This discussion of the productivity of small farms, and the social and moral effects of peasant proprietorship includes an appraisal of the effects of peasant proprietorship in France and its suitability to Irish agriculture. Thornton's friend, J.S. Mill, in the chapter on 'Peasant Proprietors' in his Principles, characterized the Plea as "a book which, by the excellence of both its materials and of its execution, deserves to be regarded as the standard work on that side of the question." Revived in 1870, it influenced the passage of the Irish Land Act of the same year.

This is a nineteenth century reprinting with biographical notes by D.C. MacDonald of William Ogilvie's 1782 "An Essay on the Right of Property in Land," which was contructed on Lockean and physiocratic principles. Ogilvie was among the first advocates of sweeping agrarian reform which included the recommendation of a Georgian "single tax." William Godwin was undoubtedly inspired by Ogilvie's work and appraised his reasoning as having "considerable merit" in his Enquiry Concerning Political Justice. "Able and influential." J.B. Williams A Guide to the Printed Materials for English Social and Economic History 1750-1850, II: 540.

In his summary presentation of classical economics--"my first sketch of my system of Political Economy, on the abuse of labor, of competition, and on the excess of production"--Sismondi expounded an early version of his theory of aggregate income distribution. It was originally composed in English in 1815 for the Edinburgh Encyclopedia; the present text has been reset from the American edition published in Philadelphia in 1828. "The essentials of [Nouveaux Principes] had actually been written by 1815." J.A. Schumpeter History of Economic Analysis. "An important primary source for any economics library." Choice
