Note 12 — Chapter IV · THE THEORY OF MORAL SENTIMENTS

Mr. Rae’s Life of Adam Smith, pp. 148-9. Mr. Rae also says that it contained none of the alterations or additions that Hume expected, and expresses surprise that the additions, etc., which had been placed in the printer’s hands in 1760 were not incorporated in the text until the publication of the sixth edition thirty years afterwards. On the other hand, he says that the Dissertation on the Origin of Languages was added. But the Dissertation was first appended in the third edition (1767).
