My Queries then are these:
1. Is anything known of such a treatise on "circulable wealth," &c., as that which I have named?
2. Is any biographical notice extant of the "David Laurie" mentioned by Watt?
I may add that the volume in question was recently purchased along with about 1000 other pamphlets and books, chiefly on political economy: all of which appear to have formerly belonged to the late Lord Bexley, and to have been for the most part collected by him when Chancellor of the Exchequer.

I find no mention of Mr. Laurie, or of his "Improvements in Glasgow," in Cleland's Annals of Glasgow, published in 1816, nor is he mentioned in Mr. McCulloch's Literature of Political Economy.
