This pamphlet concerns the bankruptcy of Alexander Fordyce, the Aberdeen financier whose crash in June 1772 precipitated a banking crisis. The firm of Neale, James, Fordyce and Down had made much of their money through investment in East India stock. This may have been printed in Amsterdam as the Dutch had considerable commercial interest in the East Indies.
Half binding of Scandinavian sheepskin with yellow paper over boards. Spine decorated in gilt with vellum labels. Red silk register. Decorative endpapers printed in red and blue. Decorated edges.
