Lectures on jurisprudence

Book • 1978
Adam Smith's 'Lectures on Jurisprudence', originally delivered at the University of Glasgow in 1762–1763, outline his theory of the rules by which civil governments should be directed.

The lectures focus on justice, police, revenue, and arms, providing foundational ideas that later influenced 'The Wealth of Nations'.

Smith argues that the primary purpose of government is to maintain justice and protect individual rights, while also promoting public prosperity through appropriate regulations.
