De quoi il s'agit
The Querist (1735-1737) : de l'économie irlandaise écrite ENTIÈREMENT sous forme de questions.
Contexte et histoire

Whether the current of industry and commerce be not determined by this prevailing will? 12. Qu. Whether it be not owing to custom that the fashions are agreeable? 13. Qu. Whether it may not concern the wisdom of the legislature to interpose in the making of fashions; and not leave an affair of so great influence to the management of women and fops, tailors and vintners? 14.
