1937 City Planning & Prospective Business Portfolio for Nashville TN

1937rif. 2527Nashville TN: The Chamber of Commerce Nashville TN 1937. First Edition First Printing. Original wraps. Good . 9 X 11 1/4 Inches. 62 PP Folding Map. Original February 5 1937 Portfolio created by the Nashville Chamber of Commerce. A fairly incredible "time-capsule" glance and 20th Century Nashville in the making. This unique book was created specifically for the purpose of garnering the business of the Norvell & Wallace Lumber factory. We assume that other similar copies were created on an individual basis when the city saw fit to "scout" major companies for the area. We have located "0" copies on OCLC and "0" auction records. The summary states "The principal advantages Nashville offers to industry and other lines of business is summarized from this survey." The index includes: agricultural resources altitude area assessed valuation building and construction city government civic and social data building permits churches civic-fraternal and welfare organizations education golf courses hospitals and medical facilities hotels newspapers office buildings parks and playgrounds Parthenon postal receipts public buildings radio stations streets theatres Tennessee State Fair climate financial instituions living conditions location manufacturing attitude toward new industries industrial development in Nashville Labor costs Labor relations Labor Laws and Regulations Labor Supply Workmen's Compensation Law markets mineral resources population public utilities state and local taxes transportation facilities airlines express freight local passenger service interurban service motor truck railroads river transportation vital statistics wholesale and retail establishments. A few of the stats that immediately jumped out at me - 1 The report predates any television station in Nashville 2 When polling races in the city the report denotes 111025 white citizens 42836 negro citizens and 5 of "other" races 3 only two airlines American and Eastern service the city and the municipal airport was dedicated only a few months before this report. 21 tables and graphs including rail distance and hours by train to other US cities flying hours from Nashville power rates gainful workers condition of the banks of Nashville and more.

(CANTILLON, R.)Livre Rare Book

Essai sur la Nature du Commerce en général. Traduit de l'anglois.

rif. 24854A Londres, Chez Fletcher Gyles, dans Holborn, 1755. (4), 430, (6, Table des Chapitres) pp. 12mo. Contemporary half calf, spine gilt in compartments, gilt lettering, floral ornament in each compartment, green paper covered boards, all edges red. Kress 5423; Goldsmiths 8989; Einaudi 846; INED 933; Higgs 938; En Français dans le Texte, 159; Leblanc 57; Antoin E. Murphy, Richard Cantillon: entrepreneur and economist; T. Hutcheson, Before Adam Smith, pp. 163-178. First edition of Cantillon's great work, 'the most systematic statement of economic principles before Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations' (Roll, p. 121). 'The economic repute of Cantillon, for a time completely obscured by the glory of Adam Smith, can never have rested upon the popularity of his little book, now one of the scarcest works in economic literature .. The influence of the book is evidenced not only by the number but by the distinction of its students, including Gournay, Quesnay, Mirabeau, Turgot, and Adam Smith. It gave birth to Mirabeau's l'Ami des Hommes and apparently suggested much of the Tableau Oeconomique of Quesnay and parts of the Wealth of Nations .. Cantillon avoided, as Jevons has pointed out, the one-sidedness of the Physiocrats; and yet has been marked out as a Physiocrat .. Jevons thought Cantillon wrote 'with the scientific precision of a Cairnes or a Cournot,' and Prof. Marshall refers to his 'thoroughly scientific manner of discussion' .. In France the Essai has been pretty continuously read (see e.g. Ganilh, Des Systèmes d'Economie Politique, 2d. ed. 1821), and so stimulating and suggestive does it remain that its direct influence may be found to be not yet exhausted' (Palgrave, i, pp. 214f). Roll has called this work 'the most systematic statement of economic principles, before the Wealth of Nations' (History of Economic Thought, p. 121).Cantillon, a French banker of Irish extraction, was influenced by Petty, but his own influence was principally felt by the Physiocrat school: Higgs maintains that Quesnay took his fundamental principle of Physiocracy from the Essai. The Essai was written about 1730 and circulated in manuscript. Cantillon died in 1734 and the work was first published in 1755 in French, not in English, as stated on the title.The Essai has been quoted by Smith, Condillac, and Quesnay, plagiarised by Harris and Postlethwayt, and called by Jevons 'more emphatically than any other single work the cradle of political economy'. The work is divided into three sections: a general introduction to political economy, a treatise on currency, and a study of foreign commerce and exchange.'Since the 'discovery' of Cantillon by the English-speaking world following Jevons's enthusiastic article (1881), no less than justice has been done to the merits of the Essay .. Jevons himself noted that Cantillon had presented a treatment of currency, foreign exchanges, banking and credit which, judged against the work of its period, he felt to be 'almost beyond praise' .. It was likewise recognized as early as Jevons that Cantillon had set out the leading ideas of Adam Smith's 'important doctrine concerning wages in different employments' .. and that the Essay contained .. 'an almost complete anticipation of the Malthusian theory of population' (The New Palgrave, i, p. 318). - A very good copy.
