1836 Commercial Vade Mecum; Greatly Extended and Improved
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Early Edition, Leather Binding, Very Scarce
The third edition of this work, which is very scarce in all editions.
In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the term “vade mecum” (Latin for “go with me”) was popularly used in the titles of practical compendiums designed to be constant personal reference guides.
This volume features a calendar for twenty years, a table of interest, commission and brokerage tables, tables of foreign currency, charts of weights and measures, hackney carriage fares, principal travelling routes, and other useful pieces of information for navigating 19th century society.
Contemporary owner's inscription to front pastedown.
