Memoirs Of The Life Of John Law Of Lauriston is a book written by John Philip Wood and published in 1824. The book provides a comprehensive account of the life of John Law, a Scottish economist and banker who played a significant role in the financial history of France. The book covers Law’s early life, his rise to prominence in the financial world, and his involvement in the Mississippi System, a speculative venture that aimed to develop the French colony of Louisiana and trade with the Native Americans. The book details the progression of the Mississippi System, from its initial success to its eventual collapse, which led to a financial crisis in France. The memoirs also provide insights into Law’s personal life, including his relationships with women and his exile from France. Overall, Memoirs Of The Life Of John Law Of Lauriston is a fascinating historical account of a man who made a significant impact on the financial world of his time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
