Abstract

Philip Henry Wicksteed, the author of the Common Sense of Political Economy and the other works collected in these volumes, was one of the most remarkable intellectual figures of the halfcentury which has just passed. He was a leading member of the Unitarian ministry. He was one of the foremost medieval scholars of his time. He was an economist of international reputation. He was a savant who made contributions of permanent value to highly technical branches of knowledge. He was a teacher who, without vulgarisation, succeeded in making intelligible to many the main significance of the various fields of learning in which he moved. Few men of his time so successfully combined such a wide range of intellectual pursuits with such conspicuous excellence in each of them.
