About John Craig
John Craig was a social scientist.
John Craig of Glasgow was elected in 1818 to the Fellowship of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, from which he resigned about 1840. Otherwise, very little is known about his life.
Craig wrote the three-volume The Elements of Political Science (1814) and Remarks on Some Fundamental Doctrines in Political Economy (1821). He studied under John Millar (philosopher).
Bruce (1938) states that Craig's Fundamental Doctrines was "a performance of considerable merit" and "a whole Marshall in nuce" (in a nutshell).
