‎A Letter to his Grace the Duke of Buccleugh on national defence.‎

First edition second issue "a re-issue of the London edition of the same year with a cancel title page and the addition of a postscript dated: Lincoln's Inn July 20th 1778" ESTC this copy also retaining the London title page. "This discussion of the bill for extending the militia law of Scotland introduced in 1776 contains a number of passing references to the war in America" Adams. The postscript comments on Burgoyne's defeat. Carlyle is identified as author in a contemporary hand on the Edinburgh title. After studies at Edinburgh Glasgow and Leiden where his classmates included William Robertson Adam Ferguson and John Home Carlyle was licensed to preach in 1746 and was introduced to the parish of Inveresk some five miles south-east of Edinburgh by the duke of Buccleuch the following year receiving his ordination in 1748. A moderate in his support for ecclesiastical patronage and politically conservative issues as well as in his endorsement of Enlightenment cultural principles including liberal education polite learning and religious toleration Carlyle was a familiar figure in the cultural life of what has come to be known as the Scottish Enlightenment. Strong and outspoken in his support for the Scots militia cause having written in 1760 The Question relating to a Scots Militia Considered the present pamphlet attacks Smith's apparent opposition to militias in the Wealth of Nations citing passages from Smith's book and also referring to the opinions of the Encyclopedistes.

‎An Enquiry Inquiry Into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations‎

‎London: Strahan And Cadell 1791. 5th or later Edition . Full-calf. Very Good. Three Volumes As Issued. Complete With All Preliminary Blanks In All Volumes Cancels X5 And X8 In Volume 3. Contemporary Calf New But Old Style Black Morocco Labels Gilt In All Compartments. 8Vo. The Preeminent Classic Of Economic Thought Now Scarce In All Early Editions. This Is The Sixth Edition One Of 2000 Copies Identical To The Last Revision By Smith And The First Published After His Death. Worn Extremities Rubbed Spines Chipped Away At Top And Bottom Edges Apparently Repaired At Some Time; Leather Recently Conditioned Furbished Minor Repairs To Corners. Corporate Bookplates In All Volumes. A "Printing And The Mind Of Man" Title. Human Greeds Tend To Cancel Each Other Out And Are Dangerous Only When Government Interferes On One Side Or Another. Thus Government Has No Role To Play In Using Military Force Or Diplomatic Resources To Protect Foreign Trade Although Of Course No Self-Proclaimed Adam Smith Acolyte Politician Would Agree Despite Their Justifications Of Liberalism Free Trade Democracy Etc. : The Greed Of Politicians The Primary Fact Of Modern Life Was Not Fully Anticipated By Smith. The Main Point That Is Usually Cited From Smith'S Long Work 4 Volumes Neglecting 99% Of His Analysis Focuses Only On The Idea That Unrestricted Free Trade Is Better. Modern Interpretations Further Claim That Free Trade Is Always Better And Should Be The Primary Goal- Period That It Is An Absolute Necessity. A Thought Experiment Can Show How That Is Ridiculous. Imagine A World Where A Country Spends Far More On Sex Tourism Overseas Than On Purchasing Anything Else. The Sex Workers Overseas Will Spend Some Money On That Country'S Services And Goods But If There Is An Unbalanced Outflow Most Of The Money In The "Purchasing" Country Will End Up In The "Selling Country". The Purchasing Country Has Nothing To Show In The Long Term For All Those Transitory Pleasures It Purchased And The Country Will Dissolve As It Can No Longer Pay The Normal Everyday Debts Of Government And Private Activity. One Can Listen To Professional Economists That Say That Is Not True But If It Is Not True Why Do The Unfunded Debts Of Federal State And Local Governments Worldwide Keep Going Up And Why Can'T Governments Worldwide Come Up With Working Budgets The Problem Is Not Just In Regulation It Is Also A Problem Of Too Much Consumption. If That Analysis Is Wrong Where Is A Country That Can Provide A Current Budget That Is Based On Receipts Rather Than Expectations And When Have Those Expectations Ever Been Correct Over Say A Century In World History Economists Are Not Historians They Are Bureaucratic Advisors Who Sell Their Advice That Is Not Based On Long-Term Evidence Have Themselves Never Built Anything That Endures Can Point To No Physical Evidence That They Understand How The World Works And Have No Responsibilities When Things Fail. Every Empire And Every Government Fails When It Can No Longer Pay Enough To Sustain And Defend Itself. The Best Interpretation Of The Free Trade Argument Is That Free Trade Is Better For Most Businesses That Make Money From Selling And That In Itself Is Better For Society. If That In Itself Is Better Than Not Having Free Trade If Free Trade Is The Highest Principle In And Of Itself Then Slavery Imperialist Warfare Dictatorship Poisonous And Unhealthy Food Pollution And The Destruction Of Every Natural Thing Become Acceptable So Long As Free Trade Exists. We May Look Forward To Seeing Articles From Economists That Defend That Position And Also To Detailed Budgets For National State And City Governments That Is Within The Boundaries Of Their Receipts. Absent That We Must At Least Consider That Whatever Professional Advisors Say There Is An Issue In The Real World Of "Government Budgets" And We Are Left To Consider What Is The System Of Trade Laws That Make It More Likely That We Will In The Foreseeable Future Have Balanced Them. <br/> <br/> London: Strahan And Cadell unknown‎
