Dear Colleagues:
In his Essay (1932, p. 103; 1935, p. 114), Lionel Robbins referred to
Richard Jones, who "sounded the note of revolt against the formal
abstraction of Ricardian Economics" in his inaugural lecture at King's
College, London in 1833.
Robbins noted the source was from Jones' Collected Works, pp.21
and 22, but it seems there is no such title by Jones. Instead, I found
the following literature, which included the inaugural lecture:
Jones, R. (1859) Literary Remains: consisting of lectures and tracts on
political
economy of the late Rev. Richard Jones, edited by William Whewell,
London: John Murray.
Even if Robbins referred to this literature, the pages above (pp.21-22)
do not make sense.
Do you have any suggestions regarding which literature Robbins
did read?
Best wishes,
Atsushi Komine
