Livre Rare Book

TARIF complet des droits et restitutions des douanes, sur l'importation, exportation et gabotage dans le royaume d'Angleterre, suivie des tables exactes des droits, restitutions, gratifications, primes & permissions d'accises, avec les additions des sessions actuelles. Traduit de l'Anglais, & revue par M. Laugier, interprête juré de la langue anglaise de la ville de Marseille.

ref. 16051A Marseille, Chez Pierre-Ant. Favet, 1788. (8), 105, (1) pp. Oblong 4to. Sewn in blind covers, small damage to spine. Not in Kress; not in Goldsmiths; not in Einaudi; Conlon 88:2248 (stating that the original English work is unknown). Very scarce first edition. The 'Epitre Dédicatoire' reads 'De l'Éditeur Anglais à M. Richard Frewin, Ecuyer, un des Officiers des Douanes de Sa Majesté.' Furthermore the text states that this Mr. Frewin has produced the tables, that Mr. Frewin wants to remain in the background but that he must be seen as the principal author of the work. If there ever was an English original is unknown: no English version of this work exists. However, it may be that this is a French version of the item listed under Goldsmiths 12314: "The rates of merchandize, as settled by the Acts of 12 Car. II. Cap.4, II Geo I, cap 7 . With the duties and drawbacks ." published in 1782 and of which Richard Frewin was one of the compilers. This is a nicely printed list of import and export rates, a very detailed listing in alphabetical order by product and country or source of origin, with the rates given in both English and French currency. Includes rates on paper (writing paper, copper plate paper, printing paper, whited brown, brown paper, etc.) giving various sorts of paper (Impérial; Sur-Royal, Cartouche, Bleu Royal, Lumber-main, etc.) and the dimensions of paper. - With library-stamps on front cover and a few pages: Archives. Chambre de Commerce de Marseille. Bibl. C.C.M. Échange 1934.

(DECKER, M.)Livre Rare Book

Essai sur les causes du déclin du commerce étranger de la Grande Bretagne.

ref. 16035No place, 1757. 2 volumes. (2), 302 pp.; (2), 392 pp. 12mo. Contemporary marbled calf, spines gilt in compartments, red labels with gilt lettering, marbled edges, small loss of calf to front cover of volume 2, very lightly rubbed. McCulloch 46; Kress 5600; Goldsmiths 9242; Higgs 1465; not in Einaudi; Conlon 57:669; not in Mattioli. First French edition, first published in 1744. The French translator, J.P. de Gua de Malves, added extensive comments and therefore this French version is sought after. Sir Matthew Decker, director of the East India Company, merchant and pamphleteer, was born in Amsterdam. In the present work he urges the replacement of all customs and excise duties by a single tax on the consumption of luxury goods - a kind of income tax with the merits, as it was conceived in the eighteenth century, that the taxpayer voluntarily assesses himself by choosing to consume such articles and to such an extent as he wishes. Decker argues strongly against restrictions on trade, emphasizing the significance of industry and trade to the welfare of the country. He would exempt the houses inhabited by the poor from all duties - not on grounds of social sympathy but because it would necessarily lower their wages and consequently increase the competitive strength of British exports; he advocates the luxury tax because it would check luxury, the bane of virtue and industry. He was opposed to monopolies and bounties and was skeptical as to whether trade can ultimately be forced into 'an unnatural channel,' thus anticipating the discussion on the operation of natural laws in the economic world. In some respects he is considered an important precursor of Adam Smith. 'The first part of the work is devoted to a detailed criticism of the fiscal difficulties under which England is labouring; the second part to showing the intricate connection between the trade of a country and the value of the land; while in the third part Decker displays the great sources of wealth and prosperity possessed by England (and over her two chief rivals, France and Holland), and shows how the references he suggests would permit her to avail herself of these, her natural strength' (Palgrave, i, p. 519).
