Nassau W.Senior 1790-1864: Critical Essayist, Classical Economist and Adviser of Governments

This new revised edition of The Life and Times of Nassau W. Senior (1943), is a biography of the "tutor general of the Whigs" tracing the development of Senior's many-faceted career, his contemporaries and his influence--especiallly in the role of adviser to government commissions--based on the author's discovery of a large quantity of hitherto unknown Senior manuscripts. The appendix contains reports, correspondence and lectures which provide insight into the development of Senior's thought on social and economic topics.
