Excerpt from History of Political Economy in Europe
The plan of the accompanying translation, from the French, and reprint for the first time into English, of Blanqui's Histoire de L'Econotnie Politique en Europe received from the outset the very cordial approval of the writer and was recommended by him to the publishers.
However much authorities may differ among themselves as to the exact definition of what is called "Political Economy," and even disagree as to whether the name itself can be properly regarded as designating a science, all will nevertheless probably agree that under this general name is embraced - in the form of historical record, or of principles deduced from the philosophical study of such record - the results of the general experience of mankind in endeavoring to improve their material condition; and if their material condition, then also their social, intellectual and moral condition.
