THE ESPECIALLY RARE FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL CONTEMPORARY BINDING OF ADAM SMITH'S FIRST BOOK PUBLISHED IN 1759. A TRULY RARE BOOK AND ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT WORKS IN ALL OF ENGLISH PHILOSOPHY. <br> 'THE THEORY OF MORAL SENTIMENTS was a true scientific breakthrough. It shows that our moral ideas and actions are a product of our very nature as social creatures. It argues that this social psychology is a better guide to moral action than is reason. It identifies the basic rules of prudence and justice that are needed for society to survive and explains the additional beneficent actions that enable it to flourish.<br> As individuals we have a natural tendency to look after ourselves. That is merely prudence. And yet as social creatures explains Smith we are also endowed with a natural sympathy – today we would say empathy – towards others. When we see others distressed or happy we feel for them – albeit less strongly. Likewise others seek our empathy and feel for us. When their feelings are particularly strong empathy prompts them to restrain their emotions so as to bring them into line with our less intense reactions. Gradually as we grow from childhood to adulthood we each learn what is and is not acceptable to other people. Morality stems from our social nature.<br> So does justice. Though we are self-interested we again have to work out how to live alongside others without doing them harm. That is an essential minimum for the survival of society. If people go further and do positive good – beneficence – we welcome it but cannot demand such action as we demand justice.<br>Virtue. Prudence justice and beneficence are important. However the ideal must be that any impartial person real or imaginary – what Smith calls an impartial spectator – would fully empathize with our emotions and actions. That requires self-command and in this lies true virtue.<br> Morality says Smith is not something we have to calculate. It is natural built into us as social beings. When we see people happy or sad we feel happy or sad too. We derive pleasure when people do things we approve of and distress when we believe they are doing harm.<br> Of course we do not feel others’ emotions as strongly as they do. And through our natural empathy with others we learn that an excess of anger or grief or other emotions distresses them. So we try to curb our emotions to bring them into line with those of others. In fact we aim to temper them to the point where any typical disinterested person – an impartial spectator says Smith – would empathise with us.<br> Likewise when we show concern for other people we know that an impartial spectator would approve and we take pleasure from it. The impartial spectator is only imaginary but still guides us: and through experience we gradually build up a system of behavioural rules – morality.<br> Punishments and rewards have an important social function. We approve and reward acts that benefit society and disapprove and punish acts that harm it. Nature has equipped us with appetites and aversions that promote the continued existence of our species and our society. It is almost as if an invisible hand were guiding what we do.<br> For society to survive there must be rules to present its individual members harming each other. As Smith comments it is possible for a society of robbers and murderers to exist – but only insofar as they abstain from robbing and murdering each other. These are the rules we call justice.<br> If people do not help others when they could or fail to return a good deed we may call them uncharitable or ungrateful. But we do not punish people to force them to do good: only for acts of real or intended harm. We force them only to obey the rules of justice because society could not otherwise survive.<br> But nature has given us something even more immediate than punishment namely our own self-criticism. We are impartial spectators not only of other people’s actions thanks to conscience. It is nature’s way of reminding us that other people are important too.<br> In the process of making such judgments on a countless number of actions we gradually formulate rules of conduct. We do not then have to think out each new situation afresh: we now have moral standards to guide us.<br> This constancy is beneficial to the social order. By following our conscience we end up surely but unintentionally promoting the happiness of mankind. Human laws with their punishments and rewards may aim at the same results; but they can never be as consistent immediate or effective as conscience and the rules of morality engineered by nature.<br> Smith ends THE THEORY OF MORAL SENTIMENTS by defining the character of a truly virtuous person. Such a person he suggests would embody the qualities of prudence justice beneficence and self-command.<br> Prudence moderates the individual’s excesses and as such is important for society. It is respectable if not endearing. Justice limits the harm we do to others. It is essential for the continuation of social life. Beneficence improves social life by prompting us to promote the happiness of others. It cannot be demanded from anyone but it is always appreciated. And self-command moderates our passions and reins in our destructive actions.<br> Freedom and nature Smith concludes are a surer guide to the creation of a harmonious functioning society than the supposed reason of philosophers and visionaries.' The Adam Smith Institute <br> The phrase that he is especially known for is first used here and would be repeated in THE WEALTH OF NATIONS: that the rich ".led by an invisible hand to make nearly the same distribution of the necessities of life which would have been made had the earth been divided into equal portions among all its inhabitants and thus without intending it without knowing it advance the interest of the society and afford means to the multiplication of the species." Part IV Section 1 pp. 350.<br> Both THE THEORY OF MORAL SENTIMENTS Adam Smith's first book and his later WEALTH OF NATIONS demonstrate "a great unifying principle.Smith's ethics and his economics are integrated by the same principle of self-command or self-reliance which manifests itself in economics in laissez faire" Spiegel.<br> "The fruit of his Glasgow years The Theory of Moral Sentiments would be enough to assure the author a respected place among Scottish moral philosophers and Smith himself ranked it above the Wealth of Nations. Its central idea is the concept closely related to conscience of the impartial spectator who helps man to distinguish right from wrong. For the same purpose Immanuel Kant invented the categorical imperative and Sigmund Freud the superego" Niehans 62 Printed for A. Millar, in the Strand and A. Kincaid and J.

