‘Few, if any, writers on economic matters had read so widely and so exhaustively on the science and substance of their subject—as effectively illustrated by McCulloch’s 400-page bibliography Literature of Political Economy (1845). Nor did he confine his reading to economic questions. A keen bibliophile, McCulloch built up a valuable library of over 10,000 books which, after his death, his friend Lord Overstone bought for £5000’ (ODNB).
