APPENDIX C 171 and sense will appear in place of what may have been pro nounced foolishness. C THE DISPROPORTIONATE TREATMENT OF AGRICULTURAL RENTS BY ECONOMISTS Has not agricultural rent, as a somewhat natural result of the fact that Ricardo’s law of rent was specifically expressed and illustrated in agricultural terms, received undue attention from the schools, to the neglect of urban or city rent in its more acute forms ? Out of a curiosity to ascertain the actual preponderance accorded to agricultural over urban rent in standard economic treatises, the writer has instituted careful comparisons of the space devoted by the authorities to agricultural land and to urban land respectively in treating questions bearing on land values and land rent. The result shows that in thirty-four leading works of thirty authors, 42,094 lines were given to agricultural rents, and 2,919 lines to urban rent,* a ratio of fourteen to one. Following is the list complete: Author and Work At Text lines Adams, H. C., The Science of Finance, 1887 803 Andrews, E. B., Institutes of Econo mics, 1889 3° Bullock, C. J., Introduction to the Study of Economics, 1897 . . - 57° Cairnes, J. E., Some Leading Prin ciples of Political Economy, 1874 • *35 ♦Where agriculture has been considered for other purposes than value and rent of land, it has been omitted from the comparison. The line of distinction is sometimes drawn with difficulty, and in one or two cases, where the argument has seemed to bear equally on agricultural and urban land, it has been included under both heads. In view of the liability to error in such a comparison, this list is circulated in the hope that interested parties may supply any authorities which ought not to be omitted, and note any corrections in the readings for future publication and reference.
