Coxe, Tench 1755-
Political economist; born in Philadelphia, May 22, 1755.
He was a grandson of Dr. Daniel Coxe, Queen Anne's physician; was an industrious writer on political economy, and especially upon the subjects of the manufacturing interests of the United States.
From 1787 until his death, July 17, 1824, there never was an important movement in favor of the introduction and promotion of manufactures in which his name did not appear prominent.
In 1794 he published a large volume on the subject of cotton culture and cognate topics.
At that time he was commissioner of the revenue at Philadelphia.
In 1806 he published an essay on the naval power and the encouragement of manufactures; and the following year he issued a memoir on the cultivation and manufacture of cotton.
