SAY Jean-Baptiste (1767-1832) économiste.
L.A.S. "J.B. Say", Paris, October 19, to Marc-Antoine JULLIEN of Paris| 2 pages and a quarter in-4, address.
He explains to the director of the Revue Encyclopédique why his name is among the contributors to the Revue Européenne, but only for the English edition, because he will not give any articles "that can be translated & inserted in the French edition. He works on "the article from the Antologia on the Greeks", which he will give for the November issue.
But he is not happy to see his "excerpt from the Voyage d'Angleterre" delayed for a month, because it "will become completely outdated. Seeing the serious articles multiplying in the Revue, I thought I was working in its interests by doing a lighter article, although less instructive. Fear that the work will become sad| and since you have abundant material, reject those which are heavy without being very instructive. You should at least have in each book a purely literary article marked "au bon coin". He will not be able to say anything about Mr. Muiron's book, "because it is impossible for me to understand anything, starting with the title"...
Attached is a L.A.S. from the mechanic Georges OBERHAUSER to M. Rey in Issoudun, [1841], about a microscope, with sketch (3 p. in-4, address).
