"...in the company of men such as the economist Adam Smith,the chemist Joseph Black, and the philosopher David Hume, as well as such occasional visiting sparks as Benjamin Franklin and James Watt."
How cool is that, all these famous people all meeting together to discuss theories and ideas. I knew a lot of them were around the same time but I didn't know they would meet up and do this. This sounds awesome and would have been great to be at one of those meetings.
One question I have is I wonder if they didn't all work off of each other and have these meetings if they would have gotten some major idea's from one another that they came up with.
