Sir James Steuart, 1712-1780, Scottish political economist, took the surname Denham in 1773 on inheriting property. He had previously spent much time in exile as an adherent of the Stuarts. According to McCulloch this is the first English work on political economy which has “any pretensions to be considered as a systematic or complete view of the subject.”
