==Theory of Moral Sentiments==
The historian Henry Thomas Buckle has the idea that the two principal works of Smith, the ''Theory of Moral Sentiments'' and the ''Wealth of Nations'', are mutually complementary parts of one great scheme, in which human nature is intended to be dealt with as a whole - the former exhibiting the operation of the benevolent feelings, the latter of what, by a singular nomenclature, inadmissible since Butler wrote, he calls "the passion of selfishness." In each division the motive contemplated is regarded as acting singly, without any interference of the opposite principle.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=-T1LAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA258 The Encyclopaedia Britannica], 1911</ref>
