LEVI, LEONE (1821-1888)

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 511 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LEO-LOB
LEVI, LEONE (1821-1888) , English jurist and statistician, was born of Jewish parents on the 6th of June 1821, at Ancona, Italy. After receiving an early training in a business
house
  in his native town, he went to Liverpool in 1844, became naturalized, and changing his faith, joined the Presbyterian church. Perceiving the necessity, in view of the unsystematic condition of the English law on the subject, for the
establishment
  of chambers and tribunals of commerce in England, he warmly advocated their institution in numerous pamphlets; and as a result of his labours the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, of which Levi was made secretary, was founded in 1849. In 185o Levi published his Commercial Law of the World, being an exhaustive and comparative treatise upon the
laws
  and codes of mercantile countries. Appointed in 1852 to the chair of commercial law in King's College, London, he proved himself a highly competent and popular instructor, and his evening classes were a most successful innovation. He was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1859, and received from the university of Tubingen the degree of
doctor
  of political science. His
chief
  workHistory of British Commerce and of the Economic Progress of the British Nation, 1763-1870, is perhaps a rather too partisan account of British economic development, being a eulogy upon the blessings of Free Trade, but its value as a
work
  of reference cannot be gainsaid. Among his other works are:
Work
  and Pay; Wages and Earnings of the Working Classes; International Law, with Materials for a Code. He died on the 7th of May 1888.