1759150275London: For A. Milar and A. Kincaid and J. Bell 1759. Rare first edition of Adam Smith's first book with a recorded “print run of 1000 copies†Sher “Editions of Adam’s Smith’s Books†13. Octavo bound in full calf gilt titles and tooling to the spine front and rear panels morocco spine label marbled endpapers. In near fine condition. Housed in a custom full calf clamshell box. Rare. Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments his first book is "one of the truly outstanding books in the intellectual history of the world" Amartya Sen. First published in 1759 it laid the foundation for Wealth of Nations and proposed the theory repeated in the later work: that self-seeking men are often "led by an invisible hand… without knowing it without intending it to advance the interest of the society." "The fruit of his Glasgow years… Moral Sentiments would be enough to assure the author a respected place among Scottish moral philosophers and Smith himself ranked it above the Wealth of Nations… Its central idea is the concept closely related to conscience of the impartial spectator who helps man to distinguish right from wrong. For the same purpose Immanuel Kant invented the categorical imperative and Sigmund Freud the superego" Niehans 62. Basing moral sentiment on "the power one man has of putting himself in the place of another" in contrast to Hume's idea of self-interest "Smith was henceforth recognized as one of the first authors of the day" DNB. With Moral Sentiments and Wealth of Nations Smith created "not merely a treatise on moral philosophy and a treatise on economics but a complete moral and political philosophy in which the two elements of history and theory were to be closely conjoined" Palgrave III:412-13. To Smith when man pursues "his own private interests the original and selfish sentiments of Moral Sentiments he will in the economic realm choose those endeavors which will best serve society. Herein lies the connection between the two great works which make them the work of a single and largely consistent theorist" Paul "Adam Smith" 293. In his Theory of Moral Sentiments Smith develops an ethics based on a “unifying principle—in this case of sympathy—which would shed light on the harmonious and beneficial order of the moral world. As such it was of considerable interest to Smith’s contemporaries who were groping for an ethics that would flow from man’s impulses or sentiments rather than from his reason from ‘innate ideas’ or from theological precepts. If Smith had written only The Theory of Moral Sentiments he would enjoy in the philosophers hall of fame a niche not unlike that reserved for Shaftesbury or Hutcheson.†Both Moral Sentiments and Wealth of Nations reflect Smith’s “attempt to anchor the new science of political economy in a Newtonian universe mechanical albeit harmonious and beneficial in which society is shown to benefit from the unintended consequences of the pursuit of individual self-interest. There is thus a considerable affinity between the structure of The Theory of Moral Sentiments and that of The Wealth of Nations. Each work is integrated by a great unifying principle. What sympathy accomplishes in the moral world self-interest does in the economic one. Either principle in its respective realm is shown to produce a harmony such as the one that characterizes Newton’s order of nature… Smith’s ethics is one of self-command or self-reliance just as is his laissez faire economics…. Smith’s ethics and his economics are integrated by the same principle of self-command or self-reliance which manifests itself in economics in laissez faire†Spiegel Growth of Economic Thought 229-231.

1797179182Scotland: Boog junior des. P. Kempson fecit 1797. A very good example of the one ounce Penny of Scotland commemorating Adam Smith. The portrait of Smith is after the Tassie medallion of 1787 which is described by John M. Gray as follows: 'The head which appears turned in pure profile to the right of the spectator shows a particularly full forehead a full nose slightly aquiline in its curve; a long thin upper lip and a lower lip that protudes a little; and a firm well-shaped chin and jaw. The eyebrow is strongly curved the upper eyelid heavy and drooping the eyeball particularly prominent; and beneath the lower eyelid the skin is loose and wrinkled. A wig is worn tied behind in a bag with ribbons showing small curls in front and two large curls at the side which cover and conceal the ear' quoted in Bonar A Catalogue of the library of Adam Smith 1932 p. xxi. The reverse of the penny entitled 'Wealth of Nations' depicts the various elements of commerce; in the foreground of a harbour scene are a plough and a spinning wheel along with other symbols of agriculture and industry in addition to which there are a wool-pack and a barrel standing on the quayside with two three-masted ships sailing out of the harbour. Penny token cast in bronze 35 mm in diameter with portrait of Adam Smith after Tassie on the obverse and scene entitled 'Wealth of Nations' depicting various elements of commerce on the reverse.

