Paris, Guillaumin, 1839. 8vo. In contemporary half calf with gilt lettering and ornamentation to spine. With author's presentation inscription to half title: ""de la part d. l'auteur / á son ami M. Philip Taylor / H. S."" (i.e. English: ""From the author to his friend Mr. Philip Taylor, H. S. (i.e. Horace Say)). A few scratches to spine and internally with light occassional brownspotting, but overall a nice and clean copy. 333, (3) + 5 plates of which 2 are folded.
Uncommon first edition – with author’s presentation inscription to English industrialist Philip Taylor - of Say’s seminal work in which he analyzes Brazil not just descriptively but analytically, treating it as a case study for how free trade, open markets and liberal institutions can foster economic development and growtH. This embodies the classical liberal belief in progress through commerce - linking Enlightenment ideals to the economic realities of the 19th century. In the present work Say reflects and extends the liberal economic philosophy of his father famous Jean-Baptiste Say, celebrated for ""Say’s Law"" and his advocacy of free markets. While Jean-Baptiste laid the theoretical foundation for classical economics in France, his son Horace applied these ideas to real-world contexts - analyzing Brazil as a proving ground for liberal trade principles. The work bridges theory and practice showing how the younger Say carried forward and globalized his father’s economic legacy. Say identifies Brazil as a model for future French colonial economics - not in terms of conquest but through integration into global trade networks. This early liberal vision contrasts sharply with later exploitative imperial models and shows how economists like Say envisioned colonialism as an economic partnership shaped by industrial and technological exchange. He anticipates the country's economic take-off and presents it as a promising model for France’s emerging colonial ambitions, especially in the tropics. The book is deeply informed by the liberal economic thought of the time and offers a fine insight into the global economic thinking of 19th-century France. The present copy was given by Say to Philip Taylor (1786–1870), an English industrialist and engineer. He was a pivotal figure in Franco-British industrial exchange during the 19th century. A Protestant like Say, Taylor settled in Marseille, where he played a crucial role in advancing industrial technologies, especially in the sugar refining sector. His connection with the Say family was not only personal but also professional - he collaborated closely with Horace Say’s uncle, founder of the Say sugar refinery (later Béghin-Say), to introduce British-designed machinery into French industry. The friendship between Say and Taylor reflects a broader internatioanl network of liberal thinkers, industrialists and reformers who were shaping the global economy during the first half of the 19th century. This dedication documents a personal and ideological alliance at the heart of early industrial globalization linking two pivotal figures at the intersection of theory and industry.

First edition of Scaccia excleedingly influential and popular work on commercial and exchange law, being one of the very first modern treatises on banking and economic theory to represent the new liberal ideas from the period. From the time of Scaccia's Tractatus Commerciis exchange transactions were an important topic in this literature (Rogers, The civilians and the law of bills in the seventeenth century). The work was reprinted 7 times up until 1738. Scaccia did not conceal his liberal attitude concerning loans and other credit transactions. His standard work [the present] on commercial and exchange law received ecclesiastical approval.""He rejected the views of Du Moulin on usury and followed the traditional precepts of canon law. Yet he moderated the theory on the illegality of interest by adapting it to the business practices and economic ideas of his time. Even when there was no 'mora', or delay in repayment of a loan, he wrote, it may be licit to charge interest from the first day of the loan, if the creditor would suffer a loss because of 'damnum emergens' or 'lucrum cessans'. He referred to exchange dealing as an inextricable labyrinth designed to evade the usury laws"" (Houkes). He justified profit in exchanges from place to place because of differences in value and price: ""The fact that, by reason of the greater scarcity or abundance of money in different places, a larger or smaller sum may be given or accepted appears in the transactions commonly effected between Italy and France. For when money is scarce in France on account of the civil wars there, and plentiful in Italy, whoever delivers money in France for repayment in Italy will receive more than he gave. On the other hand, a merchant who delivers money in Italy for repayment in France will receive less. Yet this is no usury, for one sum is equal to the other, on account of the relative abundance and scarcity of money"".Houkes p. 361-2Kress 369Einaudi 5141Ciasca, 172Mattioli 3249 (The 1669-edition)
