A very good set. Smith's monumental work in attractive nineteenth century boards. Reputedly stolen by Gypsies at the age of three Smith grew up to become one of the pillars of the Scottish Enlightenment winning fame as a moral philosopher as well as an economist. In 'The Wealth of Nations' Smith laid the intellectual foundations for a liberal free-market society and in so doing revolutionised the understanding of how societies governments and markets interact. He always insisted from 'The Theory of Moral Sentiments' onwards that the 'invisible hand of the market' would regulate capitalist impulses and channel excessive behaviour into productive and beneficent projects. 'The Wealth of Nations' further addresses questions of sovereignty of colonies the origins of coinage and the concept of credit all of which would have a profound influence on the germinating United States of America which declared independence in July 1776 the same year that Smith's work was first published.

McCulloch described it as "the best work on the science published previously to The Wealth of Nations" p. 49. The preface to its inclusion here notes that "as they are affirmed by the Marquis de Condorcet Turgot's biographer to be the germ from which Mr. Adam Smith formed his excellent treatise on The Wealth of Nations it is hoped the curious reader will not be displeased to find them here in an English dress".

réf. 06465Paris: Hautecoeur Frères 1860. A Delightful and Extremely Scarce Equestrian Caricature Album Sixteen Fine Hand-Colored Lithograph Plates by Albert Adam Son of the Celebrated Victor Adam ADAM Albert illustrator. Scènes Comiques d'après Nature. Plates lithographed by Godard. Paris: Hautecoeur Frères 1860. Oblong octavo 6 5/16 × 10 inches; 161 × 253 mm. Hand-colored lithographed pictorial title-page and sixteen numbered hand-colored lithograph plates many containing several individual scenes. Publisher's pictorial green paper boards upper cover illustrated lithographically neatly rebacked to style. Neat contemporary ink inscription dated 1860 on front free endpaper. An excellent example of this extremely scarce and delightfully humorous collection of equestrian caricatures preserved in its original pictorial publisher's boards. Albert Adam's Scènes Comiques d'après Nature is a wonderfully entertaining series of humorous sketches depicting the trials and tribulations of horses riders coachmen passengers and other unfortunate participants in the hazards of nineteenth-century travel. The sixteen beautifully hand-colored lithographs contain numerous individual illustrations frequently combining a principal composition with several smaller vignettes. Horses bolt carriages overturn riders are unceremoniously thrown from their mounts and the supposedly dignified travelers of fashionable France find themselves in the most undignified predicaments. Adam's spirited draughtsmanship keen observation of equine behavior and delightful sense of humor are evident throughout. An Extremely Scarce Publisher's Album of Sixteen Hand-Colored Lithographs The present example contains the first sixteen consecutively numbered plates of Scènes Comiques d'après Nature preserved in the publisher's original pictorial green boards. David Brass Rare Books previously handled a larger example DB 04067 containing thirty-two numbered plates comprising the same first sixteen compositions followed by a further sixteen numbered 17-32. A closely related publication Tribulations Parisiennes et Campagnardes also issued by Hautecoeur Frères and lithographed by Godard presents thirty-two numbered compositions arranged two to a sheet on sixteen larger leaves. The first compositions correspond to those in the present album. See David Brass Rare Books DB 04860 and Bibliotheca Hippologica Johan Dejager no. 361. These surviving examples establish that Adam's illustrations circulated in different formats and arrangements. Whether Scènes Comiques d'après Nature was originally issued in separate sixteen-plate livraisons or whether the smaller albums represent publisher's selections from a more extensive series remains to be conclusively determined. Copies retaining their original pictorial boards are particularly desirable. Albert Adam 1833-1900 was a French draughtsman caricaturist and lithographer the son of the celebrated painter and lithographer Jean-Victor Adam 1801-1866 with whom he frequently collaborated. Like his father Albert specialized in equestrian subjects demonstrating a particular talent for the depiction of horses in motion and the humorous mishaps of riders and travelers. His lively compositions capture both the elegance and the inherent absurdities of nineteenth-century sporting and social life. The Plates: Un Chien emporté with two smaller scenes. Culbute à la Marche. Désagrément du Macadam with two smaller scenes. Le Pot de fer et le Pot de terre with two smaller scenes. Une Famille d'Allemands. Touché!!! with three smaller scenes. Ces Messieurs s'amusent with five smaller scenes. C'est celle-là! qui est une bête de premier mérite with one smaller scene. Une branche de salut with three smaller scenes.

réf. R62Copper engraving ca. 34x52 cm 13 ½ x 20 ½ in. Copper engraved title in Russian and German on the lower margin. A couple of minor repaired tears on the extremities a minor water stain on the lower margin but overall a very good strong impression of this copper engraving. Plate XXVIII from the famous Russian edition of the atlas to Adam von Krusenstern’s circumnavigation in 1803-1806 Atlas k Puteshestviiu Kapitana Krusensterna. SPb 1813. Published on the funds of the Russian Imperial Cabinet the atlas became one of the most luxurious Russian editions of the early 19th century. The complete atlas with 118 engraved views and scenes according to the Russian State Library is a great rarity with only one copy found in Worldcat National Maritime Museum in Greenwich but separate engravings are also very rare. Our engraving depicts the tomb of Charles Clerke 1741-1779 who took part in all three circumnavigations of James Cook. After Cook’s death in Hawaii in February 1779 Clerke took command of the third expedition and continued looking for the Northwest Passage in the Bering Strait but died from tuberculosis near Kamchatka just a few months later in August 1779. He was buried in Petropavlovsk next to the grave of Louis Delisle de la Croyère ca. 1685-1741 – a member of Vitus Bering’s Great Northern Expedition who died of scurvy in 1741 on the way back from Alaska. During their stay in Petropavlovsk in September 1805 the members of Krusenstern’s expedition renewed the tombs and built a wooden pyramid with commemorative boards above both graves. The plate shows two Russian officers in naval uniform and bicorne hats standing next to a wooden monument and a large tree; the engraving also features several log houses and a group of Kamchadals; a glimpse of the Avacha Bay is seen in the far right. Krusenstern’s account of the expedition contains a detailed description of the erection of the monument see: Voyage Round the World in the Years 1803 1804 1805 & 1806… on board the ships Nadezhda and Neva under the command of Captain A.J. von Krusenstern… Vol. 1. London 1813 pp. 202-205. The engraving was made from the drawing from life by Wilhelm Gottlieb Tilesius von Tilenau 1769-1857 a German naturalist and artist who participated in Krusenstern’s expedition. The engraver Andrey Ukhtomsky was a prominent Russian artist a member of the Russian Academy of Arts 1808 the head of the printing house of the Academy and the curator of the Academy’s library. Charles Clerke is notable for being the author of the first account of Captain Cook’s death. His letter to the Admiralty mentioning Cook’s murder on Hawaii was written in Kamchatka on June 8 1779 and was first published as a pamphlet in Reval in 1780 Hawaiian National Bibliography 18. Overall a beautiful copper engraved illustration of Krusenstern’s circumnavigation which reveals the close connection between the first explorers of the North Pacific. hardcover
