Recensioner i media

'The editor and the publisher have done well, I believe, in bringing so much of Edgeworth's work to renewed notice. Some of this work was originally published in very out-of-the-way locations. The editor deserves the thanks of the scholarly community for the thoroughness of his searches.'
