FAWCETT, Henry. Free Trade and Protection. An Inquiry into the Causes Which Have Retarded the General Adoption of Free Trade Since Its Introduction Into England.
London: Macmillan and Co., 1878. First edition. Tall 8vo., original brown cloth, xvi, (1)-(174), (2), 36pp. ads dated February 1878. Some scattered foxing o/w an about fine copy.
Henry Fawcett [1833-1884] British academic, economist, and supporter of women's rights. Despite being blinded by a shooting accident when he was 25, Fawcett continued with his academic career, becoming a Professor of Political Economy at Cambridge. In 1863, Henry Fawcett published his Manual of Political Economy and made himself a recognised authority on economics-- his works on which include The Economic Position of the British Labourer (1865) and Labour and Wages, and the above title. Through his campaigning for women's suffrage, Fawcett proposed to Elizabeth Garrett, who declined his proposal as she was attempting to become a doctor, and then in 1867 he proposed to and married her younger sister, Millicent Garrett. Their marriage was said to be based on "perfect intellectual sympathy"; Millicent pursued a writing career while caring for Henry, and ran two households, one in Cambridge, one in London. The family had some radical beliefs in support of proportional representation, individualistic and free trade principles, and opportunities for women.
