Political economist, born Woodside, England, 1848; died 1906. He was received into the Church in his youth, and was graduated from Oxford. He treats political economy from a Catholic standpoint, opposing the current teaching in so far as it considers ethics and history irrelevant. His most important works are "A Manual of Political Economy" (London, 1892), and "The Key to the World's Progress" (London, 1906).

It has brief articles also on historical events and personages, on the Old Testament and New, and on popes, prelates, priests, men and women of distinction, showing what the Church has done for civilization and correcting many errors which have hitherto passed for history.Wikipedia
