Smith Adam
AN INQUIRY INTO THE NATURE AND CAUSES OF THE WEALTH OF NATIONS
London: J. Maynard.Haymarket; and F. Zinke.Strand 1811. 3 volumes. Very early printing. This printing now with an Account of the Life of the Author which has been specially drawn up for the first time as well as studies on the author and the French economists of the period and a method of facilitating the study of the work. 8vo bound in very handsome and well preserved three-quarter contemporary polished calf over cloth covered boards compartments of the spines decorated with gilt decorated raised bands bordering decorations tooled in blind one compartment lettered in gilt one with maroon morocco lettering label gilt. lxxi 360; vi 512 513-514 appendix; vi 448 50 pp.extensive index. An especially bright and fine set in very handsome and well preserved contemporary bindings. The text remains very clean crisp and fresh. There has been no restoration work of any sort to bindings or text. Rare thus. AN UNUSUALLY WELL PRESERVED AND HANDSOME SET OF THIS EXTRAORDINARY WORK. Eighteenth century editions of Smith’s magnum opus are becoming very scarce. This edition of 1811 is a very early English printing of the nineteenth century still in 18th century style. It retains Smith’s introduction and also incorporates the author’s advertisements to the third and fourth editions and a new advertisement to this edition setting out the additions made to the preliminary materials for this edition.<br> ‘The history of economic theory up to the end of the nineteenth century consists of two parts: the mercantilist phase which was based not so much on a doctrine as on a system of practice which grew out of social conditions; and the second phase which saw the development of the theory that the individual had the right to be unimpeded in the exercise of economic activity. While it cannot be said that Smith invented the latter theory – the physiocrats had already suggested it and Turgot in particular had constructed an organised study of social wealth – his work is the first major expression of it. He begins with the thought that labour is the source from which a nation derives what is necessary to it. The improvement of the division of labour is the measure of productivity and in it lies the human propensity to barter and exchange: "labour is the real measure of the exchangeable value of all commodities … it is their real price; money is their nominal price only". Labour represents the three essential elements – wages profit and rent – and these three also constitute income. From the working of the economy Smith passes to its matter – "stock" – which compasses all that man owns either for his own consumption or for the return which it brings him. The Wealth of Nations ends with a history of economic development a definite onslaught on the mercantile system and some prophetic speculations on the limits of economic control.<br> ‘Where the political aspects of human rights had taken two centuries to explore Smith’s achievement was to bring the study of economic aspects to the same point in a single work … The certainty of its criticism and its grasp of human nature have made it the first and greatest classic of modern economic thought’ PMM. <br> Smith's classic work was begun at Toulouse in 1763-64 where he had travelled as guardian of Henry Scott the young duke of Buccleuch and in the company of David Hume historian and fellow professor at Glasgow University. The work took shape over the next ten years and was finally published in 1776. At one point during its composition Hume wrote that Smith was "cutting himself off entirely from human society." But his labors however severe his methods yielded the "first and greatest classic of modern economic thought" Printing and the Mind of Man.<br> "It may be said that the WEALTH OF NATIONS certainly operated powerfully through the harmony of its critical side with the tendencies of the half-century which followed its publication to the assertion of personal freedom and 'natural rights.' It discredited the economic policy of the past and promoted the overthrow of institutions which had come down from earlier times but were unsuited to modern society. As a theoretic treatment of social economy and therefore as a guide to social reconstruction and practice in the future it is provisional not definitive. But when the study of its subject comes to be systematized on the basis of a general social philosophy more complete and durable than Smith's no contribution to that final construction will be found so valuable as his" Britannica J. Maynard...Haymarket; and F. Zinke...Strand hardcover

An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. The Sixth Edition. SIXTH EDITION; 2000 COPIES WERE PRINTED
3 vols., 8vo., Sixth Edition, early nineteenth-century signature on titles, some light and inoffensive spotting to a few leaves, some very ight marginalia in pencil only; strongly and attractively bound in nineteenth century half calf, boards in dark green diced cloth, backs with five raised bands tooled in gilt, second and fourth compartments with red leather labels ruled, lettered and numbered in gilt, red sprinkled edges, a remarkably well-preserved, crisp, clean copy in later period binding. One of 2000 copies printed. 'The Wealth of Nations', coming at a point when 'natural liberty' was being being widely debated, had a decisive influence both on the study of national economy and on the freeing of economic policy from the artificial restraint of the mercantilist system. Smith's statement that labour is the source of a nation's commodities and that the variation in 'stock' values are due to the interaction of wages, profits and rent, formulated the doctrine of the classic school of economic thought, and round it all modern economic discussion has revolved' (PMM).

