She is without home or child, and her time and labour are arranged with military precision. She has her theory of the poor and of what can be done for the poor, and she rides her hobby from morning to night with an equal contempt for the sentimental almsgiving of the District Visitor and for the warnings of the political economist.

Smith was a good economist; although he helped the needy, nothing that his converts could pay for was given to them for nothing.
They were by no means confined to the libraries of the economist and politician.
