Page 84 - If England should have acquired such a degree of skill in manufactures that, with any given portion of her capital, she could prepare a quantity of cloth, for which the Polish cultivator would give a greater quantity of corn than she could, with the same portion of capital, raise from her own soil, then tracts of her territory, though they should be equal, nay, even though they should be superior, to the lands in Poland, will be neglected ; and a part of her supply of corn will be imported from that...

Page 57 - If you were here at my fireside, I should dispute some of your principles. I cannot think that the rent of farms makes any part of the price of the produce, but that the price is determined altogether by the quantity and the demand.

Page 58 - In every society the price of every commodity finally resolves itself into some one or other, or all of those three parts; and in every improved society, all the three enter more or less, as component parts, into the price of the far greater part of commodities.

For, though the capital employed in cultivating at home might bring an excess of profit over the capital employed in cultivating abroad, yet, under the...
Page 60 - The rent of an estate above ground, commonly amounts to what is supposed to be a third of the gross produce ; and it is generally a rent certain and independent of the occasional variations in the crop.
Page 38 - The chairmen, porters, and coal-heavers in London, and those unfortunate women who live by prostitution, the strongest men and the most beautiful women perhaps in the British dominions, are said to be, the greater part of them, from the lowest rank of people in Ireland, who are generally fed with this root.
Page 68 - The lowest price at which coals can be sold for any considerable time is, like that of all other commodities, the price which is barely sufficient to replace, together with its ordinary profits, the stock which must be employed in bringing them to market.
Page 54 - Denn die neue Theorie mit bewundernswerter Intuition sofort in ihrer vollen Tragweite erkannt, sie mit der Schärfe einer unerbittlichen Logik in allen ihren weitreichenden Folgerungen entwickelt, ihr durch seine Darstellung Eingang und Verbreitung in der ganzen wissenschaftlichen Welt verschafft zu haben — das bleiben unter allen Umständen die unschätzbaren Leistungen, deren Ruhm Ricardo gesichert ist. Dagegen ist es nun aber unstatthaft, darum den Männern, auf die Ricardo selbst als auf die...
