About This Item
First edition.
The Scottish educational reformer and political economist William Ballantyne Hodgson (1815-1880) matriculated at the University of Edinburgh when only 14 years old. He first supported himself by lecturing on literature, education and phrenology before being appointed secretary to the Mechanics' Institute of Liverpool in 1839. He was instrumental in establishing a girls' school as part of the Liverpool Institute and was appointed its principal. He held subsequent posts as a school principal and argued for the education of women at the Royal Institution of Manchester. After traveling to Paris where he attended classes at the College of Surgeons, he returned to Edinburgh to lecture on physiology. In 1854 he lectured on economic science at the Royal Institution in London. Hodgson was examiner in political economy at London University from 1863 to 1868. Despite retiring in 1870, he took the position when appointed to the new Chair of political economy and mercantile law at the University of Edinburgh in 1871. Hodgson was subsequently appointed president of the Educational Institute of Scotland in 1875.
