Best.-Nr. 89215Modern Library. Cloth with dust jacket. lx 976 pages. Text in English. Clean copy with signs of use to the dust jacket. The author of Wealth of Nations Adam Smith a political economist and moral philosopher was born in Kirkcaldy Scotland June 5 1723. When he was fourteen he was sent to the University of Glasgow where he studied under Francis Hutcheson. In 1740 he went to Oxford where he was Snell exhibitioner at Balliol College where he worked until 1746. After leaving Oxford Adam Smith gave lectures on English Literature and Economics and in 1751 became Professor of Logic at Glasgow and in 1752 Professor of Moral Philosophy. His reputation increased rapidly with his publication in 1759 of the Theory of the Moral Sentiments. This notoriety won him the appointment as tutor to the third Duke of Buccleuch. This opportunity allowed him to spend three years in France where he made the acquaintance of many of that countrys intellectual leaders. Adam Smith returned to Kirkcaldy and London in 1766 and began his work on The Wealth of Nations which he completed in 1776. The work contains five books on Political Economy and saw immediate success and in a few years had taken an authoritative place with both philosophers and men of affairs. Wealth of Nations was judged to be a new science. With many volumes of historical knowledge and its principles were assembled by Adam Smith with amazing common sense and ingenuity. Withstanding two centuries of doubt and speculation criticism and new facts and experiences Wealth of Nations is still recognized today as the best explanation and defense of the principles of the science of economics. Adam Smiths conclusions differed with the previous economic thought. Smith believed Mans self-interest is Gods providence. He held the belief that If government abstained from interfering with free competition industrial problems would work themselves out and the practical maximum efficiency would be gained. He applied this same doctrine to international relations and it is the definitive argument for free trade. Modern Library hardcover

1773Best.-Nr. 163912London: Printed for T. Caddel; and A. Kincaid W. Creech and J. Bell Edinburgh. 1773. Fourth edition of this key Scottish Enlightenment text. This copy belonged to Francis Maseres 1731-1824 the second attorney general of the province of Quebec a member of the Royal Society and a baron of the exchequer. His ownership inscription is on the first blank along with a couple of annotations in ink on the initial leaves. Maseres who was admitted to the Inner Temple in 1750 was appointed attorney general of Quebec in 1766 three years after the French had ceded French Canada. Although only serving until 1769 Maseres remained proactive in issues surrounding the province throughout his life. He campaigned to admit representatives from the American colonies into the House of Commons as well as for the establishment of a Protestant house of assembly in Quebec itself. "Ferguson's international reputation was secured" through the publication of the Essay: "his masterpiece" Encyclopedia of Philosophy III p. 604. His thought offered a synthesis of scientific anthropological and historical resources developing an argument on the fortunes of polities which drew on Scottish contemporaries such as Hume and Adam Smith as well as philosophers of virtù like Machiavelli and Montesquieu. The Essay had a significant influence on the formation of modern sociology and his contemplation on the division of labour would later capture the attention of Karl Marx.
