so, and we will take upon ourselves to say, that no where will a work be found which gives, in so small a compass, and at so cheap a rate, a complete knowledge of political economy.”Revue Ency. vol 13, p. 428. -Traité d'Economie politique, ou simple exposition de la manière dont se forment, se distribuent et se consomment les richesses. Cinquième édition, augmentée d'un volume, et auquel se trouve joint un Epitome des principes fondamentaux de l'Economie politique, &c. Paris, 1826, 3 vols. 8vo. "Whilst Benjamin Constant affirms that labour is the unique support of modern nations, M. Montlosier takes a historic view of the subject, and shews that these nations have been also created by labour; and M. Say, reproducing in a more luminous point of view, the ideas of Smith on the wealth of nations, shews, in a scientific manner, that all our physical wealth is the result of labour, and obliges us to consider labour on the most extensive scale, that is, the whole efforts of the human species, as the fundamental support of society."-Revue Ency. vol. 33, p. 373. SISMONDI (Simonde de). -Nouveaux Principes d'Economie politique, ou de la richesse dans ses rapports avec la population. Paris, 1827, 2 vols. 8vo. "The object of this work, (says the author) is to develope and establish the principles of Adam Smith. * Upon the whole, we do not think M. de Sismondi has succeeded in his object. It was impossible, however, for an author of such distinguished talents to fill two octavo volumes, without submitting, in his work, a number of important facts, elevated views, and scientific results."-Revue Ency. vol. 34, pp, 602-622.
