Bilan général et raisonné de l'Angleterre, depuis 1600 jusqu'à la fin de 1761; ou Lettre à M.L.C.D. sur le produit des terres et du commerce de l'Angleterre. Par M.V.D.M.
No place, 1762. (4), 260 pp. 8vo. Contemporary marbled calf, spine richly gilt, some slight rubbing. INED 4468bis; Goldsmiths 9742; Higgs 2770; Conlon 62:1361; Einaudi 5931 (English translation); not in Kress; one copy in OCLC (University of Wisconsin). Scarce first edition. 'Pamphlet économiste contre le luxe de la Grande-Bretagne. Importante considérations sur le commerce, le revenu territorial, etc' (INED). The object of the Bilan général is to show that the wealth and trade of England were not greater than those of France. With this view the author examines into the balance of trade between England and other countries (including Ireland), the national income and debt, exchanges, imports and exports of bullion, war expenditure, etc. He concludes that England, after having been a gainer by her trade during the 17th century, was in 1761 a loser from the monetary point of view. He supports his argument by statistics from official and the best private estimates, and carefully considers objections. Page 113 contains a reference to Cantillon and his Essai sur la nature du commerce. - Very lightly browned.