To Which Is Prefixed an Account of the Life and Writings of the Author by Dugald Stewart. London: for T. Cadell Jun. and W. Davies et al. 1795. Large quarto 9 by 11-1/4 inches period-style full speckled brown calf raised bands red morocco spine label; pp. i-iii iv v-vi vii-ix x-xcv blank 1-3 4-93 94-97 98-111 112-115 116-129 130-133 134-184 185-187 188-194 195-197 198-244; slipcase. $13800.First edition of this core volume of Smith's essays issued posthumously featuring the important first publication of History of Astronomy that seeks ""to explain what drives 'philosophers' to ask the questions they do"" an impressive wide-margined volume handsomely bound.Though Essays on Philosophical Subjects appeared five years after Smith's death most were likely written before the publication of his Theory of Moral Sentiments in 1759. Essays was compiled by his literary executors physicist Joseph Black and geologist James Hutton. Prior to his death Smith ""instructed them to destroy his manuscripts but allowed them at their discretion to publish a set of essays"" Berry Cambridge Companion 116. As noted herein Smith had begun work early in his career on ""a connected history of the liberal sciences and elegant arts"" but ""found it necessary to abandon that plan as far too extensive."" These writings thus represent Smith's longstanding attempts at such a ""connected history"" and range over philosophy aesthetics and the history of science. A biographical Account of Smith and his work is followed by the extensive History of Astronomy which was the only writing Smith did not want destroyed; indeed he specifically arranged for its posthumous publication. Black and Hutton used their authority to incorporate its momentous first publication into this collection. Astronomy ""was probably begun decades before Smith's death perhaps as early as 1746 and was at one time intended to form a chapter of a much larger work
Astronomy purports to explain what drives 'philosophers' to ask the questions they do and to seek explanations for the things they observe"" Otteson Adam Smith 22-3. Astronomy ""has occasioned much scholarship
Just as The Wealth of Nations was titled an enquiry into its 'natures and causes' so Smith says at the end of the preliminary section of Astronomy that the design of the essay is to consider the 'nature and causes of the three sentiments""identified by him as ""Wonder Surprise and Admiration."" Citing Galileo Copernicus Kepler Newton Descartes and others Astronomy aims ""to illustrate how philosophy is an activity that addresses itself to the imagination"" Berry 116-117 123. Also included in this volume are his essays on ""Ancient Physics"" ""Ancient Logics and Metaphysics"" and the ""Imitative Arts"" along with a concluding essay on perception in the five ""External Senses."" One of 1000 copies. Containing the first publication in book form of Dugald Stewart's Account of the Life and Writings of Adam Smith which had appeared in the Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1794. Stewart's Account ""formed the basis upon which everyone drew for biographies of Smith that began to appear in the early 19th century"" Tribe 55. Without initial blank. Goldsmith 16218. Kress B3038.

SCARCE FIRST EDITION of the posthumously published essays of Adam Smith. Though thought of today primarily as an economist due to the fame of his WEALTH OF NATIONS these essays demonstrate the diverse range of philosophical sciences to which Smith applied himself. They were arranged and edited by his close friends James Black and William Hutton. Black and Hutton had attended to Smith in his old age and had made his literary executors. Shortly before his death Smith had forced them to burn the vast majority of his unpublished papers over sixteen volumes worth of manuscripts. These few which remained were intended according to the editors as “parts of a connected history of the liberal sciences and elegant arts" but that Smith had "long since . found it necessary to abandon that plan as far too extensive". The range over fields as diverse as philosophy aesthetics the history of science astronomy physics metaphysics music and sensory perception. Most of them were originally written prior to 1759 long before his remarkable success with WEALTH OF NATIONS.<br> Stewart’s account of Smith’s life was the first biography written of him and remains an important source. It was originally delivered as a series of lectures at the Royal Society of Edinburgh. For T. Cadell Jun. and W. Davies, and W. Creech in Edinburgh hardcover

Slim octavo period-style half brown morocco and marbled boards raised bands; pp. 1-3 4-93 3. $3200.First corrected edition second overall issued within days of the same year's first edition of the ""important and influential"" British economist's seminal rebuke of Edmund Burke charging him with a crucial misunderstanding how the political economics of self-interest would best prevent further ""Disturbances and Disputes"" with America urging Britain in 1775 to ""separate totally from the Colonies
to enter into Alliances of Friendship and Treaties of Commerce as with any other sovereign independent States"" handsomely bound.""A controversial figure during his lifetime"" particularly in his views on the economics of Britain's stance toward the American colonies Tucker was well known to Adam Smith and Founding Fathers Madison and Jefferson who each owned copies of his writings. ""Increasingly recognized as an important and original 18th-century theorist"" ODNB Tucker was ""espousing the cause of American separation as early as 1766 before the Americans themselves had considered this eventuality with any seriousness"" To key scholars ""Tucker analyzed the American conflict more accurately than his contemporaries
