" SOPHISMES ECONORIIQUES." rro THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOIL - j

SIR,—Your correspondent " S." is quite correct in saying that Sitnms and Macintyre published Mr. G. R. Porter's translation of Bastiat's Sophismes Economiques " ; but it was only the first part, and not the whole work. Many years ago, I offered to the publishers to translate, gratuitously, the second part ; but the offer was declined, on the ground that the former venture had not been successful.—I am, Sir, &c., W. B. Honcsost.
