sufficient proofs of his fitness

Chapter 1 in Adam Smith, 2008, pp 13-26 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Adam Smith became a man for his times, and what times they were: two rebellions, one at home and one abroad; two wars with France and, at his death in 1790, the opening exchanges in a violent revolution against the absolutist French King Louis XVI. In this turbulent context, Wealth of Nations, the iconic book of his name, analysed the slow and gradual revival of commercial society from the 15th century and its significance.
