HENBY HIGGS, who died on May 21, belonged to that type of economist of which John Stuart Mill was the leading example in an earlier generation, the economist public servant. Born in 1864, he


entered the Post Office secretariat in 1884; was transferred to the Treasury fifteen years later; and served as private secretary to a succession of statesmen. He retired from the Treasury


in 1921; was for a time lecturer in economics at Bangor and, for the ten years, 1929-39, was occupied mainly with work on the “Economic Bibliography”, of which a first volume appeared in


1935.
