In 1916, Davenport published a book review of Fetter's /Economic Principles/. This followed the publication in the previous year of a suprisingly nasty book review by Fetter of Davenport's /Economics of Enterprise/. Fetter, given an opportunity to reply to the Davenport review, wrote an articled entitled "An Appeal to the Sober Reader" and referred in his first statement to "a record-breaking, fifty-page review."(1916, p. 596) Basically, Fetter claimed that Davenport misinterpreted his views and quoted him out of context. He did not answer Davenport's detailed, substantive points. He ended his reply with the sentence: "Certainly Davenport has added a new terror to the grave if economists must expect their thought to be mangled in this way after they are no longer able to raise their voices in protest."(605) Davenport, H.
