Description
Philadelphia: M Carey, 1791. First Edition. Full contemporary calf.. Fair; endpapers excised; overall browning; abrasions to the spine; joints chafed and strained; rear joint split for about 2 inches from base.. 8vo. vii, [1], 135, [3 - blank page + advertisement leaf for a "parts" issue of the book by Carey - not noted in the AAS copy] pp. An important book by the man who would become Hamilton's assistant at the Treasury and who would be the ghost-author of the latter's famous Report on Manufactures. In the aftermath of the Revolution the American economy was in complete disarray. Coxe was in a unique position to help promote American industry and be one its most effective advocates. The work offered here is a response to Sheffield and the idea that because of the Revolution America would now be cut off from the benefit of British trade, industry, and intellectual stimulus. Coxe's lengthy rebuttal takes up many issues including manufacturing, international trade relations, specific industries, and the advantages accruing to nascent American industry. It is a prescient outline of the American industrial colossus to be. It is also worth noting that M Carey, an economic nationalist, published this work. The two would indirectly provide the impetus for the 'American National School of Political Economy ' so energetically propagated by the son of the latter, H Carey, during the post colonial era. Evans # 23295; Howes C-828; Kress B-2065; DAB IV, 488 - ` 9; see Cooke and Hutcheson for a discussion.
