 | | Thomas Edward Cliffe Leslie (1827 - January 27, 1882), English economist, was born in the county of Wexford in (as is believed) the year 1827. |
 | | Amongst his ancestors were that accomplished prelate, John Leslie (1571-1671), bishop first of Raphoe and afterwards of Clogher, who, when holding the former see, offered so stubborn a resistance to the Cromwellian forces, and the bishop's son Charles, the nonjuror. |
 | | The first influence which impelled him in the direction of the historical method was that of Sir Henry Maine, by whose personal teaching of jurisprudence, as well as by the example of his writings, he was led to look at the present economic structure and state of society as the result of a long evolution. |
