Not illustrated.1779 Excerpt: ... every attempt to do this, as it is at the fame time foolish and unjust, must end in the disappointment of its projector, and prove, detrimental to the interests of those very persons it was most intended to serve. We have already had occasion to see this maxim confirmed by many examples. Nor is it difficult to foresee, that this instance will soon furnish another, if the policy adopted should be continued for some time: for if grain, by this means, should be kept up at a" high rate for a few years, many men would be induced to take farms at a pretty advanced rent, in the hopes of its continuing, and would exert themselves as much as possible to rear abundance of corn. By this means, with ordinary seasons, more corn will be reared than the people of the country can consume;--the markets will be overstocked;--prices will be reduced extremely;--these tenants will be unable to pay their rents;--and the proprietors, and the country in general, be reduced to a much worse state than if no such law had ever taken place . See this subject more sully treated of in the Postscript to this letter. It ought therefore to be instantly repealed, before these baneful effects can have taken place,--and a new system of laws for this part Scotland be introduced in its stead, calculated to preserve grain as much as possible at the medium price, without allowing it to go sensibly above or below it,--which will prove to be in the end most highly beneficial to all orders of people in the country. When equity influences the councils of a nation, the laws that they enact will seldom fail to prove beneficial to all the members of the community.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. Delve into what it was like to live during the eighteenth century by reading the first-hand accounts of everyday people, including city dwellers and farmers, businessmen and bankers, artisans and merchants, artists and their patrons, politicians and their constituents. Original texts make the American, French, and Industrial revolutions vividly contemporary. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Anderson, James was born in 1739 in Hermiston, Scotland.
Doctor of Laws University Aberdeen, 1780.
Gentleman farmer and prolific writer on agriculture and corn law questions, chiefly in his periodical The Bee, and his series of Recreations. His discovery of the ‘Ricardian’ theory of rent arose from his agricultural studies. lieutenant is first stated in the Observations, where he concluded that the rent of land is a premium paid for the privilege of cultivating soils that are more fertile than others and that its payment equalises the profits of farmers tilling land of different qualities.
The same idea is formulated more precisely in the Enquiry.
