2360. ECONOMY, Ignorance of Political.—

I transmit for M. Tracy * * * a
translation of his Economie Politique, which
we have made and published here in the hope
of advancing our countrymen somewhat in
that science; the most profound ignorance of
which threatened irreparable disaster during
the late war, and by the parasite institutions
of banks is now consuming the public
industry.—
To Albert Gallatin. Ford ed., x, 116.
(M. 1818)
