Abstract:
Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours was a French political economist, writer, publisher, and public administrator (1739-1817). The letters to Carl Fredrik, Comte de Scheffer, of Sweden (1715-1786) were part of a series to supply news from Paris, intended for Gustavus III, King of Sweden. Topics include volumes on political economy, a work by M. de Gebelin, formation of a Polish army, French financial matters, and Anne Robert Jacques Turgot's (1727-1781) retirement as French minister of Finance.
