===================== HES POSTING ================== I am trying to find basic biographical information on 33 of the people who reviewed Keynes's General Theory in 1936 (birth, death, position, political career) and there are some people I have failed to locate. I have tried the standard reference sources (Who's Who, Who's Who in America, AEA Directories, JSTOR, ...). Does anyone recognise any of the following names? If so I would be grateful for information. My deadline is very short, as it is to go in a volume of reviews to be published (in paperback at low price by Thoemmes Press next March - end of commercial). **Adarkar, BP (Indian?) **Butchart, Montgomery (American?) **Coe, Virginius (Canadian? Is he the VF Coe who wrote 'The gains from trade', CanJEPS 1935?) **Douglas, Henry (British? probably journalist) **Fordham, Montague (American?) **Stewart, Maxwell (published pamphlets with Public Affairs Committee, NY in 1940s) I am short of dates of death (unless they are very long-lived) for: **Beckhart, BH (born 1897) **Taylor, Horace (born 1894) **Hardy, CO (born 1884) Roger Backhouse ============ FOOTER TO HES POSTING ============ For information, send the message "info HES" to [log in to unmask]
