Notes

Vaughan’s text "displayed a thorough familiarity with both French and Scottish sources on commercial theory and policy, and advocated (among other things) replacing Britain’s protectionist trade restrictions with mutually beneficial free trade agreements... [it] stands as one of the... fullest celebrations of Smithian political economy and free trade". See David Burrows, ed., 'Sociability and cosmopolitanism: social bonds on the fringes of the Enlightenment'.
