What can he added to the happiness of the man who is in health, who is out of debt, and has a clear conscience? To one in this situation, all accessions of fortune may properly be said to be superfluous; and if he is much elevated upon account of them, it must be the effect of the most frivolous levity. This situation, however, may very well be called the natural and ordinary state of mankind.

Take it from me,

This review is from: The Theory Of Moral Sentiments (Paperback)
Granted, the Theory of Moral Sentiments embraces Smith's ideas during the Enlightenment, but this SPECIFIC EDITION, (THE YELLOW COVER BY KESSINGER PUBLISHING)is a mere PAMPHLET, A SAMPLE of a complete version of the real Theory of Moral Sentiments. I had a class today, and all the TA's were asking why I got a "children's book"... no seriously it looks like one.
For all of you interested in Smith or looking for the textbook for class, get OTHER editions of this book. HEED this WARNING. MUST. CP.

This review is from: The Theory Of Moral Sentiments (Paperback)
I guess it says so somewhere in the fine print, perhaps even in the medium sized print. But I just wanted a copy of TMS and this one seemed reasonably cheap. So I bought it. It's a pamphlet consisting of the first 'book' or chapter. In other words, sold as TMS it's a hoax - probably about a third to a fifth of the actual book.
And I'm in Australia so I doubt there's any mileage in returning it. TMS is a great book. This is not.

This is not the complete book. It's only 60 pages, when the full book is 600 pages. Do not buy this edition.
