You might take a look at Richard Cantillon's *Essai sur la Nature du
Commerce en General* (1755), Part I, Chapter VII ("Le travail d'un
laboureur vaut moins que celui d'un artisan") and Chapter VIII ("Les
artisans gagnent, les uns plus les autres moins, selon les cas & les
circonstances differentes"). The Augustus M. Kelley reprint of 1964
gives both the 'original' French text and the English translation by
Henry Higgs.
[EDITOR'S NOTE: See message from Tony Brewer for an excerpt from
Cantillon. --- RBE]
You will also find valuable information in the edition of the Welath
of Nations as published in *The Glasgow Edition of the Works and
Correspondence of Adam Smith* (Oxford University Press, 1976;
also available in the series Liberty Classics, published by the
Liberty Press, Indianapolis, 1981).
