Beschreibung

Royal octavo. Pp. (ii), 198. With a beautifully engraved coat-of-arms of the Author printed on the leaf preceding title. With a list of works by the Author. HARDCOVER, bound in the original publisher's full cloth, blind ruled sides, gilt lettering to spine, black lettering to front cover; spine-ends slightly bumped, old institutional stamps and shelf label to first free endpaper, one to title-page, spine bit faded, sunned patch to back cover. In a very good condition. ~ FIRST EDITION. Crump wrote many other books on banking, among them "The key to the London money market" (1872); "The theory of stock exchange speculation" (1874); "A new departure in the domain of political economy" (1878). The Author's coat-of-arms is most unusual, both because of its charming design and its presence on the leaf usually reserved for half-title. It incorporates a central design, showing a cat in attack position and a knight's helmet. Under this, a ribbon bears the words "sine labore nihil" (Nothing Without Work). The outer ring bears the words "Arthur Crump Sigill". [Provenance:] Previously in the library of the Second Chamber of the States-General of the Netherlands. TIMO-5 OUT.
