Amsterdam, Aux depens de la Compagnie, 1774. . Hardcover. Size: 24mo 5" - 6" tall. A handsome tome rebound wholly in leather by master binder, Patrick Bruno, scarcely available to the trade, there being only two copies available currently, but none of this 1774 edition, presumably the second edition, the first having been published three years prior. Internally quite fine of appearance. Comprised of Barreme's "Tables," which were extremely useful in French commerce and taxation, in currency exchange and speculation. Prior to the title page, quite unusually, is a marvelous full-page engraving of a "counting house" with men behind a table exchange money with a woman and two men. Off to a corner a youngster has just entered with a hamper-like panier on his back, full of coins. The text below reads: "Se Vend 50 sols de Paris Chez Jean Geoffrey Nyon dans la place du College des quatre Nations." Before this bookseller's frontispiece is a page of instructions on how to use these tables by M. Barreme.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . . Very Good
