Mémoires, ou Oeconomies royales d'Etat, domestiques, politiques & militaires de Henri le Grand.
A Amsterdam, aux dépens de la Compagnie, 1725. Titles printed in red and black, sphere on title. 12 volumes. 12mo. Contemporary polished calf, spines gilt with raised bands, labels with gilt lettering, some spines slightly worn at top or foot, red sprinkled edges. Cf.: INED 4259; this edition not in Kress; not in Goldsmiths. Sully's influence was widespread; he encouraged agriculture, urged free circulation of produce, promoted stock raising, planned a system of canals and forbade the destruction of the forests. He strengthened the French military establishment, promoting the construction of great lines of defences on the frontiers. He represented Henry at the Court of King James I, arranged Henry's marriage to Marie De Medicis, and helped to put down several revolts by the nobility. Sully's political power and influence ended with assassination of Henry IV in 1620. While he was unpopular with his colleagues, he nonetheless exhibited a gifted executive ability throughout his career as well as an unbending loyalty to the King. Sully was largely responsible for the transformation in France between 1598-1610, when agriculture and commerce improved, and foreign peace and internal order were maintained. These memoirs are very valuable for the history of the time, as an autobiography of Sully and as a record of his remarkable career.Schumpeter: 'Maximilien de Béthune, created Duke de Sully by Henry IV, the latter's minister of finance, was a much greater, and especially stronger man than was the most famous of his successors, Colbert. He reformed the fiscal system of France most succesfully and saw much beyond the range of what he actually accomplished. Moreover, he knew - which is the criterion of greatness in a fiscal administrator - how to make fiscal policy an element and tool of general economic policy.' - Handwritten old name and date in blank portion of title.

Scarce first edition of Teten's work on the ""Widow Pension Fund"" (Wittwen-Casse), a pension- and insurance institution for which he was director. His work ""Einleitung zur Berechnung der Leibrenten und Anwartschaften, published in Leipzig in 1785 a.1786 was a landmark of actuarial science. It is recognized by actuaries for featuring the first risk measure ever (the Risico der Casse). In the offered book he applies his skills in actuarial mathematics.After his years as professor in Philosophy at the Kiel University,Tetens begun another career as a high ranking Danish civil servant: member of the Finanzcollegium in Copenhagen, then (1791) counselor of state, and (1803) co-director of the state bank and director of the widow pension funds. By this time, he was interested in pure mathematics as well as in applications. Tetens was professor of Philosophy at the University of Kiel from 1776-89. He was one of the first to discuss David Hume at lenght on the continent (he was called the German Hume). His ""Philosophische Versuche über die menschliche Natur und ihre Entwicklung"", 1777 exerted a tremendous influence on Kant while he was writing the Critique of Pure Reason, and the many similarities between their doctrines are evident. Tetens's doctrines may be compared to Kant's even in their speculative power and importance.Bibl. Danica II:773. The book was first published in Danish (the offered item) and a year later , 1803 in German with the title ""Nachricht von dem Zustande der allgemeinen Wittwen-Casse zu Copenhagen am Schluss des Jahres 1797, mit einigen Bemerkungen über Versicherungs-Anstalten auf Lebens- und Sterbens-Fälle, und die Art sie zu prüffen.""

Forordning angaaende den udi kiøbenhavn oprettede assignations-vexel og Laane=Banqve. Frederichberg den 8de Martii 1937. - [FIRST DANISH BANK]
Kjøbenhavn, Høpffner, 1737 4to. Uncut without wrappers, as issued. Three lines of text to last leaf, otherwise fine. 4 ff.
Rare first publication of the first regulation of “The Kurantbank”, the first independent Danish bank. It was established on 29 October 1736 as a joint-stock company with royal charter, and its official name was The Copenhagen Transfer, Exchange, and Loans Bank. It opened for business on 11 March 1737 and was established to 1) strengthen Danish commerce and manufacturing 2) contribute to the maintaining of the monetary system and, 3) be completely independent from the state. “Since the beginning of the 17th century a number of banks had been set up in several countries of Northern Europe, partly deposit and transfer banks (Amsterdam 1609, Hamburg 1619), partly note-issuing credit banks (London 1694, Edinburgh 1695, and — to some extent — Stockholm 1656). With the exception of the short-lived bank of John Law all of them were founded in republics or non-absolute kingdoms. For more than a century the idea of setting up a bank had, now and then, occupied the minds of Danish governments, but without results. In the 1730'ties the prices of agricultural products, Denmark's chief exports, were extremely low. About 1735 new advisers, especially J. S. Schulin and count Fr. Danneskiold-Samsoe, persuaded the king, Christian VI, to counteract the threatening lack of foreign exchange by encouraging direct trade and home manufactures.In order to attain this a new department of trade and manufactures was formed, with the said ministers as presidents. A severe obstacle to the plans of the department was the lack of capital in the country. In order to provide the trade and manufactures of Copenhagen with cheap loans the department planned to establish a bank, and the king soon took an ardent interest in the project. First mentioned in February plans were realised in the autumn of 1736.” (Rasmussen, Kurantbankens oprettelse).
