Very good; spine label partially abraded. 8vo xvi 1 - 232 pp. Statesman statistician and economist the author had an eminent career in public policy making and teaching. He was for a time the principal advisor to Hardenberg and present at Paris for the peace conference in 1813 as well as the Congress of Vienna. He was also responsible for the complete overhaul and modernization of the Prussian satistical bureau beginning in 1810. He was the author of several books on statistics as well as economics and law.
