The allusion to Adam Smith is intriguing as in 1804 Lauderdale would publish An Inquiry into the Nature and Origin of Public Wealth, and into the Means and Causes of its Increase, in which he questioned Smith's theory of the relationship between labour and value, arguing that profits resulting from capital investment in labour in order to supply public demand arose only when unimpeded by commercial legislative restraints, such as Pitt's sinking fund to redeem the national debt. The Critical Review (Vol. XIX, 1797, p.319) were effusive in their praise: 'A more important pamphlet, indeed, than this, has scarcely ever fallen under our inspection; and we recommend the serious perusal of it to every reader who wishes to inform himself of the actual state of the country'.
