 The "Manual of Political Economy" (Stonyhurst Philosophical Series), published in 1892 (third edition, 1907), achieved more success, and became a recognised textbook in English-speaking schools and seminaries.In 1886, he published "Studies in Family Life", a historical inquiry into this branch of economics, with a view to justifying the contention that Christianity is an essential factor in the problem of social well-being.This book was translated into German in 1887 by Paul Maria Baumgarten.
