* Sir James Steuart, An Inquiry into the Principles of Political Economy, Vol. 1, Dublin, 1770, p. 396. Steuart (1712–80) was the last representative o the mercantilist school, and his work already represents a transition towards the classical bourgeois analysis of capitalist production by Adam Smith. It is with a short chapter on Steuart, therefore, that Marx opens Theories of Surplus-Value.

† Eugène Daire, ‘Introduction’, in Physiocrates, Vol. 1, Paris, 1846; H.-P. Passy, op. cit., p. 511. Louis-François-Eugène Daire (1798–1847) was scarcely significant as an original writer. He has the merit, however, of having edited this collection of Physiocratic writings, which Marx made frequent use of in Capital.
