About This Item
London: John W. Parker,, 1844. Mill tackles economic problems First edition of a series of five theoretical essays on economic problems which Mill had composed around 1830, only one of which had been published. Gathering these earlier essays gave Mill the idea of preparing a major synoptic work that would expand and bring up to date the classic treatises of Smith and Ricardo, and it proved to be the genesis of his great treatise, Principles of Political Economy, published early in 1848. Octavo. Uncut in original boards, rebacked with blue cloth with blue morocco label. With 4pp. publisher's advertisements at rear. A few instances of minor pencilled marginal lines and underlining. Light rubbing and bumping at extremities, slight spotting to endpapers. A very good copy. Einaudi 3899; Goldsmiths' 33591. MacMinn, Hainds & McCrimmon, p. 57.
