[Paris]. 1756.. 74pp. Modern plain wrappers. Very good. Lacoste's work is a criticism of Coyer's LA NOBLESSE COMMERÇANTE..., published earlier the same year. Coyer had urged French noblemen to develop the domestic economy. Lacoste urges economic development in the French colonies abroad, particularly in Louisiana and Canada. One of his ideas is to send orphaned French children to North America for use as laborers. He discusses the economic opportunities available in the American colonies, particularly in tobacco and mining. In increasing order of bookseller favorability, NUC locates three copies (ICN, MnU, MH-BA), RLIN two (MnU, MH- BA), and OCLC only one (CtY). Nevertheless, a rare item, of particular interest for the early economy of Louisiana. BELL L24. KRESS 5533. HIGGS 1215. OCLC 27796694.
