Page:Tales in Political Economy by Millicent Garrett Fawcett.djvu/7

 PREFACE.

is hoped that these little tales may be of some use to those who are trying to teach Political Economy. I cannot let them go to press without a word of apology to Miss Martineau for my plagiarism of the idea, which she made so popular thirty years ago, of hiding the powder, Political Economy, in the raspberry jam of a story.

Oct. 1874.
