Dear  Colleagues:

Lionel Robbins (Essay, 1935, p. 21 footnote) introduced Adolphe Landry
(1874-1956), who defined economics as the science of exchange. 

Landry's  words seem to be "economic life as the acquisition of goods 
likely 
to be exchanged".

Does anyone know the source of these sentences?

I have checked Malinvaud's explanation (New Palgrave, vol. 3, pp. 
121-122),
but no source.

Thank you  in advance.
