BIBLIOGRAPHY OF WORKS ON THE
MATHEMATICAL THEORY OF
POLITICAL ECONOMY.
"It is found that there exists a con
siderable uumber of works and memoirs ,
published during the last hundred years ,
iu which mathematical methods have
been applied to the moral sciences , es-
jMjcially to political economy. The mis
taken character of some of these at
tempts , and the prejudice against the
introduction of the mathematical meth
ods into the moral and social sciences ,
have caused these works to be over
looked. Many of them have been long
forgotten , and it is probable that some
may exist which still elude inquiry.
Partly with the purpose of discovering
such forgotten works and memoirs , the
following preliminary list of writings
on the mathematical theory of political
economy has been prepared , and it is
now printed in the hope that suggest-
tious may be thereby elicited for its ex
tension and correction.
"It should be noted that the present
list is not intended to include works on
vital statistics , sanitary science , anthro
pometry , etc. , but merely mathematical
treatises on wealth , value , capital , in
terest , rent , taxation , etc.
