Adam Smith's great work of political economy reached French readers through reprints of English editions; a number of translations directed towards different audiences; and a host of summaries extracts and reviews in magazines and journals.

He provides full bibliographical descriptions necessary for identifying these works and understanding their interpretative agenda as well as extensive quotations showing how translators commentators editors and publishers mediated Adam Smith's ideas. This publishing history also serves as an anthology of contemporary critical response to a text at first marginalized by the government and the book trade then adopted by intellectuals seeking an ideological basis for the French Revolution and ultimately established as a canonical work of economic thought requiring commentary and scholarly apparatus. An extensive introductory essay describes the textual transformation of the French editions and explains how French readers sought in them "a tool for creating a new society."
