    Extractions: The aim of this project is to provide original manuscripts and papers of individual economists and organisations of note in the development of economic theory, history and science in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In choosing particular economists or organisations to cover we will avoid material covered by comprehensive printed editions. We have chosen the Jevons Papers as an excellent beginning to this new endeavour. "William Stanley Jevons has long been recognised as a leading figure in the development of economic thought... his papers enable the reader, for the first time, to see the workshop in which they were produced - the personal and public environment in which Jevons lived and the professional contacts and discussions he had, all of them contributing to shape his ideas... they afford an opportunity to study the formation of a mind and the making of a reputation - an opportunity which may have value not only to the student of Jevons’ economic work, but for all who are interested in the intellectual and academic life of the Mid-Victorian era"

    Extractions: Library Home Special Collections Guide to the Collections Date range: 1799-1959. Papers of the Jevons family, especially William Stanley Jevons (1835-1882), Professor of Logic, Mental and Moral Philosophy, and Political Economy at Owens College, Manchester, 1866-1876, and Professor of Political Economy at University College, London, 1876-1880. William Stanley Jevons was a true polymath, whose research spanned many disciplines. His outstanding contributions were in the fields of economics and logic (he has been described as the founder of mathematical economics), but his published writings also encompassed chemistry, meteorology, geology, astronomy, geometry, physiology, sociology and the philosophy of science. W.S. Jevons's papers comprise over 600 letters from family, relations, colleagues and academic associates, including Charles Babbage, mathematician and inventor of the Difference Engine calculating machine; Walter Bagehot, economist, political analyst and journalist; George Bentham, botanist; George Boole, mathematician and logician; John Bright, reforming orator and statesman; William Ewart Gladstone; Robert Harley, mathematician; Sir John Herschel, astronomer and chemist; Alfred Marshall, economist; James Martineau, the Unitarian divine; the philosopher and economist John Stuart Mill; Henry Enfield Roscoe , Professor of Chemistry at Owens College, 1857-1886; and Alfred Lord Tennyson. There are also diaries, notebooks and photograph albums recording Jevons’s activities and career in Australia, when he was employed as assayer at the Sydney mint and also carried out detailed social surveys of the city’s slums, 1854-1859; research notes; and manuscript drafts and copies of his many printed works.

    Extractions: Teachers notes 2004 marks the 150th anniversary of William Stanley Jevons' arrival in Sydney. Jevons was born in Liverpool, in England. He studied chemistry in London, and came to New South Wales at the age of 19 to work at the Sydney Mint. The Gold Rush was in full swing, and his job was to assess the quality and purity of the precious metal from the diggings. This work put him in a unique position, at the intersection of geology, chemistry, economics and industry. Wanting to document as many aspects of life in Australia as he could, Jevons also took up photography, even taking his camera equipment to the goldfields. After five years in Sydney, Jevons returned to England, where he eventually became the first Professor of Economics at University College in London. Jevons began his assaying at the Macquarie Street Mint in 1855, but rather than limiting himself to chemistry, he enthusiastically embraced the potential for a whole range of studies which the colony of New South Wales provided: in botany, through his study and collection of local plants; in geology, documenting the geology of the Sydney basin; in meteorology, writing the first study of Australian and New Zealand weather patterns and researching cloud formation; and in political economy, through his groundbreaking 'social surveys' of Sydney and Goulbourn and speculations on the economics of railway construction. At the same time, he also used the very new medium of photography to make hundreds of pictures of the life and landscape around him.

In matters of philosophy and science, authority has ever been the great opponent of truth. A despotic calm is usually the triumph of error. In the republic of the sciences, sedition and even anarchy are beneficial in the long run to the greatest happiness of the greatest number.

    Extractions: Marginalism W illiam S tanley J EVONS William Stanley Jevons belongs to the group of economists whose school of thought dominated economics for a half-century after the death of John Stuart Mill in 1873. Born in Liverpool , Jevons studied mathematics, biology, chemistry, and metallurgy. His personal interests stretched ever wider to include astronomy, psychology, and, of course, economics. We know from Jevons's correspondence that by 1860 he was working intensively in the field of economics and had isolated the central idea of his later theory: the idea that as the quantity of any commodity consumed increases, the utility or benefit derived from the last unit decreases. A paper setting forth Jevons's ideas on consumer behavior in mathematical form was ignored when presented in 1862 to the British Association for the Advancement of Science and its publication four years later attracted no more attention. But in 1871, Jevons ensured his place in the history of economic thought with his Theory of Political Economy , which based the theory of value and exchange on the principles of marginal utility.

    Extractions: William Stanley Jevons British logician, economist, and philosopher of science. Born in Liverpool, and learned at University College, London. As a disciple of de Morgan, he contributed to the development of symbolic logic created by Boole and de Morgan. He noticed the mechanical character of logical reasoning; he proposed the "logical alphabets" for Boolean logic (which utilize, in the contemporary terminology, the disjunctive normal form of propositional logic), and devised the "Logical Machine" (with a keyboard for input) which perfoms the process of logical reasoning for the Aristotelian syllogism, somehow extended to disjunctive propositions too. He was also a powerful advocate of the probabilistic induction based on the "inverse method" due to Bayes and Laplace, and defended by de Morgan in the Britain. He emphasized the uncertain and probabilistic character of scientific knowledge. The Principles of Science (1874) , in which his view is systematically expounded, is important as one of the classical works on the philosophy of science in the 19th century.

For Jevons, the utility or value to a consumer of an additional unit of a product is inversely related to the number of units of that product he already owns, at least beyond some critical quantity. It was for The Coal Question (1865), in which he called attention to the gradual exhaustion of Britain's coal supplies, that he received public recognition. The most important of his works on logic and scientific methods is his
