Bibliographics: It is the merit of Christine MacLeod (1983) [1] to have solved the riddle regarding the authorship of this essay.

The letter, written at the request of Martyn and accompanied by a copy of the ‘Considerations’, stated that Martyn wanted to present the Essay to John Locke.

A reprint of the first edition is included in: A Select Collection of Early English Tracts on Commerce from the Originals…. Published by the Political Economy Club (1856) and edited by J.R. McCulloch (pp 541). [The 1859 edition of this title is available as Community Text - https://archive.org/details/cu3192403015696
