The First Publication of Dugald Stewart’s Lectures on Political Economy
指出杜格尔德·斯图尔特的政治经济学讲义并非仅限少数学生知晓，而是通过期刊匿名文章传播给更广读者，修正了学界对其影响的认知。
Dugald Stewart’s contribution to the formation of political economy as a science in the early nineteenth century is ambiguous. The professor of moral philosophy at the University of Edinburgh was the first academic to teach an independent course on political economy. However, scholars often assign Stewart a rather indirect role on the formation of political economy as a distinct body of knowledge because he never published his innovative lectures. The article argues that the assumption that Stewart’s lectures were known only to a small group of students is mistaken. Between 1814 and 1815, the London-based journal The New Monthly Magazine published a series of anonymous essays under the titles “MS. Recollections of Lectures on Political Oeconomy” and “Recollections of the Unpublished Lectures of an Eminent Professor.” Comparing these essays with manuscript notes that students took on Stewart’s lectures, the article shows that these “Recollections” were taken from Stewart’s teaching and made its content available to a wider audience.
