64will remember him. Here in Paris he worked hard in the area of economicstudies, or rather technical studies. The article I mentioned was written by acertain J.D., who I understand is Joseph Droz, the author of a recently publishedtreatise on Political Economy. 54 But Mt. Julien, 55 who did not want meto reveal the name of the author, told me that it was someone else.―The Globe‖ 56 of January 25 th offered a simple presentation of YourHonor's book and recommended it. The tone of this publication leads me toconclude that, if the editors decide to print a lengthier review of Your Honor'sbook, the review may not be altogether valid and true; but at least it will not beas shallow and general as the majority have been. The fact that the editor hasnot yet gotten around to reviewing Your Honor's work probably stems from hisnormal policy of waiting some time before reviewing any new books. Forexample, Say's 57 Cours Complet has been on the market for quite some time,yet it was only in March that ―The Globe‖ offered an analysis and critique ofVolume I. The bi-monthly ―Revue Francaise‖, though only a year old, hasalready achieved a very fine reputation. It is regarded by many as the numberone literary publication. Yet, so far it has made no mention of Your Honor'sbook.A few months ago a new periodical entitled ―Universel‖ made itsappearance. It is a daily paper concerned solely with new publications. Acurrent issue reviews the work of Mr. Ferrier, 58who is known for his DuGouvernment Dans Les Reports Avec Le Commerce, a book about the systemof trade in England during the 19 th century. In one of the outstanding sections54 Francis Xavier Joseph Droz (born 1773) - A French economist. The work referred to here isL'Economie Politique au Principes de la Science des Richesses, published in 1829.55 Mark Anthony Julien, Julien of Paris, (1775-1846) - A French journalist; editor of ―RevueEncyclopedique‖; defender of the Polish cause and friend to many emigrants.56 At this time, the daily ―Le Globe‖ was already under the influence of the revived Saint-Simonism. A little later, Michael Chevalier, a friend of Bogdan Jański, became the editor andadded the sub-title: ―Journal de la doctrine de Saint-Simon‖.57 John Baptist Say (1767-1832) - French Economist and the author of, among others, CoursComplet d'Economie Politique Practique, Paris, 1828-29, 7 volumes.58 F.
