The Patriot's Edition Includes Five Books and an Extensive Appendix to the Articles. Adam Smith was born in a small Scottish village in 1723 and was raised by his widowed mother. He was college educated in England and was made Chair of Moral Philosophy at Glasgow University in 1752. Twelve years later, Smith decided to leave the world of academia to tutor the young duke of Buccleuch. For the next two years, they traveled throughout Switzerland and France, meeting the likes of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Francois Quesnay and Voltaire during their travels. Due to Smith's service to the duke, Smith was granted a life pension and he returned home to his small Scottish village of Kirkcaldy to write The Wealth of Nations. The book was published the same year as the American Declaration of Independence, 1776. Smith's work remains as popular as ever with his explanation of how rational self-interest in a free-market economy leads to economic well-being. Adam Smith became one of the leading expositors of economic thought, with currents of his thoughts seen in works by Karl Marx, John Maynard Keynes and Milton Friedman. (Timeless Classic Books)

Often called "Mr. Golf" or the "Icon of Golf," Harry Vardon was not much interested in golf as a child. His brother Tom loved golf and Harry eventually gave it a try in his late teens in his hometown of Gourville, Jersey on the British Channel Islands. Harry became a super star and was the first golfer to ever wear knickerbockers. With the first one being in 1896, Harry went on to win SIX Open Championships - a record that still stands today. In 1900, he toured the United States as the first international golf celebrity and finished his tour by winning the U.S. Open. The movie "The Greatest Game Ever Played" is about Harry's runner up performance at the 1913 U.S. Open. Harry was also a runner up at the 1920 U.S. Open at the age of 50. Harry struggled for years with tuberculosis but managed to win 62 golf tournaments with a record 14 in a row. When his health grew too poor to continue playing, Harry spent his time coaching and writing golf instruction and inspirational books. Harry Vardon died in 1937 in Totteridge, Hertfordshire, England. After his death, the PGA of America created the Vardon Trophy. It is awarded annually to the player on the PGA Tour with the year's lowest adjusted scoring average. This is an absolute "must read" for any golfer who has not yet had the pleasure
