A friend, correspondent and intellectual successor to David
Ricardo, John Ramsay McCulloch (1789-1864) forged his reputation in
the emerging field of political economy by publishing deeply
researched articles in Scottish periodicals and the Encyclopaedia
Britannica. From 1828 he spent nearly a decade as professor of
political economy in the newly founded University of London,
thereafter becoming comptroller of the Stationery Office. Perhaps
the first professional economist, McCulloch had become
internationally renowned by the middle of the century, recognised
for sharing his ideas through lucid lecturing and writing. The
present work, privately printed in 1859, contains eleven
miscellaneous texts. Contextualised by McCulloch's editorial
preface, they range in date from 1685 to 1808, and in content
across the economic impact of building, charity, whaling,
pawnbroking, the Corn Laws and the Poor Laws. Several other works
written or edited by McCulloch are also reissued in the Cambridge
Library Collection.
