First published Edinburgh Saturday Post, 27 October 1827, p. 196. Reprinted Tave, pp. 164–8 (with attribution, pp. 178–80). The article is another in the series on Ricardian economic theory, in the Post. Other signs include the editorial tone, italicization of ‘That’, the use of ‘between’ and ‘waiving’, the sentence starting with ‘But’, the informality of ‘Rics, and anti-Rics’ and ‘to settle Mr. Ricardo’s hash’, and quotations from Virgil and Horace, and other literary allusions.
