First edition of this collection of essays by the prominent Irish economist, "about half of which is taken up with Irish questions" (Palgrave, I, p. 201). Cairnes (1823-1875) occupied the chair of political economy at Dublin. "At the height of his career he was probably the best-known political economist in England after John Stuart Mill. between 1864 and 1870 Cairnes wrote a number of articles on the problems of land tenure in Ireland, in which he argued in favour of proposals to fix rent by law and contended that this was not inconsistent with classical rent theory. There is evidence that his views on this and other questions of the day, such as Irish university education, exerted considerable influence on (and through) Mill and Fawcett" (The New Palgrave).

London, Macmillan and Co. The final work by the Irish economic theorist John Eliot Cairnes (1823?1875), often described as the 'last of the classical economists'. A proponent of the classical system of economics 'as it been set out in Mill's Principles of Political Economy', Cairnes 'did not merely accept Mill's doctrines, but developed them in important respects. His best-known contribution was to show that the principle of reciprocal demand, which Mill had stated for the case of international trade, was applicable also in domestic exchanges to explain the determination of normal values in cases such as those where non-competing groups existed in the supply of labour. However, ? his purpose was ?to strengthen and add consistency? to the fabric constructed by Smith, Ricardo, Malthus, and Mill' (ODNB).…
