Minor pedantic note: Adam Smith worked at the University of Glasgow for a time, but he was not Glasgwegian, nor is there much likely to be lost in translation from his spoken scots language to the written page and then to the modern reader, certainly not that isn't dwarfed by the distance in time. This isn't Trainspotting we're talking about.
