A volume from the working library of William Stanley Jevons, with his signature and Hampstead Heath Dec 1880 written in ink to front free endpaper verso, annotated below by his son, "Sold H.S.J. 27.4.14". First printed in 1805, Jenkinson's Treatise was reprinted in 1880 at the instigation of two Governors of the Bank of England following recent discussions on International Currency. Jevons included this title in his 1882 list of selected books on political economy. "Jevons was a born collector, the first of a distinguished tribe of economic bibliomaniacs who have contrived to set a fashion amongst librarians which has entitled the booksellers to run the obscurest fragments of economic literature up to fancy figures. Jevons invented the collecting of obscure economic books and pamphlets. Professor Foxwell first caught the affliction from him; though Jevons never paid high prices or proceeded to the extremer stages where condition and collector's 'points' are paramount - his was primarily a far-flung working library for which any usable copy would do" (Keynes).
