_Historische und geographische Beschreibung des an dem grossen Flusse Mississippi in Nord America gelegenen herrlichen Landes Louisiana_, etc. (Leipsic, 1720) 8vo. It has a map of Louisiana. There was a second edition the same year in 12mo, with _Ausführliche_ beginning a title otherwise the same (Carter-Brown, vol. iii. nos. 277, 278). It has an appendix, _Remarques über den Mississippischen Actien-Handel_, which is a translation of a section on Louisiana in _Aanmerkigen over den koophandel en het geldt_, published at Amsterdam (Muller, _Books on America_, 1872, nos. 915, 916; 1877, no. 1817). _Le banquerotteur en desespoir; Das ist, der versweifflende Banquerottirer_, etc., with a long explanation in German of the lament of a victim, dated 1720, without place, and purporting to be printed from a Dutch copy (cf. Carter-Brown, ii. 258). _Het Groote Tafereel der Dwaasheid, vertoonende de opkomst, voortgang en ondergang der Actie, Bubbel en Windnegotie in Vrankryk, Engeland en de Nederlanden, gepleegt in dem Jaare DDCCXX._ (1720). This is a folio volume of satire, interesting for its plates, most of which are burlesques; but among them are a full-length portrait of Law, another of Mrs. Law in her finery, and a map of Louisiana. There is a copy in Harvard College Library. Cf. Carter-Brown, vol. iii. no. 270; Muller, _Books on America_ (1872), no. 1503. There is in the Boston Public Library a contemporary manuscript entitled, _Mémoire d’après les voyages par Charles Le Gac, directeur de la Comp. des Indes à la Louisiane, sur la Louisiane, sa géographie, la situation de la colonie Française, du 26 aoust 1718 au 6 mars 1721, et des moyens de l’améliorer. Manuscrit redigé en 1722_. Le Gac was the agent of Law’s Company during these years. The earliest personal sketch which we have noted is a _Leven en character van J. Law_ (Amsterdam, 1722). _A Sketch of the Life and Projects of John Law_ was published in Edinburgh in 1791, afterward included in J. P. Wood’s _Ancient and Modern State of the Parish of Cramond_ (Edinburgh, 1794), and the foundation of the later _Life of John Law of Lauriston_, published by Wood at Edinburgh in 1824. This may be supplemented in some points by Chambers’s _Biographical Dictionary of Eminent Scotsmen_. [Illustration]
