Early life and family edit

Longe was born on 25 September 1831 at Coddenham Vicarage in Suffolk to the Rev. John Longe.[2] Longe was educated at Harrow School where he boarded at The Head Master’s.[2] Longe later attended Oriel College, Oxford where he graduated with a BA in 1854.[2] Longe was a student at Inner Temple and was called to the bar on 30 April 1858.[3] Longe was an ancestor of Pocahontas.[2]

Cricket edit

At Harrow and Oxford, Longe excelled at cricket, eventually becoming the captain of Harrow School Cricket XI team, playing at the famous Eton v Harrow match held annually at Lord's Cricket Ground between 1847 and 1850.[2] At Oxford, Longe played first-class cricket for Oxford University team between 1850 and 1851[4] and Marylebone Cricket Club.[5]

Career edit

Francis D. Longe served on a British commission on child labour from 1862- to 1867. In economics, he is best known for his anti-classical 1866 tract, making him one of the first persons to demolish the Ricardian Wages-Fund doctrine. In this, Longe was followed up independently by W.T. Thornton.[1] Longe also wrote a number of other books including:

  • An Inquiry into the Law of 'Strikes', 1860.
  • A Refutation of the Wage-Fund Theory of Modern Political Economy as enunciated by Mr. Mill, MP and Mr. Fawcett, M.P., 1866.
