==================== HES POSTING ====================== 
 
In response to Jonathan Mote's queryRevolution,  
one might try the new book by Donald Winch 
_Riches and Poverty_  (Cambridge U. Press, 1996). 
 
I forget the exact subtitle, but it is something about 
an intellectual history of political economy ca.1750-1830. 
 
Winch has an entire chapter devoted to Smith's views on the North American 
colonies and on the  American Revolution in comparison and contrast with 
that of Edmund Burke, and throws in comments on Thomas Paine among others 
to boot.
