Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays and Addresses on Economic Questions (1865-1893): With Introductory Notes (1905) It will be seen from my frequent allusions to the necessity for the rigorous employment of this method, especially in the case of statistics, what great weight I attach to constant, industrious dissection of figures. If in the perusal of the following pages it should be thought that occasional presentments of somewhat antiquated materials are an anachronism, I trust my plea may be accepted, that, as illustrations of economic analysis, they may retain some little value. When I wrote The Theory of Foreign Exchanges, I had read extremely little Political Economy except Aristotle and John Stuart Mill, and I have never been a regular student of the literature of the science. Such views as I have formed, and such work in this depart ment of knowledge as I have been able to place before the public, have been, in the main, the results of indi vidual study, observation, and analysis. I feel it incumbent on me, whilst taking the bold course of republishing addresses on economic subjects written and delivered for special occasions, and not as taken from a storehouse of well-thought-out and consistent theory, to make this confession and explanation, so that the reader may not expect such scientific or elaborate treatises as the title might imply.
