Other works represented in this volume are The History of Astronomy, Lectures on Jurisprudence, The Theory of Moral Sentiments, and Smith's correspondence with David Hume. Before each of Smith's writings, Robert Heilbroner presents a discussion which will both interest the scholar and clarify the work for the non-specialist.
