1. Rae's letter of 7 Jan. 1885, inwhich he thanks Foxwell for his favourable opinion, together with an earlier one accompanying despatch of Contemporary Socialism (29 May 1884) are part ofRichard Freeman's collection.
2. After learning that the work of Heinrich Gossen contained a theory `apparently much like mine', Jevons said he was `in the unfortunate position that the greater number of people think the theory is nonsense, and do not understand it, and the rest discover that it is not new' (Jevons to T.E. Jevons, 21Aug. 1878, inBlack and Könekamp1972-81: IV.272).
3. Although no draft of Foxwell's address has yet come to light, he made his opinions on the Ricardo edition clear in correspondence in which he speaks of the edition as `a piece of unnecessary folly' (Foxwell to W.R. Scott, 14Feb. 1930, Kress Library). In other correspondence Foxwell describes the edition as `the last thing I would have done myself, as I think Ricardo has done infinite mischief to England and the world by his inauguration of the Class War, the honour of inventing which, as Marx truly said, belongs to Ricardo' (Foxwell to Henry Beeton, 15 March 1931, Richard Freeman's collection).
