INTRODUCTION.
OF THE OBJECTS AND PROVINCE OF POLITICAL ECONOMY.
[This seems to correspond with the “Introduction to a Course of Elementary Lectures on Political Economy,” as enumerated in the table of contents given by Miss Stewart; (see Editor’s Advertisement). It escaped the fate of the other writings in that list, in consequence of an extra copy having been taken. For, its first certainly, and apparently also its second chapter, were latterly intended by Mr. Stewart to be incorporated in the Third Part of his Dissertation; and various changes were accordingly (about 1819 and down to 1823) made to fit them for this transference; which, however, was never completed. It is perhaps needless to observe, that these alterations are merely superficial, and that the chapters, in all essential respects, correspond with their original accommodation.]
