The Adam Smith Review

Abstract

This review is included in the 8-volume collected works that were published between 1853 and 1859 by Roederer's son. The Archives Nationales hold an extensive collection of Roederer's manuscripts, correspondence and other papers (Series AP Archives privées, 29 AP 1-120), which have not been consulted in preparation of this paper. All translations from French sources are my own. 2 This translation was published in Paris by Briasson under the title Métaphysique de l'âme, ou Théorie des sentiments moraux (see Raphael and Macfie in Smith 1976: 30 and Faccarello and Steiner 2002: 64, 70 n.2). The second translation, published as Théorie des sentiments moreaux, was by the abbé Jean-Louis Blavet. A further translation was commenced in 1774 by Louis-Alexandre de la Rochfoucauld, but this remained incomplete and unpublished.
