Abstract
In the Works and Correspondence of David Ricardo (Volume X) Piero Sraf fa noted that the Mill-Ricardo case of the Ricardo Papers deposited at Cambridge contained 'a paper probably in Bentham's hand-writing on th e effects on profits of cultivating successive qualities of land'. In 1978 I made a search of the Ricardo Papers and no such document was to be found. This note reports the discovery in Trinity College Library- and provides a transcription-of a document that may be the elusive ite m, though it is in James Mill's hand. (C) 1996 Academic Press Limited
