Not identified as such, but from the library of the British economist Alan C. L. Day (1924-2018), a stalwart of the London School of Economics best-remembered for his popular textbook on monetary economics (1957), with a printed compliments slip from the author loosely inserted.

Meade’s inaugural lecture as Professor of Political Economy at Cambridge, where he succeeded his former teacher, Dennis H. Robertson. Meade was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics in 1977 ‘for his work on international trade as represented by the two volumes of his Theory of International Economic Policy (1951, 1955), which together have become the bible of every trade economist’ (Blaug).
