Two queries on Adam Smith: 
 
1.- On EPS (p. 321) Dugald Stewart refers to a 1755 paper that was on his hands, and that
proved the originality of Smith's WN. I have been checking Scott's 'Adam Smith as student
and profesor', to see whether there might be any link between this MS, which were
presumably in Stewart's hand, and the early draft, or the fragments (the former, first
published by Scott, and all of them now in LJ). Does anyone have any idea about this, or
there is simply no link at all, and Stewart's account of this MS might just be a
historical incognitus, or simply open to speculation?
 
2.- Does anyone know who first coined 'Das Adam Smith Problem'. I have the impression that
somebody coined it before Oncken's famous 1898 essay, but I haven't found earlier
refereneces.
 
Many thanks.
