dc.description.abstractFirst paragraph: “We need not be surprised … that the Cartesian philosophy …, though it does not perhaps contain a word of truth, … should nevertheless have been so universally received by all the Learned in Europe at that time. … [They] greedily receive[d] a work which we justly esteem one of the most entertaining Romances that has ever been wrote.” LRBL ii.134 I have selected this quotation for special attention because we can identify from it and the surrounding passages in the Lectures on Rhetoric and Belles Lettres (Smith [1762–63] Reference Smith and Bryce1983; LRBL) key elements of Adam Smith’s philosophy of science. At the same time the quotation provides an example of Smith’s own arresting use of rhetoric.en_UK
