For several years I have been teaching courses in the history of economic thought in Toulouse. I don't forget to mention that Adam Smith stayed in Toulouse several months. Unfortunately I cannot find any traces of this visit in the local archives. As far as I remember, when I looked at the index of his correspondence, Toulouse is scarcely mentioned in a letter to Hume, even if he celebrates the management of the Canal du Midi in the Wealth of Nations. I wonder if there is any evidence that he could have met Etienne Charles Lomenie de Brienne, who was archbishop of Toulouse (1763?88)? (Unfortunately I do not have any edition of Smith's correspondence at hand and forgot to check it when I had). I will be thankful for your help and any other suggestions. Alain Alcouffe
