[...] which is to be understood of an artificiall perfection of reason, gotten by long study, observation, and experience, and not of every man’s naturall reason; for Nemo nasci-tar artifex.

Page 114: par. 1: Inner quotes should become single quotation marks:
The latter are the “innumerable efforts “of economising individuals ’’pursuing individual interests.”

The second of these strands is a capability of “being brought into a causal connection” with a human need; the third strand is “human knowledge of this... connection.78

[...]upto 1913. For the first time, he was forced to take liberalism seriously. Mises says it was “further study of economics” that led him to abandon his previous political stance.5
Page 147: second blockquote on the page: aprioristic (fits with the usage in the rest of the book).
“The goal of my analysis is ... to distinguish a prioristic science from history ... and to demonstrate the absurdity of the endeavours of the Historical and Institutionalist Schools to reconcile the logically incompatible.”11
Page 159: last par.: pre-existing
Thus the “historical fact” is that a functioning market order first appeared in the course of history and it was in analysing this pre-exiting historical phenomenon that there developed the systematic study of human action — the discipline of praxeology.
Page 167: Footnote 72 should be Footnote 73.
Page 171: second from the bottom: should be changed to right double quote
Mises reiterates that “action “ means only that “the performer believes.. .the means.. .will produce the desired effect.”
Page 176: There is no Footnote 104 (jumps from 103 to 105 at the bottom of the page).

It will be noted that Mises here adopts the Burkean standard — vide Burke’s observations on the anti-Popery laws 129.

Page 234: par. 2: utilitarian
Hayek made one criticism of Mises on a number of occasions: that he was a rationalist utiliarian, who pushed the “a priori character of economic theory” too far.
Page 238: par. 2: multi-period
Did Hayek work first with the notion of the average period of production and then abandon it for a multiperiod theory?
Page 287: par. 0: jumps from subsection (? not too sure on the term) "iv." to "vi.". Changed to "v."
Therefore, it is iv. instrumental, enabling unknown people to achieve their ends and hence vi. limited in scope.
Page 297: par. 1: patterns
He describes the social sciences as “empirically deductive” — since we obtain the general pattens of social phenomena by drawing out all the implications of people’s actions in the abstract.

In Boston in 1547 and in Chester in 1561, beer was significantly cheaper than ale: the best ale cost 15 percent more than the best beer; which also had more strength, while the price of ordinary ale was 50 percent highter than that of single beer.

Thus Menger explained “social phenomena” as the “’unintended outcome ... not deliberately designed or aimed at by specifically individual endeavours of the members of a society.’”
Page 235: par. 1: presidential (?) (This could be either/or)
Hayek made the above statements some 46 years after he first wrote “Economics and Knowledge” (it was his presential address to the London Economic Club on 10 November 1936; published in Economica, 1937).

[...] taken from Theory and History (p._); Mises says there [I omit a couple of sentences not germane here]:
Page 264: par. 1: Missing page number, what page belongs?
As we shall see (below, p._), Hayek appears to have read and assimilated Ferguson by early 1940, since he refers in “Scientism” to social institutions that are not designed but are the results of human action. In the article on “Planning” (mentioned above), he uses Ferguson’s formulation (at the end of the following passage):

~Page 360: Keeps swapping from "s." and "sh.". I assume both stand for "shillings". In all the other books I have worked on, this has been condensed to the "s." form.

Now with the Oxfordshire and Worcestershire inventories just mentioned, the average value of clothing increased about 2£ times in absolute terms between the late sixteenth and the late seventeenth century, though the proportion declined, relative to other consumer goods.
