About This Item
Paris, Nyon, Didot, Saugrain, 1762. XXXVII, (3), 389, (3) pp. 12mo. Contemp. calf, spine with red label gilt (slightly rubbed). Paris, Nyon, Didot, Saugrain, 1762. First edition. Dupré de Saint Maur (1695-1774), member of the Académie Française, was initially known as translator of English literature, a.o. of Milton's "Paradise Lost". He later turned to economics and statistics and was "Maître des comptes". The present work is a very detailed history of the value of money, citing numerous source works. There are numerous comparisons of weights and money of various countries and regions, and of wages earned by labourers to assess the purchasing power. - Old ms. inscription on title - Kress 6015; Goldsmiths 9786; Einaudi 1688; INED 1644; Higgs 2771; Hoefer XV, 365.
