The most widely used text was that by Richard T Ely, Thomas S Adams, 
Max O. Lorenz and Allyn A Young, "Oulines of Economics". The first 
edition of this book was written by Ely in 1893. The revised and 
enlarged second edition was published in 1908, with Allyn Young as the 
senior editor. The third edition appeared in 1916 and the fourth in 
1923. Young died in 1929 but was involved in editing the first 13 
chapters of the 1930 edition also. In 1926 the first edition of 
Hansen and Garver's text "Principles of Economics" appeared and 
this became a major competitor to the Ely et al text.
