Amongst the authorities to which I have been most indebted for guidance are the following,—“Histoire du Système des Finances pendant les années, 1719 and 1720,” by Duhautchamps; “Vue génèrale du Système de M. Law,” by Fourbonnais; “Correspondence of the 2nd Earl of Stair, in the Hardwicke State papers;” “Memoirs de Saint-Simon;” “Law et son système des Finances,” by Thiers; “Recherches historiques sur le systême de Law,” by Levasseur; and “Law, son systême et son époque,” by Cochut. Law’s own writings have, of course, also furnished valuable material, and particularly his “Proposals and Reasons for constituting a Council of Trade in Scotland,” and his “Money and Trade Considered.” His later writings form part of Daire’s “Collection des Principaux Economistes.”
