SENIOR (NASSAU WILLIAM)

Four Introductory Lectures on Political Economy, FIRST EDITION, AUTHOR'S PRESENTATION COPY TO TOCQUEVILLE, inscribed on title "M. de Tocqueville / from the author", upper left corner of title neatly torn away, publisher's black cloth, slight discolouration, 8vo, Longman, Brown, 1852

Footnotes

"I have published 4 little lectures on the definition of Political Economy which I will bring with me in May", wrote Nassau to Tocqueville on 17 April 1852 (OC, vol. 6, letter 61). In fact Nassau sprained his ankle in the interim and was unable to travel; the presentation must therefore have taken place when Tocqueville visited him in London.
