     A glance at the history of the Whig division into Country and Court  
Whigs after the Glorious Revolution of 1688, and at the history of the  
echo of those parties in the rise of Republicans and Democrats in the  
United States, and of the Tories and Grits in Upper Canada, and a glance  
at the role that federation was to play in maintaining the unity of the  
Empire first, later of the United States, and finally of Canada, and, yet, a  
further glance at Adam Smith's views on federation as an instutional  
instrument, and some light will be shed on the relationship between the  
thought of Adam Smith and the American Revolution.  But, of course, there  
are many other ways of coming at the relationship between an  
historically relevant book published in the same year as an event as  
momentous as the American Revolution, and the event itself.
