ENGELS TO STEPHAN BAUER~! 

London, 10 April 1895 
41 Regent’s Park Road, N. W. 

Dear Sir, 

May I say how very grateful I am to you for so kindly sending me the 
facsimile of Quesnay’s Tableau as well as your monograph on it* which I am 
just reading with much interest. You are right to stress the point that, after 
Baudeau, no one understood this important piece of work on political 
economy **” until Marx who was, in fact, the first to raise the physiocrats 
from the obscurity whither they had been consigned by the subsequent 
successes of the English school. Should it be granted me to edit Book IV of 
Capital as well, you will find there a further, more exhaustive tribute to the 

services rendered by Quesnay and his pupils.” 

Tam, Sir, 
Yours very truly, 
F. Engels