yet so different were his views from all those around him that he has been noted as
a 'visionary' Trevelyan or a 'fanatic' Clark"" Rashid ""Tucker's Proposal"" in Journal of the History of Ideas V43 No.3 439. His assessment of American independence was not motivated ""by any sympathy for the Americans."" Instead ""their rapid economic growth and dislike of regulation would he believed eventually lead them to separate from Britain through self-interest
and the developing American crisis over taxation touched upon all Tucker's major interests: the need to maintain a mutually self-interested and beneficial trade between Britain and her colonies his dislike of war and mock patriotism and his distrust of political radicalism"" ODNB. ""Central to Tucker's philosophy of economy is the concept of 'self-love' which
became part of Adam Smith's concept of the 'invisible hand'
Tucker regarded trade as Britain's glory
and went so far as to suggest that the colonies should be detached from Britain to allow greater freedom of trade a view which brought him into conflict with Edmund Burke"" Dictionary of 18th-Century British Philosophers V2:898.When Burke attacked Tucker in the famed March 22 1775 Speech on Conciliation with America Tucker quickly responded with Humble Address. Here he marshals arguments and evidence to counter claims that Britain would lose its profitable commerce if America broke free. Tucker contended the ""greater part of the colonial trade was motivated by self-interest and
it was a simple corollary that neither shipping nor navigation could be hurt by the independence of the colonies."" To further support his position he details ""customs-house figures from 1765-72 to show that it was not Americans but Germany and Holland who purchased more British exports than the Americans"" Rashid 454. To F.P. Lock ""Tucker anticipated one of Adam Smith's shrewdest insights that regulations and restrictions impeded commerce rather than protecting it. For Tucker imperialism was uneconomic
Let the Americans be independent and they will continue to trade with Britain as long as British goods are competitive Thus Tucker like Smith denied the economic value conventionally attributed to the possession of colonies. Burke disagreed
in the 1770s Burke still held to the mercantilist belief that exclusive or preferential trade with its colonies benefits the home country"" Edmund Burke I:388. Copies of Tucker's works ""including those on the colonies are found to be in Adam Smith's library"" Rashid 456 and works by Tucker in Jefferson's library included Humble Address ""initialed by Jefferson"" Sowerby 3061. ""Second Edition Corrected"" on title page. With folding chart of exports; rear advertisement leaf. Engraved ornamental initials heading and tailpiece. Preceded by the November 1775 first edition.

Smith Adam
THE THEORY OF MORAL SENTIMENTS Or An Essay Towards an Analysis of the Principles by which Men naturally judge concerning the Conduct and Character first of their Neighbours and afterwards of themselves. To which is added A Differentiation on the Origin of Languages
London: Printed for A. Millar in the Strand and A. Kincaid and J. Bell in Edinburgh 1759 1759. First Edition. Thick 8vo 202 x 123 mm. bound in its original contemporary binding of full calf neatly and very sympathetically and skillfully restored at the back with the original spine panel laid down preserving all but ca. 2cm at the foot a nearly invisible sophistication the original morocco label replaced free endleaves renewed sympathetically with antique paper. xii 551 1 errata uncorrected in the text with an error: 412 should read 413; pp. 317-336 omitted from pagination as usual; complete with the half-title pp. A very handsome copy crisp and unpressed clean throughout the binding strong and in good order the occasional spot as to be expected but truly a pleasing copy of this monumental work. THE ESPECIALLY RARE FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL CONTEMPORARY BINDING OF ADAM SMITH'S FIRST BOOK PUBLISHED IN 1759. A TRULY RARE BOOK AND ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT WORKS IN ALL OF ENGLISH PHILOSOPHY. <br> 'THE THEORY OF MORAL SENTIMENTS was a true scientific breakthrough. It shows that our moral ideas and actions are a product of our very nature as social creatures. It argues that this social psychology is a better guide to moral action than is reason. It identifies the basic rules of prudence and justice that are needed for society to survive and explains the additional beneficent actions that enable it to flourish.<br> As individuals we have a natural tendency to look after ourselves. That is merely prudence. And yet as social creatures explains Smith we are also endowed with a natural sympathy – today we would say empathy – towards others. When we see others distressed or happy we feel for them – albeit less strongly. Likewise others seek our empathy and feel for us. When their feelings are particularly strong empathy prompts them to restrain their emotions so as to bring them into line with our less intense reactions. Gradually as we grow from childhood to adulthood we each learn what is and is not acceptable to other people. Morality stems from our social nature.