Product Information

Excerpt from The Life of Sir William Petty: 1623-1687; One of the First Fellows of the Royal Society Sometime Secretary to Henry Cromwell Maker of the 'Down Survey' of Ireland, Author of 'Political Arithmetic' &C.; Chiefly Derived From Private Documents Hitherto Unpublished The present work is mainly founded on the collection of MSS. w at Bowood, consisting of the papers originally belonging to Sir William Petty, which afterwards passed to his grandson, John Fitzmaurice, son of Anne Petty, Countess of Kerry, and afterwards Earl of Shelburne; and of the letters written by Sir William Petty to Sir Robert Southwell, which appear to have been added to the collection at Bowood by the third Marquis of Lansdowne, through a purchase made at the time of the sale of the MSS. of Lord de Clifford, the then representative of the Southwell family. The ecomic works of Sir William Petty have also been freely referred to, as they frequently throw light on the events of his life, as well as on his opinions relating to politico-ecomic subjects. I have also used a number of scattered MSS., mostly in the Sloane and Egerton collections at the British Museum, and in the Rawlinson collection at the Bodleian Library, Oxford.
