ABSTRACT
McCulloch was one of the first professional teachers of economics, and his career in this respect is of importance. He gave public lectures and private classes in both Edinburgh and London and also gave courses in Liverpool; he attempted to secure the establishment of a chair of political economy in Edinburgh; and he was for nine stormy years the first incumbent of the chair of political economy at the newly formed London University. In sum it was a significant effort; and the details are of some interest.
