1821, p. 186, ch. iv. sect. iii. “That consumption is coextensive with production.” Footnote 639: _Pol. Econ._, III. xiv. “Of excess of supply.” Cf. I. v. § 3, p. 42. Footnote 640: A cargo of skates was sent to Rio Janeiro in 1808. Footnote 641: The intention of the new Corn Law of 1815 was to keep out all foreign grain till the home price should reach 80_s._ a quarter, or the loaf 1_s._ See above, p. 221. Footnote 642: The article on the Bullion question, in August of the same year, might be his, if it was not Francis Horner’s. Cf. Horner’s _Life_, vol. i. ch. vi., dates April and Sept. 1805, from which it appears that Horner was working hard at the question and meant to write on it, as he might have done better in 1811, fresh from his experience on the Bullion Committee. As to the February article, the authorship is shown partly by internal evidence, partly by Horner’s _Life_, vol. ii. p. 68 (Jan. 1811): “I received Malthus’ MS. from you [Jeffrey] and have since transmitted it to him with such remarks as occurred to me in perusing it,” &c. MacCulloch did not begin to write the economical articles for the _Edin. Rev._ till 1818. See _Notes and Queries_, 5th Oct., 1878. Footnote 643: For the history of the currency in the interval see Miss Martineau’s _Introd. to Hist. of Peace_, Bk. II. ch. iii.; _Hist. of the Peace_, Bk. I. ch. iii. and ch. xv.; Cobbett’s _Paper v. Gold_; Macleod’s _Banking_, vol. ii., end of ch. ix. pp. 174–221, much the completest account. Footnote 644: Peel changed his views then on Currency, as he did later on Catholic Emancipation and the Corn Laws. Footnote 645: p. 370. He speaks approvingly of the American free trade in banking in a way that would have pleased Cobden. Footnote 646: p. 371. Footnote 647: _E. g._ Horner complains of this even in so clear a paper as that on Newenham. See Horner’s _Life_, vol. i. pp. 436–7 (_sub dato_ 1808). Footnote 648: _Works_ (ed. MacC.), pp. 291–296. Footnote 649: Ricardo, _Works_ (MacC.), p. xxi. Footnote 650: Cf. below, Bk. V. Footnote 651: Horner’s _Life_, vol. ii. p. 68 (Jan. 1811). Footnote 652: _Thoughts and Details on High and Low Prices during the last Thirty Years, 1793–1823._ The later ed. of 1838 in three vols. is more valuable. Footnote 653: _Political Register_, 30th Nov., 1816. Footnote 654: Internal evidence, _e. g._ p. 237 of the _Quarterly_, compared with p. 65 of _Measure of Value_, would show his authorship, and the article is ascribed to him by Tooke, _Prices_, ed. 1838, vol. i. p. 21. Footnote 655: _l. c._ pp. 215–16. Footnote 656: Bosanquet, _Practical Observations on the Report of the Bullion Committee_ (1810); Ricardo, _The High Price of Bullion a Proof of the Depreciation of Bank-Notes_ (1809), and his _Reply to Bosanquet_ (1811).
