JUSTI, Johann Heinrich Gottlob von (1720-1771). Grundsätze der Policey-Wissenschaft in einen vernünftigen, auf dem Endzweck der Policey gergründeten, Zusammenhange und zum Gebrauch akademischer Vorlesungen abgefasset. Göttingen: widow of Abraham van den Hoeck, 1756. 8° (174 x 109mm). Woodcut head-pieces. (Small stains in outer margin of first few leaves.) 19th-century calf, spine gilt, partly unopened (quite rubbed and scuffed).
FIRST EDITION. As one of the main figures of 18th-century 'Cameralism' Justi makes the case for a state-serving, rather than a prince-serving, government administration, breaking with a long-standing tradition of 'Fürstenspiegel' or 'Mirror for Princes' literature.
