‎London A. Bettesworth and C. Hitch; and S. Birt 1738 Reliure contemporaine entièrement en cuir. Légèrement éraflée et présentant de légères ébréchures sur les bords du cuir. La charnière avant est un peu fragilisée. Exemplaire propre et soigné à l'intérieur, mais présentant quelques taches sur les pages de garde et la page de titre, ainsi que de très légères traces de vers. Il s'agit néanmoins d'un bel exemplaire. In-octavo (162 x 95 mm), xxxix, [9], 239 pages. En-têtes gravées sur bois. Quatrième édition (augmentée) de l'ouvrage le plus influent de Gee, publié pour la première fois en 1729 et réimprimé en neuf éditions anglaises au cours du XVIIIe siècle. Rédigé dans un contexte de baisse des exportations, de déclin de l'agriculture et de hausse du chômage, *Trade and Navigation* est un traité mercantiliste soutenant que la voie la plus sûre vers la richesse pour la Grande-Bretagne résidait dans la restriction des importations de marchandises pouvant être produites sur place. L'ouvrage passe en revue le commerce britannique tant d'un point de vue historique que région par région, et aborde des problèmes particuliers (notamment un chapitre sur l'influence pernicieuse de la mode française sur la manufacture anglaise), avant de se consacrer, pour l'essentiel, aux remèdes proposés. Parmi ceux-ci figuraient en premier lieu le transport des condamnés et des pauvres sans emploi vers les colonies pour pallier la pénurie de main-d'uvre coloniale, la création de ports francs à Gibraltar et à Port Mahon, ainsi que la promotion générale d'une production de substitution aux importations dans l'ensemble des plantations. Une partie importante de l'ouvrage est consacrée aux colonies d'Amérique du Nord et aux Antilles, avec des chapitres distincts sur la Caroline, la Pennsylvanie, le New Jersey, New York et la Nouvelle-Angleterre, ainsi que sur les commerces du tabac et du sucre dans les îles. Gee met également en garde contre le risque politique lié à la dépendance britannique vis-à-vis de la Moscovie et de la Suède pour les fournitures navales telles que le chanvre, le lin, le brai et le goudron. Joshua Gee (16671730) était un éminent marchand londonien spécialisé dans le commerce de la soie, du fer et d'autres marchandises, ainsi qu'un conseiller auprès du Board of Trade and Plantations. Quaker et proche collaborateur de William Penn, il fut l'un des premiers créanciers hypothécaires de la Pennsylvanie et devint en 1720 l'un des associés fondateurs de la Principio Company, qui produisait du fer dans le Maryland pour le marché britannique.

‎Full leather contemporary binding. A little rubbed and with slight loss to the edges of the leather. Front hinge is a little weak. Internally clean and tidy copy, but with a little staining to end papers and title, and some very light worm damage. Still an attractive copy. Octavo (162 x 95 mm), pp. xxxix, [9], 239. Wood-engraved headpieces. Fourth (Enlarged) edition of Gee's most influential work, first published in 1729 and reprinted in nine English editions during the eighteenth century. Written against a backdrop of declining exports, decaying agriculture and rising unemployment, the Trade and Navigation is a mercantilist tract arguing that Britain's surest path to wealth lay in restricting the import of goods that could instead be produced at home. The work surveys British trade both historically and region by region, and addresses particular problems (including a chapter on the pernicious influence of French fashion on English manufacture), before turning, in its greater part, to proposed remedies. Chief among these were the transportation of domestic convicts and unemployed poor to solve the colonial labour shortage, the establishment of free ports at Gibraltar and Port Mahon, and the broader encouragement of import-replacing production throughout the plantations. A substantial portion of the book is devoted to the North American colonies and West Indies, with individual chapters on Carolina, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and New England, and on the tobacco and sugar trades of the islands. Gee also warns of the political risk of British dependence on Muscovy and Sweden for naval stores such as hemp, flax, pitch and tar. Joshua Gee (16671730) was a prominent London merchant trading in silk, iron and other commodities, and an adviser to the Board of Trade and Plantations. A Quaker and close associate of William Penn, he was one of the original mortgagees of Pennsylvania. In 1715, Gee and Augustine Washington (George Washington's father) founded the Principio Company. It was backed by an association of British ironmasters, merchants and capitalists. Principio produced pig-iron and bar-iron in the provinces of Maryland and Virginia for sale in England. By 1723, Gee and his partners owned or controlled more than 12,000 acres [approximately 4,850 hectares] of land in North America containing iron ore deposits.

‎Literary Museums at Home. Exhibiting and Experiencing Literature Indoors‎

‎, Brepols, 2025 Hardback, Pages: 162, Size:220 x 280 mm, Illustrations:3 b/w, 74 col., Languages: English, French. ISBN 9782503599960.‎

‎Summary This book, at the intersection of material culture, thing theory, fiction and museology, explores the different ways in which literature is exhibited and appropriated within the domestic, intimate sphere of the home. Certain daily practices involve the exhibition of literature in ways that are similar to those encountered in a museum. Interior decoration and design, bibliomania, homeware, fashion items, not to mention board games or doll's houses, may all be considered means of fetishising literature within the home. While the book combines academic chapters, from a wide range of literary genres, across centuries and various countries, and interviews of museum directors who currently live in a museum house, it draws attention to the duality that characterises such domestic literary landscape, which simultaneously exhibit the literary and produce literature. The book delves into the past or present ways in which writers and literature lovers inhabit their home, especially when these homes become museum spaces during their lifetime, and when the objects accumulated by these literati-curators are intimately linked to their writing.

‎New look at life in the 17th century / The tangible world behind the paintings, with real objects from everyday life / Published to coincide with the At Home in the 17th Century exhibition at the Rijksmuseum (17 October 2025 ? 11 January 2026) What belongings did people have at home in the 17th century? At Home in the 17th Century opens the door to everyday domestic life and brings the reader closer to the people of the time. From everyday objects such as combs and brooms used for personal care and household chores, to wedding rings and christening gifts that marked important life events. Instead of familiar idealized genre paintings, this book focuses on real life. Several Rijksmuseum curators delved into the world behind the paintings: the residents and the objects that surrounded them. What people left behind ? furniture and utensils and even cesspool finds ? gives a picture of how they furnished and used their homes. The result is an intimate look behind the front door of the 17th century ? into a world that is sometimes surprisingly recognizable, but often radically different as well.‎
