何についての本か
スミスが公刊を許した諸論考。天文学の歴史、言語の起源、諸芸術における模倣、その他、経済学ではない主題を扱う。
背景と歴史
これらの文章が残っているのは間一髪のことだ。スミスは一七九〇年、死の数日前に自分の書類を焼かせ、残したいと思ったものだけを救った。生涯にわたる草稿のうち、生き延びたのはこのわずかな束である。もっとも興味深いのは天文学史についての論考だ。われわれはなぜ体系を作るのか——それは、辻褄の合わないものが引き起こす驚きと居心地の悪さを鎮めるためだ、と説く。『国富論』の著者の手になる科学論である。

From the grammar school of Kirkaldy, he was sent, in 1737, to the University of Glasgow, whence, in 1740, he went to Baliol College, Oxford, enjoying an exhibition on the Snell foundation. When at Glasgow College, his favourite studies were mathematics and natural philosophy, but that did not long divert his mind from pursuits more congenial to him, more particularly the political history of mankind, which gave scope to the power of his comprehensive genius, and gratified his ruling passion of contributing to the happiness and the improvement of society. To his early taste for Greek generally, may be due the clearness and fulness with which he states his political reasonings. At Oxford he employed himself frequently in the practice of translation, with a view to the improvement of his own style, and used to commend such exercises to all who cultivate the art of composition. He also cultivated with the greatest care the study of languages; and his knowledge of them led him to a peculiar experience in everything that could illustrate the institutions, the manners, and the ideas of different ages and nations. the Rich and the Great, and to despise or neglect Persons of poor and mean Condition . . 56-60 ----- PART II.
