Physiocracy in Italy 20 [ECONOMICS]. Opuscoli interessanti l’Umanità e il Pubblico, e Privato bene delle Popolazioni, e Provincie Agrarie, n.p., n.d. [1773]. £480 8vo, pp. ccclxvii [367], [1] errata; printed on strong paper; contemporary full vellum, with contemporary manuscript list of contents on front free endpaper; a Wne copy. First edition of this Sammelband, a representative collection of essays on contemporary issues of physiocratic debate in Italy. One extensive article concerns the ‘total and universal’ freedom of trade. The anonymous author begins with a discussion of what constitutes national wealth, and then outlines reasons for and against free trade. He clearly represents physiocratic ideas in his belief that only agriculture can provide a state with growth. Another contribution in letter form concerns social and political reform. The writer outlines the dismal condition of the workers in agriculture, and the restrictions through excessive taxation and feudal property rights; he advocates general reforms in line with the Enlightenment reform projects of Leopold II. A couple of brief essays are translated from the French and English respectively, one of them containing a discussion of the diverging business problems of a sole trader as opposed to a larger concern. In the Wnal chapter the principles of political economy are explained in the form of a dialogue. Uncommon; Goldsmiths’–Kress 10957.8-1. Feudal Law 21 [ERTEL, Anton Wilhelm.] Neu-eröVnete Schau-Bühne von dem Fürsten-Recht, Auf welcher durch hundert auserlesene Politische und Juridische Quaestiones, die vortreZichste Materien, von dem Gewalt, Authorität und Praerogativen derer Fürsten untersucht, mit wahrhaVten Historischen Anmerckungen bestärcket und nach der unpartheyischen Richtschnur der Gott-liebenden Wahrheit und aequität resolviret werden.

An interesting volume combining a theoretical treatise on feudal law with its practical application in the law as applied to the Ritterschaft of Franconia. I. First edition, uncommon, of this compendium of the law as applied to kings and rulers, by Anton Wilhelm Ertel, a proliWc writer on matters of taxation and the law. This work appears to be some form of companion
volume to his earlier publication Praxis Aurea de Jurisdictione Inferiore, Civili & Bassa vulgo, and a work on local taxation. Ertel discusses all aspects of good practice as relating to king and ruler under the ‘contract’ provided by the feudal system. In one hundred chapters or ‘exercises’, individual questions are discussed and resolved citing all relevant legislation. Questions include procedural problems, international law, Wnancial questions, and civil law. Unfair promotions and dismissal, the question of whether a ruler can withdraw favours promised by his predecessors, and questions of inheritance are discussed. A number of sections deal with Wnancial problems, such as taxation and the ban on monopolies. Pertinent chapters deal with the question whether the ruler is well advised to select his ‘servants’ according to ability or nobility. II. Second edition, Wrst published in 1694 of the privileges of the Franconian knighthood. The statutes begin with the basic rules of conduct, including some interesting information on the relationship between knight and his servants. A number of special privileges granted within the seventeenth century are reprinted, including a number regulating Wefdoms and land. A special privilege regulates the life and business of the local Jewish population. Interest and usury are banned within the realm of Franconia. Humpert 7436; Jöcher II, 390; uncommon, I.

I. First edition, very rare, of this political polemic against the union of France and Austria in the Seven Years’ War, with a clear warning of the dangers of upsetting the equilibrium of forces within Europe. The Seven Years’ War (1756–1763) had started because of the coalition between Austria, France, Russia, Sweden and Saxony against Prussia, in an attempt to curtail the power of Frederick the Great. Prussia was joined by England and a colonial and maritime war broke out between France and England, which indirectly led to the formation of the British Empire. This polemical article is written from the Prussian viewpoint, and warns against France and Austria joining forces. An interesting supplement traces the history of Franco- Austrian alliances. II. Later edition of a fascinating compilation of predictions and prophecies regarding European politics and the fate of individual states. The prognostications by Nostradamus, Lichtenberger, Paracelsus etc. are arranged by country, and deal in turn with the papal states, the Austrian Empire, England, and France; they are followed by individual prophecies by Lichtenberger, Carione, Aegidius, and Suschken. I. Weller I, 93; not found in NUC and RLIN, KVK lists just one copy at the Bavarian State Library.
