Volume of handwritten history of political-economical theory in Europe and the United States (may be lecture-notes or copy ready for printer). Appears to have been written by Professor Vissering: probably Simon Vissering, 1818-1888; possibly Gerard, 1865-1937. Dating for the volume comes from the "1871" mentioned on leaf 262.

Howey taught economics at the University of Kansas from 1929-1973. This collection contains family history, correspondence, lecture notes, and manuscripts. The collection also includes index card notes and bibliographic information regarding the Howey collection of economic literature, which Howey helped establish at the Kenneth Spencer Research Library.
