The Theory of Moral Sentiments was first published in 1759, when its author was thirty-six; the Wealth of Nations in 1776, when he was fifty-three. The success of the latter soon eclipsed that of his first work, but the wide celebrity which soon attended the former is attested by the fact of. the sort of competition that ensued for translating it into French. read more about Adam Smith Wealth of Nations Wealth of Nations pdf zipped The Theory of Moral Sentiments Other Published Works of Adam Smith Lectures on Justice, Police, Revenue and Arms, Delivered in the University of Glasgow reported by a student in 1763, edited by Edwin Cannan (Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1896).
