1747Best.-Nr. 844301747. A Scarce Essay on Insolvency Written When Great Britain was Emerging as a Modern Commercial Power: OCLC Locates 1 Copy in a North American Law Library Courteville Raphael 1675-1772. Arguments Respecting Insolvency. Dedicated to the Rt. Hon. Arthur Onslow Esq; Speaker of the House of Commons. London: Printed for M. Cooper At the Globe in Pater-Noster-Row 1760. vii 1 32 pp. Octavo 7-1/4" x 4"; 18.4 x 10.2 cm. Disbound stab-stitched pamphlet. Moderate toning light soiling to exterior upper outside corner of last leaf lacking with no loss to text "6" in small early hand to head of title page. A very good copy overall. $350. Only edition of this rare insightful commentary on the intersections of credit ethics and British law at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. Writing at a pivotal moment when Great Britain's domestic and global commerce increasingly relied on complex credit networks Courteville offers an early sophisticated critique of the social and economic costs of imprisonment for debt alongside a rigorous analysis of contemporary bankruptcy statutes. Rather than viewing insolvency through a purely punitive or moralistic lens Courteville treats it as an unavoidable structural reality of a modern commercial state. He proposes a series of pragmatic legal reforms aimed at balancing the rights of creditors with the economic rehabilitation of honest debtors. To support his arguments he performs a comparative legal analysis-most notably drawing parallels to the mercantile laws of Holland-and scrutinizes recent insolvency acts passed by Parliament to illustrate where current British legislation fell short. Raphael Courteville is a fascinatingly multifaceted figure of the Georgian era. While chiefly remembered today as a notable organist at St. James's Westminster and a hymn composer he was also an aggressive and prolific political writer. For years he served as a dedicated state pamphleteer under the payroll of Prime Minister Sir Robert Walpole frequently writing for The Daily Gazetteer under the pseudonym "Freeman"-a role that earned him the colorful nickname "Court-Evil" from his Tory detractors. This tract displays his characteristic polemical sharpness applied to legal and economic reform. OCLC locates 1 copy in a North American law library Library of Congress.

This charming portrait of the fashionable Catherine Schindlerin expertly illustrates Smith's superior technique and artistic ingenuity. Catherine Schinderlin was a German singer and actress who began her career in London in 1775 the year Reynolds did this portrait for the Duke and Duchess of Dorset. It shows the actress in the role of the "Coquette" from an as yet unidentified play or opera. A highly influential figure in the late eighteenth-century British art world John Raphael Smith was the most robust and prolific printmaker of his time. During his prodigious career Smith produced nearly 400 prints 130 of which were of his own design. The remainder reproduced paintings by such noted British artists as Joshua Reynolds George Romney and Joseph Wright of Derby. Smith was an incredibly astute businessman and soon became an impresario of the print-publishing trade. At the 1783 exhibition of the Society of Artists Smith exhibited his print of the Prince of Wales. This clever bit of marketing precipitated his appointment as the Prince of Wales' mezzotint engraver immediately making him even more desirable to an art market hungry for quality prints.
