The principles of political economy and taxation

---

The produce of the earth—all that is derived from its surface
by the united application of labour, machinery, and capital,
is divided among three classes of the community; namely,
the proprietor of the land, the owner of the stock or capital
necessary for its cultivation, and the labourers by whose industry
it is cultivated.
But in different stages of society, the proportions of the whole
produce of the earth which will be allotted to each of these classes,
under the names of rent, profit, and wages, will be essentially
different; depending mainly on the actual fertility of the soil, on
the accumulation of capital and population, and on the skill,
ingenuity, and instruments employed in agriculture.

principal problem in Political Economy: much as the science has
been improved by the writings of Turgot, Stuart, Smith, Say,
Sismondi, and others, they afford very little satisfactory
information respecting the natural course of rent, profit, and
wages.

of Rent, and a Fellow of University College, Oxford in his Essay on
the Application of Capital to Land, presented to the world, nearly
