s article is intended to establish the crucial role played by eighteenth-century Parisian shopkeepers in accelerating new modes of consuming. The uniqueness of Paris as a market rested on the strong influence of the court. Craftsmen and shopkeepers knowingly exploited the rule of distinction borne by their clients and invented novelties and launched fashions callable of enticing them. Their advertising thus focused on a multifaceted notion of quality: quality as it related to the shopkeeper, to the consumer, to the shop and to the products. Always on the lookout for novelty, aristocrats were the great suppliers of quality goods. Invariably short of cash, they used such goods as a means of payment to tradesmen, who stood at the center of a triple market, made up of new and second-hand goods and those sold on credit. High quality and imitation, new and old: shopkeepers used a wide qualitative vocabulary to attract customers. This is now the semi-luxury market developed also among the less affluent. Thus, apparently archaic practices such as barter were in fact used to promote a new market, a semi-luxury market, and are essential to understanding the eighteenth-century consumer explosion. Richard H. Dees, Hume and the Context of Politics, Journal of the History of Philosophy 30:2 April 1992 This article focuses much more on Humes political thought by reevaluating the role of history and context in his political writings. Gordon F. Davis, Philosophical Psychology and Economic Psychology in David Hume and Adam Smith, History of Political Economy 35:2, 2003, Duke University Press. Davis is examining the differences between Hume and Smiths philosophical approaches to psychology and human nature. He argues that despite numerous points of philosophical agreement, Hume and Smith developed fundamentally different conceptions of the self in their early philosophical writings, and that these may have contributed to the different assumptions about economic behavior that emerge in their economic writings. He pinpoints this difference as finding root in the individuals propensity to project his self-interest over time. He will mainly discuss Hume and Smiths premises at the level of economic psychology, while analytical questions at the macroeconomic level will be secondary.

Robert A. Manzer, Hume on Pride and Love of Fame, Polity, Vol. 28, No. 3 (Spring, 1996), pp. 333-355. Abstract: Though resting liberal constitutionalism on appeals to human passion, David Hume was not as dismissive of human virtue as some contemporary critics contend. Rather, he sought to preserve a place for virtue in the private sphere of honor and character, where they would help prevent the excesses of libertinism. This article explores Humes understanding of how pride and the desire for fame help elevate the character of liberal commercial society and then explores his responses to the problems that arise because pride and love of fame are not fully compatible with the egalitarian and humanitarian ethos of liberal constitutionalism.

ISBN 978-0-7123-5059-4 The British Book Trade, 1475-1890: A bibliography provides for the first time a bibliographical conspectus of the history of the British book trade and books from the beginning of printing in Britain to 1890, the date at which the coverage of the Index to British literary bibliography begins. The large technological and social changes that affected the development of the early British book trade over the four centuries covered here are documented newly in literature that ranges from correspondence in trade journals to the hitherto relatively neglected publications of the trade societies, and incorporates the fullest possible listing of the literature on the three persistent book trade issues of the period: the over-supply of apprenticed printers, copyright, and the freedom of the press. In providing access to a large amount of previously inaccessible material, the compiler expects that this bibliography will fruitfully open large vistas of British book trade history to book historians and historians of technology. 20 Englands constitutional test for the year 1763 *+ London: Ptd.
