Review Quotes: This volume is nicely done ... Smith and Rousseau studies are both in robust health right now, but with only a few scholars who are capable of writing well about both philosophers. This volume will assist with the on-going work of cross-fertilisation, and make it much easier in future for more to follow suit.--Christopher Brooke, University of Cambridge "Journal of Scottish Philosophy"
