Specialist Notes
First edition of this interesting treatise on education, free trade, natural law. Written on the inspiration of Carl Friedrich of Baden, and therefore of Dupont de Nemours. The specimen has a B on the plates surmounted by a princely crown. Probable gift not of the Margrave (it is not a crown of the Holy Roman Empire) but of his son, the crown prince Carl Ludwig (1755-1801).
