Fawcett.— Works by H enry F awcett, M.A., M.P., Fellow of
Trinity Hall, and Professor of Political Economy in the University
of Cambridge :—
THE ECONOMIC POSITION OF THE BRITISH
LABOURER, Extra fcp. 8vo. 5^.
This work formed a portion of a course of Lectures delivered by the
author in the University of Cambridge, and he has deemed it
advisable to retain many of the expositions of the elementary prin
ciples of Economic Science. In the Introductory Chapter the
author points out the scope of the work and shows the vast import
ance of the subject in relation to the commercial prosperity and even
the national existence of Britain, Then follozo five chapters on
"The Land Tenure of England,'" "Co-operation," " The Causes
which regulate Wages," " Trade Unions and Strikes," and
' 'Emigration." The Examiner calls the work "a very scholarly
exposition on some of the most essential questions oj Political
Economy;" and the Nonconformist says "it is written with
charming freshness, ease, and lucidity."
MANUAL O! POLITICAL ECONOMY. Third and Cheaper
Edition, with Two New Chapters. Crown 8vo. ioj . (id.
In this treatise no important branch of the subject has been omitted,
and the author believes that the principles which are therein ex
plained will enable the reader to obtain a tolerably complete view of
the whole science. Mr. Eaivcett has endeavoured to shozv henv
intimately Political Economy is connected with the practical ques
tions of life. For the convenience of the ordinary reader and
especially for those who may use the book to prepare themselves for
examinations, he has prefixed a very detailed summary of Contents,
which may be regarded as an analysis of the work. The nnv
edition has been so carefully revised that there is scarcely a
page in which some improvement has not been introduced. The
D aily N ews says: 11 It forms one of the best introductions to the
principles of the science, and to its practical applications in the
problems of modern, and especially of English, government and
society." " The book is written throughout," says the E xaminer,
"with admirable force, clearness, and brevity, every important
part of the subject being duly considered."
