Amsterdam : Joan. Cyprianus vander Gracht, 1662 Stock Code: 113943![Interest van Holland, often gronden van Hollands-Welvaren; [bound with:] Historie der Gravelike Regering in Holland.](https://d3dzzbbvj9im7s.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/cache/f7cdeb73106237ab6554a7d221f94b63/1/2/127339.jpg)
First edition, the octavo issue. "The only Dutch bestseller, this work is mainly an argument for industrial freedom plus moderate duties" (Carpenter), comparable and in some respects superior to Roger Coke's of 1670 and 1675, the merit of which consists chiefly in its freedom from errors of reasoning. De la Court "would have to be ranked very high in a history of economic thought or policy" (Schumpeter). The work had been circulated in manuscript and was published, without de la Court's permission, by De Witt, who made alterations and added two important chapters.
