Two works in one volume: (1) (Court, P. de la). Interest van Holland,

ofte gronden van Hollands-Welvaren. Amst., J.C. v.d. Gracht, 1662. (16),267,(5) p., cont. calf w. gilt and ribbed spine w. mor. letterpiece. For the greater part waterst., upper joint split but good holding on cords. First edition of a work that caused a stir upon publication; it was called dangerous and scandalous. De la Court defended himself by stating that it had been published without his consent and that the denounced parts were not written by him. Nonetheless, this analysis of the great economic success of Holland is still seen as one of the most important treatises on economics and political freedom. Van Doorninck, 607; Knuttel, 8652.
