I have a reference to a course, The History of Economics, taught 
at a new, Midwestern university in 1915.  The text is said to be HISTORY 
OF ECONOMIC THOUGHT. The author, Haney. 
 
I was aware of Gide and Rist's text from the first decade of the century, and I know that
Cannan had produced what could be used as a text in the 1920s.  But the reference that I
have mentioned suggests that History of Economics was commonly taught in the first and
second decades of the century, and that there were texts available.
 
So, the question is, when and where was History of Economic Thought taught as a separate
subject, and what texts were available for such courses, in the thirty year period from
1890 to 1920?  If anyone wants to push the answer back beyond 1890 or forward beyond 1920,
or wants to take it outside of the United States, please do.  Any little tidbit of
information would be interesting, at least, interesting to me.
