  Dionysius Lardner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dionysius Lardner (April 3, 1793 - April 29, 1859), Irish scientific writer, was born at Dublin.
To this scientific library of 134 volumes many of the ablest savants of the day contributed, Lardner himself being the author of the treatises on arithmetic, geometry, heat, hydrostatics and pneumatics, mechanics (in conjunction with Henry Kater) and electricity (in conjunction with CV Walker).
Lardner is quite an important figure: he is mentioned in Marx's 'Das Capital' no less, and is well respected as an economist.

 Railway Economy
Dionysius Lardner was born in 1793, graduated from Trinity College, Dublin in 1819.
Lardner noted that the shares of different companies tended to move in sympathy as a result of a "want of confidence entertained by the public in the representations made by the directors of railway companies of their financial condition"(p.426).
Lardner’s most important innovations must then seem to be, not his studies of cost behaviours on their own but in relating costs to revenues to formulate profit-maximising behaviour.

 Boucicault Collection- Introduction
Dionysius Lardner Boucicault was born in Dublin on December 26th, 1820, ostensibly the son of the wine merchant Samuel Boursiquot (from a Huegenot family), and his younger Irish wife Anna (nee Darley).
The Lardner and the Darley families had been friends and Anna was just 2 years younger than Dionysius; Samuel, on the other hand was 26 years her senior.
By this time money was a problem, his allowance from Lardner having dried up, and it appears he returned to Dublin in 1840, to work briefly as a clerk in the brewery belonging to the Guinness family, to which his mother was related.
