Evidence:
From the diary kept by George Grote for his fiancee, Harriet Lewin (autumn 1818): 'Having passed a sleepless night I did not rise until 1/2 past 7. Read some more of Turgot's "Valeurs et Monnoies," and also an old Edinburgh Review, on the subject of money [...] I think Turgot has proceeded throughout upon a misapprehension of the true theory of exhangeable values'.
