JONES ( Richard). Remarks on the manner in which tithe should be assessed to the Poor's [sic] Rate, under the existing law, with a protest against the change which will be produced in that law, by a bill introduced into the House of Commons by Mr. S. Lefevre. Shaw and Sons … , 1838FIRST EDITION, 64-pp, 8vo, unbound, uncut, sewn as issued : with a small stamp on title-page and the title and final page lightly dusty, otherwise very good-nice in original state.Jones was an important influence in the development of an anti-Ricardian tradition in economics. He was critical of the deductive method employed by Ricardo and others, and advocated greater use of induction. Like Malthus, he warned of the dangers of hasty and premature generalizations. He was also critical of Ricardian absolutism, although he did not adopt an extreme relativist position. Against Ricardo he asserted the harmony of interests between landlords and tenants, and the role of social institutions in the determination of rents. Between 1833 and 1840 he published four pamphlets on the commutation of tithes and was associated with J. E. D. Bethune in drafting the Tithe Commutation Act (1836). With Frankland Lewis and George Nicholls he was one of the commissioners responsible for implementing the Poor Law Amendment Act. This involved both a heavy administrative burden and much public obloquy (DNB).ECONOMICS; TITHES; POOR RATE; POOR LAWS; ; ; ; ; ; ; ;
