concept for a page William Petty Bibliography/Secondary Literature

A comprehensive list of significant (English language) secondary literature on Petty can be found in Aspromourgos 2001, p. 90-101.

I will put this list online, step by step, with online references.

I will make recent additions, based on e.g. McCormick 2009, p. 313-334

I will start working on expanding it to German, French, Dutch literature.
