My quotation from Galiani's _Dialogues on the Grain Trade_ was downloaded from the Bibliotheque Nationale de France http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k88409r. There are two other works by Galiani there: _De' doveri de' principi neutrali verso i principi guerreggianti, e di questi verso i neutrali_ [Reprod. de l'ed. de, [Milan] : [s.n.], 1782] and _Opuscules philosophiques et litteraires, la plupart posthumes ou inedites_ [with Simon-Jerome Bourlet de Vauxcelles, Paris : Impr. nationale, 1796]. In engish there is a translation of the seventh dialogue [my quotation was from the 8th dialogue], in the collection _Commerce, Culture, and Liberty: Readings on Capitalism Before Adam Smith,_ ed. Henry C. Clark (Indianapolis: Liberty Fund, 2003) electronically available from .THE ONLINE LIBRARY OF LIBERTY at http://oll.libertyfund.org/Texts/LFBooks/Clark0428/Commerce/0437_Pt26_34.PDF Galiani was witty, sarcastic, vitriolic, and sometimes outright obscene, in his criticism of the Physiocrats. See, e.g., F. Steegmuller: A Woman, a Man, and Two Kingdoms : The Story of Madame D'Epinay and the Abbe Galiani [Knopf, 1991]. Only Voltaire was better (L'homme aux 40 ecus). I fully agree with Alain Alcouffe that the Britannica entry is totally unfair to Galiani. Nicholas J. Theocarakis
