The Mississippi Bubble A Memoir of John Law eBook Adolphe Thiers Francis Skinner Fiske Reviews
This book The Mississippi Bubble A Memoir of John Law (Newton Page Classics) introduced me to the story of John Law and the Mississippi Bubble. I definitely recommend it for anyone wanting an easy-to-read overview of what happened. It also has clear and easy to understand accounts of the Darien Scheme and the South Sea Bubble. But, it is not only a good starting point to get familiar with the subject, but also would suit those with a bit more knowledge on the subject. I enjoyed it a lot.
The Mississippi Bubble A Memoir of John Law (Newton Page Classics) is an excellent overview of the the Mississippi Scheme and the man who created it.
It provides sufficient historical and economic detail without losing the essence of the intriguing story. It also condenses many of the more involved elements of John Law's story into chapter notes so the reader can follow the main themes of the historical account and chose whether to divert attention to the more detailed explanations of specific matters. The historical context of John Law's Mississippi Scheme is also augmented by a concise but informative account of the Darien Scheme (which originated in Scotland) and the South Sea Scheme (which originated in England).
I very much like the Newton Page Classics edition of this work. I bought it after being very pleased with the same publisher's edition of John Law of Lauriston Financier and Statesman, Founder of the Bank of France, Originator of the Mississippi Scheme. This particular edition is wonderfully put together. It has been properly re-formatted and edited for a modern paperback. It also contains a proper professional index which neither the original version nor other modern and less well produced editions contain. The cover image is taken from the early eighteenth-century Dutch produced satirical book "Het Groote Tafereel der Dwaasheid"which ridiculed John Law's scheme; and the overall design complements the design of the other books produced on this subject by the same publisher.
In conclusion, if you would like an easy to read but not over simplified account of this important part of European and American history, I would definitely recommend this well produced and good historical account of the life of John Law and the Mississippi Bubble he created.
While the story of Law's dubious career is quite engaging, this version is so riddled with OCR errors as to make it painful to read
