A lengthy and well considered assessment in which Campbell argued that the balance of power was not just a device for political order, but also an aspect of the commercial system that was particularly necessary for trading powers such as Great Britain.

John Campbell (8 March 1708 – 28 December 1775) was a Scottish author. He contributed to George Sale’s Universal History, and wrote a Political Survey of Britain (1744). He was both prolific and well paid: according to James Boswell, Samuel Johnson spoke of Campbell to Joseph Warton as ‘the richest author that ever grazed the common of literature.’
