See also:GALIANI, FERDINANDO (1728–1787) , See also:Italian economist, was See also:born at See also:Chieti on the 2nd of See also:December 1728. He was carefully educated by his See also:uncle See also:Monsignor C. Galiani at See also:Naples and See also:Rome with a view to entering the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk
- CHURCH, FREDERICK EDWIN (1826-1900)
- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
Church. Galiani gave See also:early promise of distinction as an economist, and even more as a wit. At the See also:age of twenty-two, after he had taken orders, he had produced two See also:works by which his name became widely known far beyond the See also:bounds of his own Naples. The one, his Trattato della nzoneta, in which he shows himself a strong supporter of the See also:mercantile school, deals with many aspects of the question of See also:exchange, but always with a See also:special reference to the See also:state of confusion then presented by the whole monetary See also:system of the Neapolitan See also:government. The other, Raccolta in See also:Marie del Boia, established his fame as a humorist, and was highly popular in Italian See also:literary circles at the end of the 18th See also:century. In this See also:volume Galiani parodied with exquisite felicity, in a See also:series of discourses on the See also:death of the public hangman, the styles of the most pompous and pedantic Neapolitan writers of the See also:day. Galiani's See also:political knowledge and social qualities now pointed him out to the discriminating See also:eye of See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)
- KING [OF OCKHAM], PETER KING, 1ST BARON (1669-1734)
- KING, CHARLES WILLIAM (1818-1888)
- KING, CLARENCE (1842–1901)
- KING, EDWARD (1612–1637)
- KING, EDWARD (1829–1910)
- KING, HENRY (1591-1669)
- KING, RUFUS (1755–1827)
- KING, THOMAS (1730–1805)
- KING, WILLIAM (1650-1729)
- KING, WILLIAM (1663–1712)
King See also:Charles, afterwards Charles III. of See also:Spain, and his liberal See also:minister Tanucci, and he was appointed in 1759 secretary to the Neapolitan See also:embassy at See also:Paris. This See also:post he held for ten years, when he returned to Naples and was made a councillor of the tribunal of See also:commerce, and in 1777, minister of the royal domains. His economic reputation was made by a See also:book written in See also:French and published in Paris, namely, his Dialogues sur le commerce See also:des bles. This See also:work, by its See also:light and pleasing See also:style, and the vivacious wit with which it abounded, delighted See also:Voltaire, who spoke of it as a book in the See also:production of which See also:Plato and See also:Moliere might have been combined! The author, says Pecchio, treated his arid subject as See also:Fontenelle did the vortices of See also:Descartes, or See also:Algarotti the Newtonian system of the See also:world. The question at issue was that of the freedom of the See also:corn See also:trade, then much agitated, and, in particular, the policy of the royal See also:edict of 1764, which permitted the exportation of See also:grain so See also:long as the See also:price had not arrived at a certain height. The See also:general principle he maintains is that the best system in regard to this trade is to have no system—countries differently circumstanced requiring, according to him, different modes of treatment. He See also:fell, however, into some of the most serious errors of the mercantilists—holding, as indeed did also Voltaire and even Verri, that one See also:country cannot gain without another losing, and in his earlier See also:treatise going so far as to defend the See also:action of governments in debasing the currency. Until his death at Naples on the30th of See also:October 1787, Galiani kept up with his old Parisian See also:friends a See also:correspondence, which was published in 1818..
