In addition to the report on the Trade in Corn in some of the States of Northern Europe, this book includes sections on the Commerce of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azoff and also Observations on the Benefits arising from the Cultivation of Poor Soils.
Book is in very good condition with raised bands on spine and morocco label. Spine and corners in leather. Leaves are remarkably clean and no significant age toning. Edges sprinkled. No inscriptions or markings except for previous sale price in pencil on first blank and on rear pastedown. No foxing or spotting.
Armorial bookplate on front pastedown.
Imperfections: slight tear approx 1cm at joint at head of spine. Head and tail of spine show a little wear and leather at corners somewhat scuffed.

A very scarce first edition, particularly in such good condition.
