Biographical History
British economist and clergyman.
English clergyman and economist.
Josiah Tucker (1712-1799) was born in Wales and was successively curate and rector in Bristol, where he formed a great interest in matters of trade and politics. In 1758 he was appointed Dean of Gloucester. He produced a large number of pamphlets on religious, political, and economic subjects.
Josiah Tucker (1713-1799), was a key political and economic writer and controversialist of the 18th century. Although his Welsh origins were obscure he was educated at the grammar school at Ruthin in Denbighshire, before entering St John's College, Oxford, as an exhibitioner in 1733. He graduated BA in 1736, and went on to take holy orders, graduating MA in 1739 and DD in 1755. Appointed vicar of St Stephen's, Bristol in 1737, his first published work, an attack on Methodism, appeared in 1739, but the scope of his comment broadened rapidly and he eventually produced over 40 books and pamphlets on political and economic issues. An avowed controversialist, he was content to be unpopular, being burned in effiigy in central Bristol for supporting Jewish naturalization. From 1758 he was appointed Dean of Gloucester, and divided his time between this city and his parish in Bristol. In the 1770s the topic dominating his attention was the question of the independence of Britain's North American colonies, leading to two notable works: 'Cui bono?' and 'A treatise concerning civil government' (both 1781). Although his output declined in the later decades of his life, his interest continued and he remained a respected figure. He relinquished his post in Bristol in 1793 as his health declined, and died as the reult of a stroke in Gloucester. He is buried in the Cathedral.
English economist and divine.
