Don Le Pan of Broadview Press asked me to relay this message to the list. We at Broadview are looking to publish key works in intellectual history in new editions, a key feature of which is the inclusion of background documents along with the text itself, to help set it in the context out of which it emerged. We first tried this approach in literature (with our very successful Broadview Literary Texts series); we have now taken the approach with two non-literary texts, Wollstonecraft's Vindications and Mill's On Liberty, both of which have been extremely well received. Other titles we have signed include editions of The Communist Manifesto, Hobbes' Leviathan, and Darwin's Origin of the Species. Smith's The Wealth of Nations is another title we would love to include--perhaps in an edition that would include excerpts from Steuart (drawing on Michael Perelman's recent research), along with other documents from the period. If anyone interested in proposing such an edition could reply to the attention both of myself and of our Editor, Julia Gaunce ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), I'd be grateful. -- Michael Perelman Economics Department California State University Chico, CA 95929 Tel. 530-898-5321 E-Mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