He was a friend of such as David Hume Adam Smith Dugald Stewart and Black.<br />Ferguson's 'An Essay on the History of Civil Society' 1767 established his "reputation as a British and a European historian with a Scottish edge. It enabled him to deal with questions which concerned Enlightenment thinkers throughout Europe: the nature of political society differences between nations reflecting temporal and geographical variations patterns of progress and decline types of government and the tension between the 'private' man involved in commerce and polite conversation and 'public' man the politically active citizen. It made its author famous throughout Europe" O.D.N.B.<br />His "'History of the Progress and Termination of the Roman Republic' narrating the rise and fall of the republic as a story of civic virtue and its corruption appeared in 1783 . It won praise from Edward Gibbon and went through two more English-language editions in 1799 and 1813. In the mid-nineteenth century it was still favourably mentioned by John Stuart Mill and reissued in the United States where Ferguson's spirited discussion of Rome's republican heyday appealed to two generations of readers. Two French translations appeared in Paris in 1784–91 and in 1803–10. A German translation appeared in Leipzig in 1784–6. . Although the fame of his Roman Republic was short-lived . it did more than any of Ferguson's books to determine its author's image as latter-day Roman a worthy if somewhat quaint lover of virtue and liberty in their classical republican sense. Contemporaries and posterity came to view him as a moralist of stout but old-fashioned Stoic convictions" O.D.N.B.<br />The binding is not signed but is certainly a contemporary English one probably the work of Henry Walther fl. 1775-1815 as it has his very characteristic double raised bands on the spines. Walther was one of the group of highly skilled emigré German binders' who worked in Britain at this period. He had in his earlier years in London worked for J. Baumgarten another member of that group before he set up there on his own as a high quality binder. In this binding the boards project about 7 to 8 mm. beyond the text block at the top and bottom to expose the gilt rolled tooling on the turn-ins. The double raised bands themselves are separated by 8 mm. are defined by a gilt fillet above and below the pair have a narrow gilt roll along their tops and have a twisted-pair gilt roll in the space between the two bands. The binding was probably intentionally designed to echo the spirit of its content - serious sombre magisterial and definitely not showy.</p> Printed for W. Strahan, T. Cadell ,,, and W.

H.Goerke Die Beziehungen Japans zur europäischen Medizin im 18.Jhdt. J.Jap.Soc.Med.Hist. 20 1974 p.418-388 Johann Adam Kulmus 1689-1745 aus Breslau war Schüler von Herman Boerhaave 1668-1738 und des Anatomen Bernhard Albinus 1833-1721 in Leiden. Nach einer Studienreise durch Holland war er als Arzt in Danzig tätig und Professor für Medizin und Physik am Gymnasium in Danzig und hatte dort für seine Schüler und für Wundärzte die "Anatomischen Tabellen" verfaßt. Durch holländische Seefahrer gelangte sein Werk auch nach Japan und wurde übersetzt und unter dem Titel "Kaitai shinsho" von R. Mayeno herausgegeben. Dieses Buch war der Grundstein westlicher Medizin in Japan. Foundation of western Medicine in Japan! The rare Latin edition printed in Amsterdam of "Die Anatomische Tabellen". The Compendium became very well-known and wide-spread and it was the first anatomical compendium of modern medicine v. Goecke. The first edition is extremely rare since it was only designed for the use of Kulmus' students. The "Anatomische Tabellen" were even translated into Japanese. After the Japanese physicians MAYENO RYOTAKU 1723-1804 GENPAKU SUGITA 1733-1817 and JUN'AN NAKAGAWA 1739-1786 had convinced themselves the 4th of March 1771 in Kotsukappara near Edo by the dissection of an executed about 50 years old Japanese woman Aocha-Baba Mother Green Tea that those "Tabellen" presented the true anatomical relations thus demonstrated that anatomy as it had been taught in Japan up to that time was false. "The book in no way differed from what we saw before us. If we could translate parts of this Tâheru Anatomia we could gain a clear understanding entirely and advance medicine beyond its present level." Genpaku Sugita Rangaku katohajime 1815. So Kaitai Shinsho New Book on Human Dissections was the first complete translation of a medical work which originated on a German text. It represented an empirical approach to nature which was undermining the prestige of Chinese medicine in Japan. It took about 4 years and eleven attempts to translate it and was edited by GENPAKU SUGITA in 1774. The translator MAYENO RYOTAKU didn't sign it because of his extreme modesty. -cf. Hirsch-H.
