Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Contributions Review Edinburgh Review, Vol. 3 of 3 This work, Mr. Wheatley informs us, was undertaken to elucidate the principles of national wealth; which, notwithstanding the Inquiry of Dr. Smith, are still, it seems, very imperfectly understood. We may add, that it appears to have originated in none of those party motives, or other temporary views, which give rise to the greater number of pamphlets published upon topics connected with national policy. The conduct of the work, as well as its subject, is purely speculative; and it is delivered to the public, we are told, rather as the prospectus of a larger book, than as a separate treatise. Such being the design of this tract, and so high its pretensions, notwithstanding that diffidence which has dictated the hint about a future work, our attention is naturally directed to examine whether anything is performed by Mr. Wheatley to justify his hopes of effecting those reforms in political economy which the celebrated writings of Smith, Hume, and the French Economists, have failed to accomplish. We will venture to predict, that after our readers shall have considered the abstract which we purpose to submit, they will participate in our disappointment, and agree with us in awarding to Mr. Wheatley´s errors and inaccuracies alone the praise of originality. The general character of the work, indeed, is easily given. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
