The Smith letter I have seen was in the London Morning Post:

There really should be lunatic asylums for nations as well as individuals. [America] is a nation with whom no contract can be made, because none will be kept; unstable in the very foundations of social life, deficient in the elements of good faith, men who prefer any load of infamy, however great, to any pressure of taxation however light. [Sampson 1982, p. 49; citing Pearson 1934, p. 295]

Smith wrote witty litters on all sorts of subjects. -- Michael Perelman Economics Department California State University Chico, CA 95929
