47 papers in 17 volumes, plus many dozens of other papers in varied areas. Contains contributions by Malthus (4), Brougham (21), Horner (8), Jeffrey (3), Napier (2), Ellis (1), Allen (4), Alex. Hamilton (1), Buchanan (1), James Mill (1), Mackintosh (1). The Edinburgh Review was “the closest thing Great Britain had to an economic journal” (Fetter, “The Authorship of Economic Articles in the Edinburgh Review, 1802-47”, in the Journal of Political Economy, 1953).
8.5”x 5.25”, vols 1-17. All bound in the same nice cloth. Text has some browning and foxing; bindings nearly as-new. It seems unlikely, but all of these are Second through 11th editions, published between 1812 to 1821; the originals being 1802-1811.
(Note: all of this information regarding authorship–including the use of teh parenthetic “possibly” and “probably” is taken from the terrific piece of research by Fetter, noted above.)
