See Ixcroyables, JEV'ONS, William St.^nley (18.35-82). An English economist, bom in Liverpool. He was a grandson of William Roscoe, the eminent his- torian, ediicated at University College, London, and made a fellow of his college in 18G2. He held a position in the Sydney (Australia I mint. 1854- 59. In 1866 he received the appointment of profes- sor of logic and mental and moral philosophy, and Cobden lecturer in political economy in Owens's College, Manchester: in 1872 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society, and in 1876 received the honorary degree of LL.D. from the University of Edinburgh. During the latter year he was ap- pointed professor of political economy in Uni- versity College, London. Failing health caused him to relinquish his Manchester professorship in 1881. In the following year he was drowned while bathing at Bexhill. Sussex. Few writers of recent years have had a wider influence. His ''Treatise on Logic" substitutes for the familiar conceptions a mathematical foundation of the KvUogism. which has been widely adopted by later writers. Among theoretical economists he is most widely known by his Theory of Political Economy, which develops the theory- of marginal utility which has occupied a conspicuous place in writings of later theorists. His ability was many - sided, and he is best known to general readers by his Iiu^rMirjntio'ns iu Currency and Finance, his Money and the Mechaniam of Ex- change, and especially by his work on the Coal Question, which at the time of its publication (1865) set all England in a ferment. The thesis of the work was the dependence of England upon coal, the approaching exhaustion of its de- posits, and the gradual decline of English pre- eminence in the industrial world. .Tevons's con- tributions to practical qiiestions in the scientific journals were very numerous, and his name is identified with the literature of crises, railroads, prices, and statistics in addition to the topics already indicated.

While a student at Oxford, he was led to favor reformed doctrines, and for openly inculcating them he was deprived of a fellowship at Corpus Christi on Mary's ac- cession in 1553. Later he was induced to sign adherence to a form of doctrine essentially Ro- man Catholic, but he repented of his act, and in l.'joo fled to Frankfort, where he abjured his re- cantation. He lived at Strassburg and Zurich until Elizabeth's accession, when he returned to England (1559), was one of eight Protestant divines appointed l)y the Queen to dispute with a similar niuuber of Roman Catholics, and in 1560 was made Bishop of Salisbury. In 1562 he pub- lished his work in defense of the English Church, Apologia EceUsice Anylicance, which was con- demned by the Council of Trent. It was trans- lated into English the same year, and by Eliza- beth's order a copy was placed in every parish church. Thomas Harding published An Ansiver to Doctor JeiceVs Challenge (1564), to which .Jewel replied (1565); then Harding published a Confutation of an Apology (1565). and was answered by .Jewel in a Defense of the Apology (1567). He died at Monkton Farleigh, Septem- ber 23, 1571. His complete works were issued with memoir, by Featley (London, 1609) ; by Ayre with memoir, for the Parker Society (4 vols., Cambridge, 1845-50) ; and by .Jelf (8 vols., Oxford. 1848).
