FINAL EDITORIAL NOTE
N2  - Lionel Robbins (1898-1984) is best known to economists for his Essay on the Nature and Significance of Economic Science (1932 and 1935). To the wider public he is well known for the 'Robbins Report' of the 1960s on Higher Education, which recommended a major expansion of university education in Britain.

Generations of students remember his lectures for their clarity and comprehensiveness and for his infectious enthusiasm for his subject
