[42] Marx critically analyses Smith's tenet that rent enters into the composition of the price of the commodity in a different way from profit and wages, in Notebook XII of the manuscript of 1861-63 (this volume, pp. 552-61). The quotation from Adam Smith's An Inquiry... is in French and is borrowed from Ganilh's Des systèmes d'économie politique... (Vol. 2, Paris, 1821, p. 3). In the 1828 English edition of Smith's work it is to be found on p. 241 of Volume 1.—106 38» Here Marx is quoting Petty in French according to Ganilh's Des systèmes d'économie politique... (Vol. 2, Paris, 1821, pp. 36-37). Ganilh's translation of the passage differs somewhat from the English original quoted by«Marx in an abridged form on pp. XXII — 1348-1349 of the manuscript of 1861-63 (see present edition, Vol. 34).—107 This statement by Ganilh is to be found in the first volume of his work Des systèmes d'économie politique... (Paris, 1821), p. 213. Ganilh's work La théorie de l'économie politique... was published in 1815, two years before Ricardo's On the Principles of Political Economy, and Taxation.—107

[49] Political Economy, and Taxation from Ganilh's Des systèmes d'économie politique..

[53] Here and below Marx, unlike Ganilh, uses figures to designate numbers.—117 Marx quotes Ricardo's Principles in French according to Ganilh's Des systèmes..., Vol. 1, Paris, 1821, pp. 213-15. Part of the quotation is paraphrased by Marx. Further on, he again quotes the same passage from Ricardo, now in a fuller form, borrowing it from the third English edition (see this volume, pp. 126, 127).—117 Vos, non vobis (sic vos non vobis)—thus you labour, but not for yourselves — a phrase from Virgil's unsigned verses written in honour of Emperor Augustus: "Thus you, birds, build nests, but not for your own advantage, and also the sheep grow wool, the bees make honey, and the oxen support the ploughs; but none of them gain profit by their toil." —119 Here Marx quotes from Chapter 26 of Ricardo's Principles first in F. S. Con-stancy's French translation (from Ganilh's Des systèmes..., Vol. 1, p. 214), and then in the original English, opening the passage with the words: "This passage runs like this (3rd ed., p. 416)".—119 From here onwards, four-and-a-half pages, up to p. IX — 377 of the manuscript, were crossed out in pencil (see this volume, pp. 119-26). They contain Marx's detailed analysis of the figures cited by Ricardo in the passage about "an individual with a capital of 20,000 I".—119 Marx reproduces this quotation in a slightly abridged form on pp. XXI —1307-1308 of the manuscript of 1861-63 (present edition, Vol. 34).—127

[57] Here and below, by "consumable products" Marx means articles of consumption, products that enter into individual (personal) consumption, and by "unconsumable products", those entering into industrial (production) consumption.—131

[67] Having made a detailed analysis of Malthus' views on pp. XIV — 777-781 and 810-814 of the manuscript Marx examines two anonymous works, one of which attacked Malthus from the Ricardian stand, while the other defended Malthus' views against the Ricardians. The first is entitled An Inquiry into those Principles, Respecting the Nature of Demand and the Necessity of Consumption, lately advocated by Mr. Malthus..., London, 1821. The second (written by John Cazenove) is entitled Outlines of Political Economy..., London, 1832 (see present edition, Vol. 32).— 180

[70] Henriade—Voltaire's poem about Henry IV, King of France; the first edition appeared in 1723.—183

[73] The quotation from Petty is to be found in A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy, Part One (present edition, Vol. 29, p. 363), in the subsection "Hoarding". Marx also referred to this passage on p. 29 of this volume.—199

[77] See Note 75. Here Marx uses the Tableau économique as given in Schmalz's book Économie politique. Translated from the German by Henri Jouffroy. Vol. 1, Paris, 1826, p. 329. All comments on the table are in French in the manuscript. Marx uses the Tableau économique as it is presented by Quesnay in his Analyse du tableau économique in the supplementary notes on the Physiocrats on pp. XXIII — 1433-1434 of the manuscript of 1861-63 (present edition, Vol. 34). He gives it in the same form in a letter to Engels of July 6, 1863 (see present edition, Vol. 41, pp. 485-87). Marx analyses Quesnay's Tableau in Chapter X (written by him) of Part II of Engels' Anti-Dühring (see present edition, Vol. 25, pp. 211-43). See also Capital, Vol. II, Ch. XIX (present edition, Vol. 36).—204

