First edition of this prescient programme for English trade, among the most globally orientated of Defoe's economic writings.

In the 1720s, Defoe used his writing to outline an astonishingly detailed plan for British development. The plan focused on establishing British dominance in trade, with London as the hub through which the world's commerce would flow. The Plan fits into this scheme by outlining the global economic framework for this dominance, including several projects for developing trading networks with Africa and colonial America. ESTC T70838; Furbank and Owens 244; Goldsmiths' 6594; Moore 499; Kress, 3744; Sabin 63293. John Richetti, The Life of Daniel Defoe: A Critical Biography, 2005. Octavo (187 x 120 mm), pp. xvi, [8], 368. Wood-engraved head- and tailpieces and historiated initials. Late 19th-century crushed red morocco, spins ruled and decorated in gilt and with twin dark green morocco labels, covers panelled and with cornerpieces in gilt, turn-ins in gilt, marbled endpapers, edges marbled and gilt. Light sunning to extremities, minimal foxing to contents, otherwise crisp: a very good copy indeed. …
