My apologies to the list if this source has already been posted.  There 
was an earlier thread on the meaning of richesse in 18th and 19th 
century sources.  I'm traveling with an older laptop computer without 
the SHOE or HES e-mail store on it.  On this computer I discovered a 
.pdf file.  A 2002 annotation of an 1831 text:

Walras, Auguste.  1831.  De la nature de la richesse et de l’origine de 
la valeur augmenté de notes inédites de Jean-Baptiste Say.  Un document 
produit en version numérique par Jean-Marie Tremblay, professeur de 
sociologie au Cégep de Chicoutimi.  Site web: 
http://pages.infinit.net/sociojmt

I have not checked to see if the web site is active or the source there 
for download.  I can send the .pdf off-list if anyone wants it.

The first chapter describes the nature of political economy and defines 
richesse.  My French is too old and rusty to get nuance but appears very 
interesting.

Best regards to all,
