Can anybody provide information about the expression, referred to Adam Smith's view of human nature, that he thought "there was a Scotchman inside every man"? O'Brien (Classical Economists, 1975 p. 30) uses the expression saying "hilariously characterized by Bagehot", but Bagehot himself writes "It has been justly said that." (Economic Studies, 1880, p. 95). Is Bagehot's expression literary license or does the quotation came from any other source, academic or popular? Manuel SANTOS REDONDO
