Charles Henry Hull (September 29, 1864 – July 15, 1936) was an American economist and historian.
This edition has become the standard source for referring to the economic writings of Sir William Petty (1620–1687).
[1] He returned to Cornell University to become an instructor in Political and Social Institutions.
He was praised for the “fine edition of Petty's writing” ninety years later by Hutchison in 1988.
[9] The reason why Hull included the Observations on the Bills of Mortality by John Graunt in The Economic Writings of Petty is not immediately obvious.
Although it is more or less generally accepted that Graunt was indeed the author of the Observations on the Bills of Mortality, it is much less clear how great the influence has been of Petty on the essay.
