| Item Description: | For the first volume, up to the discovery of America, Macpherson is wholly responsible. In the second and part of the third volumes (1492-1760) he merely edits and alters Adam Anderson's History of commerce. The remainder of the work, bringing the history down to 1801, was compiled by Macpherson from official records. "The antient part composed from the most authentic original historians and public records, printed and in manuscript; and the modern part from materials of unquestionable authenticity (mostly unpublished) extracted from the records of Parliament, the accounts of the Custom-house, the Mint, the Board of Trade, the Post-Office, the East-India Company, the Bank of England, &c. &c." Errata at beginning of volume 1. Reproduction of original from Kress Library of Business and Economics, Harvard University. Goldsmiths'-Kress number 19000. Electronic resource. |
