Dr. James Anderson (879 words) |
 | Raised on a farm in Midlothian, Anderson was primarily interested in the application of scientific principles to farming. |
| Although he attended some lectures at Edinburgh, Anderson was not quite a part of the network of scholars of the Scottish Enlightenment, although he certainly imbibed in the scientific spirit of the age. |
| Anderson's 1777 tracts were published a mere one year after Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations -- and it is likely that Smith was aware of them (he certainly was aware of Anderson himself). |
