Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Political Economy in England, From Adam Smith to Arnold Toynbee In this critical estimate an attempt is made to express the general drift of subsequent Opinion rather than the particular views of the writer of this history, which does not put forward any pretensions to originality. The author has freely used all the sources of information and instruction which he has been able to discover; and, although he has embraced every opportunity, which seemed naturally to present itself without burdening the notes, of acknowledging his special indebted ness to particular authorities on certain points, he is under a general obligation which can only be fittingly discharged in apreface. He is indebted to all who have in any way, by commentary on the great writers of the past, or independent development of their theories, helped to elucidate the history of a branch of knowledge of which England may perhaps claim to be the classic home, although she has often, and more especially of recent times, experienced the benefits of suggestion and criticism at the hands of foreign writers.
