Mathematical investigations in the theory of value and prices.
Presentation copy, inscribed ‘To Mr. J.W.L. [sic] Rowe with the compliments of Irving Fisher, March, 1927’, of the second edition in book form, a photo-engraved reprint of Fisher’s doctoral thesis, first published in the Transactions of the Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences, in 1892. This contribution received, on appearance, a glowing review from Edgeworth, who ventured to ‘predict to Dr. Fisher the degree of immortality which belongs to one who has deepened the foundations of the pure theory of Economics’ (The Economic Journal, Mar., 1893, Vol. 3, No. 9 p. 112).
