Abstract

Bonamy Price was Drummond Professor of Political Economy at Oxford for nearly 20 years from 1868 until his death in 1888. He published several collections of lectures and a notable volume of articles covering churchmanship, constitutional questions, education and political economy. Having taught mathematics and classics at Rugby School, he applied for the chair of Greek at Edinburgh before gaining the Drummond Chair in a hard-fought election. Price was a sceptic of applying a scientific method to a subject where he thought enlightened common sense should prevail. Whilst a prospective reformer of tradition in Oxford tuition, he left no great mark on its teaching. Yet he was often quoted as an authority as well as for the independence of his thought in the Parliament of his day.
