MILL, John Stuart (1806-1873). Principles of Political Economy with some of their Applications to Social Philosophy. London: J.W. Parker, 1848. 2 volumes, 8°. (Lacking half-title in vol.II, both titles very lightly foxed). Contemporary green calf gilt, later lettering pieces on spines, marbled edges (spines rubbed). Provenance: Walter John Heathcote (armorial bookplate).
FIRST EDITION of Mill's best known work. 'He aimed in fact at producing a work which might replace in ordinary use the Wealth of Nations, which in his opinion was "in many parts obsolete and in all imperfect"... His book is very far indeed from being a "modern Adam Smith". It is an admirably lucid, and even elegant, exposition of the Ricardian economics, the Malthusian theory being of course incorporated with these...', Encyclopaedia Britannica. Einaudi 3907; Goldsmiths' 25525; Kress C.7500; PMM 345. With Mill's Autobiography (London, 1873). (3)
