Synopsis

Excerpt from Three Lectures on the Questions: Should the Principles of Political Economy Be Disregarded at the Present Crisis? And if Not, How Can They Be Applied Towards the Discovery of Measures of Relief?

Next to the founder, we are much indebted to the Provost and Senior Fellows of this College, who, by accepting the endowment, gave the sanction of the highest educational authority in Ireland to the new science, and, by instituting an annual examination, with liberal prizes, afforded in creased encouragement to its systematic study. On this occasion, I cannot but express my deep sense of the public benefits thus conferred; whilst, at the same time, I must ascribe whatever knowledge of the science I have acquired, to the encouragement afforded to its study in this University.

I have also to offer my most grateful acknowledgments to the Provost and Senior Fellows for the high honor they conferred upon me, in electing me to teach this science, an honor which, in proportion to its value, has excited my anxious apprehension lest the science should, at a time when public attention is peculiarly directed to its claims, in any way suffer from an imperfect discharge of my duties.

I shall now state the plan which I propose to pursue in these public lectures.

Into an exposition of the elementary principles of the science I do not intend to enter; such principles can be most successfully learned from the text books selected for the annual examination.
