5 To this passage in his edition, Cannan adds the note: “But why may not the labour be diverted to the production of “something for which there is a demand at home’? The ‘corn, woollens, and hardware’ … perhaps suggest that it is supposed the country had certain physical characteristics which compel its inhabitants to produce particular commodities.”
