About This Item

London, Baldwin, Cradock, and Joy, 1826. 1st Edition . Hardcover. .. Octavo. Pp. viii, 304. HARDCOVER, contemporary half black smooth calf and matching pebbled cloth, spine ruled and lettered in gilt, all edges sprinkled red; old signature to title, contemporary pencil annotations to endpapers; some rubbing to leather on extremities. In a very good condition. A nice copy. ~ Third, revised and corrected edition. This is the first appearance of the revised edition, the final version of Mill's classic work and in many respects the best edition. All later editions are reprint of this one. James Mill (1773-1836), British historian, philosopher, and economist. The first edition of "Elements of Political Economy", "Mill's masterpiece", appeared in 1821. According to his son, John Stuart Mill, it originated in 1819 in instructions given to him by his father during their daily walks. The abstracts of these lessons, prepared by the son, served the father as notes from which to write his book. The work is considered as a summary representation of contemporary theories, in particular those of Malthus and Ricardo. It is said that Mill's principal services to political economy were indirect, among them to have been the father and the teacher of J. S. Mill. Several of the major alterations in Mill's work were founded on criticisms made by his son. (Palgrave. 1894-1901). Kress C.1729. Goldsmith 24799. Einaudi 3894. OCLC 5507730, 1996106. H-5 OUT
