Seller & Payment Information
SIGNED by John Buchan and dated Oct. 1903 on front end page, and with his personal book plate front pastedown. John Buchan was a writer, lawyer, war correspondent, intelligence officer, politician and statesman. As Lord Tweedsmuir he represented the British Crown as the Governor-General of Canada, from 1935 until his death in 1940. Despite his other careers, he is most widely known for his novels, in particular "The Thirty Nine Steps", famously adapted and filmed by Alfred Hitchcock. Charles Francis Bastable, Professor of Political Economy at the University of Dublin, was a proponent of free trade. His classic text, Public Finance, first published in 1892, remains the basis for modern textbook coverage of government taxation, debt, expenditure, and budgeting. Very Good, pencilled marginal notations, with one extended marginal notation in ink at page 488, most likely in Buchan's hand, referencing a U.S. Supreme Court decision. Book seller's pencil markings front end pages. A fascinating Association Copy. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Bookseller Inventory # 005528
