Abstract: Abstract In 1821 there appeared two pamphlets which have been a matter of intermittent speculation ever since. They were Observations on Certain Verbal Disputes in Political Economy, particularly relating to Value, and to Demand and Supply (London: R. Hunter, 1821) and An Inquiry into Those Principles Respecting the Nature of Demand and the Necessity of Consumption, lately advocated by Mr. Malthus from which it is concluded that Taxation and the Maintenance of Unproductive Consumers can be Conducive to the Progress of Wealth (London: R. Hunter, 1821). The two pamphlets came quickly to the notice of Ricardo, whose attention was drawn to them by Tooke; and Ricardo attempted some reply to the first pamphlet in a letter to Trower written a month after receiving them.1
