Summary/Abstract: The article portrays Sophie de Grouchy (1764-1822) who translated Adam Smith’s Theory of Moral Sentiments into French adding eight letters, Lettres sur la Sympathie, with her own comments on his work. The Lettres engage critically with Smith's philosophical analysis of sympathy. They also present her criticism of institutions and views on other matters including philosophy. The latter are in many instances in variance with those preached by Smith.
