About this book

Essays on trade, money, interest, taxes and public credit make up David Hume's Political Discourses, first published in 1752. The contents also list essays on the balance of trade and of power, the original contract, passive obedience, the Protestant succession, an idea of a perfect commonwealth and why politics may be reduced to a science.

This edition has an introduction by William Bell Robertson, author of Foundations of Political Economy. Hume's short autobiography follows the introduction, then Adam Smith's letter on Hume's death. A list of the authorities Hume cited closes the volume.
