Smith in his See also:infancy
.
He engaged in See also:foreign See also:trade, especially with See also:Turkey, and spent a number of years at See also:Constantinople and See also:Smyrna
.
Some notices of the See also:manners and customs of the See also:east were printed from his papers by his See also:brother
.
Having returned to London with a considerable See also:fortune, he continued to prosecute trade with the See also:Levant
.
His ability and knowledge of See also:commerce attracted the See also:attention of the See also:government, and he was further recommended by the See also:influence of his brother Lord Guilford
.
During the Tory reaction under See also:Charles II. he was one of the sheriffs forced on the See also:city of London with an See also:express view to securing verdicts for the See also:crown in See also:state trials
.
He was knighted, and was appointed a See also:commissioner of customs, afterwards of the See also:treasury, and again of the customs
.

James II., " he took," says Roger North, " the See also:place of manager for the crown in all matters of See also:revenue." After the Revolution he was called to See also:account for his alleged unconstitutional proceedings in his See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office of See also:sheriff
.
He died on the 31st of See also:December 1691
.
His See also:tract entitled Discourses upon Trade, principally directed to the cases of the See also:interest, coinage, clipping and increase of See also:money, was published anonymously in 1691, and was edited in 1856 by J

.
In this thorough-going and emphatic assertion of the See also:free-trade See also:doctrine against the See also:system of prohibitions which had gained strength by the Revolution, North shows that See also:wealth may exist independently of See also:gold or See also:silver, its source being human See also:industry, applied either to the cultivation of the See also:soil or to manufactures
.
It is a See also:mistake to suppose that stagnation of trade arises from want of money; it must arise either from a glut of the See also:home See also:market, or from a disturbance of foreign commerce, or from diminished See also:consumption caused by poverty
.
The export of money in the course of See also:traffic, instead of diminishing, increases the See also:national wealth, trade being only an See also:exchange of superfluities
.
Nations are related to the See also:world just in the same way as cities to the state or as families to the city
.
North emphasizes more than his predecessors the value of the home trade
.
With respect to the interest of See also:capital, he maintains that it depends, like the See also:price of any commodity, on the proportion of demand and See also:supply, and that a See also:low See also:rate is a result of the relative increase of capital, and cannot be brought about by arbitrary regulations, as had been proposed by Sir See also:Josiah See also:Child and others
.
In arguing the question of free trade, he urges that every See also:advantage given to one interest over another is injurious to the public
.
No trade is unprofitable to the public; if it were, it would be given up; when trades thrive, so does the public, of which they See also:form a See also:part
.
Prices must determine themselves, and cannot be fixed by See also:law; and all forcible interference with them does harm instead of See also:good
.
No See also:people can become See also:rich by state regulations,—only by See also:peace, industry, freedom and unimpeded economic activity
.
It will be seen how closely North's view of things approach to that embodied some eighty years later in Adam Smith's See also:great See also:work
.
North is named by Wilhelm See also:Roscher as one of that " great triumvirate " which in the 17th See also:century raised the English school of economists to the foremost place in See also:Europe, the other members of the See also:group being See also:Locke and See also:Petty
