MorePolitical Economy was the first attempt in our country to present the principles of that science in the form of a text-book of instruction. His aim was to put into simple statement under a natural and methodical arrangement, the doctrines of A damS mith, Say andR icardo, who were in his day, as they still continue to be, leading authorities on the subject. To the public generally the whole subject was new. Dr. Wayland therefore used abundant illustration and frequent repetition in this introduction of the science to youth and practical business men. His effort was attended with remarkable success, and no other text-book on the subject has gained such general acceptance and been so extensively and continuously used. But the forty years that have elapsed since Dr. Wayland finished his work, have been years of wonderful activity and enterprise in all departments of productive industry and trade.
