Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Writings of Turgot: Comptroller-General of France 1774-6 This attempt to provide English readers with a fuller and more exact knowledge of Turgot and his writings than they have hitherto possessed needs not much justification. The only Life of Turgot in English is the translation of Condorcet´s work, published in London in 1787, which is now to be found only in some of the greater libraries and a few old book stores. Except to special historical students, the merit of Turgot´s writings remained here unknown until in 1870 Dr. W. B. Hodgson delivered and published his two excellent Lectures. Meanwhile Mr. John Morley had been maturing the admirable study of Turgot, which afterwards appeared in his ´Critical Miscellanies,´ vol. ii., in 1886. This work, like all others from Mr. Morley´s pen, is so artistically complete in the treatment of its subject, that it may seem almost presumptuous, at least in me, to further cultivate the same field. One of my apologies is that some may possibly desire to know more about Turgot´s conduct as Minister than they can gather from Mr. Morley´s essay.
