[Gutenberg 61483] • Definitions in Political Economy, / Preceded by an Inquiry Into the Rules which Ought to Guide Political Economists in the Definition and Use of Their Terms; with Remarks on the Deviation from These Rules in Their Writings

"Remains significant as an early contribution to the methodology of economics ... repays consideration in times of terminological confusion." *The New Palgrave*. "The standard work of the genus ... it contains one of the best criticims of Ricardo's theoretical set-up ever written." J.A. Schumpeter *History of Economic Analysis *******
