SPECULATIONS
FROM
POLITICAL ECONOMY
BY
C. B. CLARKE, F.R.S.
INTRODUCTION
The following nine articles are "Speculations," by no means
altogether recommendations. They are _from_ Political Economy, i.e.
they have nearly all of them been suggested by considering mere
propositions of Political Economy. Some of them are old, or given me
by friends: some are, I believe, new: these many persons will set
aside as unpractical or impracticable, as that is the approved word
by which people indicate that an idea is new to them. The topics of
the nine articles have been largely taken from those now under
political discussion, but they can hardly be called ephemeral; and,
though they do not form a treatise, they will hardly be called
disconnected. As they are speculations, no trouble has been taken to
work out suggestions in detail, or give the "shillings and pence"
correctly.
