Lately Published, by the same Author, A DISCOURSE ON THE RISE, PROGRESS, AND IMPORTANCE OF POLITICAL ECONOMY; CONTAINING AN OUTLINE OF A COURSE OF LECTURES Printed by John Stark. THOUGH the Article on POLITICAL EcoNOMY in the Supplement to the Encyclopadia Britannica forms the ground-work of the present publication, it is, in most respects, an entirely New Work. The limits within which it was necessary to compress the article in the Supplement, obliged me to omit several interesting and important subjects, which I have here treated at considerable length And I have endeavoured to avail myself of the aids derived from subsequent reflection, and the suggestions and criticisms of others, to improve those parts of the work that are not completely new, and to render the whole more worthy of the science, and of the public attention. |
