Child c. 1630/31 - 1699 was an English merchant and politician. He was an economist proponent of mercantilism and governor of the East India Company. He purchased Wanstead Manor in Essex in 1673 from the executors of Sir Robert Brooke and spent much money on laying out the grounds of the manor house Wanstead Hall. John Evelyn described him as "sordidly avaricious" !! Child's advocacy both by speech and by pen of the East India Company's claims to political power as well as to its right of restricting competition to its trade brought him to the notice of the shareholders. He was appointed a Director in 1677 rising to Deputy-Governor and finally became Governor of the East India Company in 1681. In this latter capacity he directed the Company's policy as if it were his own private business. He was a moderate in those days of the mercantile system and has sometimes been regarded as a sort of pioneer in the development of the free-trade doctrines of the 18th century. Though Child considered himself a proponent of the competitive market he simultaneously argued for a government-controlled interest rate and restricted trade among the colonies which would benefit England.

Dickson was born in 1721 at Aberlady and studied at Edinburgh University where he took the degree of M.A. He passed his life between his cherished country employments on a large farm of his father's where he lost no opportunity of gathering experience from the conversation of the neighbouring farmers and the duties of his holy office. Having early shown a great taste for agriculture he watched its processes carefully and made rapid progress in it as he always connected practice with theory. On moving to Dunse he found more real improvements in the art and also more difficulties to be surmounted than had been the case in East Lothian. Observing that English works on agriculture were ill adapted to the soil and climate of Scotland and consisted of theories rather than facts supported by experience he determined to compose a "Treatise on Agriculture" on a new plan. The first edition of this appeared in 1762 and was followed by a second in 1770. This treatise is practical and excellently adapted to the farming of Scotland its first four books treating of soils tillage and manures in general the other four of schemes of managing farms usual in Scotland at that time and suggestions for their improvement. "Probably the most important of the authors of the period". And fifty years later J.C. Loudon wrote "decidedly the best work on tillage which has appeared in the English language and was and still is held in universal esteem among the practical farmers of Scotland". New Edition.
