References to Smith’s published works are given according to the original divisions, together with the paragraph numbers added in the margin of the Glasgow edition. For example:
| TMS I.iii.2.2 = | Theory of Moral Sentiments, Part I, section iii, chapter 2, paragraph 2. | | WN I.x.b.1 = | Wealth of Nations, Book I, chapter x, section b, paragraph 1. | | Astronomy, I.4 = | ‘History of Astronomy’, Section I, paragraph 4. |
The Table of Corresponding Passages appended to this volume identifies the sections into which the WN is divided and provides for each paragraph the page references in the Cannan editions of 1930 and 1937.
In the case of the lecture notes we have adopted the following practice: references to the LRBL are given in the form ‘LRBL i.8’ (= volume i, page 8 of the original manuscript), with references to the Lothian edition (London, 1963) in parenthesis. In the Lectures on Jurisprudence we have also cited the volume and page reference from the original manuscript (all of which will be included in the Glasgow edition) while retaining page references to the Cannan edition (Oxford, 1896) where appropriate. References to the Correspondence give date of letter and letter number from the Glasgow edition.
Postscript. The Anderson Notes are now published in R. L. Meek, Smith, Marx and After (London, 1977).
