A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Kyi rk ;: PREFATORY NOTE Eably in 1793 Duga JdS tewart read at two meetings of the Boyal Society of Edinburgh his Account of the Life and Writings of A dam Smith. Written with the sympathetic pen of a friend and disciple in the Corinthian style that Stewart loved, the memoir was too good to be superseded. A century passed, and in 1896 appeared Mr. John Bae sexhaustive Life of A dam Smith. Mr. Bae scomprehensive researches cropped the ground so close that little seemed to have been left for his successors to glean. But the discovery of Smith s Lectures on Justice, Police, Revenue, arid A rms, edited by Mr. Edwin Cannan and published in 1896 has furnished new and important materials. Of Smith sinnumerable critics and commentators, Bagehot, Oncken, I ngram, and Hasbach seem to me to ft have understood him best. The misdirected erudition of some others has only proved the importance oft allowing him to be his own interpreter. ji, Dr. David Murray of Glasgow has very kindly read portions of my proofs, and has contributed most genTV verously from his wonderful store of learning.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