<br> So does justice. Though we are self-interested we again have to work out how to live alongside others without doing them harm. That is an essential minimum for the survival of society. If people go further and do positive good – beneficence – we welcome it but cannot demand such action as we demand justice.<br>Virtue. Prudence justice and beneficence are important. However the ideal must be that any impartial person real or imaginary – what Smith calls an impartial spectator – would fully empathize with our emotions and actions. That requires self-command and in this lies true virtue.<br> Morality says Smith is not something we have to calculate. It is natural built into us as social beings. When we see people happy or sad we feel happy or sad too. We derive pleasure when people do things we approve of and distress when we believe they are doing harm.<br> Of course we do not feel others’ emotions as strongly as they do. And through our natural empathy with others we learn that an excess of anger or grief or other emotions distresses them. So we try to curb our emotions to bring them into line with those of others. In fact we aim to temper them to the point where any typical disinterested person – an impartial spectator says Smith – would empathise with us.<br> Likewise when we show concern for other people we know that an impartial spectator would approve and we take pleasure from it. The impartial spectator is only imaginary but still guides us: and through experience we gradually build up a system of behavioural rules – morality.<br> Punishments and rewards have an important social function. We approve and reward acts that benefit society and disapprove and punish acts that harm it. Nature has equipped us with appetites and aversions that promote the continued existence of our species and our society. It is almost as if an invisible hand were guiding what we do.<br> For society to survive there must be rules to present its individual members harming each other. As Smith comments it is possible for a society of robbers and murderers to exist – but only insofar as they abstain from robbing and murdering each other. These are the rules we call justice.<br> If people do not help others when they could or fail to return a good deed we may call them uncharitable or ungrateful. But we do not punish people to force them to do good: only for acts of real or intended harm. We force them only to obey the rules of justice because society could not otherwise survive.<br> But nature has given us something even more immediate than punishment namely our own self-criticism. We are impartial spectators not only of other people’s actions thanks to conscience. It is nature’s way of reminding us that other people are important too.<br> In the process of making such judgments on a countless number of actions we gradually formulate rules of conduct. We do not then have to think out each new situation afresh: we now have moral standards to guide us.<br> This constancy is beneficial to the social order. By following our conscience we end up surely but unintentionally promoting the happiness of mankind. Human laws with their punishments and rewards may aim at the same results; but they can never be as consistent immediate or effective as conscience and the rules of morality engineered by nature.<br> Smith ends THE THEORY OF MORAL SENTIMENTS by defining the character of a truly virtuous person. Such a person he suggests would embody the qualities of prudence justice beneficence and self-command.<br> Prudence moderates the individual’s excesses and as such is important for society. It is respectable if not endearing. Justice limits the harm we do to others. It is essential for the continuation of social life. Beneficence improves social life by prompting us to promote the happiness of others. It cannot be demanded from anyone but it is always appreciated. And self-command moderates our passions and reins in our destructive actions.<br> Freedom and nature Smith concludes are a surer guide to the creation of a harmonious functioning society than the supposed reason of philosophers and visionaries.' The Adam Smith Institute <br> The phrase that he is especially known for is first used here and would be repeated in THE WEALTH OF NATIONS: that the rich ".led by an invisible hand to make nearly the same distribution of the necessities of life which would have been made had the earth been divided into equal portions among all its inhabitants and thus without intending it without knowing it advance the interest of the society and afford means to the multiplication of the species." Part IV Section 1 pp. 350.<br> Both THE THEORY OF MORAL SENTIMENTS Adam Smith's first book and his later WEALTH OF NATIONS demonstrate "a great unifying principle.Smith's ethics and his economics are integrated by the same principle of self-command or self-reliance which manifests itself in economics in laissez faire" Spiegel.<br> "The fruit of his Glasgow years The Theory of Moral Sentiments would be enough to assure the author a respected place among Scottish moral philosophers and Smith himself ranked it above the Wealth of Nations. Its central idea is the concept closely related to conscience of the impartial spectator who helps man to distinguish right from wrong. For the same purpose Immanuel Kant invented the categorical imperative and Sigmund Freud the superego" Niehans 62 Printed for A. Millar, in the Strand and A. Kincaid and J. Bell, in Edinburgh, 1759 unknown
