Money Credit & Commerce.

London: Macmillan & Co. Limited,, 1923. A successor to Principles of Economics First edition, first impression, in the scarce dust jacket, of this study of the theory of value in economics, examining the "direction of man's efforts for the attainment of material ends" and exploring improvements "which may increase the command of the peoples of the world over their resources" (p. v). This title was the third in a planned four-book series. The first was Principles of Economics, published in 1890; the second, Industry and Trade, appeared in 1919. Marshall had intended a fourth book entitled Progress - its Economic Conditions, but old age prevented him completing it. Octavo. Original blue-green cloth, spine lettered and ruled in gilt, covers ruled in blind. With dust jacket. Graphs and tables in the text, leaf of publisher's advertisements at rear. Pencil signature (dated February 1923) of one D. A. T. Harkness on the front free endpaper, and infrequent pencil annotations in their hand to the contents. Very light bumping and rubbing to spine ends, cloth and gilt bright, minor browning and foxing to endpapers, edges, and outer leaves; jacket expertly repaired with Japanese tissue at spine ends and joints, affecting lettering at head, closed tear across lower half of spine similarly secured, jacket flaps without price as issued: a near-fine copy in very good jacket. Batson, p. 41; Keynes 82.
