Sophisms of the Protectionists

PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION
20/20

The first series were translated in 1848, by Mrs.D.J.McCord, and published the same year by G.P.Putnam, New York.
Mrs.McCord's excellent translation has been followed (by permission of her publisher, who holds the copyright,) in this volume, having been first compared with the original, in the Paris edition of 1863.

A very few verbal alterations have been made, which, however, have no bearing on the accuracy and faithfulness of her work.

The translation of the essay on "Capital and Interest" is from a duodecimo volume published in London a year or two ago, the name of the translator being unknown to me.

The second series of the _Sophismes_, and the essay entitled "Spoliation and Law," are, I believe, presented in English for the first time in these pages.
