First edition.
Charles-Emmanuel Micoud d'Umons (1753-1817) was a naval officer. He studied the relationship between a country's wealth, its tax system and the influence of its colonies (slave trade, colonial pact, etc.) on its trade. He is credited with the creation of a provident fund to help miners, set up following the disaster at the Beaujonc mine in 1812 in which 57 men perished.
