 NASSAU WILLIAM SENIOR - LoveToKnow Article on NASSAU WILLIAM SENIOR
Senior was for many years a frequent contributor to the Edinburgh, Quarterly, London and North British Reviews, dealing in their pages with literary as well as with economic and political subjects.
Seniors literary critkisrns do not seem to have ever won the favor of the public; they are, indeed, somewhat formal and academic in spirit.
The author, while he had both good sense and right feeling, appears to have wanted the deeper insight: the geniality and the catholic tastes which are necessary to make a critic of a high order, especially in the field he chosethat, namely, of imaginative literature.

Nassau William Senior (1790-1864) - economist, critical essayist and government adviser - was a highly original classical economist in the era between Ricardo's Principles of 1817 and Mill's Principles of 1848.
Although Senior did not achieve the originality and influence of the leading economists of the classical school - Smith, Ricardo, and Malthus - he did make an enduring contribution on the development of economics.
Because of his varied interests and appointments Senior never produced a full-blown Principles of Economics, and it is only by means of a large critical selection such as this that Senior's importance can be re-evaluated by economics students and academics alike.
