to the first page.

In this very scarce pamphlet, James Harvey argues for the use of State paper money over the use of gold coins. He uses the example of the Governor of Guernsey Daniel Le Brock who, in order to build a market, issued 4000 market notes for one pound each. He argues that a similar concept could be used to resolve financial difficulties in Britain.

Condition

Tissue repairs to the first page and last page, securing the closed tear to the last page. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean. Marks to the first page.
