John Millar and Janice Smith
This is one of the major products of the Scottish Enlightenment and
a masterpiece of jurisprudence and social theory. Building on David
Hume, Adam Smith, and their respective natural histories of man,
John Millar developed a progressive account of the nature of
authority in society by analysing changes in subsistence,
agriculture, arts, and manufacture. 'The Origin of the Distinction
of Ranks' is perhaps the most precise and compact development of
the abiding themes of the liberal wing of the Scottish
Enlightenment. Drawing on Smiths four-stages theory of history and
the natural laws traditional division of domestic duties into those
toward servants, children, and women, Millar provides a rich
historical analysis of the ways in which progressive economic
change transforms the nature of authority. In particular, he argues
that, with the progress of arts and manufacture, authority tends to
become less violent and concentrated, and ranks tend to diversify.

This work consists of three parts, concerned with the most
substantive revolutions in English government and manners: from the
Saxon settlement to the Norman Conquest, from the Norman Conquest
to the accession of James I, and from James I to the Glorious
Revolution. Through these three phases, Millar traces the
development of the 'great outlines of the English constitution' -
the history of institutions of English liberty from Saxon antiquity
to the revolution settlement of 1689.
