Item
Identifier: MS.9376
Scope and Contents
The manuscript is not in the hand of Sir James Steuart Denham, but the work may be attributed to him by the fact that the economic opinions expressed in it are similar to those he put forward in 1767 (compare, for example, folio 58 with ‘An inquiry into the principles of political economy’, page 350).
The 'Observations' were apparently bound up at a later date (end papers, 1807); but the paper of the manuscript itself appears to be of an earlier date, possibly circa 1760.
Dates:
Late 18th century.
