[PLUMART DE DANGEUL (Louis-Joseph). Remarques sur les avantages et les désavantages de la France et de la Gr. Bretagne par rapport au commerce et autres sources de la puissance des Etats. Translation from English by Chevalier John Nickolls. Third edition. Printed in Leiden, and now in Paris, by the Estienne brothers, 1754. In-12, VI p., [4] f., 411 p., contemporary havana calf, smooth spine decorated in the grotesque style, garnet morocco title page, triple gilt fillet bordering the boards, gilt edges (upper jaw split, corners dull, one cap worn, the other restored, stains and soiling in the margins). Treatise composed by the economist L.-J. Plumart de Dangeul (1722-1777), under cover of a fictitious English translation. It went through several editions in 1754, before being rediscovered and republished in 1782. It offers a comparative panorama of the resources, crafts and manufactures of the two kingdoms, but particularly of trade, especially the dynamics of the colonial companies, and under this chapter concerns some edifying lines to slavery. (Coquelin & Guillaumin II, 372).
