Herman Merivale (1806 1874) was an English civil servant, historian
and economist. After graduating from Trinity College, Oxford, in
1827 he was called to the bar in 1832. Merivale was elected
Professor of Political Economy at the University of Oxford in 1837,
and was appointed Permanent Under-Secretary to the Colonies in
1848. These volumes, first published in 1841, contain Merivale's
influential series of lectures on the political economy of
colonization which he delivered at the University of Oxford in
1839, 1840 and 1841. He discusses a broad range of topics related
to colonization, analyzing its economic effects on the mother
country through emigration and discussing the laws governing the
generation of wealth and growth of colonies. His lectures also
include an influential criticism of the Wakefield Scheme of
colonization and provide valuable insights into contemporary
opinions on the economic management of colonies. Volume 2 contains
Lectures 12 22.
