The Principles of Political Economy

Henry Sidgwick

The State of the Text

At present we have the text of the third book of the Principles, but the footnotes are not yet linked in, and the cross reference links are not yet made. The rest of the text has been digitized, but not yet proofread. We will do the notes and cross-references for book III first, then add the rest of the text.

The Source of the Text

This text was digitized from the Second (1887) edition published by MacMillan and Company, London. (This was the final edition, so far as I know [Paul Lyon]).
