第 294 頁 - MONEY is not, properly speaking, one of the subjects of commerce ; but only the instrument which men have agreed upon to facilitate the exchange of one commodity for another.
第 423 頁 - ... being substituted in its place, and even the debts too which it contracts in the principal nations with whom it deals may be gradually increasing...
第 391 頁 - It carries out that surplus part of the produce of their land and labor for which there is no demand among them, and brings back in return for it something else for which there is a demand.
