Warfield's words, from the article: "Eight authors born in the period 1700·1750 are singled out for contributions to economic thought. Following brief introductions to the eight authors reviewed here, the contents of the listed works are merged to form a portrait of thought of the times:" and "As in Part 1 of this series, the emphasis is on authors from the United Kingdom and France." The eight men whose writing are reviewed are: Hume, Rousseau, Adam Smith, Turgot, Edmond Burke, Malthus, Condorcet and Bentham. This is one of several unfinished manuscripts or working papers created by Warfield for his ECONOMICS RESEACH studies A printout of the paper is in Econ Research Note-binder No. 6.
