I am in the midst of copyediting a new book, The Invention of 
Capitalism, which Duke will publish in early 2000.  In the rush to make 
a deadline, I cannot locate 2 references.  I am calling upon the 
collective wisdom of the list to help me out. 
 
The first comes in this paragraph: 
 
The frequent admiration of Sparta owed much to Rousseau, who emphasized 
Sparta's collectivism and antipathy to trade (see Therborn 1976, 
119-24). Praise of Sparta became a common characteristic of the 
tradition of civic humanism, which held that property was important 
because it allowed the possessor the independence to exercise civic 
virtue (see Pocock 1985a, 115; and 1982, 92).  In this vein, Goran 
Therborn (1976, 122) remarked: 
 
I cannot for the life of me recall the Pocock 1982 references. 
 
The second should be easier: 
 
The author of a similar description of Virginia also reported 
grapes so plentiful that a single vine could fill a London cart, 
potatoes as thick as a child's thigh, and frogs large enough to 
feed six Frenchmen (see Marx 1964, 75-80).
