A very pleasing copy, uncut in the original wrappers, of this rare German translation of McCulloch’s On Commerce, originally published in English in four fascicules between 1831 and 1833. ‘A Treatise on the Principles, Practice and History of Commerce, which McCulloch contributed to the Library of Useful Knowledge, was remarkable as an early exposition and defence of the principles of free trade’ (Palgrave II, p. 657). The translation was undertaken by Joseph Gambihler (1801-1847), who also contributed a substantial introduction to the text.
