Corrections to the First Printing of the Previous Volumes*

VOLUME I

p. lii, l. 9 for compaint read complaint

p. 116, last line of second table, to ‘455’ attach footnote: Should be ‘445’.

p. 149, l. 24, to the word ‘they’ attach footnote: Ed. 1 ‘we’.

p. 404, n. 1, l. 3, for page ‘120’ read ‘page 120’

p. 407, n. 2 should read Eds. 1–2 do not contain ‘capital and’.

p. 429, last line of text, to the word ‘differently’ attach footnote: Since the present edition first appeared Mr Oswald St Clair has pointed out that some copies of ed. 3 contain the alternative reading ‘variously’. This is clearly a correction intended to avoid the verbal repetition, and must have been made by Ricardo while the printing of the last sheet was in progress.
