£650 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

‘Few, if any, writers on economic matters had read so widely and so exhaustively on the science and substance of their subject—as effectively illustrated by McCulloch’s 400-page bibliography Literature of Political Economy (1845). Nor did he confine his reading to economic questions. A keen bibliophile, McCulloch built up a valuable library of over 10,000 books which, after his death, his friend Lord Overstone bought for £5000’ (ODNB).
