Book Review.

The next volume in Macmillan's Series of Economic Classes will be a translation of Turgot's "Reflections on the Formation and Distribution of Riches" (1770), by the editor of the series, Professor W. J. Ashley, of Harvard. This book is a brief and lucid statement of the doctrines of those writers who are regarded the creators of modern political economy. Hitherto it has been accessible only in a translation of 1793 which has been discovered to be inaccurate.
