0:00The first Scottish Enlightenment person, the first professor, I forget whether it was Edinburgh or Glasgow, I was wondering about that, was Gershwin Carmichael, who was only a professor for about two years before he died. But he was a professor, and at the beginning of the professorial, before that they were readers or whatever they were, and he translates Prufendorf and writes a commentary. He's the founder of the Scottish political economic wing and the Scottish Enlightenment. And so you've got Prufendorf, Carmichael, and Carmichael is the teacher of Francis Hutchison, Internally featured Adam Smith. We have a Carl Michael Smith, which is a connection.
