Drawing on a range of innovatory methodologies associated with the burgeoning interdisciplinary field of the history of reading, this book explores the reception of books by David Hume, Adam Smith, William Robertson and Thomas Reid (amongst many others), assessing their impact on the lives, beliefs and habits of mind of readers across the social scale. In the process, the book offers a fascinating new perspective on the fundamental importance of personal reading experiences to the social history of the Enlightenment. 410 0$aLibrary of the written word ;$v10. 410 0$aLibrary of the written word.$pHandpress world ;$v5. 606 $aBooks and reading$zScotland$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aBooks and reading$zScotland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aEnlightenment$zScotland 606 $aReading interests$zScotland$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aReading interests$zScotland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aLibraries$zScotland$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aLibraries$zScotland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPhilosophy, Scottish 607 $aScotland$xIntellectual life$y18th century 607 $aScotland$xIntellectual life$y19th century 615 0$aBooks and reading$xHistory 615 0$aBooks and reading$xHistory 615 0$aEnlightenment 615 0$aReading interests$xHistory 615 0$aReading interests$xHistory 615 0$aLibraries$xHistory 615 0$aLibraries$xHistory 615 0$aPhilosophy, Scottish. 676 $a028 676 $a028/.90941109033 700 $aTowsey$b Mark R.
