Adam Smith or Copyright Patent Trademark and Related State Doctrines

Adam Smith: Selected Philosophical Writings

Author: Adam Smith

This anthology collects, for the first time in one volume, not only generous selections from each of Smith's books but also substantial selections from his other work, including his lectures on jurisprudence, his history and philosophy of science, his criticism and belles lettres, and his philosophy of language. It also includes two important letters from Hume, as well as Smith's account of Humes death.
