Arrossature diffuse, ossidato lo specchio di stampa in alcuni fascicoli. Legatura coeva in mezza pergamena, carta decorata ai piatti, titoli in oro su tassello al dorso. Abrasioni ai bordi dei piatti e agli angoli. Rara prima edizione del primo trattato italiano di statistica, scienza definita dall'Autore "perfetta conoscenza dello stato attuale delle cose che il benessere della società e loro componenti riguardano". Questa dottrina viene qui per la prima volta esposta con un taglio tanto moderno e scrupoloso, tanto da segnare il definitivo distacco scientifico e metodologico dalla generazione precedente. L'opera venne redatta dal matematico Cagnazzi, professore di statistica e poi di economia politica all'Università di Napoli, alla vigilia dell'occupazione francese, quando fu "incaricato di redigere un censimento degli uomini atti alle armi e, a tale scopo, compilò una Tavola Statistica [...] Il nucleo del trattato, che non contiene dati statistici ma principi generali sul fine da conseguire e sulle questioni di metodo, è costituito da ampie considerazioni sullo 'stato delle scienze economiche', che Cagnazzi esorta ad abbracciare nella totalità. Dal quadro che ne risulta, emergono gli scopi pratici dell'economia che, nel pensiero del Cagnazzi, riguardano tutti i fattori utili al progresso dell'umanità, fondati su un'adeguata preparazione morale e politica". (DBI, s.v.). Le dottrine economiche di Cagnazzi si ispirarono al laissez-faire di Smith e di Say, che egli cercò di divulgare nel Sud Italia. Einaudi, 775; Manca a Kress, Goldsmiths', Mattioli. Cfr.
