Proceedings of the Levant Company, respecting the Surrender of their Charters, 1825. presentation copy from Lord Grenville to Henry W. Wynn; [bound after] GRENVILLE, Lord. Essay on the Supposed Advantages of a Sinking Fund.

Descripción

First editions; 8vo, 2 items bound in one, xii, 85; [iv], 48 (i.e., 46, last leaf misnumbered) pp., second work inscribed by lord grenville at head of half-title, contemporary morocco-backed blue cloth, a very good copy. travel2023 The second work concerning trade with the Levant shows the increase in commercial activity between Great Britain and Turkey and Egypt. It was felt that a burden on the British merchants was the Charter of the company requiring them to maintain their own consuls and officers abroad. If the Charter was surrendered, trade and profit would be increased as a result of the Government taking over these responsibilities. Scarce, only in 12 libraries worldwide and not in Cambridge or Oxford. Not ascribed to Lord Grenville (1759-1834) in the BL catalogue but the present inscription, along with being bound with another work by Grenville, strongly implies the work is by him. Goldsmiths'-Kress no. 24520.
