1. I am much intrigued by this article. Moreover it brings home Smith’s commonplace humanity. I find it implausible that Smith did not partake of the romantic pleasures of the French Salon he was associated with in Paris. The women there were in Opera, known as desirable entities among men, who would ave commanded good prices for their services. Neither he and his charge, the young Duke could hardly have been immune to its temptations.