[85] Marx made a comprehensive study of this problem in Capital, Vol. II, chapters XVII, XX (sections V and XII) and XXI (Section I, Subsection 1) (present edition, Vol. 36).—224, 239

[86] Here Marx uses abbreviations for the three classes mentioned in Quesnay's Tableau économique.— 225

[91] Proudhon writes on pp. 152-53 of his book: "How then does interest stipulated at 6 per cent become an interest of 160 per cent?"—240

[92] On pp. XV — 935-937 of the manuscript of 1861-63 (present edition, Vol. 32) Marx levels criticism against Proudhon's vulgar economic views on the role of money capital and the nature of interest developed in Gratuité du crédit. Discussion entre M. Fr. Bastiat et M. Proudhon. See also Capital, Vol. III, Ch. XXI (present edition, Vol. 37).—240

[108] By tjje radical bourgeois Marx meant James Mill, John Stuart Mill, Antoine Cherbuliez and others. See present edition, Vol. 6, p. 203; Vol. 4, pp. 286-87; Vol. 30, pp. 361 and 373; this volume, p. 379.-278

[114] Marx is referring here to Buchanan, Sismondi, Hopkins, Jones and others. See p. XVIII — 1123 of the manuscript of 1861-63 (present edition, Vol. 33).—327

[115] Marx uses the specified method of calculating the total amount of rent later, in the section marked in the contents of Notebook XI as " Table, with elucidation, of differential rent". See this volume, p. 470 et seq.—329

[124] An allusion to the Corn Law of 1815 which prohibited the import of corn into Britain for as long as the price of corn in the country remained below 80s. per quarter.—349

[127] Marx ironically calls Roscher by the name of the major Greek historian Thucydides since, as he wrote on p. XV — 922 of the manuscript of 1861-63 (present edition, Vol. 32), "Professor Roscher ... modestly proclaimed himself to be the Thucydides of political economy". Roscher's presumptuous reference to Thucydides can be found in the preface to the first edition of his Die Grundlagen der Nationalökonomie..., Stuttgart and Tübingen, 1854.—352

[128] In conformity with Marx's instructions, the passage below, on pp. XI — 501-02, has been placed at the end of p. 500 of the manuscript.—353

[133] James Anderson quotes here from Ricardo d'Agricoltura by Camillo Tarello da Lonato (16th cent.). Anderson refers to the first edition, which appeared in Mantua in 1567, but quotes from its French translation published by the Société économique in Berne.— 372

[134] Cf. the corresponding passage in Anderson: "I wish to employ such a diversity of illustrations as may seem best calculated to operate upon the perceptions of men who are under the influence of those multitudinous prejudices which prevail among us at the present day. No one of these prejudices appears to me to be of more pernicious tendency, than that which supposes that an increased population must naturally tend to produce a scarcity of provisions in every country..."—372

[147] For the fluctuation of corn prices see the tables between pages 40 and 41 of James Anderson's book A Calm Investigation of the Circumstances..., London, 1801.—457

[156] By absolute rent here and on p. 537 Marx means the rate of absolute rent.—Table between pp. 536 and 537 Here Marx uses for the first time the term "price of production" (Produktionspreis), which is henceforth identified with the term "cost price" (see Note 139).—543 Marx mistakenly marked two successive pages with the same number.—548

[158] landowners to pocket the increment in the value of the total social product

[161] proposition that rent is "a clear gain and a new creation of riches", stating that

[163] portion of the value of the corn and commodities from their former possessors to the landlords". Cf. also p. XIII — 733 of the manuscript (present edition, Vol. 32).—550 Marx is referring to the thesis advanced by Rodbertus that the value of raw materials does not enter into the production costs of agricultural products. See this volume, pp. 279-88 and 580.—551 The words in brackets were written in by Marx after he had completed the section dealing with Smith's views on house rent (see p. XII — 641 of the manuscript, present edition, Vol. 32).—572 This passage, which Marx separated with a line from the rest of the text, complements his analysis of Ricardo's theory of rent and, by its substance, belongs to p. XII — 605 of the manuscript (this volume, p. 529).—578

[164] This passage was written down on the inside cover of Notebook XI of the

[165] manuscript. The next three paragraphs were written not earlier than May 1863,

[166] since it was at that time that Marx copied out passages from Malthus and Hume in his notebooks of excerpts.—579 This quotation can be found verbatim on p. 392 of this volume. The rest of the text on this page was written not earlier than May 1863, since it was at that time that Marx copied out passages from Arbuthnot's book in his notebooks of excerpts.—580
