ROSSI, Pellegrino. A Course in Political Economy... Second revised and corrected edition. Volume one [- two], [with:] Course in Political Economy. By P. Rossi. Volume III, published by his sons. De la distribution de la richesse, Paris : Joubert ; G. Thorel, 1843, 1851. 3 volumes in 3 volumes in-8 of [4], II, [2], 464 p. (volume I) ; [4], 448 p. (volume II); [4], II, [2], 434 p. (volume III). Half-basane, long spine decorated (contemporary binding). An excellent copy, well bound at the time. The most important work given by Pellegrino Rossi. Volumes I and II are in a second revised edition. Volume III is posthumous. Volume IV is not present (it will appear in 1854, six years after the death of P. Rossi). It is a very good summary of the economic science of the time. Rossi's theories on rent, land and population clearly follow Ricardo and Malthus. Rossi explains: "I have only tried to give more correctness and neatness to the writing, and more rigour to the sequence of ideas. [...] it was necessary to study the natural laws that govern population and to investigate whether they should be left to themselves or whether positive law and social institutions should intervene in their development." (cf. Warning, pp. I-II). According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, "The most important of Rossi's writings."
