199, A.V10M 3. The object of this Axiom is to assert that there will always be 



a limiting soil ; and the clauses which precede this assertion are not necessarily and universally 

 true. It might happen from some cause, for instance, from improvements in agriculture, 

 that the produce of land should increase, and yet that the same soil as before should be 

 the limiting soil; no new land being taken into cultivation. This correction of what is 

 asserted, will not affect its application in any of the cases where it is introduced into the 

 calculation ; since the only use of the Axiom in the investigations is to furnish the equa- 

 tion which represents the condition of there being a limiting soil. 



Page 201, Axiom 4. This Axiom comprehends only one of the elements of a change 

 of price, the alteration of the sujjply. Any causes which affect demand directly, affect 

 price through it; but such causes are not here considered. 



Page 205, line 13 for profits read return to capital with profits. 



In several places the word profits is used instead of the return to capital with profits. 

 The reader who attends to the reasoning will easily make this correction. 



Page 205, line 1 8 for Taxes read Partial Taxes. 



Page 207, line 9, &c. Instead of (a — n„) t, we ought to have in the formulEe al — aj„. 



This correction will not affect what follows. 



Page 212, line 3, the part acqv of the tax is said "to fall on profits." Agreeably to 

 what has just been said, the expression should have been that it falls on the retui'ns to 

 capital. But even with this correction of the phrase, this portion of the tax cannot be 

 considered as lost to the capitalist, because the diminution of the return here spoken of, 

 arises from the capital being no longer employed in the same way. The term acqv may 

 be conceived to be compensated to the capitalist by some new employment of the dis- 

 placed capital. But it was necessary to give some explanation of this term, and so tar as 

 agriculture is concerned, the description which I have given of it suggests the true nature 

 of the alteration. 



Page 213, line 2. The last soil is supposed to have less capibd employed upon it than 

 the richer ones; wliich will be true if the richer soils are capable of having dose after 

 dose employed upon them, till we come to a dose which gives a return the same as the 

 return of the poorer soils ; and this is the theoretical supposition. If Iiowever the richer 

 soils have less capital on them than the poorer ones, we shall have c less than c„, and / 

 in p. 217 will be less than 1. In this case the rent will be a considerable portion of the 

 produce.
