George Baden-Powell, KCMG (1847 98), graduated from Balliol
College, Oxford, before studying at the Inner Temple in London.
After a varied career as a commissioner in Victoria in Australia,
the West Indies, Malta and Canada, he became the MP for Liverpool
Kirkdale in 1885. He also found time to observe the total solar
eclipse of 1896 in the Arctic, and co-write a paper about it for
the Royal Society. He was a passionate advocate of free trade
within the British Empire, and wrote extensively to support the
cause. First published in 1882, this classic work on economics sets
out Baden-Powell's case for imperial free trade. In the first
chapter he sets out his arguments; the rest of the book is devoted
to presenting his evidence and comparing the relative merits of
protectionist and free trade economies around the world.
