大卫·李嘉图《政治经济学及赋税原理》· On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation · 投资
The same remark may be applied to the excellent works of M. Say, who not only was the first, or among the first, of continental writers, who justly appreciated and applied the principles of Smith, and who has done more than all other continental writers taken together, to recommend the principles of that enlightened and beneficial system to the nations of Europe; but who has succeeded in placing the science in a more logical, and more instructive order; and has enriched it by several discussions, original, accurate, and profound.[1] The respect, however, which the author entertains for the writings of this gentleman, has not prevented him from commenting with that freedom which he thinks the interests of science require, on such passages of the "Economie Politique," as appeared at variance with his own ideas.

白话
李嘉图称赞萨伊（Jean-Baptiste Say）是欧洲大陆最早正确理解并运用亚当·斯密原理的作家之一，而且萨伊把政治经济学整理得更有逻辑、更有条理，还补充了一些原创而深刻的讨论。但李嘉图说，他对萨伊的尊重并不妨碍他自由评论：只要萨伊书中的某些段落与自己的观点不一致，他就会直率地提出批评，因为他认为科学利益需要这种自由。换句话说，学术尊重不等于放弃批评，真正的尊重是把对方的论证认真对待，该反驳就反驳。
上下文
李嘉图《政治经济学及赋税原理》第一章开头，他提到法国经济学家萨伊的《政治经济学概论》，并说明自己对待同行著作的态度。
