The late Mr. J. E. M'Culloch, 1864. Engraving from a photograph by Messrs. J. and C. Watkins, of '...Mr. M'Culloch, the well-known author of many books of high authority upon topics of political economy and national finance...[He was a founder and editor] the Scotsman newspaper...not only by his connection with the Scotsman, but by his contributions to the Edinburgh Review and his delivery of public lectures on political economy, Mr. M'Culloch became well known as a writer and a student of that science....In 1828 he was chosen Professor of Political Economy in University College, London, a situation he subsequently resigned; and in 1838 received the appointment of Comptroller of her Majesty's Stationery Office, which he has since held. His "Commercial Dictionary" is, of all his works, the most generally known and appreciated. This, as well as his "Geographical Dictionary," is a monument of vast industry and research. The intervals in which he was not occupied in revising the several editions of these bulky compilations were fully occupied by other literary tasks, such as his "Principles of Political Economy," his "Treatise on Taxation," his solid and well-considered contributions to the "Encyclopedia Britannica" and Edinburgh Review'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
