Liberty Fund is pleased to announce the electronic version of The
Glasgow Edition of the Works and Correspondence of Adam Smith. The
Glasgow Edition was originally published by Oxford University Press in
1976 to coincide with the 200th anniversary of the publication of Smith's
best known work The Wealth of Nations in 1776. Since then, Liberty
Fund acquired the rights to publish a paperback edition which is still
in print and can be ordered from our online
book catalog. We are now pleased to have online an electronic version
of this great collection by one of the leading figures of the Scottish
Enlightenment. Each volume is available in facsimile PDF, HTML and in e-Book
format (PDF).
The Natural Law and Enlightenment Classics collection includes over 40 of
the Enlightenment's most significant—and most unusual—works on
natural law, moral philosophy, political theory, jurisprudence, and theology.
Under the general editorship of Knud Haakonssen, this series comprises works
by Hugo Grotius, Samuel Pufendorf, Richard Cumberland, Francis Hutcheson,
George Turnbull, Jean Jacques Burlamaqui, Emmerich de Vattel, Jean Louis
De Lolme, and many others. Distinguished scholars from all over the world
have edited these volumes, providing concise introductions to place the work
in context. Each text also has annotations, an index, and, when necessary,
supplemental appendixes. As appropriate, the series includes specially commissioned
translations of French, German, and Latin texts that have never before been
published in English. See the listing
of current and proposed titles in the Series with the expected date of
publication. See a list of the titles which are available
online.
Many of the titles in the OLL are in a self-contained, easy to download
E-Book format (PDF). They are either PDFs whcih were used in the printing
of Liberty Fund's
published books (and so are digital replicas of these books) or they
are PDFs created
from the HTML files of the other books we have put online. These E-Books
have a detailed, linked table of contents (or "bookmarks") to assist
you in finding your way about the text. They can also be searched by key
word or phrase when read in Acrobat Reader or Apple's Preview. The E-Books
created from the HTML files also contain essential bibliographical information
such as date, URL, source, fixed pagination) to make citation in academic
papers easier. The entire E-Book Library can be downloaded from here using
an application like Web Wacker (or equivalent).
