A Critical Bibliography of Adam Smith cover

This critical bibliography of Adam Smith takes as its starting point the Kress Library of Business and Economics’ 1939 catalogue of its Vanderblue Collection of Smithiana. Since the bicentenary of The Wealth of Nations in 1976, the rate of international publication markedly accelerated, significantly extending the scope of this bibliography beyond 1939. Its scope has been further enlarged via the inclusion of essays on the diffusion process while the inclusion of all works in the chronological main bibliography gives an overview of the scope of this process. The notes appended to the entries provide a running commentary to the gathering pace of publication and the entries are organised chronologically with systematic annotation throughout.

'A more eloquent monument to the influence of Smith on the modern world could hardly be imagined; this volume will prove of immeasurable value in assessing this influence.' Studies in English Literature, 1500-1900 '...the product of extensive scholarly detective work, [this book is] essential reading for all serious Smith scholars, and it further deserves to be in the selves of historians of economics.' History of Political Economy
