Summary, etc. This is a (considerably expanded) version of what I gave as the Gregynog lectures at the University of Wales (Aberyst wyth) in November 1967.

For seven years, at Manchester, we were the closest of colleagues; and later, after his retirement, I had him as a neighbour. Through him I could keep in touch with the circle of economic historians; I was encouraged to keep up my reading in the Economic History Review, since I could discuss it with him; I was even encouraged to develop views of my own,
