The Theory of Moral Sentiments

The Theory of Moral Sentiments, first published 1759. Held here as a scanned 1777 edition from the Internet Archive. The scan is the record: it carries the typesetting, the plates and the date on the title page, none of which survive reflowing into plain text.

Public domain. First published 1759, and the scanned 1777 edition is itself published on or before 1929, so it is out of copyright in the United States. No exception is claimed and none is needed.
