Economics in the Rear-View Mirror provides links to scans of important works of economics up to 1900 and from the twentieth century. This post begins a series of links to reprints of important economics texts.
Jacob Hollander of the Johns Hopkins University was, like E. R. A. Seligman of Columbia University, a great collector of old and rare economics books and pamphlets. Elsie A. G. Marsh compiled a catalogue of Hollander’s economic library (addenda).
Below you will find links to early collections of letters of David Ricardo edited by Hollander that are followed by links to a dozen tracts edited and published by Hollander.
