Première édition française, l'édition anglaise ayant paru un an plus tôt, traduite par de Serres de la Tour avec des notes de Mallet du Pan. Le Traité commercial appelé ‘'Traité d'Eden'', signé entre la Grande-Bretagne et la France en 1786, du nom du négociateur britannique William Eden, premier Baron Auckland (1744-1814) a mis fin, pour une brève période, à la guerre économique entre la France et les Britanniques et mis en place un système de réduction des droits de douane sur les marchandises de l'un ou de l'autre pays. La sécession des treize colonies américaines et la publication de la Richesse des nations d'Adam Smith ont stimulé la Grande-Bretagne. Le Premier ministre britannique William Pitt le Jeune fortement influencé par les idées de Smith et a été l'un des principaux agents moteur du traité. L'obstination dans les négociations des Britanniques mit l'accord commercial presque entièrement à leur profit, et l'inégalité de protection de certaines industries finit par nuire à l'économie française. Ce traité est souvent considéré comme l'un des griefs des Français ayant déclenché la Révolution française. Rare.
