phrase laissez faire, used in the economic sense, and universally
ascribed to de Gournay, usually coupled with the companion phrase
laissez passer, may have had an earlier origin in some form, as he
seems to affiliate these expressions upon what he refers to as “le
mot de M. Gendre à M. Colbert, laissons-nous faire." In another
article in the same volume (pp. 309–320) entitled: Sur les Econo-
mistes, Turgot says (p. 311) of de Gournay : "Il en conclut qu'il

ne fallait jamais rançonner ni réglementer le commerce.
cet axiome: Laissez faire et laissez passer."

manifold inconsistencies and hypocricies were under discussion.

The saying that language was given us to conceal our thoughts is commonly ascribed to Talleyrand, but as he was born in 1754 and this dialogue was written in 1766 it must antedate any utterance of the former. Moreover, In The Bee of Oct. 20, 1759, Goldsmith wrote: "The true use of speech is not so much to express our wants as to conceal them"; and in one of the sermons of Robert South (1676) occurs the following sentence: "Speech was given to the ordinary sort of men whereby to communicate their mind; but to wise men whereby to conceal it.” WARD, LESTER F.

The principle of female superiority, or the law that, biologically considered, the female is the primary sex and the male only secondary or accessory, was first set forth in this paper. It resulted from some quasi-humorous, postprandial remarks at the Six o'clock Club, at Willard's Hotel, Washington, on April 26, 1888. These remarks were briefly reported for the St. Louis Globe, but, inadvertently or otherwise, were credited to Prof. C. V. Riley. I have only seen this item as copied from the Globe by the Household Companion (Boston, June, 1888). It is but just to Prof. Riley to say that he admits the error and waives all claim to the idea, and also that he concedes that the principle is sustained by the facts of entomology. This principle is considered in Chap. XIV of the present work, pages 86, 87.
