Adam Smith 1766
In his book ‘The Wealth of Nations’
Adam Smith shows the relations
Governing the Art of Trading;
With influences far pervading.
‘Man buys as cheaply as he can
And sells as dearly, that’s his plan.’
‘Supply Demand each other feed
Dearer markets cheap ones bleed.’
Jenner 1796
Jenner brings in vaccination,
Boon to every generation;
By similar methods now devised
Many an ill is exorcised.
NELSON AND WELLINGTON.
American War 1775
IN seventeen-sixty and fifteen
Our Taxes raise the Yankees’ spleen.
‘Unrepresented, you’ve no right
To tax us, therefore we will fight.’
