Volume III was published in 1894, Vol. II in 1885. Therefore, Wicksteed
could only have seen Volume I. (Unless Engels showed him the unpublished
manuscripts ;-)) So I take it from the discrepency between the
superlative adjective and the narrow focus that you weren't impressed?
In his introduction to the collected works, Steedman writes that "some
writers have regarded Bohm Bawerk?s later attack on the labour theory of
value, of 1896, as inferior to that of Wicksteed."
