Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wealth of Nations, Vol. 2 of 2 When those countries became commercial, the merchants found this prohibition, upon many occasions, extremely inconvenient. They could frequently buy more advantageously with gold and silver than with any other commodity, the foreign goods which they wanted, either to import into their own, or to carry to some other foreign country. They remonstrated, therefore, against this prohibition as hurtful to trade. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
