 d'economie politique" (1896); "La question de la popula- 

 tion" (1913); and "Traite de la science des finances" 

 (2 vols., 1879-1912). LEVASSEUR occupies the first 

 place in economic history with scholarly general treatises: 

 "Histoire des classes ouvrieres et de 1'industrie en France 

 avant 1789" (1859-1901); "Histoire des classes ouvrieres 

 . de 1789 a 1870" (1867-1904); "La population 

 francaise" (1889-92); "La France et ses colonies" (1890); 

 "Histoire du commerce de la France" (1911-12); in 

 addition to these general treatises he has also published 

 a number of minor works on economics and geography. 

 GIDE has written upon social problems: "La Coopera-

 to financial history, though both have published in other 

 fields. COLSON is an authority of note upon railroads. 

 His book "Transports et tarifs" (1906) is well known,

 tramways" is of importance. With MARLIO, one of the 

 younger men, Colson presented a notable paper to the 

 International Congress on railroads in 1910. RENAUD 

 has written much on contemporary labor problems, and, 

 in addition, has published a study in Florentine history,
