<P>I am not aware of any such translations. However, I did learn from Prof. Don Boudreaux (chair of the Economics Department at George Mason University in Virginia, USA), that someone was translating some of Bastiat's letters into English. I would be interested in knowing whether there are any other Bastiat translations in process.</P>

<DIV></DIV>>Dear Bastiat fans,
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>another fan in Fresno, CA is looking for original translations of Bastiat
<DIV></DIV>>in English, not being satisfied with the Dean Russell version (I thus
<DIV></DIV>>suppose he's talking mainly about "The Law" and other famous essays).
<DIV></DIV>>If anyone among you knows where to find one, please tell him, me, us,
<DIV></DIV>>about it. Thanks!

<DIV></DIV>> > [...], si je n'étais poussé par la curiosité de comparer la traduction anglaise de 1853 avec celle de Dean Russell qui bien que brillante n' en justifie pas moins à mon avis l'adage qui veut que le traducteur soit quelque fois le traître.
