ABSTRACT

The theoretical writings on international trade in the Economic Journal fall into three main groups. One group consists of the articles that attempt a restatement of the theory generally, but their emphasis is confined only to those portions of the doctrine which have some bearing on practice, and a high degree of generality. The second group consists of notes arising out of Edgeworth's restatement and reviews modifying the free trade conclusions of the classical theory of international trade. These controversial notes supplement the theoretical as well as the practical portions of Edgeworth's articles. Finally, we have the third group of writings bearing on the tariff reform controversy of the early years of this century. The other restatement of the theory of international trade to be made in the Economic Journal was by Henry Cunynghame. He was Marshall's pupil in the early 70s and was the first student to whom Marshall taught the Pure Theory of Foreign Trade and Domestic Value.
