Memoirs Of The Life Of John Law Of Lauriston is a historical biography written by John Philip Wood in 1824. The book provides a detailed account of the life of John Law, a Scottish economist and financier who played a significant role in the financial history of France during the early 18th century. The book covers Law's early life, his time in France, and his involvement in the Mississippi Company, a trading company that controlled the French colony of Louisiana and the Mississippi River Valley. The book also explores the rise and fall of the Mississippi System, a financial scheme created by Law that ultimately led to economic collapse and social unrest in France. The author draws upon a range of historical sources to provide a comprehensive and engaging portrait of Law's life and legacy, shedding light on the complex economic and political landscape of 18th century France. Overall, Memoirs Of The Life Of John Law Of Lauriston is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of finance, economics, and politics in Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
