Unto This Last

First US Edition, printed in 1866, following the first UK (1862); a Very Good to Near Fine book. An excellent example of this important book; a collection of 4 essays originally printed in Cornhill Magazine; these essays were reportedly very influential on Mahatma Ghandi and were an inspiration to the British Labour Party in it's initial stages leading up to it's breakthrough in the 1906 general election. This copy is in Very Good or better condition with a square, tight binding, gold lettering over green boards, and clean pages throughout with only light age-toning to the first few pages; the book does show some light rubbing to the edges, some mild crimping to the ends, and light soiling to the exterior text block. Overall, a highly presentable and collectible copy of this early classic work on economics. Will ship carefully wrapped in a sturdy box.
