Abstract
JOHN ATKINSON HOBSON, who died on April 1, was one of the most distinguished among British economists, although he never held any regular academic post and had to wait until the last years of his life for his fellow economists to recognize the importance of his work. Born at Derby on July 6,1858, Hobson, on leaving Oxford, spent seven years as a schoolmaster, and thereafter for ten years was engaged chiefly in extension lecturing and teaching for the Universities of London and Oxford.
